Meet ‘Jewels with Jules’, the Insta-influencer who decoded Nita Ambani’s $6.5 million diamond ring
Anant and Radhika pre-wedding celebrations at Jamnagar saw the Ambani family dazzle and shine. The gorgeous baubles, regal neckpieces, statement rings and even the groom’s diamond buttons left the internet in awe. And one of the people they were turning to for answers: Julia Chafe.
The US-based social media influencer is among the most popular jewellery influencers with over 3,18,000 followers on Instagram and over 1,50,000 on TikTok. Many social media users began tagging ‘Jewels with Jules’, asking her to decode the value of the massive gems.
Her post calling attention to the Raghavendra Rathore diamond buttons on Anant Ambani’s ivory Rohit Bal sherwani racked up 3.5 million views. But it was her post on Nita Ambani’s $6.5 million diamond ring that went viral. Chafe says she found out via an Instagram DM that the diamond is called Mirror of Paradise, a D-colour internally flawless diamond, weighing 52.58 carats, that was sold at a Christie’s ‘Maharajas and Mughals’ auction in 2019. It was last spotted on Nita Ambani’s finger at the NMACC gala, Chafe said.
