Today marks a significant turning point for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant as a married couple, as it is their one-year wedding anniversary, having been married on July 12, 2024. Over the course of many months last year, netizens were keeping a close eye on every aspect of the star-studded wedding events, from the pre-wedding festivities to the opulent designer attire and the amazing high-profile celebrities who attended as guests.

The jewelry worn by the Ambani family, which was the height of exquisite craftsmanship, was certainly another reason for the crowd to gasp. The groom's amazing collection of brooches, which he would attach to his sherwani, was one of the things that stood out among them. A brooch is a piece of jewelry that is fastened to the clothing, often at the lapel, and may also be a statement item for the uninitiated.

Anant Ambani established an animal rehabilitation center named Vantara, and his passion for animals was evident in his brooch collection, the majority of which was either symbolic in nature or based on an animal-inspired theme. His brooch designs, which ranged from lions to elephants, demonstrated his passion for animals.

Anant wore a number of brooches to his pre-wedding festivities and nuptials. Here are a few of them:

1. broach with a 50-carat diamond lion

On the day of his pre-wedding party, Anant Ambani sported a lion-shaped brooch with a 50-carat diamond. The jewelry artist Lorraine Schwartz created it. In the design, the 50-carat diamond hung from the lion's mouth, while yellow diamonds made up the lion's body and mane. This is what he wore to his Hastakhar celebration.

2. emerald brooch with weight of 720 carats

Anant Ambani wore a Zambian emerald brooch that was a massive 720 carats at his wedding. A Cartier diamond panther sat atop the emerald. Working alongside Heeramaneck & Son and Cartier, this jewelry marvel was created.

3. Elephant brooch

At his baraat, Anant sported a brooch in the form of an elephant. This brooch was among the most unique and eye-catching. The main attraction of this sculptural elephant brooch is its massive shape, while the other brooches, as previously stated, included huge gems, either set on top of the emerald or with a huge diamond hanging from the mouth.

In collaboration with Nita Ambani, Kantilal Chhotalal Jewellers designed it for the wedding as a piece of the Vantara Collection. This collection also featured similar brooches with animal themes, which other members of the Ambani family were also seen wearing.

4. Ruby rock broach shaped like a Royal Bengal tiger

This brooch design was nearly identical to the panther-on-emerald piece he wore for his wedding, featuring a Royal Bengal Tiger adorned with yellow and white diamonds, as well as black stones that made up its stripes. The tiger assumed a ferocious prowl position on top of a massive ruby piece. The tiger's shape displays an amazing attention to detail. This brooch was worn by Anant at his Sangeet.

5. Feather brooch on a royal Bengal tiger

An additional tiger brooch was worn by Anant Ambani at his wedding reception. In contrast to the sculptural, three-dimensional shape of the previous ruby tiger brooch, this one had a two-dimensional, understated, and flat design. The addition of a lovely crimson feather gave this work a laid-back vibe.
