Here are some things that likely contribute to the very high price tag:
- Colourful gemstones: Pieces with multiple coloured gems (especially ones like rubellite, sapphire, etc.) are harder to source and match for colour, clarity, size, etc. Those coordination costs add up.
- Diamonds: The inclusion of diamonds (cut, color, clarity) adds a lot of intrinsic value.
- Designer / Brand: Sabyasachi is a luxury house. Even beyond the raw materials, the craftsmanship, design, brand prestige, and exclusivity factor into pricing heavily.
- One-off / Red Carpet exposure: Often pieces made for celebrities or red carpet events have extra premium owing to their exclusivity, publicity, custom work, etc.
- Complexity: Mixing many different types of gemstones in one piece—matching settings, ensuring durability, achieving aesthetic balance—makes the design and fabrication more labour-intensive.

-
Maximalist but nuanced: Bold designs, rich colour palettes, layering, texture, ornate details. But not without balance — often blending heavy ornamentation with subtle heritage motifs.
-
Heritage + Indian crafts: Use of old techniques and crafts from India (e.g. jadau, meenakari, hand engraving, filigree, hand stringing). These techniques are generally labour-intensive and require specialized artisans. Moneycontrol+1
-
Mixed gemstones: Frequent use of coloured gemstones (rubellite, sapphires, tourmalines, etc.), sometimes rare or unusual cuts / colours. Also combined with diamonds (old mine cut, brilliant cut, etc.).
-
Thematic and cultural references: Many pieces reference Indian history, motifs (flora, fauna, colonial influences, Mughal, North Calcutta, etc.), sometimes combined with Western geometric influences (Byzantine, Art Deco). in.fashionnetwork.com+2jewellerydesignshub.com+2
