Cannes Film Festival may take the crown when it comes to jaw-dropping jewelry sparkling like the Côte d’Azur sun on La Croisette, but when it comes to the world’s rarest gems, bigger isn’t necessarily better. Case in point: the picks worn by celebrities at the Venice Film Festival this year.
While two-tone color pairings, tailoring and rare vintage have dominated at Venice Film Festival (hi, Taylor Russell in bubble-hem sheer-corseted spring/summer 1993 haute couture Chanel), brooches, juicy precious stones, chains and demure details have dominated in the jewelry stakes.
From Angelina Jolie’s archival Panthère brooch, worn originally by famed Greek opera singer Maria Callas, whom Jolie is playing in the upcoming biopic Maria, to the repurposed Louis Vuitton pearls strung over Cate Blanchett’s shoulders, keep reading to discover Vogue’s pick of the most coveted jewels in Italy’s chicest city.
