Stars and Glitz: Famous Celebrity Jewellery


Theron Charlize


The choice of Charlize Theron to wear the famous Bulgari Serpenti jewelry at the 2019 Oscars explained why this set is still among the most sought-after in high jewelry. Since the 1940s, the Serpenti line—which reflects the ideal mix of artistry and luxury—has been a Bulgari trademark. In Theron's case, the sculpture included delicate scalework in precious metals, with diamonds arranged to provide a lifelike sheen that matched a serpent's movement. Her delicate yet dramatic impact from the way it hung around her neck matched her sleek Dior gown exactly. This particular look helped support the reason the Serpenti collection still enthralls both celebrities and jewelry aficioners. Every item is created with hundreds of hours of meticulous work; each scale is uniquely carved and set to guarantee both beauty and flexibility. Theron's approach of the work demonstrated how, when combined with modern fashion, this ancient style might look absolutely modern.
