The orgy of consumerism that is at the heart of Sex and the City is about to be unleashed with the now franchise’s second installment. Let’s be honest- the first movie was such a hit with women because of the clothes, shoes and jewellery. It sure couldn’t have been because of that plot.

And now SATC 2 is about to hit theatres and there is already a lot of buzz about what they wear (as opposed to what they’ll be doing). These earrings, worn by character Samantha Jones, are made by designer Wendy Brandes and to buy the pair as worn in the movie (with over a carat of diamonds), I hope you have a Mr. Big sized bank account. They can be yours for $9000. See them here.

If you love the design and prefer silver, good news! Sterling will set you back only $450. Ms. Brandes has some stunning designs on her site, www.wendybrandes.com, if you are interested in her other offerings.

As worn on actress Kim Cattrall in the movie, the earrings look like this:
