Kundan work is a method of gem setting, consisting of inserting gold foil between the stones and its mount. Often Kundan work is combined with enameling, Meenakari, so that a piece of jewellery has two equally beautiful surfaces, enamel at the back end and Kundan set gems in the front. Meenakari involves the fusion of colored minerals, such as cobalt oxide for blue, copper oxide for green. This, on the surface of the metal, gives the effect of precious stone inlay work. The glitz of Kundan jewelleries lies in its past connection with the royal kings and queens and that give these timeless jewellery an extra glitter of royal touch.

Kundan, one of the oldest forms of jewellery making, is an art that derived the inspiration from the Mughals who mastered the art of setting different precious stones in silver and gold metals. In recent times the form of art has developed and the jewelers create splendid and eye catching Kundan jewelleries of different modern and traditional styles.

A wide variety of Kundan jewellery is available in the market ranging from necklace, pendant, bangle, rings, bracelet, earrings etc that bedeck an Indian woman.
