Heiress Isha Ambani has borrowed jewels from her mother, Nita Mukesh Ambani, many times over the years—most recently, for her younger brother Anant’s wedding festivities, according to the Times of India. For the Lagan Lakhvanu ceremony, she donned a diamond and emerald necklace, kundan polki earrings, bangles, and emerald ring that Nita had worn to the opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Culture Center in March 2023. She also found her diamond and emerald necklace, earrings, maang tikka, and bracelet for the pre-wedding parties in Nita’s personal collection. (The matriarch had worn these pieces to her eldest son Akash’s wedding in 2019.)

Ever since getting engaged to (and later marrying) Prince Harry, Meghan Markle has gained access to a true treasure trove of jewels. It began with her Cleave & Company engagement ring, which boasts two side stones from Princess Diana’s jewelry collection. On her wedding day, she wore Lady Di’s aquamarine cocktail ring to the reception. (She brought it back out on her royal tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand later that year, and again on a red carpet in 2022.) Since then, she’s been spotted donning the late royal’s diamond tennis bracelet, Tank Française watch, butterfly earrings, gold gemstone cuff and diamond cross necklace.

During her award season streak for Everything Everywhere All at Once, Jamie Lee Curtis wanted to make sure to keep her late parents, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, close. At the 2023 SAG Awards, she did so through jewelry. As she accepted her Best Supporting Actress prize, she revealed she was wearing her mother’s wedding ring, which she saw as a symbol of love. (Though, she clarified to the audience: “They hated each other, by the way, by the end of it.”) She later explained to People how, as she got ready, “I saw it in a little box and I thought about my parents and I wouldn’t be here without them. I literally wouldn’t be here without them, just biologically wouldn’t be here without them, and I am a product of this town, these people. I never would have been an actor, it was a total fluke I became an actor. And so, I don’t know, I just wanted to bring them here tonight… I came here with my mother the first time I was nominated and I really thought a lot about my parents and their story a lot.”
