Kundan Jewellery Under Rs 1000: How to Choose Online
by Jihaan Savla on Oct 29, 2026
Quick answer: For kundan jewellery under Rs 1000, start with studs or small jhumkis for daily and daytime wear, and buy a choker set only after checking its weight and how it sits on your neckline. These are fashion pieces in plated brass or alloy with uncut kundan-look stones, so judge them by size, weight and outfit match.

Kundan has a reputation for being expensive, but fashion kundan in plated brass or alloy gives you the same festive look at a far lower budget. The trick is knowing which pieces work at this level and which to skip. Our kundan jewellery under Rs 1000 collection has over 120 pieces, and this guide helps you pick from it. Check the price on each product page, because it can differ by design.
What kind of kundan jewellery can I find under Rs 1000?
You will mostly find earrings: studs, jhumkis, dangles and combo sets of two or three pairs, plus a few lighter choker sets. Earrings give you the most kundan for the money because the stones are small and the metal weight is low. If you want to widen the search, the kundan earrings under Rs 1000 collection narrows it to ears only, and the main kundan jewellery collection shows the full range.
Which kundan earrings suit daily and office wear?
Small studs. The round kundan stone stud on a silver-plated brass base weighs 3.2 g, and the oval kundan stud weighs 3.8 g, which is light enough to forget you are wearing them. A set of three butterfly and heart studs in plated brass weighs 4.9 g in total and comes in gold or silver plating. Pair them with a plain kurta, a white shirt or a work saree. Our stud earrings buying guide explains sizes and backs in more detail.
Are kundan jhumkis under Rs 1000 too heavy?
Not the small ones. The flower jhumkis with green uncut kundan stones measure 3 x 1.5 cm and weigh 11 g, and the purple pair measures 4 x 1.5 cm at 14.4 g. Both are alloy with an antique gold finish. That makes them a compact drop for a mehndi or sangeet. Larger chandelier styles weigh more, so look at the listed weight before you buy. For more styles, see our jhumka earrings collection.
Can I get a kundan choker set in this budget?
Sometimes, in the lighter designs. One example is a gold-plated alloy choker with small golden balls and ruby-colour uncut kundan stones, listed at 16.8 g with a pair of earrings. The necklace measures 20 x 1.5 cm. Heavier collar-style sets cost more, so read the weight line on each page. If your budget is a little higher, try the choker sets under Rs 1000 collection too.
Which outfits and occasions suit budget kundan?
Green kundan looks good with red or pink silk, purple works with grey, lilac or cream, and silver-plated kundan studs suit white, grey and pastel shades. For a daytime haldi or mehndi, a pair of jhumkis with a simple outfit is enough. Our guide to matching kundan with outfit colours goes deeper, and the jewellery by outfit hub helps if you are shopping from the outfit first.
How do I check size and weight before I buy?
Read the size line and the weight line on the product page, then compare them with something you own. A pair under 5 g is comfortable all day. A pair around 10 to 15 g is fine for a function of a few hours. If a listing does not show a measurement, ask us on WhatsApp before ordering. Our guide to reading jewellery measurements on a product page shows how.
How do I care for kundan jewellery?
Wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing, put it on after perfume and hairspray, and store each piece in its own pouch. Keep it dry. Our steps for cleaning kundan jewellery at home are safe for stone-set pieces, and the gold-plated care guide covers the metal. Fashion jewellery is plated, so some wear over time is normal.
Is it worth buying a combo set?
Yes, if you want variety. A two-pair set that mixes silver and antique gold finishes weighs 13.4 g in total, and lets you wear the silver pair with white or grey and the gold pair with warm colours. A combo costs less per pair than buying singles. Choose a combo only if you will wear both finishes. You can also browse the full jewellery by budget hub.
