Wonder Woman 1984

When Italian jewellery designer and philanthropist Elsa Peretti joined Tiffany & Co in the 1970s, the US was in the throes of second-wave feminism, which makes her Bone cuff a natural choice for Wonder Woman 1984, starring Gal Gadot. Gadot wears a white gown with the yellow-gold version of the Bone cuff, as well as several of Tiffany’s Diamonds by the Yard necklaces. Get yours for a bank-busting US$16,000.

I Care a Lot

A court-appointed guardian who is also a ruthless scammer, Marla Grayson, played by Rosamund Pike, takes advantage of the elderly by exploiting loopholes in the legal system before bleeding them dry of their retirement funds, possessions and property. I Care a Lot is a Netflix crime thriller, which is centred around a secret stash of diamonds worth millions.

3

No Time to Die

James Bond is known for his impossibly fast supercars, penchant for martinis and Omega wristwatches. Now, for the very first time, a high jewellery brand has partnered with the franchise, with Chopard dressing Ana de Armas, who plays CIA agent Paloma, in 140 carats worth of diamonds for the forthcoming film No Time to Die.

4

Emma

Autumn de Wilde’s beautiful adaptation of the Jane Austen novel Emma stars Anya Taylor-joy and comes fully furnished with sumptuous Georgian settings and charming cinematography. But for the magpies among us, it is the exquisite jewellery carefully chosen by British costume designer Alexandra Byrne that transports us back a few hundred years to the fictional village of Highbury. Gilded headpieces are worn with coral pendant earrings and cluster brooches, as are flower-shaped necklaces and pearl drop earrings.

Death on the Nile

There’s no question that Kenneth Branagh’s new adaptation of the classic Agatha Christie novel Death

on the Nile is a feast for the eyes. Christie was no stranger to beautiful jewels and her detective novels often detailed the theft of hefty diamonds, priceless rubies and strings of pearls. In another shout-out to Tiffany & Co, the jeweller’s stunning 128-carat Tiffany Diamond steals the spotlight in this glitzy motion picture.
