Once considered old-fashioned, polki (uncut diamond) jewellery is experiencing a renaissance among discerning collectors and modern brides who appreciate its raw, authentic beauty.
Polki diamonds — uncut, unpolished, and unapologetically natural — have adorned Indian royalty since the Mughal era. Their soft, mirror-like surface creates a warm glow that is distinctly different from the fire of a modern brilliant cut.
At Nemichand Bamalwa, we have always been champions of polki. Our master setters work each uncut stone individually, understanding its unique shape and creating settings that celebrate rather than correct its natural form.

The new generation is drawn to polki for the same reasons their grandmothers loved it: authenticity, warmth, and a beauty that cannot be manufactured or replicated.
