Faceted glass or crystal beads (cutdana) are hand-stitched individually onto fabric. Each bead has multiple cut surfaces that reflect light, creating sophisticated sparkle. Artisans arrange cutdana in lines, clusters, or scattered patterns to create depth and dimension.
Originally using semi-precious stones, Cutdana evolved as artisans developed high-quality glass alternatives. This democratized the luxurious look while maintaining its royal appeal, making it a staple in Indian bridal wear.
