HOW BRILLIANT

Cartier isn’t the only jewellery house making appearances in film. Here are other spectacular creations that have graced the silver screen

Pretty Woman (1990)

The ruby-and-diamond necklace that Julia Roberts reaches for — and Richard Gere snaps the jewellery case closed on — was designed by Fred in 1989 and reportedly cost US$250,000.

Moulin Rouge (2001)

Designed by Stefano Canturi, the platinum necklace set with more than 1,000 diamonds worn by Nicole Kidman was expected to fetch more than £660,000. But Canturi withdrew the lot when he decided he couldn’t part with it.

Anna Karenina (2012)

Chanel loaned its ambassador Keira Knightley US$2 million of jewellery for the film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s novel, including a triple-strand white gold-and-diamond necklace befitting of the film’s socialite heroine.

Diana (2013)

This Princess of Wales biopic featured Chopard’s watches, bags and jewellery from its Happy Diamonds and high jewellery collections, including a three-row necklace of 92 pear- and cushion-cut diamonds.

The Great Gatsby (2013)

Tiffany & Co. teamed up with the film’s costume designer to design Jazz Age jewels, such as the Savoy diamond-and-pearl headpiece that adorned Carey Mulligan’s bob. The House then launched the Ziegfeld Collection, based on archival designs from the 1920s.
