Nita Ambani's Rs 17 cr Hermès bag with '2,712 diamonds' shines at Diwali bash

Nita Ambani, the chairperson and founder of the Reliance Foundation, turned heads at designer Manish Malhotra's Diwali bash with her exquisite sense of style. The elegant saree was just the beginning, as her accessories stole the spotlight.

The real showstopper was her ultra-rare miniature Hermès Birkin, known as the Sac Bijou Birkin, valued at approximately $2 million USD or roughly Rs 17 crore in Indian currency.

Bag adorned with 2,712 diamonds

This stunning piece of jewellery is crafted from white gold and adorned with 2,712 diamonds, making it one of the rarest and most expensive handbags ever created. What makes it even more fascinating is that it's meant to be worn as a bracelet, transforming it from a luxury accessory into a wearable sculpture. With only three such diamond-studded pieces existing in the world, Nita Ambani's Hermès Sac Bijou Birkin is truly a masterpiece.
