This is the first time I'm sharing something traditional on my blog. I am kashmiri, but born and raised in Lahore with typical Punjabi Culture. I love my Pakistani culture and traditions, Pakistan has a rich cultural heritage and has a long jewellery history. One of the first to start jewellery making were the peoples of the Indus Valley Civilisation which encompassed in Pakistan after partition in 1947.
However, Pakistan is a hub of traditional jewellery and design various kind of jewelleries, like Antique jewellery, bridal jewellery, kundan jewellery, polki jewellery, custom jewellery and handmade jewellery.
I remember when my mom used to wear such kundan and polki jewelleries in my childhood and I have been always wanting to wear kundan jewellery. Bridal Polki/kundan ring are used to describe a particular type of jewellery made with real gold and precious stones studded beautifully with pearls and stone drops.

My mom wore a very beautiful and precious kundan necklace at her wedding day and after long time kundan again in fashion now, but because of skyhigh gold prices, most of us cannot afford real gold. I went anarkali market and found some artificial kundan style jewellery, these are not made with real gold, but high quality metal with fine quality stones. However, they can't be as beautiful as real kundan jewellery is, but still they look good and affordable. I bought this ring just in 450 rupees, Kundan jewellery comes in various color combinations, I love them in red, green and champagne colors and the ring I bought has three white, red and champagne stone, which is defiantly a great combo and looks really pretty.
Do you love wearing jewellery? What kind of jewellery do you wear the most?
