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.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
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.
Yes…I know. This is the set purchased by Shumaila Rana with that stolen credit card :)
