With my sunglasses on, I’m Jack Nicholson. Without them, I’m fat and 60.  ~Jack Nicholson

Most of us have seen, throughout history, how celebrities seem to choose the hippest and most influential glasses. Elle Magazine shows us which ones have affected us the most. What sunglasses make you feel like a star?

Apparently no one wants this beauty. Well, maybe its that little issue of the asking price, which apparently wasn’t reached:

The Eye of Golconda, an impressive necklace built around two D-flawless diamonds that was predicted to fetch as much as $10 million at the Christie’s jewelry auction last week, did not sell, company officials said. 

The piece, the headline offering at the auction house’s Hong Kong Magnificent Jewels sale on May 27, featured a 40.5 ct. D-color internally flawless diamond from the famed Golconda mine, as well as a 6.76 ct. D-internally flawless Golconda diamond up top.

“There was interest up to $7.2 million,” François Curiel, chairman of Christie’s Asia Pacific, tells JCK.  “But the vendor insisted on $8.5 million, so we did not sell it.”

We’ve focused on several celebrities and their bevvy of jewels over the years, but Ava Gardner often gets overlooked–though she has a whole museum dedicated to her collection! (The museum includes some of her most fabulous outfits as well.)

Here are a few photo highlights of her beauty and her jewelry.

She may have tied the knot with Frank Sinatra much later, but Tycoon husband Howard Hughes must be credited for the expensive jewels

stocked in Ava Gardner’s jewellery box. One of Hollywood’s biggest stars from the 1940s to 50s, Ava was known for her luxurious sense of

style and more importantly her elegant diamonds and sapphires.
