Ivanka Trump wore more than $1.1 million worth of diamond jewelry from Leviev at events held in honor of President Donald Trump's inauguration.
At a dinner the night before the inauguration, Ivanka Trump wore a custom Oscar de la Renta dress embroidered with crystals and pearls along with diamond and platinum pear-shaped drop earrings from Leviev. The 18.08-carat earrings retail for $900,000, a Leviev representative told Business Insider.
At the Liberty Inaugural Ball after the swearing-in ceremony, Ivanka Trump wore two more pieces from Leviev: a diamond necklace totaling 50 carats and 10-carat diamond cluster earrings. The necklace retails for about $180,000, and the earrings cost $60,000, the representative said.
Ivanka's Givenchy haute-couture gown was inspired by a dress the fashion house created for Audrey Hepburn's character in "Sabrina" in 1954.
Between the two events, Ivanka Trump's inaugural jewelry totaled just more than $1.1 million in value.
"We are proud to have our exquisite Leviev jewelry worn by Ivanka at this historic event with such elegance and poise," Leviev president and CEO Chagit Leviev told Business Insider. "These diamond fine jewelry pieces made the perfect finishing touches to complete her iconic inauguration looks."
The jewelry brand was founded by Lev Leviev, an Israeli diamond magnate with ties to Ivanka's husband, Jared Kushner. His daughter, Chagit Leviev, now owns the company.
In 2015, Kushner bought four floors of the former New York Times headquarters from Africa Israel Investments, of which Lev Leviev is the controlling shareholder, and its partner Five Mile Capital for $295 million.
Kushner is set to continue to advise his father-in-law on Middle East affairs in an unofficial capacity, reports say, while Ivanka Trump has made it clear she's done with politics.
