It’s unanimously acknowledged that after a roaring Ambani wedding, comes an even more epic reception. Needless to say, Bollywood icons showed up looking like a million bucks to the festivities which actually may have cost a millions bucks. Names like Jahnvi Kapoor, Mira Rajput, Karisma Kapoor, and many more opted to deck themselves in ornate and heavily embellished jewels. Minimalism may be on its way out, because if the Ambani reception was a clue, elaborate statement jewellery is set to have its biggest year.
Jahnvi Kapoor
Jahnvi Kapor never lets up a chance to go all out in ethnic wear. The young star chose a fabulous pair of tiered jhumkas, featuring chandbalis designed by Shriram Hariram Jewellers, New Delhi and a Rajasthani kada by Anmol (Mumbai).
Karisma Kapoor
Karisma kept her boho streak alive, and opted for an exquisite pair of golden chandbalis from Ghanasingh Be True (Mumbai) the label which is known for designing the finest couture jewellery. We love how the label’s fresh take on the traditional spherical balis, and how it branches down like a chandelier.
Kriti Sanon
Kriti Sanon chose to wear some fantastic filigree metal and diamond balis from the popular Minawala Jewellers (Mumbai) which totally complemented her blingy light pink lehenga.
Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa Shetty keeps it ever-so-chic in a seriously elaborate paneled necklace by Rare Heritage jewellery, Mumbai We love how Shilpa sticks to a colour palette, and her look does not look stuffy, in spite of her huge statement piece.
Pooja Hegde
It’s amazing how breezy Pooja Hegde keeps it with her single-piece statement. The star opted for an Anita Dongre (Mumbai) pearl and gemstone choker, featuring the archaic phool motifs, and a number of precious stones.
Mira Rajput
Trust Mira Rajput to always stand out amongst the crowd. For the Ambani reception she wore a beautiful handcrafted 22-carat gold Sunita Shekhawat (Jaipur) necklace, embellished with pink rubies and pearls.
Dia Mirza
Dia Mirza looks like a breath of fresh air, as she ditches heavy metallic bling and instead, opts for turquoise accented chandbalis featuring precious pearls.
Rhea Kapoor
Rhea Kapoor went all out and opted for an ornate kundan necklace designed by her mother Sunita Kapoor. We love the Edwardian influence on the neck piece and the stellar uncut stones and the simple, uncluttered design makes the gemstones pop.
Geeta Basra
Geeta Basra’s kundan and gold necklace is one of the most resplendent pieces we’ve seen lately. We love the modern take on a traditional design and the mismatched stones gel with each other. Notice how Geeta pairs the clear kundan with her jewel-tones lehenga, so it brings out the clarity of the stones.
