Kundan Earrings Online India — 20 Stunning Designs for Every Occasion 2026
Kundan jewellery is India's oldest and most revered jewellery art form. Originating in the royal courts of Rajasthan and Mughal India, kundan earrings have adorned the ears of queens, brides, and Indian women across centuries. Today, kundan earrings remain the most sought-after style for weddings, festive occasions, and traditional celebrations across India.
At Abdesigns Jewellery, our kundan earring collection brings this royal tradition to every woman at prices that feel welcoming rather than prohibitive.
What Is Kundan Jewellery?
Kundan is the art of setting gemstones — or their high-quality glass imitations — into a gold foil base using refined gold (24-karat) as the adhesive medium. The result is an intricate, flat-set stone appearance that is distinctly different from prong or bezel settings. Kundan jewellery is characterised by its flat, polished stone surfaces, its gold-outline setting, and its rich, royal aesthetic.
5 Most Popular Kundan Earring Styles
1. Kundan Chandbali Earrings
The chandbali — literally meaning crescent moon — is the most iconic kundan earring silhouette. Its distinctive half-moon shape drapes beautifully from the ear and frames the face like no other earring design. A pair of kundan chandbalis transforms any look into a bridal or festive masterpiece.
Best for: Weddings, sangeet, reception, grand festive occasions
Price: From ₹599
2. Kundan Jhumka Earrings
When the beloved jhumka silhouette meets kundan craftsmanship, the result is spectacular. Kundan jhumkas feature hand-set stones around the bell-shaped base with kundan work throughout the structure — creating an earring that is as much art as it is jewellery.
Best for: Festive occasions, family functions, traditional styling
Price: From ₹499
3. Kundan Stud Earrings
Not all kundan earrings need to be large statements. Kundan studs feature delicate stone settings in compact designs that are perfect for daily ethnic wear and office environments where you want a touch of traditional elegance.
Best for: Daily ethnic wear, office, casual festive
Price: From ₹349
4. Kundan Long Earrings
Long kundan earrings — sometimes called kundan passa or kundan shoulder dusters — make the most dramatic statement in Indian jewellery. These earrings cascade from the ear to the shoulder, creating a look that is unforgettable in person and stunning in photographs.
Best for: Bridal, reception, grand weddings, photo shoots
Price: From ₹799
5. Kundan Drop Earrings
A refined drop earring with kundan stone settings — longer than a stud but more wearable than a chandbali. The kundan drop earring is the most versatile style in the category, transitioning effortlessly from festive to formal occasions.
Best for: Versatile wear, office parties, family functions, moderate festive
Price: From ₹449
