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 Thappa Jadau long necklace set in the White colourway, featuring a structured pendant set with uncut-look faux Polki stones in lac, flanked by small accent stones in what appear to be a soft red-pink colourway. The chain is strung with small off-white pearls and pale translucent beads, lending the piece an airy, delicate character. The square stud earrings echo the pendant's Thappa Jadau stonework with a central focal stone surrounded by a border of smaller set stones. The overall composition sits within the Jadau Kundan tradition of Rajasthan and Gujarat, adapted through the Thappa setting technique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mortantra","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":50542716125407,"sku":"TJ-S170","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/3314\/6791\/files\/TJ-S170-2.jpg?v=1783585436","url":"https:\/\/mortantra.com\/products\/gold-plated-thappa-jadau-kundan-necklace-set-tj-s170","provider":"Mortantra","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
