Madonna’s 79-Carat "Looking Glass" Aquamarine Necklace Stole the Show—But You Can Get a Bold Look Without the $32K Price Tag
Posted on March 05 2025
When it comes to maximalist jewelry, Madonna never disappoints. At her Oscars 2025 afterparty, she stepped out in a jaw-dropping 79.29-carat aquamarine necklace, playfully dubbed the “Looking Glass Necklace.” This ocean-hued statement piece- PERFECT for Pisces season- valued at a cool $32,000, had all the drama, all the sparkle—and for Madonna- likely didn't hurt the bottom line.
But here’s the thing: you don’t need a celebrity budget to rock bold gemstone jewelry. In fact, most of my handmade crystal talismans and chunky gemstone statement pieces are even larger than Madonna’s aquamarine, but they ring in at around $300 instead of $30K. That’s right—you can channel Hollywood’s opulent, red-carpet energy without dipping into your retirement fund.
How to Get the Madonna Maximalist Look (for Way Less)
🌊 Turquoise & Garnet Statement Necklaces – The Looking Glass Necklace may be fancy, but my handmade turquoise and garnet colorful gemstone pendants capture the same ethereal, otherworldly vibe—often strung on recycled silk cords or organic leather for a sustainable touch.
✨ Sterling Silver Rings with Bold Stones – Want to flash some statement bling? Oversized sterling silver rings with multi-stone meteorites on a triple band add an air of out of this world extravagance without the Hollywood markup.
💎 Dangle Earrings with Feather & Crystal Accents – If you’re after that “I-just-casually-threw-on-these-designer-jewels” energy, gemstone dangle earrings with garnet, brilliant opals, or amethyst bring all the movement, color, and impact—at a fraction of the cost.
So while Madonna shines in her five-figure couture jewelry, you can make just as bold of a statement (without a bodyguard for your necklace). Want to see how? Check out my latest collection of one-of-a-kind crystal jewelry here!
