\n\nNita Ambani’s jewellery collection rarely fails to turn heads. The wife of billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani wore the Soaring Spirit brooch by Hong Kong jewellery artist and sculptor Wallace Chan.
\n\nShaped like a dragonfly, the brooch is crafted in tsavorite garnet, yellow diamonds, diamonds, fancy coloured diamonds, ruby and pink sapphire, all set in titanium. A 17.67-carat tsavorite garnet anchors the design, framed by 3.12 carats of yellow diamonds.
\n\nChan made the piece in 2017 and showed it at TEFAF Maastricht in 2018. Titanium is his signature. The metal is light and flexible, so a jewel of this scale moves with the wearer.
\n\nChan sees the dragonfly as a carrier of time and a symbol of infinite dimensions, with wings that echo an abacus, a tool of calculation and measurement. With each beat, he says, the insect gauges time, the strength it needs to climb and the world around it, building harmony with the elements as it flies. He also reads it as a creature of childlike wonder, free and full of limitless possibility.
