Kundan-Meena Jewellery Making in Jaipur

Rajasthan Tourism describes Jaipur as known for Kundan and Meenakari jewellery. The national Handicrafts office’s process guide shows that Kundan-Meena work can involve several stages, including metal forming, enamelling, stone setting and assembly. Methods and materials depend on the piece and the artisan.

What to know

This guide explains how enamel work and stone setting can come together in one object. It gives buyers more useful questions than relying on a style name alone.

Good to Know

Ask for a written description of metal, stones and enamel, and request relevant invoices or certification for valuable purchases. A traditional appearance does not confirm purity, material or origin. See the separate jewellery-verification guide before buying.
