On Nov. 19 and Nov. 20, _Twilight_ fans flocked to the world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California, for an [auction of a lifetime](http://www.instyle.com/news/twilight-series-auction-props-bella-wedding-gown-for-sale). According to a press release, over 1,000 bidders came out in person and online to get a chance to own a piece of the beloved franchise.

Thanks to Prop Store, a film and TV memorabilia company, and Lionsgate, the studio behind the _Twilight_ saga, over 900 original props, costumes, and set decoration pieces were available to bid on during the two day auction, and plenty went at high prices. Bella Swan’s ([Kristen Stewart](http://instyle.com/celebrity/kristen-stewart)) engagement ring sold for a whopping $16,800, and Edward Cullen’s ([Robert Pattinson](http://instyle.com/celebrity/robert-pattinson)) journal sold at $7,800\. Also up for auction was Jacob Black’s ([Taylor Lautner](http://instyle.com/celebrity/taylor-lautner)) wedding invitation, Aro’s (Michael Sheen) Volturi-carved wooden throne, and Bella’s first day of school costume.

The films have a global following, which was very evident with the worldwide response from bidders over the weekend. For _Twilight_ fans, this auction offered an amazing opportunity to own a piece of the phenomenon and we were proud to partner with Lionsgate on the project.”
