Polki Stones vs Polished Cut Stones: Timeless Wedding Jewellery at Paul Jewellers

Jewellery holds a special place in Indian culture, especially during weddings and major life celebrations. It’s more than just decoration. It’s a symbol of tradition, emotion, and personal legacy.

At Paul Jewellers, we proudly offer two of the most cherished stone styles in Indian jewellery: Polki stones and polished cut stones. Each has its own unique charm and purpose, especially when paired with finely crafted gold.

Polki stones are natural, uncut diamonds. Unlike modern diamonds, they are not faceted or polished. This gives them a soft, antique glow that feels organic and deeply rooted in tradition.

Polki jewellery is typically set using traditional techniques like Kundan or Jadau, where layers of pure gold are used to hold the stones. These methods have been passed down for generations and are especially popular in Rajasthani and Mughal-inspired designs.

The result is jewellery that feels regal, full of character, and ideal for traditional Indian weddings. Polki sets, maang tikkas, chokers, and earrings have long been a favourite for brides who want to honour their heritage in style.

When paired with gold, Polki jewellery carries a warmth and richness that’s perfect for the wedding day, pre-wedding events, and family functions steeped in culture.

On the other hand, polished cut stones offer a modern take on elegance. These include faceted diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and other precious or semi-precious gems.

Unlike Polki, these stones are shaped and polished to reflect maximum light. They offer brilliance, sharpness, and a more contemporary aesthetic.

Jewellery with cut stones is ideal for receptions, engagement ceremonies, and occasions where a bit of modern sparkle is welcome. They’re also great for everyday luxury, offering timeless beauty that works beyond the wedding.

When set in 18K or 22K gold, polished stones take on a refined, sophisticated look. Whether it’s a simple diamond pendant or a bold coloured-stone ring, these pieces are both elegant and versatile.

At Paul Jewellers, we honour the distinct beauty of both Polki and cut stones. We do not combine the two in our designs. Each style is kept separate to preserve its traditional integrity and design identity.

Our Polki collections stay true to their heritage, featuring handcrafted detail and old-world charm. Our cut stone collections focus on clean lines, brilliant finishes, and timeless appeal.

Whether you’re looking for a full bridal set or something subtle for a reception or engagement, we offer a wide range of jewellery that suits every taste, function, and tradition.

As you prepare for a wedding or special occasion, the jewellery you choose becomes part of your story. It represents your culture, your style, and your celebration.

From the raw elegance of Polki set in gold to the refined sparkle of cut stones in modern settings, Paul Jewellers helps you find pieces that feel truly personal.
