Deity jewellery comes in several styles, and each gives Thakur ji a different look. Here is a simple comparison to help you choose. All Kritima pieces are imitation (artificial) jewellery made for deity adornment – not real gold or diamond.
| Style | Look | Best for | Care |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD (American diamond) | Bright, diamond-like sparkle | Daily and festive shringaar; shines under diya light | Brush stones with a soft dry brush; avoid water |
| Kundan | Traditional, rich, flat-set stones | Festivals, weddings of Thakur ji, Navratri | Never wash; wipe gently; store flat |
| Semi-precious pearl | Soft, elegant, classic | Pushti shringaar, Shrinathji, summer seva | Keep away from water, attar and chandan |
| Meena (enamel) | Colourful painted detail | Matching colourful poshak | Avoid knocks; enamel can chip |
| Gold polish | Warm gold finish | Classic festive look | Wipe dry; keep away from moisture |
| Silver polish | Bright silver finish | White or pastel poshak | Wipe dry; store in a sealed pouch |
How to choose
- For everyday seva: AD pieces are sparkly and easy to care for. Have a look at our mukut and chokers.
- For festivals: kundan or a gold-polish set gives a grand look. See kundan shringaar.
- For Pushti seva: pearls are the natural choice – see Pushti Shringaar.
- To match a white or pastel poshak: try silver-polish shringaar.
Whatever you choose, remove jewellery before abhishek and store each piece separately. Full tips in our jewellery care guide.
