A centuries-old Indian jewellery tradition, brought to life through skilled craftsmanship, intricate setting and timeless heritage.
Jadau is a traditional Indian jewellery technique celebrated for its distinctive use of uncut Polki diamonds, precious metals and intricate hand-setting. Each stone is carefully placed to create depth, character and the unmistakable richness of heritage jewellery.
At Padmini Jewels, Jadau represents more than a technique. It is a craft passed through generations, where the skill of the artisan, the character of every stone and the discipline of traditional workmanship come together in one creation.
The gold framework is carefully shaped to establish the form and structure of the jewellery.
Intricate patterns and motifs are carved into the surface, creating the foundation for the final design.
Traditional enamel work adds depth, colour and character to the reverse and detailed surfaces of the piece.
Polki diamonds and gemstones are carefully set by hand into the prepared gold framework.
The finished jewellery is meticulously cleaned, polished and refined to reveal its final character.
Put your jewellery on after perfume, makeup, hair products and other cosmetics to minimise exposure to chemicals.
Avoid water, perspiration and household chemicals. Moisture can affect the setting and finish over time.
Wrap each piece in a soft cloth and store it individually to prevent stones and gold surfaces from scratching one another.
After wearing, clean the jewellery with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning solutions or ultrasonic cleaners.
Hold the jewellery by its gold framework rather than pulling or pressing directly on the stones.
Periodic professional inspection helps maintain the setting, finish and overall condition of your heirloom jewellery.
