In India, jewellery has never been only ornament. Long before it was fashion, it was sanskar — part of how we mark life itself. A newborn’s first gold bangle, a bride’s heavy adornment, the pendant a mother slips around her daughter’s neck before a long journey: each piece carries blessing, memory, and protection. Our ancestors believed that what you wear close to the skin holds intention — that gold and stone could carry the prayers of those who gave them to you.
At TKS Fashions, every piece we make is rooted in that belief. Here is the tradition behind the three jewellery families our customers love most.
Polki — The Uncut Diamond, As Nature Made It
Polki is the oldest form of diamond jewellery in India, born in the courts of the Mughals and carried into the homes of royal families across Rajasthan and beyond. Unlike a cut and polished diamond, a polki stone is left uncut — set almost exactly as it emerged from the earth, catching light in a soft, golden glow rather than a sharp, modern sparkle.
To our ancestors, this was the very point. An unbroken stone was believed to hold the energy of the earth intact, untouched by the cutting wheel. Polki was rarely simply bought and sold; it was passed down — from grandmother to mother to daughter — gathering the blessings of each woman who wore it. To wear polki is to wear heritage itself.
Moissanite — The Modern Heirloom
Tradition was never meant to stand still. Moissanite is how the spirit of fine jewellery reaches a new generation — a brilliant, luminous stone with a fire all its own, beautifully crafted and far more within reach. It lets a young woman own the elegance her grandmother knew, without waiting a lifetime for it.
We see moissanite as a continuation, not a replacement. The same care, the same craftsmanship, the same intention to adorn and to bless — carried in a stone made for today. It is the heirloom you begin yourself, to one day pass on.
Micro Gold Plated — Keeping the Sacred Metal Close
In our tradition, gold is never merely precious — it is auspicious. It is the metal of Goddess Lakshmi, of weddings and festivals, of every shubh beginning. To start something new with gold is to invite prosperity and grace into it.
Micro gold plating keeps this sacred metal within reach of every woman, for every day — not only the wedding trunk, but the morning at the temple, the festival, the quiet Tuesday at home. Through fine layers of real gold over a strong base, the warmth and meaning of gold becomes part of daily life — the way our grandmothers always intended adornment to be: lived in, not locked away.
What Our Ancestors Believed
For generations, Indian women have worn jewellery as far more than decoration. Gold was protection and stored blessing — a form of wealth a woman could carry as her own. Stones were chosen with care, each associated in our tradition with light, the moon, and the planets, worn to invite balance and to guard against nazar. A piece given with love was believed to carry that love within it — a quiet guardian, worn against the skin.
We do not ask you to set aside what is modern. We simply make jewellery the way it was always meant to be made — with meaning woven into every stone, so that when you wear it, you carry a little of where you come from.
Adornment, the TKS Way
Whether it is the old-world glow of polki, the bright fire of moissanite, or the everyday grace of micro gold plated jewellery, every TKS piece is made to be more than beautiful. It is made to be yours — and one day, perhaps, your daughter’s.
