Cartier diamonds and platinum added extra glitz to Renee Zellweger's silver Carolina Herrera strapless sheath. The Cartier jewels are all vintage, and are set with diamonds of all sorts. The Private Collection Flower Diamond Brooch at her bosom, circa 1941, is set with round old-cut and single-cut diamonds, and is considered to be priceless.

A second vintage Cartier brooch is set with over 45 carats of diamonds and valued at $262,000. A Cartier Art Deco Diamond Bracelet, retailing at $563,000 and fashioned with nearly 400 diamonds set into platinum, encircles Ms. Zellweger's wrist. Two more bracelets top it off, both from the 1920's and set with a mixture of diamonds: pear shapes, round old-cuts and rose cut stones. The bracelets are considered priceless.
