 Kundan : A specialty of Rajasthan, is work of Kundan, the jewelry in which kundan is applied, mostly made from a core of lac, a natural resin. The pieces which make up the finished object are first shaped by specialist craftsmen (and solder together if the shape is complicated). Holes are cut for the stones, any engraving or chasing is carried out, and the pieces are enameled. When the stones are to be set, lac is inserted in the back, and is then visible in the front through the holes. Highly refined gold, the kundan, is then used to cover the lac and the stone is pushed into the kundan. |
