The Most Expensive Jewels In The World

Chopard 201-Carat Watch

Value: $25 Million

Yes, this is technically a watch, not a “jewel.” But just take one look at this Chopard creation—it’s stunning! And hey, nowadays, most people consider watches to be very valuable jewelry. Chopard is actually known for their luxury watches. Their expertise allows them to combine timepieces and their other specialty: jewelry.

This watch is a truly interesting piece. There are 874 diamonds it total. They range in various size with the largest diamond weighing in at 15 carats. Adding that little extra wow factor is the mechanism moves the three diamonds apart, revealing the watch underneath. This watch is quite the showpiece!

The Hutton-Mdivani Jadeite Necklace

Value: $27.4 million

Here comes another Cartier piece! The Hutton-Mdivani Jadeite necklace has been in the possession of some famous people for many years, which is no surprise. Famous people are really the only type of people who can afford these jewels. Some of the more notable owners of this necklace included Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton and Princess Nina Mdivina. Princess Nina Mdivina has an interesting story, though. It was rumored that she hid the necklace under her bed so debt collectors wouldn’t find it, which is pretty clever.

The necklace contains 27 emerald green jadeite beads. The finishing touch is a ruby, diamond, platinum and gold clasp. “Finishing touch” is right! That is pretty incredible.
