How to select Indian Bangle size?
Indian Bangles are sized by their diameter. The unit of measurement is inches. An inch is further divided into 16 sections. So, when a bangle size is 2-8 (pronounced two eight), it means the diameter of the bangle is 2 inches plus 8 / 16 sections of the inch. Which is 2 and half inches.

Rubies, emeralds, sapphire and semi precious stones were already being set in the kundan form of jewelry. To add color to the products, enamel work was done wherever required which made it more appealing and better finished. Gradually, the distinction of a diamond from the glass being used in these products was categorised by another technique called ‘polki’.
