TEO YOO: Did you spot Yoo’s super cute Cartier Collection Tortoise brooch circa 2002 in 18k white gold with emerald eyes and diamonds? The reason for the choice: the tortoise-shaped brooch was chosen in honor of his pet tortoise, Momo, who passed away last year. “I was in tears for about three days,” he told the red carpet-interviewer.

ELTON JOHN: Should we crown Elton the king of animal-themed brooches? While playing host at his legendary AIDS Foundation Oscar Party gala, he flaunted a Chopard high jewelry bird brooch, complete with a feathery diamond-donned tail pinned to his lapel. Because who says only birds can rock feathers with flair?
