Anant Ambani, the youngest son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, recently got engaged to his childhood friend Radhika Merchant, daughter of industrialist Viren Merchant.
Naturally, the magnificent engagement packed with Bollywood stars, sports celebrities and big industrialists grabbed the headlines.
Anant Ambani, the youngest descendant, donned a blue kurta paired with an embroidered jacket at his engagement. However, Anant’s brooch has caught everyone’s attention on social media. According to a Times of India report, Mukesh Ambani’s son wore a Panthere de Cartier brooch made of platinum/gold, set with diamonds and rosettes made of cabochon-cut onyx.
The brooch’s nose has black onyx and the panther’s eyes are made of pear-shaped emeralds.
Interestingly, the brooch can also be used as a multipurpose piece of jewellery. The head can rotate and the limbs can transform into a pendant, ring or earrings.
The Duchess of Windsor ordered a clip-on brooch in 1949 and it featured platinum, white gold, single-cut diamonds, two pear-shaped yellow diamonds, sapphire cabochons, and a 152.35-carat Kashmir sapphire cabochon.
