41. Gwyneth Paltrow’s Diamonds And Sapphire Earrings
Designer: Anna Hu
Event: 2015 Oscars
Worth: $425,000*
At the 2015 Oscars, Gwyneth Paltrow’s earrings were hard to miss. The Annu Hu set was called the “Fire Phoenix” earrings. Priced at over $400,000, these baubles consisted of two, pear-shaped cabochon Rubellites. For those who don’t know, cabochon Rubellites are a rare gem specimen, and they have a rich color and good clarity.

The Fire Phoenix set’s Rubellites were set amid a cluster of blue, purple, and pink sapphires, white and yellow diamonds, Paraiba tourmalines, and spinels. All of these gems were set in white gold, giving the entire piece a very on-fire, warm-hued look. We can easily see why they are named the “Fire Phoenix” earrings.
