Manik Kundan Buttons — 22K Gold Plated Crystal Flower on Ruby Red Enamel

A crystal flower blooming on ruby red.

Kundan is the royal Indian art of setting stones in pure gold, perfected in the courts of Rajasthan. Manik is ruby — the stone of kings and the colour of the Indian wedding.

The Manik Kundan set is jewellery in the classic kundan-meena style. Each domed button is cast in solid brass and plated in 22K gold. A flower of pear-shaped crystals opens around a large round crystal at the centre, set over rich ruby-red enamel. Gold vines curl outward to eight more crystals around the edge, and a pierced gold rim finishes the side.

Made for the wedding day. It glows on ivory, cream and gold sherwanis, and looks equally regal on maroon and wine. Pair with a maroon silk pocket square. The royal blue version is Neelam Kundan.
