Sabyasachi Mukherjee Shares Sabyasachi Jewellery Story in Vogue Arabia March 2022
/
Anne of Carversville has been a fan of Sabyasachi Mukherjee since 2017, watching India’s most prominent luxury design house bring the rich heritage of India to a global audience.
As Vogue Arabia notes in this new fashion story, beautifully-crafted jewelry is an integral part of the House of Sabyasachi’s unequivocally Indian brand heritage. As much as any element in Sabyasachi DNA, jewelry is integral to the brand’s main focus on authenticity and traditional Indian craftsmanship at the highest level.
In this fashion story for Vogue Arabia, model Ylenia Minniti is styled by Ahmed Rashwan in images by Mannbutte [ IG ].
Today Sabyasachi Mukherjee has a growing exponentially following in much of India, the Middle East and parts of the western world with its designs and jewelry. Sabyasachi has installed shops at Bergdorf in 2020 and 2021 and also collaborated with H&M on a special collection.
In recent years [See Vogue India article after images] Sabyasachi Mukherjee is devoted to the restoration of lost craftsmanship across India.
Sensing a loss of direction for the art of creating Indian jewelry, Sabyasachi is reviving age-old crafts and techniques of jewelry making by modernizing and innovating, while creating an ode to the craft. Mukherjee has always been an innovator. “In my late teens I started a tiny side hustle where I made costume jewelry with beads and glass and feathers and stone,” he says.
Of equal importance is another Indian heritage piece that Sabyasachi holds dear to his heart. By launching Save the Sari [Saree] in 2009, Sabyasachi promotes a model of economic sustainability for local craftspeople and artisan communities in the designer’s hometown of Kolkata and beyond in India.

Will One De Beers Cullinan Blue Diamond Price Exceed Five Monets? AOC Jewelry News
The De Beers Cullinan Blue
On April 27, The De Beers Cullinan Blue diamond will be auctioned by Sotheby’s Hong Kong. This extraordinary 15.10 carat step-cut blue diamond has a preauction estimate of $48 million and could generate a significantly higher price, leaving five Monet paintings in the dust in the value of acquisitions in the art world.
In April 2021 an exceptional rough stone weighing 39.34 carats was discovered at South Africa’s Petra Diamonds Cullinan mine. This phenomenal blue diamond was sold in July 2021 for $40.1 million to the De Beers and Diacore partnership, achieving a price of $1,021,357 per carat.
Cullinan is known as the world’s most important source of blue diamonds, as well as being the birthplace of the 3,106-carat Cullinan diamond, which was cut to form the 530-carat Great Star of Africa.
The operation also yielded the 317-carat Second Star of Africa. They are the two largest diamonds in the British Crown Jewels. De Beers divested itself of the mine in 2007, part of a larger business strategy to turn to the marketing and selling of diamonds, while turning over mining to more local ownership.
It’s noteworthy that $40 million of the $48 million estimate did go to the Petra mining operation. There is significant loss in ‘waste’ created in cutting the De Beers Cullinan Blue. Presumably there is some value in the ‘waste’ but common sense suggests that the perfect blue diamond will sell at a price higher than $48 million, the highest estimate ever for a blue diamond.
