Polki jewelry is the style of design in jewelry which originated in India. The word polki stands for "uncut diamond". When the intricate design of jewelry is planned, the uncut diamond was set as the central attraction. However, with diamond being an expensive item these days coloured stones or semi-precious stones are nowadays set in the design.
In recent years it has become a popular item of jewelry due to the popularity of Indian or Bollywood movies and the lavish display by the actresses in films and television serials. Women love to have them and it is very common in India and Pakistan to wear them at all social functions. To cut costs and meet the demand the original precious metals have been replaced with oxidized metals which make it difficult to differentiate from real. Hwever, the original precious stone jewelry could never be duplicated because no uncut diamond can be of same size and shape.
