The annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has earned world recognition for its unparalleled display of beauty and glamour. Contributing to the sparkle on the runway this year were the exquisite jewelry designs by renowned international jeweler, Mouawad.

Approximately 10,000 diamonds, rubies, and emeralds, were used to adorn the annual Fantasy Bra set and 6 individual pieces for the runway. Each statement piece was individually selected to compliment the intricate designs and respective theme of each look. Models wearing Mouawad designs on the runway included Victoria's Secret Angels Karolina Kurkova, wearing a stunning 100 carat diamond necklace, and Alessandra Ambrosio who modeled yellow and white diamond stud earrings with a white diamond necklace.

The most impressive piece of the evening was the Fantasy Bra set including a bra, panty, hair clip, garter and cuff embellished with over 1,662 carats in diamonds, rubies and emeralds, valued at $4.5 million. In theme with the holiday season, the set featured poinsettia and holly detailing across the top of the bra and panty which required over 880 hours of labor to place the 9,000 stones.
