Kundan Anklets Are Back: How This Traditional Jewel is Dominating Gen-Z Fashion in 2025
A Style Guide by Danish Jewellers
If there's one thing 2025 has made crystal clear, it's that traditional jewellery is making a massive comeback, and Kundan anklets are leading the revival. Once reserved for bridal trousseaus and festive occasions, these exquisite pieces are now becoming everyday staples—especially among Gen-Z fashionistas who crave heritage with a twist.
At Danish Jewellers, we've seen firsthand how this age-old craft is transforming into a modern must-have. Here's everything you need to know about the Kundan anklet trend and how you can style it for today’s fashion landscape.
🔮 What Are Kundan Anklets?
Kundan jewellery originated during the Mughal era and is crafted using precious gemstones set with gold foil between the stones and its mount. When this regal artistry is applied to anklets—traditionally called Payal—you get a fusion of elegance and royalty.
Each piece features intricate design, vibrant stones, and delicate craftsmanship that makes it a timeless accessory. But in 2025, the look has evolved with bolder choices, custom colours, and mixed metals.
