The Enduring Character of Polki
Why an uncut stone asks more of the hand that sets it — and gives more back over time.
Polki is read before it is set. Each stone arrives with its own surface, its own way of holding light, and no two behave alike.
The work is slower for it. A single composition can wait weeks while the right stone is found for a single position.
Worn well, a polki piece deepens with time — the gold settles, the foil warms, and the stones keep the soft glow they were chosen for.
