A few years back, the release of the "Twilight" saga, both the books and the movie adaptations, were the greatest hits at the time. Thus, fans of the movie series really went out of their way to bid for some of the memorabilia from the movie, including the engagement ring that Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) to Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart).
"Twilight" Saga Memorabilia Being Auctioned Off; Fans Spent Much Money To Keep Those Memories With Them
Just recently, many of the items that were kept from when "Twilight" saga was filmed were auctioned off successfully at the Hollywood Chinese Theatre, an event that lasted for two days. The most popular among the items was Bella Swan's (Kristen Stewart) engagement ring that was given to her by Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). Pattinson was Stewart's real-life boyfriend at the time and shortly after, prior to breaking up due to a scandalous third party incident.
Bella Swan's Engagement Ring Sold At The Highest Price During The Auction
Despite having broken up already and having moved on from their relationship in the past, fans of the movies and the couple are still rooting for the two to somehow find their way to each other's arms back again. As a remembrance of their undying love, at least in the movie, the engagement ring was sold for $16,800 during the auction. The big price for the ring goes to show just how much the fans of the former couple are willing to spend to keep with them the memory of the dramatic and tragic love story of Bella and Edward.
Some of the items included in the auction were Edward's journal, his chess set and graduation cap display, and Bella's meadow costume. Among all the items being auctioned off, the ring was the one sold at the highest price, even though they initially predicted it to be sold up to $5,000 only. Apparently, cost more for the fans than they ever thought it to be.
