| | Celebrity Jewelry, Then & Now Take a glance back at some of the celebrities we've watched onscreen or listened to on our iPods during the past decade or so.

Audrey Hepburn's necklace isn't too far off of current red carpet necklace trends, even though she wore it in 1953 while portraying a princess in the classic film, Roman Holiday. Some of the other jewelry would be considered gaudy by (most of) today's standards (like the cowbell Joan Crawford wore in a 1930 film). But Marilyn Monroe's earrings, Lauren Bacall's bangle bracelet and several other pieces are timeless styles that would be "safe" purchases for any classic jewelry collection.
