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.          

Iconic Jewelry from Movies Down the Ages

It is almost impossible to say with any degree of certainty, which movie has seen its glamorous actress wear the best in jewelry. Some say it’s the brooch and emerald earrings Scarlett O’Hara wore in Gone with the Wind while others will opt for the diamond ensemble of Marylyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Julia Roberts $1.35 million necklace in Pretty Woman and Kate Winslet’s blue diamond necklace in The Titanic are other top contenders for the best jewelry in movies rankings.

However, no list can ignore the claims of the pearl strands necklace Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The first scene where she as Holly Golightly stands in front of Tiffany’s early morning wearing the black Givenchy dress, diamond hair clip and 5-strand pearl necklace was what defined Hollywood in the early 1960s and still emulated today.

Audrey Hepburn costume jewelry which is replicas of what she wore in the film is available and is a guaranteed head-turner even today. Top of the pile is Holly Premium 5 Strand pearl and crystal necklace or the one with pearls only. The Holly pearl tassel earrings are another collector’s item. You can also try the Holly oversized black earrings or the Holly oval stone beaded earrings – all at prices that will not break your Bank.

The advantage of buying Audrey Hepburn costume jewelry is that apart from wearing the most fashionable items, you get to relive those old Hollywood times that have now become a part of folklore.
