REGIONAL JEWELLERY STYLES<br />

COIMBATORE<br />

Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) is an important fabrication centre due to its proximity to Chennai. Its jewellery tends to imitate<br />

forms found in nature. Its speciality is light filigree jewellery that incorporates gold wire, stamped florets, flat discs and<br />

hemispheres.<br />

KUNDAN JEWELLERY<br />

Kundan jewellery incorporates the irregular shapes of uncut precious, semi-precious or coloured stones or pearls into<br />

carefully wrought yellow gold mounts that can be leaf, octagonal, square, oval and pear shaped. The rich colourful effect is<br />

repeated on the back of the settings, brilliantly enamelled with floral motifs. Rajasthan and Gujarat are important kundan<br />

fabrication centres.<br />
