American diamond necklace set or a kundan set: which search you actually mean

“American diamond necklace set” is one of the highest-volume jewellery searches in India. In a shop, AD means a colourless faceted stone: cubic zirconia or crystal, set in gold-tone or rose-gold-tone metal. It does not mean a diamond, and it does not mean kundan. Kundan is the foil-backed, gold-outline stone look — coloured drops, white kundan around a coloured centre, often with pearls or meenakari.

Buy the AD / crystal set when the outfit is ivory, silver, or a plain gown and you want sparkle without a coloured stone. Buy the kundan set when the lehenga or saree already has a colour and the jewellery should repeat it. Wearing both a full crystal collar and a coloured kundan collar is too much for a guest.

The crystal set, then the coloured sets

Crystal and CZ pieces also sit with earrings and tennis bracelets. Coloured stone sets are in kundan jewellery. Care for either: perfume dulls the plating and the foil behind a kundan-style stone.

Questions

Is American diamond a real diamond?

No. In Indian fashion jewellery, American diamond means cubic zirconia or crystal. A real diamond is certified and priced by carat.

Is Cunei’s clear scalloped set AD?

It is a gold-tone set with clear CZ crystals, earrings and a maang tikka, at the price on the product page. That is the AD-style search, not a diamond necklace.

Which is better for a wedding guest?

Match the outfit. A coloured lehenga wants a kundan-style set in that colour. A light saree or a gown can take the clear crystal set.
