Emerging luxury jewellery brand QWEEN made its first international appearance at the 2026 Met Gala, with celebrity stylist and fashion influencer Diya Mehta wearing bespoke high jewellery pieces created by the brand.
The jewellery included two custom-designed hairpins, one featuring a 25-carat emerald and the other set with a 20-carat oval-cut natural diamond. The look was completed with a pair of 40-carat emerald earrings.
According to the brand, the pieces were designed to focus on the rarity and quality of the gemstones, with a minimal design approach intended to highlight material and craftsmanship.
The appearance generated attention across international fashion and jewellery media, with coverage focusing on the contemporary styling and use of high-value natural stones in a red-carpet setting.
QWEEN, backed by Rosy Blue and Kashikey, is expected to officially launch by the end of May 2026. The brand stated that it will work exclusively with natural diamonds and gemstones as part of its positioning within the luxury jewellery segment.
The Met Gala debut comes at a time when global luxury brands are increasingly leveraging celebrity appearances and international fashion platforms to build visibility and establish brand identity in the high jewellery market.
