When it comes to choosing the perfect jewellery, two names often stand out — Kundan and American Diamond (AD) jewellery. Both are timeless, stunning, and make a strong fashion statement, but each has its unique charm. At Mivanaa, we offer a premium range of artificial jewellery in India, and one of the most common questions we get is:
“Should I go for Kundan or AD jewellery?”
Let’s explore the key differences, benefits, and best-use cases to help you make the right choice!
Kundan jewellery is one of the oldest forms of Indian jewellery, known for its regal, traditional look. It involves setting polished gemstones in gold or faux-metal foils. Kundan sets usually have intricate handwork, making them perfect for bridal and festive occasions.
Features of Kundan Jewellery:
Rich, royal aesthetic
Intricate Meenakari (enamel) work
Often used in bridal sets, maang tikkas, chokers, and jhumkas
Pairs well with lehengas, sarees & ethnic wear
American Diamond (AD) jewellery, also known as Cubic Zirconia (CZ) jewellery, is a popular diamond substitute. It is crafted in labs to mimic the brilliance of real diamonds and is a favorite among modern women who prefer elegant, affordable bling.
Features of AD Jewellery:
High-shine, crystal-clear brilliance
Lightweight & modern
Available in gold, silver, and rose gold finishes
Ideal for cocktail parties, evening wear, and office functions
