Uncut Earrings

Uncut Polki Earrings in a Gold-Tone Finish

Polki is the oldest language of Indian jewellery. Long before stones were faceted and polished, Mughal karigars set them exactly as they came out of the earth, flat, raw and uncut, so they caught candlelight rather than throwing it back. These uncut earrings from Glorious Jewels carry that same unhurried glow, built as a pair you can actually wear through a full wedding season.

The design opens with a rectangular uncut polki stone framed by a fine pave halo, drops through a turquoise cabochon bow, and settles into a soft peach-mauve panel accented with ruby-red and deep green stones. Below it, a fringe of oval uncut drops moves as you move. It is a traditional silhouette drawn in a lighter, more wearable scale.

What makes this pair special

• Uncut polki-style stones with the flat, lustrous surface of true polki work
• Turquoise cabochon accents that lift the piece away from the usual red-and-white palette
• A fringe of oval drops that gives movement without weight on the ear
• Warm gold-tone plating that sits comfortably alongside kundan, meenakari and temple jewellery
• Versatile colour story that works with pastels, ivories and jewel tones alike

How to style them

These earrings are made for the days that matter. Wear them with a pastel organza or silk saree and leave the neck bare, letting the drops do the talking. For a lehenga, pair them with a slim matha patti and skip the heavy necklace. They work just as well over a plain anarkali or a kurta set when you want something festive without going full bridal.

Caring for your polki earrings

Imitation jewellery lasts far longer than people expect, provided it is treated kindly. Put your earrings on last, after perfume, hairspray and makeup have settled. Wipe them with a soft dry cloth after wearing, and store them in a separate pouch or a lined box so the stones do not rub against other pieces. Keep them away from water, and they will hold their finish for years.
