68. Katy Perry’s Yellow Diamond Ring
Designer: Harry Kotlar
Event: 2015 Grammys
Worth: $2 million*
The unique color of yellow diamonds comes from nitrogen being present in their composition. The nitrogen absorbs all blue light, turning the stone into a beautiful yellow shade. Canary yellow diamonds are the rarest of these, as they have an intense, deep yellow color. The natural process that creates a canary yellow diamond is very uncommon, which is why jewelry featuring these stones can cost millions.
