“Okay, that’s going on my Pinterest board.”
💍 1. Elizabeth Taylor’s 33-Carat Diamond Ring
Let’s start with the queen of sparkle herself—Elizabeth Taylor. The woman had a collection, but her 33.19-carat Asscher-cut diamond from Richard Burton? Legend. She wore it like it was just another Tuesday, because for Liz… it was.

💎 2. Lady Gaga’s Tiffany Yellow Diamond at the Oscars (2019)
When Gaga stepped out in that black Alexander McQueen gown, she wasn’t alone. Around her neck? The 128.54-carat Tiffany Yellow Diamond, last worn by Audrey Hepburn herself. Vintage glam, meet modern drama.
đź’¬ Mood: Channeling Old Hollywood, but make it Gaga.
💖 3. Beyoncé’s $12M Lorraine Schwartz Emeralds
Beyoncé doesn’t do subtle. At the 2015 Met Gala, she wore dazzling emerald and diamond chandelier earrings by Lorraine Schwartz—and let’s be honest, no one looked at anyone else.
💬 Mood: If “rich auntie energy” were a gemstone.
💎 4. Princess Diana’s Sapphire Engagement Ring
Before it was Kate Middleton’s, it was Princess Di’s. That deep blue sapphire surrounded by diamonds? Instant icon status. Bold, beautiful, and unapologetically her—just like Diana.
đź’¬ Mood: Classic with a royal twist.
💫 5. Rihanna’s 116-Carat Chopard Diamond at Cannes
Rihanna showed up to the Cannes Film Festival draped in diamonds that looked like they were made of actual moonlight. A 116-carat diamond necklace and attitude that said, “I woke up like this.”
đź’¬ Mood: Effortless flex.
💍 6. Kim Kardashian’s 20-Carat Engagement Ring
Whether you loved the couple or not, that 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz ring from Kanye was unforgettable. The sparkle practically had its own zip code.
💬 Mood: Go big or go… even bigger.
✨ 7. Marilyn Monroe Singing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”
Okay, it wasn’t real-life red carpet glam—but it defined jewelry pop culture forever. Pink dress. Ice everywhere. A performance so iconic, it still inspires fashion 70 years later.
đź’¬ Mood: Flirty. Fabulous. Forever.
🖤 8. Zendaya’s Snake Bulgari Necklace
At the Venice Film Festival, Zendaya made headlines in a slinky dress and a Bulgari Serpenti diamond necklace that coiled around her neck like pure elegance. It wasn’t just jewelry—it was storytelling.
đź’¬ Mood: Dangerously chic.
đź’¬ Why Do We Love These Moments So Much?
Because jewelry isn’t just about sparkle—it’s about attitude, power, and identity. Whether it’s a 100-carat diamond or a delicate heirloom necklace, the right piece transforms a look into a moment.
And celebrities? They show us that when you own your sparkle, you own the room.
