Fitting Kundan stones, a traditional form of Indian gemstone jewelry, involves embedding polished gemstones into a metal base, usually gold or faux gold, using a specific technique. Here’s a step-by-step guide to fitting Kundan stones in your jewelry or craft projects:
Materials Needed:
- Kundan Stones: Available in various shapes, sizes, and colors.
- Metal Base: Typically gold-plated or brass, with pre-designed settings or patterns.
- Glue or Lac: Traditional lac (a type of resin) or modern jewelry adhesive.
- Tweezers: For handling the small stones.
- Embossing Tools: For pressing and setting the stones.
- Cleaning Cloth: To wipe off excess glue or residue.
Steps to Fit Kundan Stones:
- Prepare the Base:
- Clean the metal base to ensure it is free from dust and oils.
- Choose a design or pattern where you want to place the Kundan stones.
- Apply Adhesive:
- If using traditional lac, heat it until it becomes malleable and apply it to the metal base. Modern jewelry adhesive can be used directly.
- Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the designated area.
- Place the Stones:
- Using tweezers, carefully pick up a Kundan stone.
- Place the stone onto the adhesive-covered area.
- Press gently to ensure it adheres well.
- Setting the Stones:
- Use embossing tools to press and set the Kundan stone firmly into the adhesive.
- Continue placing and setting the stones according to your design.
- Finishing Touches:
- Allow the adhesive to dry completely. This can take a few hours to overnight, depending on the type of adhesive used.
- Clean any excess adhesive or lac around the stones with a cleaning cloth.
Tips:
- Precision: Be precise with the placement of the stones to ensure a neat and professional look.
- Pattern: Plan your design pattern in advance to ensure a cohesive final product.
- Safety: If using traditional lac, be cautious with heating to avoid burns.
