The party never starts until Rihanna walks in and she ensured that all eyes were on her when she attended the Rihanna x Fenty Hair launch in Los Angeles on Monday.
Showcasing her natural hair, the superstar donned a deep red midi dress with a low-cut neckline, complimented by two dazzling ruby necklaces.
While international celebrities often flaunt creations by Indian designers, Rihanna made a significant statement at the event for her beauty brand by wearing exquisite jewellery from not one, but two Indian designers.
Fine jewellery experts at UK retailer Steven Stone have taken a close look at the striking pieces, revealing everything there is to know.
Choker
Rihanna stunned in the Manish Malhotra High Jewellery choker. Crafted in 18k white gold, it boasts custom cut rubies encrusted in diamonds.
Rubies are believed to protect the wearer from negative entities that leach positive energy, promoting spiritual vitality and wellness overall.
Our experts estimate the choker to be worth a staggering $200,000 (£155,900).
Necklace
Rihanna was wearing a three drop rubellite, tourmaline and brilliant cut diamond necklace from Sabyasachi High Jewellery.
Rubellite is the red or pink variety of tourmaline and is a member of elbaite. Rubellite is also the rarest gem in its family – thus, the necklace is likely to have a high price tag.
Our experts estimate the necklace to be worth $70,000 (£54,600).
