Brooke Shields will only give her jewellery to one of her daughters
The Blue Lagoon actress has Rowan, 22, and Grier, 19, with husband Chris Henchy but when she passes away, her younger daughter will receive her rings, bracelets and necklaces because she "understands" their value more than her older child.
She told Only Natural Diamonds: 'Only my younger daughter [will inherit my jewellery].
'My older daughter has lost every piece I've ever given her. I literally cannot do it again.
"[Grier] understands the difference between real and 'real'.
'It's not about the gold or diamonds alone—she sees the history, the workmanship, the story behind the institution of these houses.'
The 60-year-old star feels 'very attached to jewellery and diamonds.'
She joked: 'That might sound obnoxious."
But she then explained why they are so important to her.
She said: 'When you've worked hard, you're not waiting to be validated — you do something for yourself. There's a sense of empowerment in that."
Brooke learned the value of diamonds from her late mother Teri, who passed away in 2012.
She said: 'My mom always said, 'Buy yourself your own diamond — don't wait to be given one from a man'.
'My mom bought me my first emerald-cut diamond. It's very beautiful, and I got it set in a Verdura cuff.'
The Pretty Baby star has fond memories of buying jewellery to mark her travels with her mom.
She said: "Ever since I was a little girl, every time we'd go somewhere, we'd find a jewellery store — if we were in Asia, it was pearls; if we were elsewhere, it was diamonds or brooches.
'Maybe it's because she grew up in Newark during the Depression era, in poverty, and jewellery represented what she aspired to have in life.'
Brooke recalled how she used to struggle with poorly-fitting runway samples during her career.
She said of the clothes: 'They would throw runway samples on me, and my hands didn't even fit in."
But as she has got older, Brooke has lost weight due to a femur injury and its effects on her body, but she doesn't feel at ease.
She said: 'It messes with your head. Weight loss at this age is complicated."

Hulk Hogan didn't meet his grandchildren prior to his death
Hulk Hogan never met his grandchildren before his death. The wrestling legend passed away aged 71 last month after suffering a heart attack at his home in Florida and his son-in-law Steven Oleksy has revealed that Hulk showed "no interest" in meeting his estranged daughter Brooke's twins Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene when approached following their births in January. Former NHL player Oleksy told People: "I sent text messages once again to kind of gauge where he was at, but there was no interest." Oleksy explained how he and Brooke moved from Michigan to Florida to be closer to Hulk - whose real name was Terry Bollea - as he "was getting older" and suffering with his health. He said: "She was there for every surgery leading up to the last two years. She would fly down on her own dime, take care of her dad, and it just made a lot of sense. "No one understood his body, procedures, medications and everything else more than my wife." Oleksy explained that the family will remain in Florida following the WWE icon's passing as the state has grown to feel like "home" for them. The ex-ice hockey star said: "We've built a beautiful life here together." Brooke, 37, posted a lengthy tribute to her father on Instagram earlier this week and used her post to "clear a few things up" regarding the pair's estrangement. The realty star wrote: "It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself." Brooke - Hulk's eldest child from his marriage to first wife Linda Hogan - added: "We had been through almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden he didn't want me at surgeries…everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn't get through. (sic)" She explained how the pair's relationship ultimately collapsed due to a series of "respectful disagreements". Brooke said: "He was telling me these things, being so vulnerable with me and heard my pleas, then suddenly something shifted, and he made a choice to walk the path that clearly tore at his spirit. I felt a disconnect. What followed were respectful disagreements that took an emotional toll on me."

Brooke Hogan 'didn't want to be in Hulk Hogan's will'
Brooke Hogan asked to be removed from her father's will in 2023. Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died from cardiac arrest on July 24, aged 71, and Brooke, 37, reportedly made the will request two years ago because she "didn't want to get caught up in a financial battle when he passed", according to TMZ. Brooke is said to have wanted to protect her father from people she believed "were taking advantage of him" but after many years of disagreements, she contacted his financial manager and asked to be removed as a beneficiary. Brooke is reportedly set to receive a small sum from a life insurance trust and is planning to put the money towards her children's college funds. Meanwhile, following her father's death, Brooke took to social media to pay tribute and to reflect on their turbulent relationship. In a lengthy post on Instagram, Brooke explained: "When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us. I know he's at peace now, out of pain, and in a place as beautiful as he imagined. He used to speak about this moment with such wonder and hope. Like meeting God was the greatest championship he'd ever have." Brooke also used her post to "clear a few things up" regarding their estrangement.

However, she does not have any regrets about how she dealt with the situation. She said: "I know in my heart I did everything I could. He knew I would run through a burning building for him. And in many ways, along the path of life, I did. He knows how deeply, how hard and how purely I loved him. I am at peace knowing this."
