Jeweler: Kwiat
Collaboration: Even jaded Simon Cowell noted contestant LaKisha Jones’s beautiful bling on the March 20 show. The value—as noted by all three judges—$1 million. Hope she had good security after her accessories’ worth was revealed to a live audience and millions of viewers. Show: The Bachelor: Rome
