INSTAGRAM: @tanvichemburkar @anaitashroffadajania

A billionaire heiress, businesswoman, philanthropist, and fashion enthusiast — Isha Ambani is a kaleidoscope, revealing a new vibrant pattern with every move she makes. Beyond her influence and lineage as the daughter of Asia’s most influential family, Isha is a tastemaker in her own right. She’s a modern fashion icon with a deep-rooted ethos: spotlighting Indian textiles and culture all over the world. But her expression goes far beyond impeccable couture. Her natural diamond jewellery has carved a signature identity on the global stage, with looks that are as boardroom-sharp as they are bridal-couture grand. And Isha wears that balance effortlessly, commanding attention while exuding grace.

Isha owns every space she enters: across family occasions, red carpet moments, and couture launches. Her real diamonds, most of it drawn from her personal collection or borrowed from her mother’s treasured archive, form a narrative of heritage, identity, and modern elegance. 

Here’s a closer look at her iconic moments in real diamonds.

Real diamonds are shared expressions of identity and legacy for Isha. The style icon and her mother, Nita Ambani, don’t just love diamonds; they both share them. Nita has often passed down pieces from her personal collection to Isha, and borrows standout jewels from her daughter’s treasure trove. It’s a dynamic that mirrors a glint of mutual admiration for real diamonds passed down through generations.

That bond was on full display at the Met Gala 2025, where Isha chose to wear a double-tiered natural diamond necklace and cocktail rings from her mother’s collection. The reimagined Toussaint necklace, which was made with over 95 carats of diamonds, was a nod to the iconic jewel featured in the Ocean’s 8 movie. Inspired by Cartier’s legendary design, it made headlines for enhancing her soft-toned custom ensemble. The diamonds were unmistakably the hero of the look for their grandeur and the heirloom value they carried.

Radiant on the Red Carpet

When Isha steps onto the red carpet, internationally or back home, her natural diamond jewellery becomes a statement blend of high fashion and individual style. Whether it’s a couture sari-gown or a sharp evening silhouette, she relies not on fleeting trends but on an inherent understanding of real diamonds’ true value in elevating a look. Her signature identity entails diamond pieces that are personally curated and often custom-crafted, making them the hero and a tool to transform the ordinary into iconic.At the Met Gala 2023, for instance, she paired her one-shoulder custom concept sari with carefully chosen Lorraine Schwartz diamond pieces — a layered choker, tiered necklace, and delicate drop earrings that added just the right amount of drama.

The Ambani scion’s diamond vocabulary doesn’t stop at traditional jewellery — it extends into the accessories she carries and curates, merging pieces with couture in unexpected ways. Her approach includes incorporating diamonds as nuanced accents. From diamond brooches pinned with precision to subtly sparkling hairpieces or antique solitaire belts, she’s known to reimagine how and where diamonds belong. She proves real diamonds don’t always need centre stage but a thoughtful placement.

She made a strong case for accessories as not finishing touches but standout features at the launch of Augustinus Bader in India. The sleek black ensemble was elevated by a Hermès Crocodile Mini Kelly bag, giving exclusivity a personal twist: custom charms designed by Bag Bijoux’s Ashna Mehta, spelling out the names of her twins — Aadiya in rare pink diamonds and Krishna in green diamonds — draped delicately across the handle and finished with delicate diamond tassels.

Power Play from Ballroom to Boardroom

The diamonds take the lead for Isha, no matter the dress code. Her more contemporary looks often blend sharp silhouettes with unapologetically grand jewellery, reflecting the multitude of roles she embodies as a business leader and style figure. One unforgettable example? A sharp, monochrome corseted look paired with 50-carat natural diamond solitaire studs. The diamonds made headlines just for their size and for the way they were effortlessly styled. No necklace, no fuss — just a structured outfit elevated by bold diamond solitaires.

Couture Meets Culture

Isha Ambani’s jewellery repertoire shines at grand weddings and traditional events. Often featuring emeralds alongside real diamonds, her choices effortlessly balance heritage with contemporary aesthetics. Regal pieces like multi-layered rani haars, intricate chokers, and statement earrings are often paired with maang tikkas and bangles. Exquisite polki, jadau, and diamond-studded creations prove her love for vintage and heirloom jewellery.

A quintessential example of this was the Garden of Love necklace, a Kantilal Chhotalal masterpiece she wore at Anant Ambani’s wedding. Taking over 4,000 artisan hours, it featured rare pink, blue, green, and orange diamonds curated over the years by her mother, Nita Ambani, and arranged to resemble a flourishing garden. A mesmerising heart-shaped blue diamond from Isha’s personal collection formed the centrepiece, encircled by perfectly portrait-cut petal diamonds. The intricate design was symbolic of growth and connection, and a reflection of Isha’s style philosophy. The look extended to coordinating diamond-flower earrings and a maang tikka, clustered with more gems from her collected vault, making the entire ensemble an ode to inheritance and unparalleled artistry.

Whether she’s stepping out in couture or keeping things intimate, her natural diamonds form a powerful language. Each piece, borrowed from her mother or created for her personal collection, reflects her deep understanding of jewellery as both adornment and inheritance.
