According to Kansara, the total cost of the set will be more than Rs 40 lakh wherein the gold, diamonds and gems stones will be sourced from Mumbai.

We will deliver the set within two months as it is very lengthy and will require ample hand work. However, along with dress necklace, bangles and some other jewellery order may come to us," he added.
