Brooch for a billionaire: Diamond weighing more than 50 carats

Billionaire heir Ananta Ambani, who will marry his fiancée Radhika Merchant in Mumbai, is the owner of a dazzling piece of jewelry that stood out from the rest during the pre-wedding celebrations. Ambani wore a custom-made lion brooch covered in precious stones, including one giant diamond weighing more than 50 carats.

Celebrity-favorite jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, who created the piece, shared several photos on Instagram, including photos of Ambani wearing the brooch and photos of the brooch being made.

“I am so excited for the upcoming wedding of this amazing couple Radhika and Anant,” Schwartz wrote. “I especially enjoyed working on the vibrant diamond Lion brooch for Anant. It was impressive and their love for animals at their incredible #vantara animal sanctuary was inspiring.”

“To truly appreciate this brooch, you need to see it in person because the body is made of vibrant yellow diamonds,” Schwartz said. “However, the mane is made of yellow diamonds in different shades to give it texture and volume. A white diamond weighing more than 50 carats hung from his mouth, and his eyes were made of emeralds. In addition, the lion stands on a platform of white asscher-cut diamond.”
