Harry Winston’s Extraordinary Diamond Drop Earrings::


 

Created by the House of Winston in 2006, this pair of pear-shaped, diamond earrings weighs in at 60.1 carats altogether.

Winston was a jeweler famous for donating the Hope diamond, which he’d had in his possession for a decade, to the Smithsonian Institute in 1958. He got his start when he purchased Arabella Huntington’s jewelry collection, one of the largest of the time, and reworked them on his own to reflect contemporary fashion. His name has since been attached to the millions of dollars jewelry lent out to celebrities on Oscar night.

These extraordinary diamond drop earrings are the most expensive earrings in the world valued at $8.5 million. They can be purchased from the House of Winston on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hill, California.
