Dripping in diamonds, those are the words that come to mind when glimpsing the elegant Indian businesswoman Isha Ambani, the only daughter of Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest man, worth an estimated $110 billion. As the Managing Director of Reliance Retail, valued at $100 billion, she stunned onlookers with her superlative style, complete with luxurious baubles and bespoke charm. Her accessory choice for a recent event in Mumbai was a dainty black Hermès Mini Kelly in crocodile leather. This would already be buzzworthy on its own, but this is no ordinary heiress.
Ambani, a Yale graduate, is a powerful blend of intellect and style. The mother of twins added a personal touch to her eye-catching handbag by customizing it with her children’s names, Aadiya and Krishna, born in November 2022. The bag was adorned with nine rows of ascending round-cut diamonds that culminated in larger, drop-shaped diamonds. The 32-year-old’s Hermès Mini Kelly is indeed a dazzling combination of crocodile leather and diamonds, all enhanced by the signature Ambani flair.
And her flair was evident not only in the estimated $450,000 Hermès Mini Kelly but also in the impressive ring she wore. Moving beyond the traditional “heavy is the head that wears the crown,” it’s fitting to say, “heavy is the hand that wears the ring!” Isha sported a three-finger ring featuring imposing solitaires, each likely over 10 carats. With diamonds of that size, the ring could be worth between $6 million and $10 million, as the Ambanis would settle for nothing less than flawless quality.
Her personalized Hermès handbag was a fitting match for her jewelry’s grandeur. Hermès, renowned for its unmatched luxury craftsmanship, offers exclusive customization services for its loyal clients, an elite category the Ambanis certainly belong to. The Ambani family’s collection includes rare, mouth-watering pieces like Nita Ambani’s $300,000 Hermès Himalaya Birkin bag, adorned with 145 diamonds and white gold, and Radhika Merchant’s Sterling Silver Kellymorphose Sac Bijou, worth nearly $120,000.
