Nita Ambani Adorns Shah Jahan’s Kalgi as Bajuband: Valued Over Rs. 200 Crores

Nita Ambani is skilled at presenting herself in the best possible way. Her incredible saree collection narrates the rich history of India. She enjoys mixing and matching her pricey diamond, gold, and emerald gems with various outfits from her vast jewellery collection. Every time she leaves the house for a family gathering or occasion, we have witnessed her wearing an extravagant outfit over the years. She recently turned heads in the Miss World 2024 competition with her Mughal emperor jewels. 

As Bajuband, Nita Ambani donned the Kalgi of a Mughal monarch.

Nita Ambani dazzled on March 9, 2024, during the Miss World contest in Mumbai, India, while wearing a handloom saree. For her charitable efforts, she was also granted the “Beauty with Purpose Humanitarian Award.” But everyone was focused on her bajuband—in reality, a Kalgi of Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor. An Instagram post made this claim and disclosed the price of the pricey item, which is more than Rs. 200 crores.

Nita Ambani chose a Banarasi saree with jangla design for her evening ensemble. The saree was made by hand from glossy gold and zari, adding an elegant touch to her ensemble. Her appearance was further emphasised by the beautiful floral jaal with meenakari workmanship. With luscious lips, rosy cheeks, a bindi, and subtle, sparkling makeup, Nita Ambani maintained her appearance on point. Her appearance was complemented by her softly curled hair. However, Nita Ambani chose bold earrings and kadas to round off her ensemble.

Topophilia, an Instagram page, stated that the jewel is 13.7 cm in height and 19.8 cm in width. It is crafted from gold and set with rubies, diamonds, and spinel’s with the Pachhikakaam method, which Indian jewellers employed in an effort to replicate the European claw setting. The stunning piece of jewellery was allegedly last seen in the AI Thani Collection before being sold at auction in 2019.
