6 Lavish Looks from the Ambani Wedding
Feast your eyes on the elaborate jewels worn during the wedding celebration of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.

The couple, both 29-years-old, work for their parents’ businesses. Ambani oversees renewable and green energy expansion at Reliance Industries, while Merchant is the marketing director at Encore Healthcare.
As the Ambani family founded Reliance Industries, India’s largest private corporation, no expenses were spared for the couple’s wedding.
The couple hosted a four-day wedding celebration at the Jio World Convention Center in Mumbai, India, with a red-carpet-style arrival event, a traditional Hindu ceremony, and a grand reception.
Inside, the venue was decorated as a miniature version of the holy Indian city of Varanas.
While all of the wedding guests looked amazing, these are some of the most lavish jewels seen during the Ambani’s celebrations.
Radhika Merchant
For her wedding, she adorned herself in gold jewelry with diamonds and emeralds, as emeralds are often worn at Indian weddings, known as good omens that symbolize a new chapter.
Her choker is an antique given to her by her mother, Nisha Merchant, who also wore the piece on her wedding day.
Along with the choker, Merchant wore a necklace designed by Nisha Mehta of Misha M, a jeweler in Mumbai.
The necklace has five long strands of uncut diamonds connecting at an emerald-cut Zambian emerald pendant. Hanging from that is a second emerald pendant surrounded by diamonds with tumble emerald drops.
She also wore matching earrings, hand pieces, bracelets, an arm band, and a maang tikka (a style of jewelry that lays along the hairline and sits on the forehead).
Anant Ambani
Walking into the venue, Ambani displayed a large brooch designed by Heeramaneck & Son.
The brooch features a 720-carat Zambian emerald with a Cartier panther crouched atop the gemstone.
He paired it with a pearl and emerald necklace, a diamond brooch, and diamond and emerald buttons on his sherwani (a traditional garment worn by men during South Asian weddings and other special occasions).
Isha Ambani
She wore a NavRatna necklace designed by Viren Bhagat.
Complete with nine different types of gemstones, each one is meant to represent a planet, protecting the wearer from negative forces and promoting positive qualities.
The necklace’s gemstones took about three years to collect.
The gemstones are: red coral for Mars, emerald for Mercury, pearl for the Moon, blue sapphire for Saturn, ruby for the Sun, yellow sapphire for Jupiter, diamond for Venus, orange hessonite garnet for Rahu, and chrysoberyl cats eye for Ketu.
Ambani styled the necklace with mismatched earrings, diamond bangles, a diamond kamarbandh (a style of jewelry worn around the waist), and a ring.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas
As a brand ambassador for Bulgari, Chopra Jonas wore a matching set by the brand.
Her choker featured diamonds and sapphires with a ruby pendant and matching floral drop earrings.
Jonas didn’t forget his jewels either, wearing a collection of brooches on his sherwani.
At the center was a brooch displaying two flowers, with three dragonfly brooches flying around it.
Kim Kardashian
For Saturday’s celebration, she matched her white lehenga (a traditional three-piece outfit worn by women during traditional South Asian weddings and other special occasions) with jewels from Lorraine Schwartz.
Her necklace featured pearls and 170 carats of diamonds, while her earrings had pearls and 62 carats worth of diamond briolettes.
Kardashian’s maang tikka headpiece matched the rest of her jewelry with an 8-carat pear-shaped diamond drop.
She also wore a nath (a traditional Inidan nose ring) that connected to her earring. From the piece, 70-carats of cushion old-cut diamonds dangled.
Alia Bhatt
Her choker necklace, earrings, and maang tikka headpiece were all encrusted in diamonds and emeralds with a pink floral motif.
She styled the set with additional gold bangles and a ring.
