The Met Gala 2025 was not just another star-studded night, it was a moment where cultural identity, heritage, and self-expression collided with fashion in the most powerful ways. Two Indian icons - Shah Rukh Khan and Diljit Dosanjh - were at the heart of that moment. While most focused on their global presence, the real story was in the details: their jewellery.
This yearās theme, The Garden of Time, inspired deep symbolism, and both these celebrities used jewellery not just to accessorize but to make statements rooted in culture, masculinity, and personal history.
Shah Rukh Khan: Storytelling in Layers
Shah Rukh Khan stepped onto the Met Gala carpet for the first time, wearing a striking ensemble by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. What made it special was the cut or color and the subtle richness in his accessories. He wore:
- Layered talismanic chains
- A crystal-embellished āKā pendant
- A star-shaped diamond brooch
- Multiple stacked rings
- An 18K gold walking stick crowned with precious stones
These were not flashy distractionsāthey were carefully curated symbols of identity. The mix of vintage styling and modern symbolism positioned him as both timeless and progressive.

Diljit Dosanjh: Jewellery with History
Diljitās look stood out for one major reasonāit was a love letter to Punjab. His outfit, designed by Prabal Gurung, included:
- A jewelled turban with a feather
- A lion-engraved kirpan (sword)
- A multi-layered neckpiece inspired by the Patiala Necklace, one of the most iconic royal jewels of India
While the original necklace, created by Cartier for Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, was not available (Cartier declined due to preservation concerns), Diljitās custom piece was enough to recreate the grandeur and prestige of the original.

Ā Why This Matters: Jewellery as Identity, Not Decoration
There is a pattern here, not just about looking good. These accessories told stories:
- Of legacy
- Of personal beliefs
- Of regional pride
Jewellery is not just for aesthetics. When worn with intention, it becomes a form of non-verbal storytelling.
How This Applies to You
You do not need a couture outfit or a celebrity stylist to use jewellery in meaningful ways. A well-chosen piece can:
- Elevate a simple look
- Bring focus to your personality
- Reflect a deeper meaning-be it spiritual, emotional, or cultural
At Luxez, our 925-sterling silver jewellery collection is built around this idea. Every piece is designed to be more than just "nice-looking"-it is about authenticity.
