Sofia Vergara, one of the most stunning appearances on the red carpet at the Emmys 2013 this Sunday, was almost overshadowed by her own accessories. Almost.

People magazine reports that the actress, who chose a red Vera Wang dress for the occasion, opted for Lorraine Schwartz jewelry to accessorize, to the tune of a whopping $7 million (€5.1 million).

Of course, it’s not like she paid out of her own pocket for the pieces (she probably didn’t pay a dime, because they were all loaners), but it still seems a bit too excessive.

“The star’s Lorraine Schwartz gems totaled 161 carats. […] Those platinum earrings, set with rubies, sapphires and Colombian emeralds (a favorite of the star — and a nod to her home country!) weighed in at a whopping 100 carats,” the celebrity publication writes.

“To make sure her fingers didn’t feel left out, she added a 40-carat Colombian emerald-and-diamond ring and a 21-carat Asscher-cut diamond ring,” People adds.

The diamond bauble was her engagement ring, most likely.
