While it's not fair to say that diamonds are every girl's best friend, the phrase definitely applies to Bronwyn Newport. During Season 5, Episode 9 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the newest 'Wife was gifted the most stunning necklace by her husband, Todd Bradley, to celebrate a decade of being together — and we have all the details on the special piece of bling.
Bronwyn's opera necklace is a $4 million piece by jeweler Norman Silverman that measures in at a whopping 170 carats.
"It's beautiful," said Todd while placing the stunning piece around his wife's neck before their anniversary party in the Wednesday, November 13 episode.
"It's too pretty, huh?" Bronwyn replied. "Careful with it."
During Episode 8, a private jeweler named Racqui made a house call to Bronwyn and Todd's in Palm Springs while several cast members were on a trip there. She'd driven all the way from Los Angeles to allow them to shop for jewels.
"Bronwyn's excited to see you. Or excited to see what you brought, anyway," said Todd after inviting the professional inside.
Together, the couple ogled the diamonds laid out in front of them. Offerings included 20-carat diamond stud earrings priced at $1.4 million dollars and the aforementioned necklace. Naturally, Bronwyn couldn't get enough of the necklace. "It's beautiful, it's so insane," she said.
"So, these are the pieces I talked to Norman about that I was thinking," Bronwyn told her husband as they assessed the wares and attempted to make a decision. "Happy anniversary to me. Yes?"

In a confessional, she explained that she'd worked with the jeweler before and had recently been to his vault.
"Todd likes to buy jewelry for me," she added. "It's a big expenditure, so these are all pieces I liked at the jeweler that I would like Todd to also like for me.
And, apparently, he did; the opera necklace is the exact piece that she was presented with in the following episode.
