Kundan is a traditional form of Indian gemstone jewelry that involves a set of gems with gold foil between the stone and its rides, usually for a complicated necklace. This method is believed to have come from royal palaces of Rajasthan and Gujarat. This is one of the older forms of jewelry made and used in India. The word kundan means a very fine gold, and a very pure and pure form of liquid gold is used.
Kundan, also known as Bikaneri or Jaipuri jewelry, is a popular variation, where enamel with bright colors and design is the opposite, while the kundan setting is in the front. Jaipur City in Rajasthan has traditionally been the center of Kundan jewelry in India.

Histori
Kundan embarked on the Royal Rajasthan palace and then flourished under royal protection during the Mughal era. Over the years, Kundan's jewelery in court was successfully copied in silver in Rajasthan, Bihar and Punjab and became popular among the common man.
It remains an integral part of the bride's traditional bridal wedding gown. Traditional arrangements, including thappa and swamp race, are undergoing a revival. More recently, in the 2008 epic film, Jodhaa Akbar , the main character depicted by Aishwariya Rai is widely featured wearing the Kundan jewelry, highlighting his influence among the Rajasthani nobility.
In 2006, "American Diamond" and Kundan jewelry contributed the largest share of market value and volume (73 percent) in the Indian jewelry market.

Process
Kundan Jewelery is made by setting carefully-shaped diamonds, cut and colorful gemstones that are polished into pure pure gold or imitation metal base. A complex process begins with a skeletal skeleton called Ghaat . After that, the Paadh procedure takes place, as long as the wax is poured into the frame and printed according to the design. Here is the Khudai process, when unbroken stones or gems match the skeleton. Meenakari then involves enameling to determine the design details. Furthermore, the Use process involves a gold foil that stores gems into the frame; this is cold soldered using a polishing technique. Finally, the gems are polished using the Chillai process.
