Diamond necklaces given to audience members from Oprah Winfrey‘s Sydney show are valued at $405 but some fans aren’t happy, complaining they are too small.

The complaints follow stories last week that the necklaces had not yet arrived, but have since started turning up.

Patrons received a silver-chained O pendant featuring seven “tiny” diamonds courtesy of Rio Tinto’s Argyle mine.

“I finally got it yesterday after six months wait,” one reader told News Limited. “And I can’t see any diamonds on it but other than that it looks like a cheap piece of costume jewellery.

“They call it a ‘special edition’, but really there’s nothing special about it. I’m really disappointed.”

But a spokesperson for Harpo Productions said the necklace’s were Rio Tinto’s responsibility.

A spokeswoman for Rio Tinto said confusion had been created after a $7000 diamond encrusted necklace was mistaken for what was always planned.

“What has been delivered is what we promised and while there has been negative feedback based on false expectations we have also had a lot of extremely positive feedback,” she said.

The negative Winfrey story comes just two weeks before her final show in the US.

Some US media also picked up the diamond necklace story last week.

  1. These people seriously have to get over it. Some people are so greedy it sickens me. They had an amazing experience seeing the show and should be happy they have got anything at all. There are bigger problems in the world people!

  4. Shut up you pack of bloody whingers , dont look a gift horse in the mouth , if you dont like it send it back , put it on ebay or give it to someone else.If you were on KAK years ago you may have go a packet of Tim Tams.

  5. Suck it up… You got tickets to a show that tens of thousands applied to be at. Just be grateful for being a part of it… Gifts were an added bonus… I would have been happy just to be there.

  6. Oprah – lesson to learn. Dont give selfish people gifts – they think they desevre more that what they are worth.

    This is why we cant have nice things.

  8. “They call it a ‘special edition’, but really there’s nothing special about it. I’m really disappointed.”
    Oh boo-hoo. They only wanted tickets because they thought they were gonna get a car or something. Suck it up, losers.

  13. I feel really sorry for these people. The Free necklace they were given is only valued at $400. Surely they deserve better. Get over yourselves.

  16. By golly! Some people are truly precious, its Free for crying out aloud! Boo-hoo if its not what you expected you should be grateful you recieved something! Bunch of whingers!

  19. How many other people aside from Oprahs audience that day received diamond necklaces? None? Then stop complaining and try being grateful.
