What is Polki?

Also known as: Uncut diamond, Rose-cut diamond

Definition

Polki refers to unfaceted, uncut natural diamonds — the raw stone before modern brilliant-cut faceting was invented. Polki stones are set in gold with a silver-leaf foil backing that reflects light back through the stone, giving Polki its distinctive soft glow (versus the sharp brilliance of faceted diamonds). Polki is the primary diamond variety used in Jadau jewellery and is prized in Indian bridal collections. Polki is not lab-grown; it is real diamond in its unfaceted form.
