The 2025 Met Gala might have been a celebration of Black dandyism, but it also proved to be the perfect place to showcase high-end jewellery. As a Bulgari ambassador, Chopra Jonas made a memorable entrance on the red carpet with her massive Magnus Emerald necklace from the brand’s Polychroma High Jewellery collection. The emerald centrepiece was a staggering 241.06-carats—the largest faceted gemstone ever mounted by Bulgari—suspended from a refined setting of diamonds and platinum. The Italian house’s diamond earrings and an emerald ring finished the look.

140 diamond carats to remember

At Bulgari’s 140th anniversary celebration in 2024, Chopra Jonas dazzled in what is considered the Roman maison’s most precious creation to date: the Serpenti Aeterna necklace. Valued at a staggering US$43 million, the snaking diamond choker was crafted from a 200-carat rough diamond into seven pear-shaped stones totalling 140 carats—one for each year of the brand’s history. Designed by jewellery creative director Lucia Silvestri, the necklace took 2,800 hours to complete and was the centrepiece of a celebratory Aeterna collection unveiled at Rome’s historic Baths of Diocletian. Bulgari’s CEO Jean-Christophe Babin fittingly called it “the necklace of the century.”

A classy Cannes debut

Priyanka Chopra made a dazzling debut at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival by bringing a modern twist to Old Hollywood beauty. Attending as a guest of Chopard, she paired her strapless embellished dress with a striking set of long silver statement earrings. Shaped like delicate leaves, the retro earrings featured a hammered texture that added a subtle sparkle to the look.

A traditional wedding in style

For her Hinduwedding ceremony in 2018 with husband Nick Jonas, Chopra Jonas paid tribute to her heritage in a custom-made red lehenga by Indian designer Sabyasachi that took 110 embroiderers from Kolkata, India, 3,720 hours to create. The intricate ensemble was complemented by a statement necklace, also by Sabyasachi, inspired by the opulence of Mughal-era jewellery. The multi-layered necklace featured an exquisite cocktail of uncut diamonds, emeralds and Japanese cultured pearls set in 22-carat gold. Chopra completed the look with traditional Indian bridal adornments, including a haath phool, a 16-carat maang tikka (head jewellery), a kamarbandh (belt-like jewellery), chura (bangles), and kaleeras (dangling accessories on bangles), along with pear-shaped diamond earrings and a nose ring.

A Tiffany love story

Give her breakfast, lunch and dinner at Tiffany’s. While Chopra Jonas didn’t have a specific engagement ring style in mind, she always knew it had to come from one brand: Tiffany & Co. Just two months after they began dating, Nick Jonas famously shut down the jeweller’s New York flagship store in July 2018 to pick the perfect ring. He proposed with a timeless custom design featuring a 5-carat cushion-cut diamond with tapered baguette diamonds on each side, set on a platinum band. Estimated at around $300,000, Chopra Jonas showed off the diamond ring for the first time in a selfie with friend and fellow Bollywood actor Raveena Tandon on Instagram.

A Swarovski fantasy

Chopra Jonas’s sartorial flair was on full display when she embraced the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” Met Gala theme in 2018 in a custom Ralph Lauren crimson velvet gown topped with an embellished gold chain mail coif reminiscent of a medieval knight. Crafted entirely by hand with Swarovski crystals, meticulous beadwork and over 250 hours of embroidery, the ornate hood stole the show. In a red-carpet interview, Chopra Jonas revealed that the embroidery was done in India, allowing her two worlds—Western and Hindu—to collide. She completed the ensemble with subtle Cartier jewellery, letting the craftsmanship speak for itself.

Chopra Jonas took a break from her tight work schedule for her close friend Meghan Markle’s big day. For Meghan and Prince Harry’s royal wedding in 2018, she accessorised her all-puruple ensemble with a pair of sculptural diamond earrings by Lorraine Schwartz. Featuring a bold, multi-pointed geometric star design, the statement earrings lent a distinctly contemporary edge to her otherwise classic look.

Priyanka Chopra rose to fame with her Miss World win in 2000, when she was just 18 years old, marking the beginning of a storied career that would take her from pageantry to the silver screen and eventually to global stardom. On winning the title, Chopra Jonas adorned the iconic Miss World crown, famously known as the “Blue Crown”. Crafted from white gold and adorned with diamonds, sapphires and turquoise stones, the crown is estimated to be worth millions.
