Two sets of bangles, part of a lehenga costume worn by Nina Davuluri in the Miss America 2014 pageant. Davuluri, the first Miss America titleholder of Indian descent, performed a Bollywood-style dance in the costume for the talent competition in that year's pageant. The two sets of bangles number 9 in each set, to be worn on left and right arms. Each set includes three each of three different bangle designs, one with larger turquoise and smaller clear gemstones set on a broad gold band, one an undecorated narrow red metal band, and one with turquoise and gold gemstones set in a narrow gold band.
