No, that’s not a daydream, it’s for real!

She wore a blouse, at one event, curated with jadau jewellery which included diamonds, emeralds, and rubies among many other precious stones.

A video shared by the well-known designers, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, tells that the jewellery was from Isha’s “personal collection”. The concept here was that the designers used a red fabric as a base and covered it with actual precious jewellery by stitching it on.

“Isha gave all the little bits of jadau jewellery that she owns,” he said and added, “There’s polki, ruby, diamonds, emeralds, you name it, it’s there.” The caption of the video reads, “Some of the pieces belong to her personal collection and new jewels were also sourced from Gujarat and Rajasthan especially to be stitched on to the garment. The precious ornaments were dismantled and reinvented into couture where each jewel was first placed on hand-drawn paper patterns. After rounds of artistic experimentation, different stitches of gold and silver Zardozi work were infused with the jewellery pieces to create the wearable work of art.”
