Ariana Rockefeller wears diamond-studded Carl F. Bucherer to New York’s Met Ball

Fashion world’s biggest society event of the year turns into a pink carpet showcase of Bucherer’s watches and jewellery.

It is the biggest society and media event of the year for America’s brightest stars, and Ariana Rockefeller used the night to sparkle in thousands of diamonds donated for the night by Bucherer, owner of the Tourneau high end watch multiple retailer.

In honour of the night’s theme, Fashion: Notes on Camp, Ms Rockefeller’s stylist worked with Bucherer on a look that included over 130 carats of diamonds across her jewellery and timepiece.

“Jackie Kennedy was the inspiration,” said stylist Lela Rose. “We researched and found a few vintage looks we loved and set about modernizing in a Lela Rose way. The jewels are the pièce de résistance for Ariana’s look. For the first time, storied jeweler Bucherer provided jewellery for a Met Gala attendee.

“All told, there are more than 2500 diamonds weighing more than 130 carats sparkling on the necklace, bracelet, earrings and watch Ariana is wearing. Bucherer is a Swiss family owned company which has been in business since 1888. The brand recently acquired the watch retailer Tourneau,” she adds.
