Winston what could you do with 5.8 million dollars well you could buy 25 American homes with change to spare or 22 Lamborghini hurricanes you could even feed over 31 and African children for an entire year or you could spend that 5.8 million bucks on the mrs.

Winston and was worn by the very beautiful Jessica Alba at the 70th Golden Globe Awards Jessica also wore Harry Winston around diamond stud earrings and a pear-shaped diamond cluster ring so why is this necklace so expensive well no expense was spared in its creation not only does it come from a famous name but all the diamonds are of D E and F colors which means of high quality they are also all set in platinum the tapered look of the necklace is also a selling point for its both contemporary and retro without looking garish number 12 the Panther bracelet you can show your significant other love in many ways other times you might empty the dishwasher without being prompted or put away a load of laundry or you could do what the Duke of Windsor Edward did and spoil your love with expensive jewelry the icin that attracted nice attention was a bracelet in the form of a panther the Duchess of Windsor Wallis Simpson was a very lucky woman not only did Edward abdicate the throne for her losing out on becoming the King of England but he quite often had expensive jewelry commissioned just for her one example of that was the Cartier Panther bracelet which went on to sell for a whopping four million five hundred twenty one thousand two hundred fifty pounds the bracelet was made in 1952 with single cut diamonds and a caliber cut onyx the bracelet also had marquise-shaped emeralds it was made just for her and he won't find any other piece like it that might be why some of her most precious pieces which went up for auction at Sotheby's in London sold for just under 8 million dollars with the Cartier Panther bracelet among them this bracelet was a record setter and its beauty leaves no question as to why number 11 emerald and diamond tiara it's always quite memorable to pick a piece of jewelry out with your significant other then every time you look at them you're reminded of them and what they mean to you but do you know what can often make a piece of jewelry even more special when it's your significant other who designs it as well that is perhaps why Queen Victoria's emerald and diamond tiara means so much to her and to others and as you can see with emeralds you need this consistency of color this wonderful grass green it was one of the most exquisite pieces in her tiara collection and also her favorite in part of course because the Prince Consort her husband Prince Albert of saxe-coburg and Gotha designed it for her the tiara is a nearly entire circle and has cushion shaped diamonds along the base it also has step cut emeralds with a row of 19 pear-shaped emeralds on the top all emeralds were carefully selected with the largest on the tiara weighing 15 carats Prince Albert gifted the tiara to Queen Victoria along with pendant earrings and a 20 carat emerald brooch and we're all here just wishing our significant others would take out the trash number 10 part of Kingdom Ruby the heart of the kingdom ruby is a piece of jewelry that you describe in one word exquisite from the forty point 63 karat blood red rubies that has been expertly crafted into a heart shape to the 155 carat cluster of diamonds around the outside this necklace means business I show the beautiful heart necklace here so it's probably of no surprise that the heart of Kingdom Ruby is worth 14 million dollars of course all those diamonds and the fact you can turn the necklace into a tiara contribute to its price tag but those aren't the only reasons blood red rubies are some of the rarest ruby types in the world a single carat can often have record prices of over 1 million dollars this one is over 40 so it's nearly a bargain the necklace was also crafted by Girard & Co a london-based jeweller the house of Gerard brand is known around the world and probably even more so when there are the proud creators of a necklace comparable to no other you could almost say that the Titanic's fictitious but still adored heart of the ocean doesn't even compare number 9 the Bulgari blue have you pulled up the couch cushions only to discover a pair fifteen point seven million bucks lying around yeah same now the hard part is deciding what to do with it of course fifteen point seven million dollars could buy you 13 used Cessna private jet planes with money to spare very rare color fancy deep blue but why not buy a piece of jewelry instead that's right there's actually a piece of jewelry that exists worth fifteen point seven million dollars and you can buy it the Bulgari blue is a private collector's piece that is on the market for fifteen million seven hundred sixty two thousand five hundred dollars it is a blue two stone color diamond and diamond ring designed by Bulgari Bulgari is a famous Italian luxury brand famous for its glamorous jewelry and this ring is no exception it features an exquisite triangular cut vivid blue diamond that weighs ten point 95 carats it also has a second triangular cut diamond of nine point eighty seven carats directly below it from the baguette cut diamond half hoop to the gold mounting and beautiful black silk box it's hard to not make your eyes light up when you see this ring if you're trying to get into your fiance's good graces this diamond ring might be the best place to start number eight Chopard blue diamond blue diamonds are some of the most