Priyanka Chopra Jonas is bringing luxury to a whole new level. The 41-year-old actress was seen wearing a diamond choker necklace worth a whopping $43 million at the Bulgari High Jewelry Show in Rome on Monday, May 20.

Totaling 140 carats, the Serpenti Aertena necklace was created in celebration of Bulgari's 140th anniversary. It took approximately 2,800 hours to craft, making it one of the most extravagant designs by the jewelry brand.

According to Bulgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin, the Serpenti Aertena necklace is considered "the necklace of the century" as stated in an interview with Vogue.

Chopra Jonas, who is 41 years old, wore a stunning piece of jewelry with her off-the-shoulder black and white custom Del Core gown. She styled her bobbed hair in loose waves and had sparkly brown eyeshadow, long lashes, and dark pink lipstick for the event.

The evening took place at the Terme di Diocleziano in Rome, featuring a jewelry show and a gala dinner.

Other celebrities who were present at the event were Anne Hathaway, Shu Qi, Liu Yifei, Carla Bruni, Law Roach, and Isabella Rossellini.

It was only fitting for Chopra Jonas to don the necklace, considering her position as Bulgari's global brand ambassador.

In August 2021, the actress from Love Again was named as the ambassador for the Italian jewelry brand, becoming the first Indian woman to hold this title.

During an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Chopra Jonas expressed her excitement about being chosen by Bulgari. She mentioned that the brand has a strong connection with India, sourcing many of their gems sustainably from her home country. This made her feel proud to represent the beauty of India in this special role.

"It's a dream come true for me to work with such an iconic house like Bulgari. As a young actor, I used to look up to international film stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren, who have always been the muses of Bulgari. Now, I am excited to follow in their footsteps."
