Iconic Jewellery in Films, Recreate Your Favourite Look!
With Manchester Film Festival returning from 19 to 29 March 2026, the city is about to feel even more cinematic than usual. It’s the kind of week that makes you want to book tickets, wear a great coat, and pretend your walk to dinner is a tracking shot.
And while films give us the big emotions, jewellery gives us the close ups. A necklace that catches the light at exactly the right moment. Earrings that say more than a line of dialogue. A ring that turns a character into a legend. In this edit, we’re rounding up the most talked about jewellery in films. We’re also sharing simple style notes, so you can bring a little screen magic into real life, without it feeling like fancy dress.
This piece is the perfect example of iconic jewellery in films. It’s the first item we think of when we speak about this topic, and one of the most beautiful sapphire pendants we’ve ever seen.
There’s something mesmerising about this piece of Hollywood jewellery. It becomes the centrepiece in every shot. Every eye locks onto Rose when it’s draped around her neck. That deep, aquatic blue captures the spirit of the ocean.
Want to recreate it yourself? We absolutely adore this sapphire. The Heart of the Ocean is a wonderful testament to craftsmanship, and our sapphire halo pendant is the closest item we have to this beautiful work of art.
If we are talking screen style icons, Audrey Hepburn has to be up there with the best. She made elegance look effortless, and in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, that layered pearl necklace does half the storytelling before she even speaks.
It is not just pretty, it is pure character building. The pearls give Holly Golightly that polished, perfectly put together energy. Even when you sense there is so much more going on underneath. Each strand catches the light, frames the face, and pulls you straight into her world. Honestly, it deserves a cinema close up. And yes, we can already picture the Manchester Film Festival crowd nodding along.
If you love that quietly refined look, our pearl jewellery collection is full of pieces that bring the same graceful charm, the kind you can wear with a crisp shirt in the day, or with a black dress when you want to feel a little bit iconic.
One of the most iconic jewellery moments in film has to be the ruby necklace in Pretty Woman. Julia Roberts wears it like a turning point. And honestly, that is exactly what it is. A cascade of pear-shaped rubies framed by diamonds, pure theatre, pure glamour, and the sort of sparkle that makes you sit up a little straighter on the sofa.
What we love most is what it does for the story. It is not just a beautiful prop, it is a symbol. In that moment, Vivian steps into a new version of herself. Not because jewellery magically fixes everything, but because the right piece can change how you feel, and how you carry yourself. It’s a reminder that confidence is sometimes as simple as putting on something that makes you feel unstoppable.
That idea sits right at the heart of what we do. We want you to feel uplifted, empowered, and beautifully seen. If you love the look of Pretty Woman’s ruby and diamond magic, our closest design is our Ruby and Diamond Halo Set Bracelet, a piece that gives you that same rich red glow, with diamonds catching the light every time you move.
Did you know Grace Kelly’s engagement ring in High Society was not a prop at all?
During filming, she was engaged to Prince Rainier of Monaco. The ring was so spectacular the production let it take centre stage. It underlined the polished elegance of her character, Tracy Lord.
This is where jewellery in films gets really interesting, because it steps outside the script. A real engagement ring, worn in real life, becomes part of the storytelling on screen. It adds a quiet layer of authenticity. The kind that makes a scene feel more intimate, even if you cannot quite put your finger on why. It is exactly the sort of detail people will be talking about over coffee at Manchester Film Festival.
And then there is the ring itself. That emerald cut diamond, bold, crisp, and impossibly glamorous, is the definition of a grand romantic gesture, but with perfect restraint. If you love that look, and want your own modern take on the same mood, our Emerald Cut Diamond Single Stone Ring captures that clean lined sparkle, with a diamond cut to hold the light in the most beautiful way.
Glamour, luxury, grandeur. The best thing about this movie is the extravagant lifestyle our protagonist lands in. And one of the main ways it shows that wealth is through its jewellery.
Once more, this is Michelle Yeoh’s personal engagement ring. It feels like she put a part of her soul into the movie. We love that creative choice, it makes this one of the most iconic pieces of jewellery in films.
Emeralds represent wealth and power, and Crazy Rich Asians put those themes right in your face. Maybe you want to feel power, and you absolutely should. Our rendition is there to make you feel like a protagonist. In your own story, you are the main character.
Now I’m sure you will agree that Olivia Coleman is the definition of a national treasure.
Her presence on any screen is perfect enough to keep anybody invested. It’s no different to her performance in The Favourite, which came out in 2018, to critical acclaim. We know the crowd at Manchester Film Festival would know it’s a masterpiece!
When it comes to iconic jewellery in cinema, this film has it in abundance. This film wants to portray royalty. And one thing we always associate with the monarchy is jewellery. Crowns, sceptres, and of course, gorgeous earrings.
The pieces of jewellery that clearly stood out to us were the pair of pearl earrings that Anne herself wore when dealing with her court. It’s a beautiful yet subtle addition, an extra touch to an already extravagant and glamorous portrayal of a queen.
Now this is a ring fit for a woman like Daisy Buchanan!
Luckily, Tom Buchanan knew this and popped down on one knee with a gorgeous Marquise Cut Diamond Ring as he knew that only something special would steal her heart.
It’s a perfect detail that fleshes out Daisy and Tom’s relationship. It’s full of shiny things, because their main concern is money. Daisy wants to feel secure, both emotionally and financially. This is Tom’s way of demonstrating both of those ideals because deep down, he knows the type of woman she is.
But I tell you what, he does have amazing taste! If you love the look of Daisy’s ring, take a look at our Marquise Cut Diamond Single Stone Ring. We think it shines in the same beautiful ways. A beautiful ring to cement its place in our iconic jewellery in films collection.
I can’t begin to tell you how happy we are to have the excuse to talk about Princess Diana’s engagement ring!
Kristen Stewart’s performance is phenomenal when portraying the late but great Princess of Wales, but we’re ecstatic over their amazing attention to detail when using a wonderful replica of one of the most famous engagement rings ever to grace our eyes.
Her ring is full of royal energy. It’s also beautiful in its own right, and thankfully, we have our own sapphire ring to share with you. We still consider it one of our all-time great products. And personally, from us, we truly believe this is one of the beautiful pieces of iconic jewellery in films, and we would go so far as to say in history!
Let us know in our socials if you feel we left any pieces out, would love to hear your thoughts!
We also want every piece of jewellery to star your life! Whether it’s sapphire pendants, pearl necklaces, ruby bracelets, diamond rings, emerald rings or pearl earrings? Our job is to help tell your story.