expensive in the world they are rare and are only found among boron deposits which is how they get their striking blue shade so it makes a lot of sense for any jewelry featuring blue diamonds to be quite expensive but you still might get a shock when you find out just how much this show parred blue diamond ring is so part is a high-end swiss company known for its luxury jewelry and watches every year they dress up celebrities in their exquisite pieces for red-carpet events they are also an integral part of the Cannes Film Festival still if those events didn't put this company in the spotlight then this diamond ring will it's worth a whopping 16 point 26 million dollars and to many is worth every penny it has a giant nine carat blue diamond in an oval shape and has lovely diamond shoulders these are set in an 18 karat white gold band with a few extra diamonds for good measure 16 point 26 million dollars could buy you a lot of pretty things but could anything rival this exquisite piece very unlikely number 7 the Blue Bell of Asia jewellery is often only as valuable as what people are willing to pay for it still the Blue Bell of Asia will be worth it's value whether people are fighting to own it or not the Blue Bell of Asia is a 390 2.52 carat untreated cushion cut sapphire on a brilliant cut diamond tassel pendant it's then mounted on a diamond and white gold necklace right here in my hands I have the belt of Asia see that's nothing short of divine still it's not even its overall design or beautiful looks that make it worth a whopping 17 million five hundred sixty-four thousand one hundred fifty six bucks it's the blue sapphire finding a comparable diamond is near impossible because there's nearly nothing else like it in the world well nothing discovered yet the blue sapphire has incredible depth and clarity with a peacock blue color this particular shade of blue is often called cornflower blue and it's nothing short of exquisite in fact it is one of the most desirable shades and sapphires hence its price tag whoever bought the diamond which was up for auction clearly saw its value and rarity it was sold in November 2014 in christie's geneva and went from six point nine million dollars as a starting bid to over seventeen million dollars in its final bid to this day the private better remains anonymous number six cushion fancy vivid pink ring if you can recall Dolores Umbridge from the film Harry Potter in the order of the Phoenix then you'll see where we're going with this this cushion fancy vivid pink ring would suit Dolores get up to a tee after all how often do you come across a pink diamond ring and because you don't come across a pink diamond ring often you will pay through the nose for it we call the pink it has a bright pink color and it is the biggest cushion shaped diamond this particular one which is 16.08 carats was thought to fetch a price between 23 and 28 million dollars this ring is the largest of its kind ever to go up for auction at Christie's Geneva and it's sure captured a lot of attention it had a vivid pink diamond set in a double halo of white pave-set diamonds and a platinum and gold ring the size six ring captured the hearts of women the world over who put on their best set of puppy-dog eyes for their significant other even though this pink ring is rare Christie's Geneva is no stranger to of them 7 years before this one went up for auction in 2015 they sold another one that weighed 5 carats for 2 point 16 million dollars per Karen that ring still holds the record for the most paid for a pink diamond per carat number 5 Zowie diamond many pieces of jewelry get their value from who designed them who crafted them and who wore them but the Zoe diamond is something entirely different this exquisite piece was a winner in its own right nothing else was known about its history the 9.75 carat diamond was auctioned at Sotheby's New York as part of Paul melons collection Paul was a famous banker who made millions in finance industry and oil sector investments his diamond was certified by the GI a as having the highest grading possible as a fancy vivid blue diamond and with a clarity grading of VVS to this grading is extraordinary for diamonds of its size so it was probably not unexpected that it would fetch quite a high price tag this diamond sold for thirty two point six million dollars in 2014 making it a world auction record for the price per carat at the time blue vivid diamonds are more expensive than many other diamonds you can buy and there's a reason for that they're only found in a few mines around the world including in Australia India and South Africa the more vibrant the blue color the more expensive the diamond number for Chopard 201 carat watch how much would you spend on a brand new watch $20 $25 about twenty five million dollars with more razzle-dazzle than a mr. whippy ice cream with sprinkles this 201 carat watch is definitely a head-turner but you'd expect that if you're a nano ver 25 million bucks for it the watch is covered from top to toe in natural colored diamonds these can be so blinding to look at that you'll surely not be able to tell the time while wearing it out in the Summer Sun still as impractical as this time teller can be there's no denying it's gonna win you a lot of friends the timepiece itself has pink diamonds both in the watch face and the framing around it there is also a mixture of yellow and pink diamonds among a few clear ones in its straps we'd say this isn't your everyday average watch but it will undoubtedly show people
