The celeb weddings of 2023 took our hearts away this love season
2023 is clearly distinguishing itself as the year of love and holy matrimony. We have been treated to a flurry of gorgeous celebrity weddings in the past couple of months…and the weddings have been nothing short of ethereal.
To look at our favourite divas decked up in their dreamy designer lehengas and bewitching jewellery is almost therapeutic. Each wedding was distinctive and beautiful in its own way. However, one thing which was synonymous across all the weddings, was the fact that all the brides adorned breath-taking natural diamonds as part of their ensemble.
Take a peek at some of our favourite celeb couples who got hitched this year and the alluring real diamonds they sported for their special day.
Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul
The worlds of cricket and Bollywood coincide to create this super-cute entanglement. A relatively private affair, which well-suited both Athiya’s and Rahul’s personalities was a treat to witness. (Through the Instagram pictures of course!) Decked in white and gold, Athiya looked absolutely exquisite. Keeping her look fairly minimalistic, Athiya wore Polki – uncut natural diamond jewellery from Birdhichand. She was seen wearing a classic solitaire mangalsutra and she flaunted her natural diamond engagement ring which was a simple round solitaire, along with a diamond wedding band. Oh wait, did we forget to mention that her ring was HUGE? Well played, KL Rahul.
Kiara Advani and Siddharth Malhotra
‘Humari permanent booking hogayi’; an iconic line for an iconic couple. Perhaps one of the most anticipated weddings in Bollywood history, Sid and Kiara took the social media world by storm when they posted their wedding pictures on Instagram. And after looking at the photos and videos, we can certainly say that this wedding was the one that everyone dreams to have someday; it was straight out of a fairy tale. And Kiara herself looked like a fairy as she adorned one of the most stunning diamond jewellery sets we have ever seen. It was clearly the highlight of her outfit and was simply impossible to miss. Making a bold statement, a massive emerald-studded natural diamond broad choker hugged Kiara’s neck during her wedding ceremony, as she wore an all-Manish Malhotra look. Kiara paired that with a pear-shaped ring on one hand and her solitaire engagement ring on the other. Kiara also pulled off a diamond maangtikka and a diamond hathphool as well, which is not such a common sight for a bride. Certainly, a look that will go down in history books! Siddharth also looked at his elegant best as he was seen wearing a stunning Polki ring, which complemented his attire perfectly.
Natasa Stankovic and Hardik Pandya
What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than marrying the love of your life (again)? Hardik and Natasa have officially been married since May 2020, but they said their vows again on V-Day 2023. What an amazing gesture to reaffirm the love and solidarity! It was an all-white wedding in Udaipur, and we can’t stop obsessing over how elegant the bride looked. Natasa paired her pearly white wedding gown with a sparkly natural diamond set which shined as bright as her. Her classic Reviere solitaire necklace was minimalistic in nature and had a total of 47 diamonds, and each stone was highlighted to maximize the brilliance, totalling a whopping 79 carats. Her earrings, which perfectly complemented her necklace, were classic solitaire dangler drops, and were around 15 carats. The all-rounder’s wife looked gorgeous all-round!

De Beers Group Honours Suryakumar Yadav With A 9-Carat Cricket-Inspired Natural Diamond Creation
Introducing An Extraordinary Bespoke Powerplay Pendant and A Constellation Diamond Chain, Each A Masterpiece In Natural Diamond Artistry
Something has quietly changed in the way Indian men relate to jewellery, and De Beers Group is paying attention. To mark this shift, they have gifted the cricketing icon, Suryakumar Yadav, a customised natural diamond cricket-inspired powerplay pendant strung onto a unique natural diamond chain. The collaboration aims towards a cultural shift, one where men are choosing diamonds not as occasion wear, but as personal expression—as an extension of identity. And in what may be the most fitting symbol of that shift, natural diamonds have found their way to the cricket pitch.
The powerplay pendant is a refined tribute to leadership, precision and the commanding spirit of the game. Conceived as a symbol of vision and direction, the design is anchored by a sculptural cricket bat that cuts through the form with purpose, shaping its structure while embodying the clarity and confidence of a true captain. Crafted in 18kt white gold, the piece comes alive through the interplay of natural diamonds, where contrast meets harmony. One half of the form is illuminated in pavé, evoking the collective energy of a team in motion, while the brushed gold surface reveals a singular solitaire, an abstract cricket ball, capturing that defining moment where opportunity meets precision.
A dynamic line of princess and baguette-cut natural diamonds traces the length of the bat, punctuated by custom triangular cuts that enhance volume and create a sense of forward movement, mirroring the momentum of the game itself. Across the pendant and chain, the creation features a remarkable total of 1,848 natural diamonds, a testament to both scale and meticulous craftsmanship. The powerplay pendant forms the sculptural centrepiece, while the constellation chain extends this narrative through an intricate composition of over 400 handcrafted links, each seamlessly set with natural diamonds, together embodying precision, rhythm and modern masculinity.
The powerplay pendant is set with natural diamonds totalling approximately 9 carats, while the complete creation amounts to an impressive 21 carats of natural diamonds. The result is a piece that balances strength with fluidity, mirroring Suryakumar Yadav’s own style of play—sharp, controlled, and effortlessly refined.
Speaking on the customised pendant, Suryakumar Yadav said:
“The powerplay pendant is special to me. It reflects my journey and identity in the field in a deeply personal way. What the De Beers team has created is more than just jewellery. It is a piece of my story, crafted with precision and intention that I deeply connect with. It is something I will always carry as a reminder of where I come from and what I stand for.”
In India, natural diamonds have always symbolised moments that matter. With these creations, De Beers Group elevates that meaning into something deeply personal—a celebration of journeys shaped by time and an unshakeable belief in one’s own path.
