The Ambani prewedding party has taken the world by storm with its extravagant display of rare jewels and opulent celebrations. The event, leading up to the highly anticipated wedding in Mumbai, has left industry experts and onlookers in awe of the sheer size and craftsmanship of the jewelry on display.
Stellene Volandes, the editor in chief of Town & Country, described the scene as “almost unfathomable,” with ropes of rare natural pearls, diamond-studded necklaces, and emerald headpieces stealing the spotlight. Nico Landrigan, president of the Verdura jewelry house, noted the scarcity and grandeur of the jewels, emphasizing the unique jewelry culture of India.
The lavish celebrations didn’t stop there, as the Ambanis hosted a luxurious cruise from Italy to France for 800 invited guests, showcasing their old-style Hollywood glamor. The comparison to the robber barons of the Industrial Age was not lost on Daniela Mascetti, former chairwoman of Sotheby’s jewelry division, who highlighted the Ambanis’ desire to display their wealth in a grandiose manner.
Despite the focus on size and extravagance, the craftsmanship and artistry of the Ambani jewels were not overlooked. Designed by Viren Bhagat, a renowned high jeweler known for his refined work, the pieces showcased at the prewedding party were a testament to both luxury and skill.
As the world eagerly awaits the upcoming wedding festivities, one thing is certain – the Ambanis have set a new standard for displaying wealth and luxury in the modern era.
