Britney Spears Wore Over $500K of Stephanie Gottlieb Diamonds at Her Wedding
The New York jeweler also made the pop star’s wedding bands.
A close-up of Britney Spears’ Stephanie Gottlieb wedding day jewels, along with the wedding bands Gottlieb made for the pop icon and her now-husband, Sam Asghari.
Los Angeles—Britney Spears took the humble at-home wedding to another level last Friday, with guests like Madonna and Donatella Versace in attendance at her nuptials to Sam Asghari in Los Angeles.
Naturally, the bride’s day-of jewels had to match that level of glamour.
The pop star, who announced her engagement to longtime fitness trainer beau Asghari last September, enlisted Stephanie Gottlieb for wedding day jewelry for herself and her now-husband.
The New York City-based bridal designer and online retailer delivered with more than 62 carats of diamonds for Spears, valued at more than $570,000.
Gottlieb curated the look personally.
It comprised round diamond and pear-shaped diamond drop earrings diamond pavé halos with just over 8 carats of diamonds, worth $250,000; a heart-shaped diamond tennis necklace featuring more than 27 carats set in 18-karat white gold and valued at $100,000; and an oval diamond tennis bracelet with more than 23 carats of diamonds set in 18-karat white gold and valued at $200,000.
“We knew that Britney’s dress had a classic silhouette with an open neckline, so we designed timeless pieces that would complement the style, including a tennis necklace, bracelet, and statement drop earrings,” Gottlieb said.
“These three classic styles all worked seamlessly together, while standing out individually to create a special wedding-worthy look.”

While these jewels likely are in the “something borrowed” category, Gottlieb also has a permanent place on the ring fingers of Spears and Asghari.
She crafted wedding bands for the two to exchange on the big day.
Spears opted for two bands to make a stack with her round brilliant-cut diamond solitaire engagement ring.
She chose a classic round diamond eternity band in a shared prong setting and a marquise diamond eternity band with stones set east-west. Each was rendered in platinum with just under 2 carats of diamonds.
Asghari also went for a stack. He chose a beveled comfort-fit band in platinum and a step-edge comfort-fit band in platinum.
