A lot of people felt nostalgia and hope when, after a rollercoaster relationship, Ben and Jen found each other again this year. And this time, she finally sealed their relationship at the altar following her wedding today with Ben Affleck.
And it won’t be JLo without the coveted Jennifer Lopez jewelry at her own wedding. Sources say that the singer and personality wore various diamond and pearl jewelry that amounted to over $2 million.
For starters, Lopez wore three Ralph Lauren dresses for the celebration alone. This seems very fitting, given that this is an unexpected but also awaited union between the two celebrities. She also dazzled up every outfit with bridal jewelry of diamonds and pearls. Here are the details of JLo’s bridal look for her second BenJen wedding.
A Classy Turtleneck Bridal Couture
For the actual ceremony, JLo wore the turtleneck gown with ruffled folds on the ends of the skirt. According to Page Six, this gown consists of a thousand handkerchiefs and loads of fabric. But the biggest highlight of the gown are two Mikimoto diamond and pearl drop earrings.
This $53,000 bridal jewelry piece features white South Sea cultured pearls, clear diamonds, and a platinum setting. She paired this with a diamond floral ring that retails her entire jewelry piece for the outfit at less than $100,000.
Changeover to the pearl outfit
Her gown at the reception brings together a thousand strings of pearls and Swarovski crystals. This may be the most intricate wedding gown of the three, given the silk tulle as well as the crystals and pearls, which took 700 hours of hand embroidering for 30 artisans.
As per Ralph Lauren’s sketches, the backless dress dips and sweeps not only with the pleats but also the draped pearls from the neck to the gown’s folds. In fact, some people may have been wondering “What is that necklace JLo was wearing?” for her second dress. In reality, it was a drape of several strings of pearls that made up the collar section of the gown.
As if the pearls on the dress are not enough, JLo topped this off with another pair of Mikimoto pearl-and-diamond earrings, this time going with a stud style. This adds $85,000 to the overall bridal jewelry tally so far.
Plunging crystals
JLo’s final gown for the night seemed like a bridal homage to the iconic Green Jungle Versace dress from over a decade ago. Back then, her gown made headlines for its daring look. This time, JLo’s show-stopping wedding gown features a keyhole neckline finished with Swarovski crystal embellishments. To mirror the glamorous neckline, Lopez wore a $2 million pair of baubles. It’s a combination of marquise-cut and pear-shaped diamonds, assembled to look like diamonds with teardrop accents. The pair of earrings weighed a total of 27 carats.
How Much is Jennifer Lopez Wedding Ring?
With all the glamor that covered JLo’s wedding gowns, one may be wondering what her wedding ring looks like. Will it be a standout like her pink diamond, or a rare artisanal choice like her natural green engagement ring?
But just like the BenJen second chance, their wedding band of choice also came as a simple yet pleasant surprise. Town and Country reported that the couple opted for simple wedding bands, going for the timeless classic that many elegant couples went for before them. What makes this extra special is that the wedding band acts as a great canvas for the natural green engagement ring diamond to shine even brighter.
The Proverbial Engagement Ring
When it comes to the jewelry narrative, it seems that the BenJen power couple takes the cake. Since this is their second shot at love and at the altar, JLo also has a second engagement ring from her beau. And like the first one, this has equally created a new craze for being one of the more unique takes on engagement rings. Earlier this year, the couple made their intentions quite clear on where their second chance will lead to: vows at the altar.
Affleck confirmed this by gifting Jen with a natural green diamond that’s 8.5 carats worth, highlighted by two trapezoid-cut diamonds. So those who are wondering “Did Jennifer Lopez get a ring from Ben Affleck?” for this second relationship, it’s pretty clear that another jewelry piece joined JLo’s collection.
Endless: No End in Sight for JLo’s Jewelry Fascination
Given the number of jewelry pieces that the artist has had over the years, some may wonder, “Does Jennifer Lopez have a jewelry line?” While it may not be her personally released brand of fine jewelry, JLo has the Endless Jewelry inspired by herself.
JLo partnered with Endless Jewelry to create a range of affordable fine jewelry. By combining the brand’s renowned combination of color, leather, and charms with JLo’s glamor power and you end up with The Jennifer Lopez Collection. This line of Jennifer Lopez jewelry is a vintage and fun take that allows customers to express their personality through their own personal collections.
