But, it was just not the sari that caught our eye, it was her jewellery, specifically a bajuband that she flaunted which needs to be talked about due to its sheer beauty.

According to @Topophilia.India, an Instagram page, on the Miss World evening; Nita was wearing a sarpech (kalgi) which belonged to the Mughal empire and was once worn by Mirza Shahab-ud-Din Muhammad Khurram also know as Shah Jahan, son of Jahangir and the fifth Mughal emperor who ruled from 1592-1666.

As per the Instagram account, Shah Jahan ibn (son of) Jahangir Shah, proudly proclaim the pair of inscribed spinels highlighting this sarpech (turban ornament); last seen publicly at the Al Thani Collection before being divested at auction in 2019. The sleek sarpech features two highlighted inscribed spinels read – ’12 / Shah Jahan ibn Jahangir Shah / 1049’. The date in the Islamic calendar corresponding to a 17th century date (1639-40). These two separate spinels, possibly dynastic jewels were added onto one piece in the 19th century to create this sarpech.
