What is the difference between beadwork, sequin work, and Cutdana in Indian embroidery?
These three embellishments are often grouped together — but they differ in material, shape, and effect:
| Embellishment | Shape | Material | Effect | Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sequin (sitara/tish) | Flat disc, circular or shaped | Plastic or metal foil | Flat reflective shimmer | Party wear, all-over coverage festive |
| Beadwork | Spherical, tubular, or shaped | Glass, plastic, crystal | 3D texture + sparkle | Premium blouses, saree borders |
| Cutdana | Small teardrop or diamond-shaped cut | Glass — hand-cut | Multi-faceted sparkling — similar to Swarovski but traditional | Bridal work, premium ethnic embellishment |
| Zardozi drop | Hanging metallic drop | Metal alloy | Movement + metallic flash | Bridal, premium festive |
Cutdana: Traditional hand-cut glass pieces — a skill that originated in India before modern crystal manufacturing. Cutdana work predates and inspired the Swarovski crystal industry.
