By Sarah Smithon Monday, 8 May 2006 Victoria Beckham has spent almost £60,000 on a spree at a jewellery store in New York.
According to staff at Jacob the Jeweler, Posh Spice splashed her cash around "like it was nothing", buying an £8,000 stainless steel multi-time zone watch for footballer husband David, as well as spending thousands more on herself.
The 32-year-old, who once claimed that she wanted to be "more famous than Persil Automatic", bought a £43,000 18-carat white diamond watch set in rose gold, as well as a pair of five-carat diamond pave hoop earrings with a price tag of £8,000.
Ms Beckham spent less than half an hour in the store, which is frequented by heavy-spending hip hop stars.
One employee was stunned at how freely Posh splurged her cash. "Most stars come in and order things. But Victoria just bought what pleased the eye, spending money like it was nothing."
Jacob the Jeweler has designed pieces for the likes of Naomi Campbell, Wyclef Jean, 50 Cent and Jennifer Lopez and recently launched a website.
