Shweana Poy Raiturcar Weds Vikram Salgaocar in ₹1 Crore Metallic Kasab Lehenga
A no-fabric bridal ensemble by JADE by MK revives rare Mughal-era craftsmanship in a luminous display of jewellery-like couture.
Mukesh Ambani’s nephew, Vikram Salgaocar, recently got married to luxury brand founder Shweana Poy Raiturcar. Jewellery designer Shweana Poy Raiturcar made a historic bridal statement during her wedding, drawing widespread attention for a lehenga unlike any other. Designed by Monica Shah of JADE by MK, the ensemble was not created from conventional fabric but constructed entirely from metallic threads using the rare Mughal-era Kasab technique.
Crafted in 1,500+ hours and rooted in the 40-year legacy of Chanakya International, the lehenga dissolved the very idea of textile. Rose gold, gold and antique gold metallic strands were intricately handwoven to form a structured, luminous jaal that moved like molten metal yet held its sculptural form like armour.
Featuring hand-cut peacock motifs, intricate interlacing, and architectural detailing, the estimated ₹1 crore creation blurred the line between couture and high jewellery. Rather than embellishment layered onto fabric, this was jewellery translated into silhouette — a powerful bridal moment that fused heritage craftsmanship with contemporary luxury.
