Most Expensive Red Carpet Jewelry of All Time

37. Kiera Knightely’s Necklace

Designer: Bulgari
Event: 2006 Oscars
Worth: $400,000-$600,000*

The Adevnturine called this necklace one of the “best” Oscar necklaces of all time. At the 2006 Oscars, Keira Knightley wore a bib necklace from Bulgari. The Italian jeweler’s masterpiece was made in the sixties (hence the unique look), and it came straight from the Bulgari archives.

Knightley paired it with a one-shoulder, chocolate-colored gown that didn’t actually match any of the jewel’s gems. Though the British actress broke the rules in the style rulebook for this look, everyone was “speechless” when she put on the baubles, according to Rachel Zoe, her stylist. Over a decade later, we’re all still talking about the daring look.
