Met Gala 2026: Indian Billionaire Dazzles In 550-Carat Tanzanite and Rare Diamonds Worth $15M

Hyderabad-based billionaire Sudha Reddy wore jewellery from her personal collection valued at more than $15 million (£11.3 million) to the 2026 Met Gala on Monday, according to People.

The centrepiece was a 550-carat deep violet-blue tanzanite pendant known as the 'Queen of Merelani,' set in a Victorian-finished chain of triangular and pear-shaped rose-cut diamonds arranged in floral clusters. The stone was sourced from Tanzania's Merelani Hills - the only known commercial deposit of the gemstone on earth.
