Diamonds are a girl's best friend
When Jewelry is shown in fiction, it's to pretty up a scene. Pretty much like RealLife, since wearing jewelry is almost always to enhance appearance and/or to show off wealth.
Sparkly jewelry also makes a great MacGuffin; a MineralMacGuffin, even.
{{Sub Trope}}s include:
* GemEncrusted (Sticking Jewelry on anything it would pretty up)
* DiamondsInTheBuff
* DistractedByTheLuxury (as jewelry is the most common luxury used)
* RingOfPower (since rings are jewelry)
* PowerCrystal.
A SisterTrope to PrettyInMink, GoldMakesEverythingShiny.
Compare EverythingsBetterWithSparkles, PimpedOutDress, ConspicuousConsumption (which this trope almost always is).

!!Examples:
[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* The song "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" from the musical version of ''GentlemenPreferBlondes'' (made famous by MarilynMonroe in the film version).
* Some of Satine's {{Pimped Out Dress}}es in ''MoulinRouge'' have "Diamond" in the name by the costume designer -- and the evil Duke offers her a necklace so stunning that even she is [[DistractedByTheLuxury briefly dazzled]].
* In ''Love Potion #9'', Sandra Bullock is offered a diamond necklace by an Italian car magnate. At first she refuses, but when she finds out that his company is the one that made her piece-of-crap car, she takes it from him.
* ''JodhaaAkbar''. [[http://nowrunning.com/comingsoon/JodhaaAkbar/stills/JodhaaAkbar01.jpg What did you expect?]] [[http://s.chakpak.com/se_images/102069_-1_564_none/jodhaa-akbar-wallpaper.jpg Rajputs love their bling.]]
* ''DiamondsAreForever'' and its very sparkly, {{Fetish Fuel}}-tacular [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxST-YyICGM title sequence]].
* Ginger in ''{{Casino}}'' loves showing hers off.
[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* Several times in ''SexAndTheCity'', the girls have reacted with near orgasmic glee when given fancy jewelry by their beaus. Miranda being the exception, she's the only one who hates grand romantic gestures.
[[AC:{{Music}}]]
* The JenniferLopez song "Jenny From the Block" has the line "Don't be fooled by these rocks", although the video and her lifestyle did make the line seem empty.
[[AC:NewspaperComics]]
* Jeremy in ''{{Zits}}'' is trying to ask a girl advice for what to give his mom for her birthday, and before he can complete his sentences the girl keeps interrupting "Jewelry. Yep, definitely jewelry." On another occasion, he bought his girlfriend Sara one earring with an I.O.U (a very tiny one that fit where the earring would go in the box) for the other one when he can afford it. Sara was nonetheless touched by the gesture.
[[AC:RealLife]]
* The "Affair of the Necklace" was a historical scandal where a con artist stole an extremely expensive diamond necklace, and tricked the jeweler into thinking Marie Antoinette was buying it.
[[AC:{{Theatre}}]]
* The song ''Glitter and be Gay'' from ''{{Candide}}'' is (almost) all about how much the character loves her flashy wardrobe, especially the jewels.
[[AC:{{Toys}}]]
* {{Barbie}} has loads of jewelry, and even has some in the OfficialCosplayGear sets.
[[AC:VideoGames]]
* Diamonds are a weapon in ''DeadRising'', although not very effective at first.
* Redd White in ''PhoenixWright: AceAttorney'', is covered in jewelry and can make it sparkle just by showing it off.
* The ''FinalFantasy'' series has Accessories/Relics which could increase stats of the user.
** ''FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' has Scions, a group of accessories which the wearer can summon Espers which appear from ''FinalFantasyXII''.
* In the ''HarvestMoon series'', it's often possible to have jewelry crafted from {{orichalcum}}. It has no real use, but makes a good gift.
[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* In an episode of ''GoldieGoldAndActionJack'', Goldie uses her pearl necklace as an impromptu seal on a magic spirit after the old seal was broken.
* The {{Disney Princess}}es, especially with their "Jewel Princess" set.
* As the name implies, ''PrincessGwenevereAndTheJewelRiders'' used them for loads of things, from {{MacGuffin}}s to {{Transformation Trinket}}s.
