These polki style uncut stone stud earrings imitate the look of polki, the traditional Indian jewellery made with uncut rather than faceted stones, where the appeal lies in the stone's natural, irregular surface.
Each centre stone is a broad, softly irregular shape rather than a neat oval or square, milky white with faint gold-coloured veining running through it. Because the surface is uncut, it glows rather than sparkles, which is exactly what distinguishes polki from faceted stones.
A close-set border of small clear crystals runs around the whole outline, following its irregular edge rather than forcing it into a regular shape. The setting is gold tone throughout.
Polki uses stones in their natural, uncut state, so no two are identical and the light they give is soft and diffused. Real polki is among the most expensive traditional Indian jewellery; this design borrows the look at a price that lets you wear it often.
The milky white and gold combination suits almost every outfit, but it looks especially good with ivory, cream, gold, blush and deep red. It is a favourite pairing for bridal and wedding-guest wear.
Because these are studs, they work under a dupatta or with a heavy necklace without competing.
At this size and weight the studs sit flat and stay secure all day, with nothing to tangle or catch. They pair comfortably with a heavy necklace, since they add no weight to the ear.
Uncut-look stones are irregular by nature, so only a proportion of each batch will pair well enough for earrings. The polki look is also in constant demand for weddings, which means stock rarely sits long.
Keep the earrings away from water, perfume and cosmetics, which settle into an uncut surface more visibly than a polished one. Wipe them with a soft dry cloth after wearing, and store them in a pouch.
Because the stones are irregular, these also pair well with each other across a jewellery box: no two polki pieces match exactly anyway, so mixing them looks deliberate rather than mismatched.
