When actresses become famous they begin to enjoy the perks that go with stardom. They include being loaned some of the finest jewels that money can buy. Actress Winona Ryder was in Madrid, Spain last week to attend the Marie Claire magazine party and borrowed $125,000 worth of Bulgari diamonds that have since vanished.
Ryder claims that she gave the diamond-encrusted bracelet and ring to the front desk at her hotel. The actress states that she put them in an envelope and asked that they be locked up for safe keeping. Now the gems have gone missing and the hotel is having a hard time locating the surveillance video.
Bulgari executives have of course turned this matter over to the police for further investigation. Ryder’s people have yet to comment on the situation.
In 2001 Winona was arrested for shoplifting at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills and received a fine and community service in a plea deal.
