She wore the fancy diamond on a necklace for the promotional shots for ‘Breakfast at Tiffany‘s.’ The necklace also had diamond ribbons surrounding the Tiffany Diamond. It was designed by Jean Schlumberger. And while you may think this was her favorite necklace, she said her favorite piece of jewelry was pearl necklace given to her by husband, Mel Ferrer.

The necklace was 128.54-carat canary Tiffany Diamond set in a ribbon. The jewel can be seen in one of the cases when Hepburn made an excursion during business hours to the store with her neighbor, played by George Peppard.
