Btw vaddanam is worn only by women but our Indian maharajas & Mughals wore chokers," he wrote. He further added, “"Chokers are only for women", is a very western construct. Its 2025 & high time we break free from such limiting beliefs and fully embrace our Indian style jewellery." He continued, “Infact one of the world’s most valuable jewellery the “Khiraj-i-Alam" or Timur Ruby was a choker. It is 352 carat and was worn by Akbar the Great, Shah Jahan and later worn by Maharaja Sher Singh. Later the East India Company stole it & presented it as a gift to Queen Victoria in 1851."
