3. Peacock brooch by Graff—$100 million
Definitely not for wearing, (imagine losing it!) the Peacock Brooch is an investment, a collectible, among the stash of similar pieces of jewelry owned by the world’s billionaires. With diamonds weighing as much as 20 carats, there are 1,305 different stones on this famous brooch weighing a whopping total of 120.81 carats. The brooch boasts yellow, orange, green, and pink diamonds—it is a beautiful, multicolored bird festooned with jewels. London-based British jewel crafter Graff Diamonds presented the brooch in 2013 at the Netherlands´ Maastricht’s TEFAF fair, where the wealthiest collectors and professionals in the industry gather to view some of the most precious objects in the world. The 20.2-carat blue diamond centerpiece can be detached and worn separately.
