Radhika Merchant made a dramatic luxury-fashion statement at designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla’s 40th anniversary celebration in Mumbai. While her diamond-covered watch and Birkin bag were reportedly worth millions, her elaborate emerald jewellery may have been the real showstopper.
Radhika Merchant knows how to make a statement with jewellery, and her latest appearance in Mumbai offered another example of her unmistakable luxury style.
The youngest daughter-in-law of the Ambani family attended Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla’s star-studded 40th anniversary celebration on September 6 alongside Nita Ambani, Isha Ambani and Shloka Mehta.
Radhika, who is married to Anant Ambani, wore an intricately embellished jacket-and-skirt ensemble and completed the look with an extraordinary collection of jewellery and accessories.
The headline-grabbing pieces included a Patek Philippe watch and a diamond-encrusted Hermès Birkin. But according to jewellery content creator Julia Chafe, even those eye-catching accessories were arguably overshadowed by Radhika’s spectacular emerald necklace and other gemstones.
Radhika Merchant’s Reported $5 Million Accessories
On September 9, Chafe shared an Instagram Reel examining Radhika’s jewellery and accessories from the Mumbai event.
In the video, Chafe estimated the value of Radhika’s watch at approximately $2 million and the diamond-encrusted Birkin at around $3 million.
That would put the combined estimated value of those two accessories at approximately $5 million.
However, those figures are Chafe’s reported estimates, rather than publicly confirmed purchase prices or independently verified valuations.
And according to Chafe, the watch and handbag weren’t even the most remarkable pieces Radhika wore that evening.
Her necklace, earrings and rings drew particular attention because of their scale, craftsmanship and use of precious gemstones.
The Emerald Necklace Became the Centerpiece
Radhika’s neckpiece featured a large pendant and an impressive arrangement of gemstones.
Chafe focused on the enormous pendant in particular, joking about how such a substantial piece could seemingly be supported by a relatively delicate-looking chain.
The necklace combined traditional Indian jewellery influences with an ornate, high-jewellery aesthetic.
A large diamond featured prominently in the pendant, while the surrounding design incorporated rich emerald tones.
The result was a piece that looked ceremonial while also fitting comfortably into Radhika’s modern approach to Indian fashion.
Her Earrings and Emerald Ring Added Even More Drama
The necklace wasn’t the only statement jewellery in the ensemble.
Radhika also wore large chandelier-style earrings that complemented the pendant and framed her face.
An oversized emerald ring provided another strong burst of colour.
Together, the emerald pieces created a cohesive jewellery story, with the green gemstones contrasting against the rest of her embellished outfit.
The combination also reflected a style frequently seen in contemporary Indian luxury fashion: traditional gemstones and jewellery silhouettes interpreted alongside modern tailoring.
The Patek Philippe Twenty~4 Haute Joaillerie Watch
Among the accessories identified in the coverage was a Patek Philippe Twenty~4 Haute Joaillerie watch.
The timepiece is built around a rectangular case made from 18-karat white gold, with a compact profile characteristic of the Twenty~4 collection.
Its highly embellished design incorporates extensive diamond setting, while emerald detailing adds colour to the watch face.
The dial is paved with precious stones, with Roman numeral markers at 12 and 6 o’clock and feuille-style hands contributing a classic finishing touch.
The watch’s combination of high jewellery and mechanical watchmaking places it firmly in the luxury-accessory category.
While Chafe described the piece as being worth around $2 million, the exact value of an individual high-jewellery watch can vary depending on its precise reference, gemstone specifications, provenance, condition and market.
The Diamond Birkin Was Another Major Luxury Statement
Radhika also carried an exceptionally extravagant Birkin bag covered with diamonds.
Hermès Birkin bags are already among the world’s most coveted luxury handbags, but versions incorporating rare materials and substantial gemstone decoration can reach extraordinary prices.
Chafe estimated Radhika’s particular bag at approximately $3 million.
Again, that figure should be understood as a reported estimate rather than a confirmed transaction price.
Placed alongside the high-jewellery Patek Philippe, however, the bag made it clear that Radhika’s accessories were intended to be as important as the clothes themselves.
Radhika’s Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla Look
The jewellery was paired with an ornate jacket-and-skirt outfit from Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla.
The ensemble combined traditional Indian decorative elements with the sharper structure of contemporary tailoring.
The cropped jacket featured a scoop neckline, padded shoulders, long sleeves and a sculpted peplum shape.
Its floral embroidery introduced a softer element to the structured silhouette.
The matching skirt followed a fitted pencil shape and ended around midi length, creating a streamlined contrast with the more architectural jacket.
The floral detailing helped connect the outfit to Indian craftsmanship without making the overall silhouette overly traditional.
Her Beauty Look Kept the Focus on the Jewellery
Radhika’s makeup was relatively polished and glamorous, allowing the jewellery to remain the dominant feature.
Her look included winged eyeliner, defined brows and mascara, complemented by softly flushed cheeks and a glossy pink lip.
Subtle contouring and luminous highlighting added dimension without competing with the elaborate accessories.
For her hair, she chose a half-up style that kept the face visible while retaining a softer, elegant finish.
The overall beauty styling worked particularly well with the chandelier earrings and oversized necklace because neither the hair nor makeup overwhelmed the jewellery.
A Modern Approach to Indian High Jewellery
What made the look particularly notable was the way Radhika combined different luxury traditions.
The Patek Philippe brought Swiss haute horlogerie into the ensemble, while the Birkin represented one of the world’s most recognisable luxury fashion houses.
The emerald jewellery, meanwhile, carried a much stronger connection to traditional Indian high jewellery.
Rather than choosing between contemporary Western luxury and Indian craftsmanship, Radhika wore both together.
That mix has become increasingly visible at major Indian celebrations, where couture, heritage jewellery and international luxury accessories frequently appear within the same look.
Radhika Merchant Continues to Make Luxury Fashion Headlines
Radhika has become one of the most closely watched figures in Indian fashion, particularly following her marriage to Anant Ambani.
Her public appearances frequently attract attention not only for the clothing she wears but also for the craftsmanship and provenance of her jewellery.
At the Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla anniversary celebration, the combination was especially dramatic.
The floral embroidered outfit established the fashion foundation, while the emerald necklace, chandelier earrings, statement ring, high-jewellery watch and diamond-covered Birkin elevated the look into a full-scale luxury statement.
And while the reported $5 million combined estimate for the watch and handbag is certainly striking, the larger story may be the jewellery that surrounded them.
