The quintessential desi girl certainly knows how to elevate her excellent sartorial choices with the perfect accessory. At the 2020 Golden Globes, the actor looked like a million bucks and sported a tantalising pear-shaped Bulgari diamond necklace and diamond stud earrings, which only added to her stunning pink Cristina Ottaviano gown.

Lady Gaga has etched her name in history for more than one reason. For her Oscars 2019 look, the Star Is Born actor chose a black gown by Alexander McQueen. What set her apart was a 128.54-carat Tiffany & Co. yellow-diamond necklace called the Tiffany Diamond around her neck. The diamond, touted to be worth $30 million, has been worn by only three other people, including Audrey Hepburn and Beyonce. The evening also turned out to be a spectacular outing for Gaga, who picked up the coveted golden statue for Best Original Song for ‘Shallow’.

While diamonds have been a woman’s best friend, Grammys 2022 was a crash course on how diamond accessories work for men. Lenny Kravitz stood out from the crowd with his chainmail top and leather pants, only made better with a House of Kantor layered diamond tennis necklaces and bracelets.

The ‘Pose’ actor added massively to the bling quotient at the Emmys 2021 red carpet, where he sported an all-black ensemble by Ashi Studio. What stood out was a jaw-dropping Lorraine Schwartz necklace encrusted with white diamonds and emeralds. The jewel is reportedly worth $1 million. That’s not all.

Actor, producer, philanthropist. Deepika wears many hats in her life. Add to it a stunning repertoire of her fashionable outings. A great example of this was Cartier’s announcement of the actor being their new brand ambassador. The black and white picture of Deepika, where she was seen sporting a diamond necklace from the French luxury brand, is surely imprinted on our minds. She also chose to wear Cartier at her Cannes appearance last year, another look that was the talk of the town.
