Because the Wrist Deserves as Much Attention as the Ears
In the world of Indian jewellery, earrings and necklaces often steal the spotlight. But ask any stylist, any bride, or any woman who truly understands jewellery — and she will tell you that the wrist is where the magic happens.
A beautiful bracelet completes a look. It catches the light as you gesture, it draws the eye as you reach for something, and it tells a story of taste and intention that no other piece of jewellery quite can. At The Shopping Tree, our jadau kundan and polki bracelet collection is designed for women who understand this — and refuse to leave their wrists bare.

What is Jadau Kundan Jewellery?
Jadau is one of India's most ancient and revered jewellery-making techniques, originating in the royal courts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. It involves embedding precious or semi-precious stones directly into a gold or gold-finish base — creating a seamless, flush setting where the stone and metal become one.
Kundan refers to the highly refined gold used to set the stones, creating a smooth, continuous surface of gold and gem that has been the hallmark of Mughal and Rajput bridal jewellery for centuries.
Together, jadau kundan jewellery represents the pinnacle of Indian craftsmanship — and our bracelets bring this heritage to your wrist at an accessible price.
Our Jadau Kundan & Polki Bracelet Collection
1. Rene Jadau Kundan Bracelet — Golden
The Rene is where classic jadau craftsmanship meets modern elegance. Named with a nod to timeless refinement, this golden kundan bracelet features intricate stone setting in a design that is simultaneously traditional and wearable for the contemporary woman. It is the kind of bracelet that works as beautifully at a wedding reception as it does at a festive dinner — understated enough to complement any look, beautiful enough to be noticed.
2. Rushali Jadau Kundan Bracelet — Golden
The Rushali is a bracelet with presence. The jadau kundan work is bold and detailed, creating a piece that commands attention without being loud. In a warm golden finish, the Rushali is a natural choice for brides who want their wrist jewellery to match the grandeur of their necklace and earrings — and for wedding guests who want to make a quiet, confident statement. Stack it with the Rene for a layered bridal wrist look.
3. Akanksha Jadau Kundan Bracelet — Golden
The Akanksha — meaning ‘desire’ or ‘aspiration’ — is a bracelet that lives up to its name. The jadau kundan design is intricate and aspirational, with a level of detail that makes it feel like a piece of fine jewellery. It is the bracelet you reach for when you want to feel extraordinary — for a wedding, a puja, a celebration, or simply a day when you want to remind yourself of your own elegance.
4. Jinisha Polki Look Alike Adjustable Bracelet — Golden
The Jinisha is our polki showstopper. Polki jewellery — featuring uncut, raw-finish stones set in gold — has been a bridal staple in North India for centuries, beloved for its organic, unpolished beauty that looks like it was plucked directly from the earth. The Jinisha captures this aesthetic in an adjustable bracelet that fits all wrist sizes, making it as practical as it is beautiful. If you are looking for a bracelet that photographs like fine polki jewellery, this is it.
How to Style Jadau Kundan & Polki Bracelets
- Bridal Look: Stack the Rushali + Akanksha + Rene for a full, layered bridal wrist. Add the Jinisha polki bracelet for a mixed-finish look that is deeply editorial.
- Wedding Guest: Wear the Rene or Akanksha alone as a single statement bracelet with a silk saree or lehenga — elegant, refined, and perfectly pitched.
- Festive Casual: The Jinisha adjustable polki bracelet pairs beautifully with a simple cotton kurta or a fusion co-ord set — adding a touch of heritage to an everyday look.
- Gifting: A jadau kundan bracelet is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give — for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and milestones. Each piece comes with the story of a craft that has adorned Indian royalty for centuries.
The Art of Stacking Bracelets
Stacking bracelets is an art — and jadau kundan pieces are among the most stackable in Indian jewellery. Here are a few rules to stack by:
- Mix textures: Combine the smooth kundan finish of the Rene with the raw polki look of the Jinisha for a layered, multi-dimensional wrist.
- Odd numbers work best: Stack 3 or 5 bracelets for a balanced, intentional look.
- Match your metals: All four bracelets are in golden finish — making them perfectly stackable with each other and with temple gold bangles.
- Let one piece lead: Choose one statement bracelet (the Jinisha or Rushali) and let the others support it.
Jadau Kundan vs Polki — What’s the Difference?
- Jadau Kundan: Stones are set flush into a refined gold base — smooth, seamless, and deeply traditional. The Rene, Rushali, and Akanksha are jadau kundan pieces.
- Polki: Uncut, raw-finish stones set in gold — organic, textured, and with a natural brilliance that polished stones cannot replicate. The Jinisha is our polki lookalike piece.
- Both are rooted in centuries of Indian jewellery tradition and are considered among the most prestigious styles in bridal jewellery.
Care Tips for Jadau Kundan & Polki Bracelets
- Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box away from moisture and direct sunlight
- Avoid contact with water, perfume, and harsh chemicals
- Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing
- Do not use ultrasonic cleaners — they can loosen stone settings
- Store bracelets separately to prevent scratching
