On our recent trip to Boston, we saw this Pakistani jewellery set on display in a Museum there. Do you want to take a guess on how did this set reach Boston from Pakistan?


Hint: Think Presidential! By the way this jewellery set consists of gold, pearls and other gemstones.

I’ll share the name of the museum, and other details about this in a few of days.

    I’m going to guess that these are the jewels given by President Ayub Khan to Jackie Kennedy on her visit to Pakistan? I could be wrong but they look similar to the jewels I have a vague recollection of seeing at the Presidential Library of President John F. Kennedy in Boston, MA.

    I think the same as ‘Kavi’; or may be some similar event took these jewels to Boston.

    @ Rabi
    LoL. What a ‘logical’ approach!

    @Think presidential.. Zardari is wot comes to mind. Maybe this set belonged to BB. =)

    BTW I find this set quite hideous. Dunno y.. the colorful gemstones nd everything.. its more like Zarda Pallao than anything else. Jus my opinion nd choice. No offense for all those who appreciate the “zarda art”. =)

    I think this jewellery set was gifted to Jackie Kennedy during her visit to Pakistan in early 60s by then President Ayub Khan.

    I know, this is the set Zardari gave to Sarah Palin when he proposed to her ! Obviously she refused and placed it in Museum.
