The Kundan jewelry pieces can be formed into rakhras (those worn in the forehead), necklaces, chokers, bracelets, waistbands, anklets, earrings, armlets, and earrings. Actually, as a fact, ornaments are made supposedly for every part of the human body--sixteen types of body adornment called solah shringar. This brings back into mind old times of luxurious lifestyles and grand magnificence.

Kundan jewelry is considered to follow one of the oldest jewelry-making traditions of India. The Kundan jewelry is said to have been made, not only for humans, but also for deities as well--even ceremonial elephants and horses. The materials used for making Kundan jewelry had to be from the finest materials--say, the gold used should be of high quality. People before used jewelries as forms of investment; thus, to go for pieces of lower quality makes little, if any, sense.
