NBC's "It's Worth What?" Is Bringing On The Bling!

This summer, NBC premieres "It's Worth What?," a new alternative series hosted by comedian Cedric "The Entertainer"

"It's Worth What?" is a game show that taps into America's curiosity for cost and value, such as the hidden gems found in one's attic. Through set imagery and a never-ending flow of collectibles, antiques and near priceless treasures, America is brought into a world with seemingly endless doors behind which are various objects ranging from a night at the Jersey Shore house to a cave bear skeleton from 150,000 BCE as well as unique and stunning pieces of jewelry and diamonds.


Here are some of the items that were featured on the first few shows:



Diamond Encrusted Computer Mouse

This fully functional computer mouse is cast in 18-carat white gold and set with 59 diamonds forming a flower design that weighs more than 2.5 carats. It is an RF Wireless, 3 button USB Optical mouse and comes with a certificate of authenticity. (Value: $26,000, courtesy of Pat Says Now Computer Accessories)

Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse

Created by the Mouawad, this heart-shaped purse is handcrafted from 18-karat gold and features over 4,500 diamonds weighing over 381 carats. It's listed by Guinness World Records as the "Most Valuable Handbag." (Value: $3,800,000, courtesy of Mouawad)

Diamond Dog Collar

That's right! This is a 52-carat diamond dog collar! Crafted with over 1,600 hand-set diamonds, each set in a mixture of platinum and 18 karat white gold, and accented with pieces of crocodile leather. (Value: $3,200,000, courtesy of I Love Dogs Diamonds)

Forget "sands through the hourglass"! This limited edition hourglass from De Beers is filled with 2000 natural rough diamonds with an approximate total weight of 36 carats, suspended in silicone fluid.

Jacob & Co. Limited Edition Quenttin Tourbillon Watch

This 18-carat, rose gold, Quenttin Tourbillon Rose Gold Watch is one of only 18 ever made. The word Tourbillon refers to mechanisms inside this type of watch that make it run precisely.

Vintage Gold Rolex Men's Watch (circa 1992)

This is an 18 karat, solid-gold Day-Date Oyster Perpetual Men's watch. This piece from 1992 comes with its own numbered certificate, and still has the green-case back sticker that was used to indicate new, unworn Rolex watches.
