Chand Begum Jewels

The oversized choker that complemented Deepika Padukone’s maroon-hued Karan Torani ensemble at Anant Ambani’s wedding bash was the brainchild of Chand Begum Jewels. The  design was inspired by the bazuband worn by Sher Singh, the son of the first ruler of the Sikh Empire, Maharaja Ranjit Singh. But in the original design, the koh-i-noor diamond sat in place of the red gemstone in the center of her neckpiece. This brand, which has made a name for itself since 1865, specialises in this type of jewellery — which draws from the bazubands, turban ornaments, kadas and pendants of nobility, finding its roots in Islamic art and Indian heritage. It is the biggest proof of the age-old saying, “Old is Gold”.

Vandals
