Ah, award season. It's the time when celebrities can show off their newly toned bodies, don fabulous gowns plucked straight from the runway and put their team of hairstylists and makeup artists to work.

It's also the perfect opportunity to sport some major bling. So, in honor of one of our favorite parts of the red carpet, we're counting down the most expensive single pieces of jewelry in award show history. And we're not talking about a dainty diamond necklace here or a simple pair of stud earrings there. We're talking about the most dazzling, sparkling, out-of-this world expensive jewelry you've ever seen.

So who made the cut? Well, let's put it this way: There's nothing on our list that is under $1 million. And in comparison to some of our higher end jewels, a $1 million diamond necklace practically belongs in the bargain bin! We've even got a $31 million necklace worn by a famous country singer to the Grammys. Yup, you read that right: a cool $31 million. That's basically like wearing a beach-front mansion around your neck.

From Angelina Jolie's famous emerald drop earrings to Jessica Alba's $5.8 million Harry Winston diamond necklace, get ready to be blinded by the bling.
