When it comes to understated luxury, Saif Ali Khan knows exactly how to make a statement without saying a word. The actor’s recent appearance at a Tiffany & Co. event in Mumbai was a masterclass in understated luxury, where he turned heads not with loud branding or over-the-top styling, but with a single, exquisitely chosen piece of jewellery, the iconic Tiffany & Co. ‘Bird on a Rock’ brooch, valued at an estimated Rs. 45 lakh (approximately $47,000 or PKR 1.3 crore).
The actor, known for his polished taste in fashion and accessories, visited the Tiffany & Co. boutique with his wife Kareena Kapoor ahead of Valentine’s Day, sporting the ornate brooch pinned to his black suit. The accessory immediately became the talking point of his entire ensemble.
Designed by legendary jewellery artist Jean Schlumberger, the ‘Bird on a Rock’ is more than an accessory; it is a piece of design history. Crafted in yellow gold and platinum, the brooch features a diamond-studded bird perched delicately atop a bold citrine gemstone, adorned with a pink sapphire.
The bird-designed brooch is set with 71 round diamonds and features a ruby fashioned to resemble an eye, giving the piece a luxurious and detailed finish.
Small in size yet immense in value and legacy, the brooch perfectly embodied Saif’s long-standing reputation for blending aristocratic heritage with modern refinement.
While Kareena dazzled in pieces from Tiffany HardWear, including rose gold necklaces and earrings with pavé diamonds, Saif’s choice of this iconic vintage-inspired piece demonstrated his appreciation for timeless craftsmanship over fleeting trends.
The appearance proves once again that true luxury isn’t about how much you wear, it’s about choosing pieces with history, artistry, and unparalleled craftsmanship.
