Bling Empire: Christine Chiu’s Most Expensive & Rarest Jewelry Pieces

Netflix’s new series Bling Empire has the word bling in the title for a very good reason. The cast of this Crazy Rich Asians-inspired show sports some of the most luxurious gemstone designs in the world. Christine Chiu is one cast member who owns exceptional high jewelry pieces. This reality star is particularly fond of necklaces and other costly baubles from Louis Vuitton.  

Christine Chiu is painted as a villain on the show, but that may not be true. She has a compelling background. Her husband Gabriel Chiu is a 24th-generation member (of direct descent) of the Song dynasty. Christine has explained that if dynasties were still in existence in China, Gabriel’s father would be an emperor, Gabriel would be the next in line, and little Baby G would be a prince. Since dynasties are no longer a thing, Christine lives a different kind of lifestyle. She and her husband own and operate Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery, where Gabriel is a plastic surgeon. Chiu is also a producer, philanthropist, and haute couture collector. Typically, Christine attends at least 30 fashion shows a year and buys at least one thing at every show. Items from elite fashion shows can cost over $100,000. In addition to her impressive wardrobe, Christine has an expensive and rare jewelry collection. 

While preparing for her Chinese New Year party on Rodeo Drive, adorable Baby G’s mom Christine pulled out her finest Chanel jewelry. A single piece of Chanel jewelry can cost anywhere between $40,000 and $3.7 million. “You’re going all Chanel tonight, huh?” Gabriel says after seeing the fabulous jewelry laid out. Specifically, she planned to wear a patterned cuff bracelet, two layered necklaces, earrings, and a ring. Christine argued that the event was sponsored by Piaget, a luxury watch and jewelry brand, which is why she brought out her finest Chanel. “I thought it was a bit much,” Gabriel states again, to which Christine comically responds, “No I think more is more when it comes to jewelry.” 

Later on, Christine shows off her Louis Vuitton pink sapphire and diamond necklace. It’s definitely high jewelry! Similar to Chanel, LV jewelry can cost anywhere between $50,000 and several million dollars. Christine’s biggest rival in Los Angeles is Bling Empire co-star, Anna Shay, who owns the exact same necklace. Drama ensued when Christine wore the butterfly and flower-patterned necklace to so-called frenemy Anna’s dinner party. 

Christine has definitely got some impressive diamonds, which are set in the most precious of metals. However, her decision to use fine gems as a power move might not have been wise. We hope to see more luxurious jewelry from the Bling Empire cast someday!

Bling Empire is now streaming on Netflix.
