One of the best things about being a celebrity? Getting access to some of the most expensive jewelry on Earth, and being able to wear them for a night (typically for an awards ceremony). Just as important as picking the exact couture gown that's right for the event is picking the opulent jewelry that's going to complement your look perfectly and give the right amount of sparkle—and get everyone talking, obviously. If you're even luckier, you might buy or receive a piece of jewelry that is yours forever.
The baubles on this list also include engagement rings and other pieces that celebs received or purchased for themselves (Elizabeth Taylor in particular had an incredible jewelry collection, including one standout diamond that's going to blow your mind). So let's all pretend that we're celebrities for a moment and ogle all these gorgeous necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that cost literally millions of dollars—and pretend that, one day, we can wear them too. Below, the most expensive, over-the-top jewelry celebrities have ever worn.
