While browsing through their collection, one often sees polki designs, which instantly grab the eye of the viewer. Discussing the various kinds of polki settings, Rawat informs, “There are essentially two kinds of settings: the traditional jadau setting, which requires the use of wax and a ribbon of 24-karat gold (known as kundan) to seal the stone in place; and the bezel setting, commonly known as ‘open setting’, where the polki is slightly more exposed due to the absence of the kundan around it. In this case, the pieces are lighter in weight as no wax is required to set the stones.” With notable experience in the industry, Rawat sheds light on the emergence of the open setting as a relatively recent style that complements contemporary designs. Elaborating more on this setting of polki, he adds that it is often set with a combination of full-cut diamonds making it as easy to wear with western outfits as with traditional ones. Rawat further attributes polki’s popularity as the go-to choice for young buyers owing to its light weight.

When it comes to creating polki jewellery for younger buyers, Rawat sheds light on their technique of incorporating it in modern and innovative designs in such a way that heritage and fashion-forward aesthetics are married in a beautiful union. In fact their current collection blends classical designs with a modern touch. The use of open setting polki diamonds adds a youthful element and a sense of airiness to the pieces, beautifully complemented by the vibrant hues of emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. The inspiration behind this collection lies in celebrating the two very rich traditions of Jaipur—kundan, meenakari, and beautiful coloured stones. That said, the classical polki setting is of equal importance in a bride’s trousseau. Rawat remarks, “Nothing beats the grandeur and charm of the jadau setting pieces. This classical way of using polki will almost always be adorned by the discerning bride when deciding on jewellery to match her wedding outfit.” The brand, which displays its collection in both Jaipur and Kolkata, always keeps in mind they make pieces that can be used in multiple ways, to a host of occasions. They explain, “For instance, a choker can effortlessly be turned into a bracelet or a head ornament. The combination of easy-to-wear pieces that are lighter, fun, and not necessarily traditional has successfully captured the attention and preference of our young buyers.” The brand also prides itself on crafting bespoke jewellery to meet the needs of its clients, who hail from different age groups, with individual preferences. Additionally, they emphasise their goal, which is to ensure that each person is treated to a personalised experience. Rawat says, “Whether it’s incorporating specific gemstones, altering size, or creating entirely bespoke pieces, we are committed to fulfilling our clients’ aesthetic needs and ensuring they are satisfied.” And since the bride can’t always visit boutiques in person, Rawat Jewels makes necessary arrangements to deliver the selected jewellery pieces across the country or even internationally. Their commitment is that the jewellery will reach the wearer in a timely and secure manner. Rawat Jewels is just right for patrons who are seeking a refreshing twist to traditional designs. As Rawat states, “Our collections are a perfect fit for brides who appreciate timeless charm and seek jewellery pieces that transcend trends, allowing them to be cherished for generations to come.” And with a legacy of over two and a half centuries, from the heart of Jaipur, you can rest assured that your trousseau will be adorned with creations that will be loved forever.
