Taylor Swift just made history again. The country pop star won the 65th Annual Grammy Awards’ best music video for All Too Well: The Short Film, becoming the first to win the category with a sole directing credit for their own music video.

But her huge diamond Lorraine Schwartz earrings and cocktail rings, together estimated to be worth US$3 million, threatened to make an even bigger statement.

It wasn’t the first time the 12-time Grammy winner has stolen the show with her bling though. The “Bejeweled” singer, 33, has flaunted many fine jewellery pieces over the years, including some worth no less than six figures. But which was the most expensive? Here are six sets she’s worn that come with hefty price tags indeed …

6. Cartier Love and Panthère bracelets: US$102,000

After winning her first Grammy in 2010, the awards’ youngest winner at that time appeared on the front cover of US Marie Claire’s July issue with the highlight on her wrist. In the set of four bracelets, there were three Cartiers and a Bulgari Parentesi white gold and diamond bangle, according to Star Style.

Among them, two came from the brand’s iconic 1969 Love de Cartier collection, featuring an oval bracelet composed of two rigid arcs that can be removed using a specific screwdriver. One was classic 18k yellow gold worth around US$8,000, and the other was 18K white gold and black ceramic with 204 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 1.99 carats – worth US$50,500. The third Cartier was a Maillon Panthère with three diamond-paved rows including 336 brilliant-cut diamonds totalling 2.41 carats, costing nearly US$43,500.
