Karl Lagerfeld loves himself a good, crisp high collar, so it should come as no surprise that he created one that could double as a necklace.

Karl crafted the fancy neckwear out of metallic leather and includes 40 carats of black diamonds and a massive 22.33 carat emerald as the centerpiece.

The cost? A mere $45,000!!!

Lagerfeld said of his magnum opus:

"I'm renowned for my love of a high collar and I wanted to create a true collector's item with this one-off piece. Merging the masculine with the feminine and uniting the world of fine jewelry and high fashion, to me this collar is a work of art and a real show-stopper."

Indeed it is Karl. Indeed it is.

If U want to see the one of a kind collar up close and personal, it will be part of the Brilliant exhibit curated by Vogue jewelry editor Carol Woolton at the Masterpiece London Fair from June 27th-July 4th.

Axl Rose is going to need some major Patience.

During a private party after one of his concerts in France, the Guns N' Roses singer realized that three of his gold and diamond chains worth over $200,000 were missing.

He wasn't wearing the jewelry at the time, which would have made things much more interesting, but sources do say that he was "fuming" after the theft.

Police have since opened an investigation.

Huguette Clark was the daughter of United States senator and industrialist William A. Clark.

An heiress to a copper fortune, Huguette was worth $400 million when she died at the age of 104 last year. Of the many amazing treasures she left behind were rare and beautiful jewels which now find themselves on Christie's auction block.

Rahul Kadakia, Christie's head of jewelry, is still stunned by the jewels, saying:

"To have this collection of jewels from the gilded age is going to be fabulous at auction. It's one of the best periods of jewelry manufacturing."

Undoubtedly the most fabulous of the rocks is the pink cushion-cut 9-carat diamond ring. That baby's worth upwards of $8 million.

Other luxurious gems include a rectangular-cut 19-carat diamond ring worth $3 million.

Dayum! That's a whole lot of sparkle!!

So if anyone wants to give us a present, they know where to go! Ha!
