India’s rich cultural heritage is woven with threads of artistry and legacy. Few things capture this essence more vividly than Rajwadi jewellery. Rooted in the grandeur of royal courts and the craftsmanship of generations, Rajwadi designs have long symbolized prestige, power, and timeless beauty. Today, with the rise of curated online collections, this regal heritage is being reimagined for the modern woman—accessible, versatile, and effortlessly elegant.
At Maisha, we celebrate this transformation by offering Rajwadi jewellery that honors tradition while embracing contemporary sensibilities.
The Royal Origins of Rajwadi Jewellery
The term “Rajwadi” translates to “royal,” and true to its name, this style of jewellery draws inspiration from the adornments once worn by Maharajas and Maharanis. Influenced by the Rajput and Mughal dynasties, Rajwadi pieces are known for their bold silhouettes, intricate detailing, and rich use of materials like gold, Kundan, Polki, and Meenakari enamel.
-
Rajput craftsmanship favoured structured designs with uncut gemstones and heavy gold settings.
-
Mughal artistry introduced floral motifs, filigree work, and Persian-inspired elegance.
Together, these influences created a jewellery style that was both commanding and graceful—perfect for ceremonial wear and heirloom collections.
Craftsmanship That Tells a Story
Rajwadi jewellery is more than ornamentation—it’s storytelling in metal and stone. Each piece is handcrafted using techniques passed down through generations:
-
Kundan: A traditional method of setting uncut stones in gold foil, often paired with Meenakari work on the reverse.
-
Polki: Raw, unpolished diamonds that lend an antique charm and depth to bridal sets.
-
Jadau: A meticulous process where artisans embed stones into gold without soldering, creating seamless, elegant designs.
These techniques result in jewellery that feels alive—with every curve, gem, and enamel stroke echoing centuries of artistry.
