Stash of Artificial Kundans (embellishments)

Here I am sharing my stash of kundans, which I use for art works, especially embroidery. These are also called Kundan embroidery. Not only for that I also use it with tatting and other kinds of embroideries. Kundan embroidery adds a regal and ornate touch to garments, making them suitable for special occasions and traditional ceremonies. The intricate craftsmanship and use of reflective stones create a dazzling effect, making Kundan embroidery highly prized in Indian fashion and textile arts.

All artists, especially embroiders or dress/saree designers will normally have stash of many art and craft materials. I too have many such stash. I have shared my stash of white color laces and golden color laces. Here goes the stash of Kundans:
