If Ambani is a name that’s become synonymous with affluence and grandeur, then Nita Ambani, the Reliance Industries matriarch, is certainly becoming synonymous with unmatched style. The key word here is unmatched. After all, how many people can boast owning a ring worth $6.5 million? Nita, wife of Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, worth $116 billion, rocked an insane historical diamond at her son’s widely publicized pre-wedding festivities. Her ring, previously worn at the launch of NMACC, her cultural center, has been identified as the ‘Mirror of Paradise’ by jewelry influencer Julia Chafe.
The incredible 52.58-carat, internally flawless, D-color diamond ring was sold at a Christie’s auction in 2019 as part of the Maharaja and Mughals auction. The diamond is believed to have originally been mined in the Golconda region of India. The founder of NMACC, Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Center, teamed the jaw-dropping diamond ring with an emerald necklace that was three times the size of the ring and absolutely stole the show from the stunning $6.5 million ring that would have otherwise grabbed eyeballs.
The billionairess is known for her mesmerizing collection of watches and jewels. She once sported a diamond-studded $225,000 Patek Philippe during a cricket match and a $360,000 Jacob and Co watch studded with precious stones at her grandchildren’s birthday bash.
It is hardly surprising to witness her bring out the big guns (read: baubles) for something as special as her youngest child’s pre-wedding bashes packed with the biggest names and billionaires from around the globe. Her choice is stellar even when it comes to gifting her family members. It is said the 60-year-old gifted daughter-in-law Shloka Mehta the $55 million L’Incomparable.
The Mother of All Gifts!
When you are the wife of Asia’s richest man, your gifts speak volumes. In the case of Nita Ambani, it was a one-of-a-kind $55 million L’Incomparable for her daughter-in-law Shloka, who married her older son Akash Ambani. The outstanding masterpiece boasts no less than 200 carats of diamonds. However, its highlight is a canary yellow diamond as the centerpiece believed to weigh a whopping 407 carats. If someone knows how to mark an occasion, it is Mrs. Ambani. The iconic necklace gifted to the diamond heiress was certified by Guinness World Records as the most valuable on the planet at $55 million. It was created by Lebanese jeweler Mouawad.
