Big icons and bigger diamonds
The silver screen would be just a screen without the glittering accessories of the icons that grace it. Just one solitary glance of an expertly paired necklace and earrings offers a portal into a world of impossible, bewitching glamour. So as purveyors of fine jewellery, we feel it’s only appropriate to celebrate the film role models of today and yesteryear alike, for the way they continue to inspire us by their impeccable style. As Rachel Zoe suggests “style is a way to say who you are without having to speak”. So let’s see what these icons’ jewellery says about them.
Marilyn Monroe
Dazzling, bold and curvaceous, Monroe’s earrings were a true expression of exuberance. Her trademark glistening diamond orbs evoked her powerful, feminine personality. In spite of her tragic end, Monroe’s spirit lives on in the extravagant jewellery choices of today’s starlets.
Elizabeth Taylor
Breathtaking and unmistakeable, Elizabeth Taylor’s reputation for excess certainly didn’t stop at her jewellery. Through loud yet tasteful adornments, the actress brought an elegant sophistication to what would now be described as bling.
Grace Kelly
An instantly recognisable, classic beauty, Grace Kelly’s taste in accessories were testament to her status as a grown-up fashion icon. Delighting daughters and mothers alike, Grace Kelly’s jewellery was fit for a queen, which is only appropriate really.
Blake Lively
Perhaps it’s no surprise that the star of Gossip Girl’s jewellery has always been the talk of the town, in the fashion world and beyond. Though composed of the finest metals and jewels, abstract angles and distorted shapes add an urban, contemporary edge to the head-turning glamour.
Uma Thurman
With diamonds so sharp they must have been crafted with the sword from Kill Bill, Uma Thurman’s accessories exhibit a dazzling, classic opulence. However, though the materials may be traditional, the form of her jewellery is reminiscent of eastern art and design - a testament to the originality of her unique screen presence.
Gwyneth Paltrow
A highly vocal advocate of the Earth’s natural beauty, it’s no surprise that Paltrow’s diamond ensembles harness the mysterious wonder of nature and the elements. Such stunning designs make for the kind of jewellery you’d never want to consciously un-couple from.
