Celebrity Jewelry: Who Wears the Most?
For some celebrities, sporting their bling is a regular, daily habit. They wouldn’t dream of leaving home without their gleaming jewels. But for many celebs, a lot of the bling you see at the Oscar’s is actually on loan. Most of the bling displayed on the red carpet is more for the sake of the paparazzi. Now, however, pretty much any public appearance constitutes a red carpet moment for most celebrities. Designers such as Michael Katz and Harry Winston are known for lending out the bling that the cameras hone in on during Oscar night or other extremely public events.
Engagements and weddings are probably the other biggest opportunity to display the bling, whether the diamond rings are bought or borrowed. Take Eva Longoria for example, who wore over $600,000 of bright bling as she wed Spur’s player Tony Parker. Singers like Mariah Carey and Beyoncé Knowles, frequently sport their bling on their bathing suits. Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, and Victoria Beckham are also well known for their chunky, sparkling rocks. Carrie Underwood is boasting some pretty big bling on her ring finger, with her yellow diamond being worth around $150,000. Then there’s Britney with not one, but two engagement rings.
But women aren’t the only celebs that shine. Hip-hop stars Ludacris and Lil Jon have been seen wearing their bling on their teeth with studded mouthpieces. In fact, Lil Jon officially owns the world’s largest diamond pendant, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
While being blinged out definitely makes a statement, many celebrities have started using their blinging abilities for a good cause. The “Bling Your Blues” campaign motivated many celebs to dazzle up their denims to raise money for the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Other celebs have done photo shoots with expensive jewels to raise money for various charities.
But just because you are a celebrity, doesn’t mean that your bling is safe. Queen Latifah, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and even Orlando Bloom have all been de-blinged of jewelry worth large amounts of money. But then again, a fortune the average Joe might be mere pocket change to these celebs who can afford not one, but several gem studded watches or pairs of diamond earrings.
There exists no objective scale to measure one’s bling-i-ness, thus it is impossible to determine Hollywood’s most blinged out celebrities. However, you might want to keep your eyes on, or shielded from, the shine from Elizabeth Taylor, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, and the LA Lakers with their shiny NBA championship rings. But don’t forget the Oscar’s or other red carpet public appearances to spot to blingiest of the bling, and take comfort knowing that most of it is returning to the store after Cinderella leaves the ball.
