To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Twilight, Catawiki experts imagined how much the saga’s most iconic objects would fetch at auction today
From Bella’s rusted red truck to Edward’s grand piano, these are the items fans would fight over in a 2025 auction — glitter not included
Amsterdam, 30 September - Twenty years ago, a girl moved to Forks, Washington, and changed pop culture forever–mostly by sitting in silence, biting her lip, and making millions of us believe a vampire boyfriend was peak romance. Twilight turns 20 this month, and whether you loved it, hated it, or ironically tweeted about it in 2016, there’s no denying: it lives rent-free in our collective memory. Just last week, author Stephenie Meyer revealed she has ideas for a sequel, stirring fresh excitement around the saga. To celebrate this cultural benchmark, Catawiki, the leading online marketplace for special objects, asked its experts: what if Twilight’s most iconic items went to auction today?
Some would fetch small fortunes. Others, not so much (sorry, microscope from the lab scene). Here’s what would spark a bidding war in 2025–and probably reignite the Team Edward vs Team Jacob debate all over again according to our experts:
1. Bella Swan’s 1963 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup, Red, estimated value: €18.000.
The ultimate symbol of Bella's independence: equal parts rusty, reliable, and solid metal. “It’s not just a vehicle; it’s emotional infrastructure,” commented Franco Vigorito, car expert at Catawiki. “C-10 models from the early 1960s are known for their solid build and utilitarian charm, and values have steadily increased for well-preserved examples.”
2. Edward Cullen’s Steinway & Sons Grand Piano, estimated value: €40,000-50,000
Scene-stealing and serenade-ready, Edward’s piano is where he composed Bella’s Lullaby, and played it like only a 109-year-old sensitive vampire could. While the specific brand and model have shifted between scenes, the instrument has always remained a grand piano—most memorably, a Steinway in Breaking Dawn, when Edward plays alongside Bella and Renésme. “This is a dream piece for both film fans and piano collectors,” said Simone Sedda, musical instruments expert. “When we talk about Steinway grand pianos in very good condition, the pricing typically starts around €40,000 but can go up well into the €200,000-€300,000 range.”
3. Bella’s Engagement Ring (oval stone, Edwardian Design), estimated value: €3,500-4,000case
Simple, vintage, and emotionally loaded, Bella’s engagement ring is one of the saga’s most recognisable costume pieces. The design is inspired by early 20th-century Edwardian rings, typically featuring oval stones and delicate detailing, a style increasingly popular. “Jewellery from the Edwardian era is admired for its craftsmanship and subtle elegance. This type of design has remained tasteful and timeless,” according to Laura Treviño Moreno, jewellery expert at Catawiki.
While the exact model of Bella’s ring is unlikely to be found, given its vintage design, for those wanting to draw inspiration from Bella’s ring, modern pieces with the same classy feel can be found on Catawiki, such as this natural diamond, white gold ring.
4. Edward’s Volvo S60R / Volvo C30 T5 (2008, Silver), both models estimated value at €10.000
The most consistent character in the Twilight saga? Possibly Edward’s Volvo. Calm under pressure, surprisingly fast, and always parked exactly where it needed to be. “This model combines Swedish engineering with a sporty edge,” said Arjan Rietveld, Catawiki’s car expert. “Its value has remained stable due to solid performance and build quality.”
5. Bella’s Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX series, estimated value: €100-250
In New Moon, Charlie gives Bella this camera for her birthday. A standard point-and-shoot that captured an entire era of emo despair. “Panasonic models like this represent the golden era of pre-smartphone photography. Mass-produced, sure, but full of nostalgia,” said Edwin Molenaar, camera expert at Catawiki. “In fact we’ve already seen digital compact cameras making a comeback, and there’s a stable demand for them on our platform.”
6. Alice Cullen’s Porsche 911 Turbo (2007, Yellow), estimated value: €75.000
Only Alice could escape to Italy in this kind of style. A vivid pop of colour in an otherwise monochrome franchise — and a high-performance nod to “Twilight’s” rich-girl energy. Franco Vigorito, car expert at Catawiki, said it best, “It’s rare, flashy, and 100% collector-grade.”
7. Edward’s Ray-Ban Sunglasses, estimated value: €150
He wore them to school. He wore them to sparkle. He wore them when he couldn’t deal with Bella. “The Wayfarer’s design hasn’t changed much since the 1950s, which is exactly why it holds up: understated, classic, and just aloof enough,” says Imee Montbord, fashion and eyewear expert at Catawiki.
8. Jacob Black’s Harley-Davidson Sprint Motorcycle, estimated value: €4,000
Enter the wolves. When New Moon, second movie in the franchise, took a darker, more muscle-fuelled turn, Jacob Black came mounted on a black Harley-Davidson Sprint. The werewolves weren’t just faster; they were rule-breakers, adrenaline chasers, and occasionally shirtless in the rain–and the bike matched the energy. “The Sprint stands out for its race engineering in a road-legal frame,” remarked John Searle, Catawiki’s category lead and motorcycle expert. “Agile and compact, it’s still a favourite among riders who want performance without bulk.”
Bella's favourite book–and the ultimate ode to doomed, obsessive love. She reads it throughout the saga, often when things are falling apart (emotionally or supernaturally). “First editions of Emily Brontë novels are among the most enduring literary collectibles. The emotional intensity coupled with the gothic appeal, it’s a title that never really goes out of style,” commented Sebastian Arthur Hau, books expert at Catawiki. Some editions reach extraordinary figures, while others remain attractively priced—such as this special illustrated edition, which sold for €1,200 on Catawiki.
10. The Lab Microscope (AmScope M150), retail value €150
Not everyone has space for a grand piano or a yellow Porsche in their life – but nostalgia? That fits anywhere. Whether you're a collector, a casual browser, or someone still clinging to their Team Edward hoodie, Catawiki has weekly auctions that cater to all sorts of audiences.
