Introduction

Few jewellery traditions in India carry the cultural weight of Polki. Rooted in the Mughal courts of the 16th century, Polki jewellery uses uncut, unpolished diamonds set in gold — each stone completely unique, never two alike. At Firuzeh Jaipur, this ancient craft is very much alive, reimagined for today's discerning woman.

What Makes Polki Different from Other Diamond Jewellery?

Unlike brilliant-cut diamonds that are shaped for maximum sparkle, Polki diamonds are left in their natural flat form and mounted with the reflective surface facing outward. This gives Polki pieces their characteristic diffused, luminous glow — less fire, more soul.

There are three primary types:

•       Syndicate Polki — the finest quality, using pure uncut diamonds

•       Zimbabwe Polki — slightly lower grade, still highly sought-after

•       Filgree Polki — budget-friendly variations using glass inserts

Firuzeh exclusively works with high-quality Polki stones sourced from trusted artisans in Jaipur's legendary gem trade.

The Craftsmanship Behind Every Firuzeh Polki Piece

Each Firuzeh Polki jewel passes through multiple skilled hands — the mistri (master craftsman), the kundansaaz (setting specialist), and the meenakari artist who adds vibrant enamel work to the reverse. This multi-step process can take weeks for a single piece.

Signature pieces from the Firuzeh Polki Collection include the Alizey Polki Studs, the Mahira Ring, and the Pearl & Diamond Polki Tikka Set — each a statement of quiet, opulent confidence.

How to Style Polki Jewellery

•       Bridal occasions: pair a Polki maangtika with a silk lehenga

•       Festive wear: layer Polki earrings with contemporary outfits for an eclectic look

•       Contemporary styling: a single Polki ring worn with western attire creates an effortless fusion statement

Caring for Your Polki Jewellery

Polki pieces should never be soaked in water or cleaned with chemicals. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store separately in a fabric-lined box. Avoid contact with perfume and hairspray. Bring to a professional jeweller for annual cleaning.
