Jeff Bezos has gifted his bride-to-be Lauren Sánchez a necklace valued at $3 million to $5 million for their wedding weekend in Italy, a source tells Page Six.
The insider told us of the multimillion dollar jewelry, “It’s a diamond necklace that circles her neck with a large center stone and matching earrings.”
The source said that there’s buzz Sánchez will don the “dazzling new gems” during their weekend nuptials in Venice.
Bezos gave Sánchez an engagement ring in 2023 when he popped the question that experts pegged at 20 carats, with a roughly $2.5 million price tag.
Our source teased: “You won’t be able to miss this elegant diamond necklace as it’s almost as massive as Jeff’s superyacht. Lauren is thrilled with her blinding new necklace and earrings that take her already impressive collection up several notches.”
It’s unclear which jeweler was the source of the new necklace, and the source said NDAs are in place for all the wedding stylists and staffers — but there’s word the brand will leak when experts invariably guess at the necklace’s value and provenance, we hear.
The insider added: “It’s said Lauren will wear a long list of precious jewels throughout the festivities that could easily be worth up to $20 or $30-plus million.”
The source added: “I’m also told Lauren has her jewels and looks photographed days before she goes out in public so she knows what the photos will look like, and can change them if she’s not absolutely thrilled with the way everything looks.”
Sánchez, 55, wore a vintage Alexander McQueen dress while stepping out with Bezos, 61, for a pre-wedding dinner on Thursday.
The couple went public with their romance in 2019, and got engaged four years later.
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, told Page Six of the ring at the time of the engagement: “To find a natural diamond in that carat weight is exceptionally rare, and there’s no doubt Jeff Bezos would handpick an extravagant diamond. It’s likely that months of planning went into the design of the ring and the selection of the stone.”
A-list guests have been photographed flocking to the floating city for the couple’s upcoming nuptials, including Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Barry Diller and Orlando Bloom, among others.
We hear that wedding guests have been kept in the dark about the wedding festivities’ locations — but were provided with mood boards for outfit inspo.
Maybe they can just follow the gleaming from the bride’s alleged new gift?
The nuptials will reportedly take place at Teatro Verde on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
A rep for the couple did not immediately comment.
