You have seen the look a hundred times — at a wedding, in a Bollywood film scene, on Instagram reels from Indian festive shoots. Heavy kundan sets, polki chokers, jhumkas that catch the light. In Pakistan, more and more women search for exactly that look, and the phrase they type is almost always the same: Sabyasachi inspired jewellery.
This guide explains what Indian brand inspired jewellery is, how to tell a designer piece from a cheap copy, and where to buy it in Pakistan — at Pakistani prices, with COD.

What “Indian brand inspired jewellery” actually means
Indian inspired jewellery is not one design — it is a whole tradition, from the royal courts of India: Rajasthan’s kundan workshops, Jaipur’s polki setters, the meenakari enamel artists. An Indian brand inspired jewellery piece borrows that craft language — foil-set stones, uncut polki glow, coloured enamel — and makes it wearable for a Pakistani wedding or dinner.
The Sabyasachi look, explained simply
When Pakistani women search for “Sabyasachi wala set” or “Sabyasachi inspired jewellery Pakistan”, they are not really searching for a brand name. They are searching for a feeling: the regal, layered festive look India’s most famous designer made iconic. A woman in a deep red outfit, a kundan ranihaar, a matching choker, heavy jhumkas. That is the look — and Dastaan’s designs are Indian inspired in exactly that sense: the same crafts, the same grandeur, made for Pakistani women at Pakistani prices.
Kundan, polki and meenakari — the three crafts behind the look
- Kundan: glass stones set in gold foil, with a warm glow. The mehndi and mayun favourite.
- Polki: uncut stones with an antique, regal finish. The barat choice.
- Meenakari: coloured enamel over metal — the greens, reds and blues of heritage and Jaipur-inspired sets.
A genuine Indian-inspired piece names its craft. If a listing only says “golden” or “premium alloy”, treat it as a warning sign.
Why Pakistani women are choosing the Indian-inspired look in 2026
The biggest reason is simple arithmetic. Gold crossed Rs 563,862 per tola in March 2026 — a record high — and a full gold set now costs Rs 1,200,000 to Rs 2,000,000. So women kept the look and changed the material.
That is why searches like “Indian inspired jewellery Pakistan”, “Sabyasachi inspired Kundan set” and “Kundan set price Pakistan” have surged. Women want the festive set, the Indian jhumka earrings and the Bollywood style jewellery they see on screen — at a price that leaves room for the wedding.
Second reason: the look fits Pakistani weddings perfectly — kundan for mehndi, polki for barat, zircon for walima.
How to spot a real designer piece (and avoid a cheap copy)
The market is full of copies, and the difference is visible in sixty seconds — if you know where to look.
The 60-second quality check
- Stone setting — stones sit even and tight. Press lightly and nothing should shift.
- Finish — plating should be even, with no dark patches at the edges or back.
- Weight — a good pair stays under roughly 15g per earring — heavy is not premium, just tiring.
- Closures — butterfly backs should grip firmly, hooks should be smooth with no sharp ends.
- Back finish — a quality piece finishes the back almost as carefully as the front — a rough back is the clearest sign of a rushed copy.
Price signals — what a good set should cost
A real designer set is never the cheapest listing. As a rough guide: daily-wear studs Rs 2,500–4,000, statement dangles and kundan work Rs 4,000–7,000, intricate festive pieces above Rs 7,000. If a “Sabyasachi inspired” full festive set is listed at an impossible price, it usually is — stones loosen, plating fades within weeks. Judge by cost-per-wear: a Rs 6,000 pair worn forty times costs Rs 150 per wear.
Picking the right piece for your occasion
- Mehndi / Mayun — kundan in warm tones, colourful meenakari, jhumkas. This is where colour belongs.
- Barat — polki or a statement kundan set — a ranihaar or layered choker, heavy chand balis.
- Walima / Reception — zircon drops, elegant dangles, pearl touches. Sparkle over colour.
- Nikkah — a delicate pendant set or a light necklace set — understated and elegant.
- Eid and festive dinners — one hero piece. If the earrings are heavy, skip the necklace.
- Daily wear — studs or small hoops. Comfort and secure closures first.
A few Dastaan examples
Dastaan’s range shows the look in practice. A karay like the Shahi Kangan carries the Indian-brand-inspired style on the wrist; dangle earrings like Nawabi bring the regal, court-inspired feel; red teardrop earrings like Gohar keep it wearable for dinners; the kundan drop of Kohinoor Drops suits mehndi and festive evenings; and the panther-inspired Jungle Jewel set is the statement option — the one people find when they search for a “panther set”, “tiger necklace” or “panther wala set”.
Where to buy Indian-inspired jewellery in Pakistan
You have two real options: the bazaars, or a trusted online designer store.
The bazaars — Anarkali and Liberty Market in Lahore, Sarafa Bazaar in Karachi — are the traditional home of kundan craft. Wonderful for browsing, but prices and quality vary by shop.
Online designer stores solve those problems: fixed prices, zoomable photos, and cash on delivery. That is how Dastaan sells — premium Indian-inspired designer jewellery, shipped across Pakistan with COD. Women in Lahore search “Kundan jewellery Lahore price”, in Karachi “artificial jewellery Karachi” and COD, in Islamabad “designer jewellery Islamabad” — all can order the same piece at the same price and pay at their door.
When buying online, check three things: real product photos, a clear return policy, and COD. If a store hides prices or refuses COD, walk away.
Buying it on sale: 11.11 and Blessed Friday
November is the smartest month to buy Indian-inspired jewellery in Pakistan. Dastaan’s 11.11 sale offers up to 50% off selected pieces, 10% off new arrivals, and an extra 5% off on bank transfer — running to 30 November 2026. It also covers Blessed Friday (27 November 2026): one sale, two names, same discounts.
Use it smartly: wishlist your statement set first — the big kundan or polki piece is where 50% off saves you the most — then add everyday pieces. The extra 5% on bank transfer stacks on top of the sale price, so bank transfer saves you more on every order.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sabyasachi inspired jewellery the same as Sabyasachi jewellery?
No. Sabyasachi is an Indian luxury designer brand; Sabyasachi inspired jewellery means designs inspired by that regal festive look — the same kundan, polki and layered-set language — made by others at far lower prices. Dastaan’s pieces are Indian brand inspired: Indian craft, Pakistani brand, Pakistani price.
What is the difference between kundan and polki?
Kundan uses foil-set glass stones with a warm glow — best for mehndi and mayun. Polki uses uncut stones for an antique, royal finish — best for barat.
Can I wear Indian-inspired jewellery for a Pakistani wedding?
Yes — it is made for it: kundan for mehndi, polki for barat, zircon for walima, a simple set for nikkah.
How do I know if an Indian-inspired set is good quality?
Check five things: even setting, clean plating, sensible weight, firm closures, finished back. A good set also names its craft — kundan, polki or meenakari — not vague words like “golden finish”.
Do you offer Cash on Delivery?
Yes — Dastaan Jewellery offers COD across Pakistan, with prices in Rs, plus an extra 5% off on bank transfer. Shop Indian-inspired designer jewellery online.
