Polki and Kundan are native Indian traditional or bridal jewelry that denotes royalty. This jewelry goes through the same manufacturing process, and to many people, the two are presented as if they are the same. Polki was made for those who cannot afford diamonds. Polki is more expensive than Kundan but less expensive than the real deal.

Polki is made from uncut diamonds, while Kundan is made of glass stones. One of the main discerning features of Polki is that it possesses a shiny appearance, more so than Kundan. The uncut diamonds are slightly polished without any further lab, craftsmanship, or chemical treatments.

Polki is more expensive than Kundan, and it is in higher demand. The composition of Kundan is different with each glass stone. Kundan is made up of sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. Kundan has a very polished appearance, and it reflects light more than Polki does.
