Drooling over the Jodha Akbar jewelry? There’s good news! Tanishq, the original name behind the original pieces, sells the pieces to you. Visit their website for more details.

Guessing from the notion that they are concealing the prices it is safe to assume that the jewelry is very costly! So if you’re looking for a more affordable option rest assured because there’s Carma World. They have exact Jodha Akbar replicas plus other Mughal inspired jewelry, polki, and kundan designs. Unlike Tanishq, however, their jewlery is made purely out of metal. So you miss out on a lot of quality but at least you get the look. The following necklace, made oh so famous by the movie, is perfect for any bride.

So, you have the jewelry. As for the clothes, you can order them from Neeta Lulla, the actual designer. However, once again a price is not given and you have to email them to find out.
