Nita Ambani’s Paraíba Tourmaline Necklace at Mumbai Premiere Drives Social-Media Valuation Buzz

An Instagram breakdown by jewellery influencer Julia Chafe propelled unverified valuations into wider coverage.

Overview

  • At the Sept. 19 Mumbai premiere of The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Nita Ambani’s diamond and Paraíba tourmaline necklace drew broad attention online and in fashion coverage.
  • Vogue India described the piece as a Glenn Spiro floral creation featuring heart-shaped diamonds with Paraíba tourmalines mounted in sculptural turquoise-toned titanium.
  • Julia Chafe said the necklace and a matching heart-shaped diamond ring were borrowed from Isha Ambani, a claim repeated by outlets without independent verification.
  • Chafe disputed a reported $500,000 valuation and suggested the true worth could be in the millions, with publishers noting these figures originated on social media and remain unverified.
  • Ambani paired the jewels with a jade green lamé sari by Manish Malhotra and a Chantilly lace blouse embellished with Swarovski crystals, a look many framed as quiet luxury.
