The Ambani family is known everywhere for their money, power, and huge lifestyle. Mukesh Ambani, the head of Reliance Industries, is not only one of the richest people in India, but also one of the richest in the world, with a fortune of more than USD 110 billion. Their grand parties, big family events, and business success often make news. One such event was the wedding of Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta, which brought together two very strong and famous families.

Most people know Shloka as the daughter of Russell Mehta, the owner of Rosy Blue and often called India’s “diamond king.” But very few know about her cousin, Ashna Mehta. Unlike the Ambani women, who are usually seen in business or charity work, Ashna chose a different direction. She has made a name for herself as a high-end jewellery designer and has worked with many well-known stars in Hollywood.

Who is Ashna Mehta?

Ashna Mehta is quickly becoming a well-known name in the world of luxury jewellery. She may not be as famous as her cousin, but her work has already made a strong impact. Ashna is the daughter of Payal Mehta, a respected jewellery designer who founded the brand Payal New York. Not much is known about Ashna’s father, but one thing is clear i.e. jewellery is a big part of her family.

Ashna is also connected to Rosy Blue, one of the biggest diamond companies in the world. Because of this, she grew up around diamonds and fine jewellery. But instead of simply joining the family business, she decided to build her own identity as a designer.

Her rise to global attention began when she created a special “Barbie” necklace. The piece caught the eye of rapper Nicki Minaj, who is famous for her bold and colourful style. Nicki wore the necklace proudly and posted pictures of it on Instagram for her 200 million followers to see.

The necklace featured pink diamonds and detailed craftsmanship, and it quickly went viral. Fans, fashion lovers, and critics all wanted to know who designed it and that’s how Ashna Mehta became a name the world started talking about.

Designing for Hollywood’s Biggest Stars

Ashna doesn’t only work with well-known families in India, her designs have reached some of the biggest names in Hollywood too. Over the years, she has created custom jewellery for celebrities like:

  • Kim Kardashian
  • Paris Hilton
  • Winnie Harlow
  • Rihanna

Her pieces stand out because they feel both modern and classic at the same time. She mixes traditional diamond work with stylish, new-age designs. Since she has connections to India, Antwerp, Belgium, and New York, her ideas come from many cultures and places, giving her jewellery a unique global touch.

A passion passed down through generations

Ashna has often spoken about how deeply she feels connected to the world of diamonds. In one interview, she explained: “I grew up in a home where diamonds were always being discussed. Designing always felt natural to me because my mother is such a talented creator.”

Even though she is only 29, Ashna has already built a strong name for herself. She has over 31,000 Instagram followers, and the number keeps growing with her success. Her brand’s motto sums up her bold style perfectly:

“Eat diamonds for breakfast and shine all day.”
