The Art Of Handcrafted Jadau Jewellery

Jadau being a process of setting stones using Kundan and ornamentation with enamelling is one of the most intricate art forms of jewellery making. Indian craftsmen have been making Kundan Jewellery for a long period but during the Mughal era, the art of enamelling (meenakari) was introduced and many craftsmen adapted the new art form and developed the quintessential art of Jadau Jewellery. In today’s time, Jadau art holds a magnificent respect for its luxurious style.

Step 1 - Design - Chaap

The design is the first & most important step where the graphic representation/ blueprint of all ideas and thought-process is formed. The proficient designers at Raniwala Jewellers work hard to prepare exquisite formations out of modern inspirations and our rich heritage. These designs are shared with the karigars at Atelier Raniwala 1881, who bring them to life with sheer aestheticism.

Step 2 - Mounting - Ghat

Making of Ghat, the second step of crafting the Jadau Jewellery. Ghat is a gold frame over which the complete jewellery is built; crafted by Ghadia. The sections are structured to bring the final look of the design. Depending on the design, it could be a single structure with sections or different separate structures. Since Kundan; 24 karat – pure gold is too soft for jewellery, the ghats are made using 14-22 karat gold forms. After the ghats are completed, they are given to engravers for next stage of art.

Step 3 - Engraving - Khudai
