Bryant, who plays for the Dallas Cowboys, wore his diamond earrings during a game between the Cowboys and the New York Giants recently. After a pass he hit the ground with the football and both the ball and the earring got away from him. The diamond stud is said to be worth $50,000 (in the image above, from a different game, you can see just how large the earring is). Bryant completed three catches, 104 yards and one touchdown during the game. Aafter the Cowboys won game, the earring was later found. A security guard recovered the diamond stud and returned it to Bryant in the locker room after the game.

Fashion reporter Hitha Prabhakar prices them out at $10,275.
