Film Jewels: jewelry as the protagonist of the seventh art

Since the beginning of cinema, jewellery has played a fundamental role in the stories on the big screen, both as the true protagonists of the plots and as fundamental pieces in the creation and characterisation of the characters. 

Jewels in cinema are not mere accessories: they are narrative elements that enrich the story and add depth to the characters. For this reason, in this article we show you some of the most iconic pieces of the seventh art, we are sure you know them!

The pearl necklace from Breakfast at Tiffany's

One of the most iconic examples of jewellery in cinema is the pearl necklace worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. This jewel not only represents the elegance and glamour of the protagonist, Holly Golightly, but also symbolises her desire for a life of luxury and her search for identity. In this iconic scene of the famous actress in front of a jewellery store, it is clear that jewellery is a reflection of the life that Holly yearns for.

Our collection of pearl jewellery will also make you feel like a film star. Designs in 18-carat gold that evoke elegance and sophistication.

Titanic's Heart of the Sea

For lovers of romantic films, the stunning necklace worn by Rose in Titanic has certainly not gone unnoticed. It is the famous “Heart of the Sea”, a dazzling piece of jewellery that becomes a central element of the plot, symbolising lost love and tragedy. 

Throughout its story, the heart-shaped diamond necklace connects the main characters, Jack and Rose, and becomes a tangible reminder of their love, as well as the social class and differences that separate them. From there, one of the joys of cinema that we will all record.

Discover our most romantic designs and find your own heart of the sea to give to the person you love most.

The Great Gatsby's Jewels

Jewellery in film also provides context for the story of the film. A clear example can be found in The Great Gatsby, a film set in the 1920s that showcases the most representative jewellery of that era. Opulent and extravagant pieces that serve to reflect the character and personality of the characters in the film, as well as the aesthetics of those years.

Diamonds from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

We couldn't help but mention the famous film starring Marilyn Monroe. In this classic film that combines the comedy and musical genres with a touch of unmatched glamour, its protagonist feels a great fascination for jewelry and considers it a symbol of status and security. 

The film reflects how jewelry represents not only wealth, but also power and attraction in the context of romantic relationships. And, from this story, the popular song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" was born, which encapsulates the idea that, although love can be ephemeral, jewelry (and especially diamonds) are a lasting treasure.

80 Years of Love, a cinema necklace

At José Luis Joyerías we also have pieces from the cinema. To mark the anniversary of ¡HOLA! magazine, we have exclusively designed a piece of fine jewellery worthy of the red carpet. 80 Years of Love, a spectacular 18-carat white gold necklace with 80 diamonds and natural heart-cut rubies. Earrings made with the same precious stones complete this incredible set.

These are just a few examples of the special relationship between the world of cinema and jewellery. Jewellery in the seventh art is not just an accessory, but is also the protagonist of the plot and reflects the evolution of the characters, as well as the aesthetics of each era. That's why we enjoy the joys of cinema. Don't forget to visit our jewellery collection and find the next protagonists of your story.
