Ever since I was a kid, raiding my mother’s closet made up for my leisure pursuit. From her chunky jewellery to her dupattas being draped as a saree, I cherished being dripped into her belongings. Wearing things that outsized me was not on my list, but trying to look as pretty as her certainly was. Cut to the present, my mother constantly has an eye on my go-to nude lipstick and my favourite pair of baggy jeans! Being a young adult has made me realise that life comes to a full circle, with the essence of ‘sharing’ lying right at the centre of a mother-daughter relationship. And, Asia’s richest family certainly concurs.
Isha Ambani, the Reliance heiress has been spotted many times bejewelled in her mother’s accessories. The recent pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant made a strong case for this study along with other several occasions. From Isha’s uncut diamond necklace for her Mehendi to her sleek emerald bracelet at the Anant-Radhika Sangeet, she doesn’t shy away from putting her trust in her mother’s exquisite jewellery collection. Here are 5 jewellery pieces that are shared between Isha and Nita Ambani.
Double-Heart Diamond Earrings
This Ambani duo fancies chunky diamonds (because they are a girl’s best friends!) and leaves no stone unturned to showcase their blingy collection during social affairs. Isha Ambani adorned her mother’s timeless double-heart diamond earrings for the Lokmat Maharashtrian of the Year Awards 2024 in February. This classic pair of contemporary diamond earrings was earlier worn by Nita Ambani at Ira Khan and Nupur Shikhare’s wedding reception in January 2024.
Emerald Diamond Set (Necklace and Earrings)
The crème de la crème of emerald jewelleries is expected to be found in the Ambani closet. Isha was seen wearing her mother’s emerald diamond set comprising of a resplendent layered necklace with a tear-drop emerald (stealing the spotlight) along with chunky chandbalis studded with a myriad of diamonds and emeralds, complementing the tear-drop pattern of the neck piece. Isha Ambani wore the set during Anant-Radhika’s ‘Hastakshar’ ceremony in March 2024. Given the artisanal qualities of the piece, Nita Ambani was previously seen wearing it during Akash Ambani’s wedding in March 2019.
Uncut Diamond Necklace
The craftsmanship on this uncut multistrand diamond necklace is peerless. This finely detailed piece was first seen on Isha Ambani during her pre-wedding festivities in December 2018. In February 2022 during Anmol Ambani and Khrisha Shah’s wedding, Mrs. Ambani was seen flaunting her bejewelled neck with the same piece. Such uncut diamond necklaces are perhaps a bit recherché and captivate the attention of jewellery connoisseurs.
Kundan and Polki Jhumkas
The Ambanis often pay homage to the Indian artisanship through their jewellery and sartorial choices and these Kundan and Polki jhumkas are a testament to it. Isha Ambani wore these ornate and clustered jhumkas for her brother, Anant Ambani’s ‘Lagan Lakhvanu’ ceremony in February 2024. The jhumkas have an attached ear chain on it (Ambani’s personal favourite) along with Kundans on the border with inlaid Polki diamonds making the accessory subtly glitzy. The earrings were also seen on Isha’s mother, during the inauguration of NMACC (Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre) in March 2023.
Emerald Bracelet
Ambanis have never shied away from waving their bejewelled hand and these emeralds on their wrists are proof! Isha Ambani was spotted with a structured top-of-the-line emerald bracelet on the Anant-Radhika Sangeet night. This exemplary piece of accessory was sleek, pristine and studded with diamonds on the borders. The bracelet was also seen on Mrs Ambani during the Gala night of the same festivities.
