Famous Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra wore a $43 million (Ksh 5.6 billion) diamond necklace during an event in Rome.
Priyanka Chopra wore the luxurious necklace during Bulgari’s 140th anniversary celebration, an event that also marked the unveiling of the brand’s new high-end jewelry collection Aeterna.
The necklace features seven pear-shaped diamonds totaling 140 carats on a main loop designed as a serpent, embellished with 698 sinuous baguette-cut diamonds.
“A journey through Bulgari’s 140-year legacy is born from a single rough stone totaling 200 carats…Beginning with a single block of wax, a senior artisan sculpted and molded the necklace’s 18 distinct elements before wielding a flame to delicately curve and imbue the composition with grace,” reads part a quote from the Bulgari official website.
Roman luxury behemoth Bulgari are the creators of the famed Serpenti Aeterna Necklace.

Serpenti Aeterna Necklace
Moving away from tradition, Bulgari chose diamonds as the central element on the necklace instead of colored gemstones, which are typically a Bulgari signature.
Named Serpenti Aeterna, the necklace is described as the most exquisite work of art the jeweler has ever produced.
According to Glamour, the necklace required 2,800 strenuous hours to craft and is celebrated for its unmatched purity.
Aeterna, meaning ‘eternal’ in Latin, embodies Bulgari’s heritage of innovation and its ability to reinvent itself throughout time.
The jaw-dropping creation, valued at a staggering $43 million, is not only a masterpiece of design but also a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship Bulgari is known for.
