Kim Kardashian experienced a moment of panic during one of the world’s most extravagant weddings—the union of Anand Ambani, son of India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant. The grand celebration took place in July and was attended by celebrities and VIPs from around the world, including Kim and her sister Khloé Kardashian.
Although neither of the sisters had a personal relationship with the couple, they traveled to India to be part of the lavish celebration, which, according to Vogue, had an estimated price tag of over $600 million.
While both women said they had an incredible time at the event, things didn’t go exactly as planned. During the wedding festivities, Kim Kardashian lost a precious diamond from her extravagant necklace. The moment was captured in the latest episode of The Kardashians, airing Thursday, and quickly sparked online commentary, with many calling it another example of the family’s extravagant lifestyle and detachment from everyday reality.
The incident unfolded during a reception, as Kim was speaking with members of the groom’s family. Suddenly, one of the diamonds fell from her impressive necklace, which featured large pear-shaped diamonds and rows of pearls. Khloé was the first to notice, blurting out: “Kim, a diamond’s missing!”
The sisters immediately called their longtime friend and celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, who had designed the necklace and was fortunately nearby to assist. Speaking to the camera, Kim explained that the necklace was an extremely detailed luxury piece, custom-made for the occasion.
Khloé speculated that the diamond had likely fallen while they were chatting with the groom’s sister. The show even featured the moment in slow motion, highlighting the dramatic fall of the missing gem.
Despite a thorough search—checking the floor, the dress, even inside Kim’s neckline—the diamond could not be found. “It’s nowhere to be found,” Kim said with visible disappointment. Event staff, guests, and Schwartz herself joined the search effort. Eventually, Kim and Khloé were escorted to a private room to allow security to perform a more detailed inspection.
Yet, even amid the anxiety, the Kardashian sisters didn’t miss the opportunity for a quick photo session. Stopping in front of a stunning floral arrangement, Kim smiled and said, “Don’t get us wrong—we’re worried about the diamond—but look at these flowers!”
Ultimately, the diamond was never recovered, and the episode ended with a cheeky on-screen tribute:
“In memory of the Ambani Wedding Diamond.”
The moment, though dramatic, gave viewers a glimpse into the surreal world of luxury, loss, and laughter that defines the Kardashian brand—and reminded everyone that even multimillion-dollar jewels aren’t safe at a $600 million wedding.
