All-Time Favorite Jewelry from Films

 Throughout the history of films, jewelry has played an important role in completing a character’s look. Some of the most magnificent pieces have been epitomes of luxury and opulence that would make any actress swoon in delight not to speak of the legions of women who flaunt replicas of the pieces with pride.

Jewelry has been symbolic in certain movies such as the Titanic. In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Marilyn Monroe wears the 24.04 carats Moon of Baroda diamond which forms the centerpiece of a lavish necklace. Centuries before, this canary yellow diamond had adorned the neck of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Marie Antoinette. Today, it is with a private collector.

Films of Audrey Hepburn have seen the actress wear pieces of jewelry that are still in fashion even decades after the movies were released. Take Audrey Hepburn earrings worn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Some of the creations inspired by the movie include oval stone beaded earrings, single pearl earrings, and faux diamond earrings. All of these pieces are available in various designs and patterns.

Necklaces have not taken a back seat either. An all-time favorite is the five-strand pearl necklace held together by a single clasp at the center which Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly wears in the opening scene of the movie. The iconic necklace was designed by Roger Scemama, a Frenchman who created jewelry for designer Hubert de Givenchy.

Similar to Audrey Hepburn earrings and necklace, Kate Blanchet’s jewelry in Blue Jasmine is a landmark in films. Her diamond pendant, earrings, and a gorgeous emerald diamond engagement ring will remain in the memories of movie-goers forever.

These are some examples only of famous jewelry in films worth dying for.
