Sunhera means "golden" in Hindi, like the golden beauty of a woman.
Sunhera is a couture collection of Kundan Meena Jewelry, the handcrafted gemstone and enamel accessories made popular by the Indian Maharajas of the 18th century. With its fine assortment of jewelry, Sunhera pays tribute to the authenticity of personal craftsmanship, intricacy of design, and the legacy of the original Kundan Meena Jewelry.
Infused with vitality and vision, each piece of Sunhera Kundan Meena Jewelry is created to reach new heights of magnificence. The specialized attention within the elaborate process produces two distinctive sides to the jewel: one side with gemstone inlaid in gold and the other side with a detailed enamel design. As a result, each piece of Sunhera Kundan Meena jewelry is elevated to a wearable object of fine art, creating a unique masterpiece in and of itself.
