We all want them! Titanic necklace and other chic movie jewelry

The famous pendant was a bit of a fake: Asprey & Garrad created it specifically for the film and used a real sapphire, but it’s framed not in diamonds, but much cheaper cubic zirconias. Thus, the pendant costs “only” $10,000. But it wasn’t until later, when the movie was released and audiences began to flock to cinemas and buy T-shirts with the faces of their favorite characters, that jewelers created the exact same jewelry, but this time with real diamonds. A 170-carat sapphire with 65 diamonds was sold at a charity auction for $2.2 million.

Marilyn Monroe not only sang about the fact that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, she also openly demonstrated it. Wearing a pink dress and the iconic Harry Winston necklace set with a 24-carat yellow “Moon of Baroda” diamond, this is how we will always remember her. Already at the time of filming, this stone was about 500 years old and there were already enough legends and stories around it. We don’t know what trips he took after the shooting, but after a while the diamond showed up without a necklace at an auction and was valued at a billion dollars.

Remember the scene in Pretty Woman where Richard Gere hands Julia Robert a box and closes it at the last minute? According to legend, this scene was not recorded, but the actors’ improvisation turned out to be so lively and sincere that it was included in the final cut. Inside the box was a necklace with 23 pear-shaped rubies and a scattering of diamonds, made for the film by French jewelry house Fred Joaillier. At the time of filming, the cost of the product was $250,000, and after the overwhelming success of the film, its price rose to $1.35 million.

The Moulin Rouge necklace is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive in the history of cinema – only its rental cost 10 million dollars. It’s funny that this necklace became kind of a quirk of Nicole Kidman. Initially, a piece of jewelry with Swarovski crystals was made for the shooting, but she refused to wear it. Thus was born the Satine necklace, composed of 1308 diamonds, 134 carats. Its creator, the Australian jeweler Stefano Kanturi, could not part with it, withdrew it from the auction and left it for a personal collection.

Scarlett was a real fashionista, who at the same time could sew a dress from a curtain. Remember this story, when she went to town to find money and save Tara, and since no one had decent clothes left, the dress had to be sewn from curtains. The costume designers had a difficult task, and they coped with it – the heroine’s outfits had an impact on the fashion of that time. But Scarlett’s mourning brooch is vintage jewelry that once belonged to costume designer Walter Plunkett’s mother.

No, this necklace was not specially made for the film – Finnish jeweler Bjorn Wekström simply didn’t have time to complete the order, but Lucas chose several pieces from his Space Silver “space collection”. The thing is, the designer was a huge space fan and timed this collection to coincide with the year of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

In one of the film’s scenes, the main character Angelina Jolie appears in a luxurious choker encrusted with six old-cut diamonds and framed with diamond leaves. This $1.1 million choker was reimagined from a vintage tiara by jeweler Robert Prokop to form the basis of Angelina Jolie’s debut jewelry collection, Style of Jolie.

For The Great Gatsby, Tiffany & Co created a whole collection of jewelry. The fact is that in the 1920s, the era of cinema, the business was flourishing, so to recreate the era, it was enough to go back to the archives. The cutest of the collections is a ring for the hero DiCaprio with a daisy, a symbol of his eternal love. From the memorable – Savoy tiara with white and yellow diamonds and pearls. Experts estimate its cost at around $335,000.

The most expensive piece of jewelry was a necklace with a bright yellow diamond, named after the company – Tiffany. It was created specifically for screening. But in the end, the public will most remember the chic pearl necklace with a diamond rose that adorned Audrey Hepburn’s slim neck. He went down in history with a black dress, high hair and big sunglasses.

The jewelry worn by Natalie Portman is not at all an invention of costume designers. Anne Boleyn absolutely loved her talisman pendant with the Latin letter “B”. It can be seen in the portraits of the future Queen of England. But what happened to the pendant then, no one knows, maybe it was inherited by Anna’s daughter and is still kept somewhere in the Buckingham Palace collections.

Infinite Jewelry Co. has become the official jewelry house for the saga, and Bella’s engagement ring was personally created by jewelry brand founder Shelly Ashton. She would have been assisted by Stephenie Meyer. As a result, they got a massive Victorian-style ring, adorned with diamonds. At a thematic auction in Hollywood, the ring was sold for 16.8 thousand dollars.

“Cleopatra” became one of the most expensive paintings of its time, and Elizabeth Taylor changed more than 60 outfits during filming. But the designers decided to save on jewelry. All you see is high quality jewelry created from the real jewelry of the Great Queen. But the snake-shaped bracelet with a hidden dial is Elizabeth Taylor’s favorite watch from Bvlgari. The actress insisted that they be part of the image, but it was not just a whim: the snake symbol is very important in the history of the Empress. Well, after a photoshoot dedicated to the movie’s release, watch sales skyrocketed.
