Incredible facts
Sari is a traditional very beautiful outfit for Indian women, which sometimes impresses with its unusual, bright colors, and chic jewelry. Recently, The Chennai Silks presented an unusual sari that boasts not only an original design, but also… several kilograms of precious stones! This miracle outfit was estimated at $100,000.
The sari is decorated with gold, silver, platinum, rubies, diamonds, emeralds, yellow and blue sapphires, cat's eye, topaz, pearls and corals. About 30 craftsmen, jewelers and designers of the company worked on the creation of this masterpiece, and it took them about 7 months to complete the outfit.
This outfit is recognized as the most expensive sari in the world and immediately appeared on the pages of the famous Guinness Book of Records. Sari depicts famous paintings by Indian artist Raya Rabvi Varma. The central theme of the outfit is the painting “Women Musicians”, while the rest of the smaller images represent other works by the artist. Varma, as well as for this sari, uses jewels to create her paintings.
It would seem that anyone can put on such a masterpiece and walk through the streets in it? Not only does this sari cost as much as most people in India have not earned in a thousand years, this outfit is also quite weighty. Heavy stones, plus several layers of dense material on which they hold, weigh 6 kilograms. All the details were attached to the sari by hand, so the process of creating the masterpiece took so long.
Despite all the shortcomings of this outfit, it looks very chic, and the creators of the creation are not going to send it to any museum at all. They expect to find a buyer who will be willing to part with $100,000 in exchange for such a luxurious outfit. Saris are advertised by famous Indian actresses.
