We set silver-foiled stones into gold-plated brass and finish the metal by hand, bringing this royal-workshop craft within reach as accessible luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJadau Kundan was perfected from the sixteenth century in the royal workshops of Jaipur and Bikaner and in the karigar quarters of Gujarat, where the same craft is long known as Pachi Kundan; artisans pressed purified gold around each stone in a bed of lac so it sat secure without claws or prongs, the reverse often turned into a second artwork in meenakari enamel. Mortantra's pieces carry that setting tradition forward in gold-plated metalwork, holding each stone the way the craft always has.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA gold-plated Jadau Kundan long necklace featuring three strands of purple faceted beads punctuated by rectangular Kundan-set spacer bars.
