Maang Tikka Styles for Every Face Shape
The Maang Tikka is more than an accessory — it frames your face. Here's how to choose the perfect style for your face shape.
At first glance, Polki and Kundan jewellery can look remarkably similar — both feature uncut diamonds or stones set in gold with intricate craftsmanship. But the differences are significant.
Polki Jewellery
Polki uses uncut, unpolished diamonds in their natural form. These raw diamonds, called Polki, are set directly into gold foil. The result is a jewel with a slightly rough, antique appearance that catches light in a uniquely organic way.
Kundan Jewellery
Kundan uses highly refined 24-karat gold foil (Kundan) pressed around glass or precious stones. The gold itself becomes the star, creating a rich, lustrous setting. Kundan pieces often feature Meenakari on the reverse side.
Which to Choose?
For weddings, both are excellent choices. Polki tends to be more expensive due to real diamonds, while Kundan offers incredible beauty at a more accessible price point.
