A dragonfly brooch that costs…!
On October 31, NMACC’s Instagram handle shared pictures of Nita Ambani from the event, along with details about her head-turning brooch. According to the caption, the Reliance Foundation chairperson is wearing the exquisite Soaring Spirit brooch, a statement creation by renowned jewellery artist Wallace Chan.
“Inspired by the dragonfly, a symbol of dreams, freedom and infinite possibilities, the piece embodies the beauty of transformation, wonder, and discovery,” the caption read. The vibrant brooch is decked with incredibly precious stones, including a 17.67-carat tsavorite garnet, demantoid garnet, yellow diamond, diamond, colored diamond, ruby, pink sapphire, and titanium. It took Wallace Chan 10 years to make and is estimated to cost between $1.5 and $1.8 million (approximately ₹12 crore and ₹15 crore).
Decoding Nita Ambani’s outfit
The beige ensemble features a blazer with elbow-length balloon sleeves, puffed shoulders, a notched lapel collar, a tailored silhouette, and front button closures. Nita paired the linen coat with matching pants that have a flared fit. She completed the ensemble by layering the blazer over a blush pink-coloured lace blouse.
Apart from the brooch, Nita Ambani accessorised the simple yet elegant ensemble with a statement ring set with a boulder-sized diamond centre stone, a luxurious leather strap watch, and diamond earrings.
With her tresses left loose in a side parting and styled with soft waves, she chose kohl-lined eyes, feathered brows, black eyeliner, smudged brown eyeshadow, rouge-dusted cheeks, a glossy pink lip shade, a beaming highlighter, and mascara-coated lashes for her glam.
