Deepika Padukone Donned Exquisite Choker 

Deepika Padukone accessorised her look with an exquisite choker from Chand Begum Jewels. The choker necklace took all the attention for its detailing. The necklace traces its origin to Sikh artistry and has a history associated with the family of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who was the emperor of the Sikh Empire. The choker featured a 150-carat ruby in the centre, encompassed by white sapphires. Back in time, Ranjit Singh wore a similar neckpiece, bejewelled with Kohinoor diamond. She adorned her neckpiece with matching earrings, golden bangles and a white ring. She had a red bindi and garland around her hair to complete her look.

Chand Begum Jewel (contrast jewellery with lehenga) took to Instagram to share the details about the choker necklace. The caption read, 

“An Important Bazuband from the Sikh Empire

In the heart of history, a hidden treasure lies, ready to weave a tale that transcends generations. Today, we reveal a bazuband with a history tied to the family of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the emperor of the Sikh Empire.

This magnificent Bazuband, adorned with white sapphires and a central large spinel, is a testament to Sikh craftsmanship. Notably, the centrepiece of our bazuband bears a remarkable similarity to the Timur Ruby, also part of Ranjit Singh's collection, and once safeguarded in the Lahore State treasury. On a historical note, a portrait of Sher Singh, the son of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, shows him wearing a similar bazuband.

Today, this bazuband has found its place among the collection of Chand Begum jewels, preserving its history and carrying its legacy.”
