Kim K's Gala Mask Necklace - Worth Millions?

Ian Ross | December 05, 2025

What's the value of Kim K's gala necklace from 2025?

A pop culture news site called OMG News recently asked Ross Metals Vice President, Ian Ross, for insight on the necklace Kim Kardashian wore to the Academy Museum Gala last season. Was her necklace actually worth millions in precious stones and metals?

Key takeaways from Ian’s Perspectives: 

  • If the necklace Kim K wore to the Gala was real gold and diamonds and emeralds, the piece would be worth millions of dollars. Due to Ian's high valuation, it is likely not real and more of "costume jewelry" which would be made out of lesser metals (stainless steel, sterling silver) and stones (cubic zirconia, quartz). 

Detailed Analysis:

"It looks like a mix of emeralds and diamonds varying in sizes. The diamonds are made up of pear, marquise, and round shapes. 

The majority of the stones look like they are all larger than 1.0 ct each which would make this necklace upwards of 100+ CT total weight. The green stones are likely emeralds, made up of lighter and darker shades that give the piece an envious vibe. 

Due to the complexity of the piece, (and if it's actually real) it is likely made in 18K White Gold or Platinum, more durable and higher quality metals than the normal 14K or Sterling Silver. Each cluster of gemstones and diamonds would need to be secured with the highest possible quality standards.

I'd value this piece at roughly $2-3m."
