The Art Behind Indian Jewellery
At The P.S Collection, every piece is imported from India, a country where jewellery is woven into celebration, ceremony and everyday life. Here are a few of the traditional styles you'll find in our collection, and the stories behind them.
Kundan
Kundan is one of India's oldest jewellery-making traditions, closely associated with the royal courts of Rajasthan and the Mughal era. Stones or glass are set into the metal using thin layers of foil, giving each piece its rich, luminous look. Today, kundan-style jewellery is a favourite for weddings and festive occasions, often paired with pearls and coloured beads.

Meenakari
Meenakari is the art of decorating metal with coloured enamel. Patterns such as flowers, peacocks and paisleys are filled in with vivid colours, then fired to set the enamel. The craft is especially associated with Jaipur, and meenakari work often appears on the back of kundan pieces, or as a colourful feature all on its own.

Jhumkas
The jhumka, a bell-shaped earring often finished with tiny pearls or beads, has been worn across India for centuries and appears in classical sculpture and art. From small everyday jhumkas to grand chandbali-inspired designs, they remain one of the most loved Indian earring styles.

Oxidised jewellery
Oxidised jewellery has a darkened, antique-looking finish that highlights intricate engraving and tribal-inspired motifs. It pairs beautifully with cotton sarees, kurtas and even denim, which makes it a go-to for effortless, everyday Indian style.

Temple jewellery
Originating in South India, temple jewellery traditionally features motifs of deities, lotuses and peacocks, inspired by the ornaments used to adorn temple sculptures. It is a classic choice for classical dancers and brides.
