Jeweller shares the love with a Pretty Woman collection

Jeweller shares the love with a Pretty Woman collection

When the French house Fred agreed to make a diamond and ruby necklace for a risqué romcom starring Julia Roberts, it had no inkling of what a hit it would be.

Emma Roberts, the niece of actress and Pretty Woman star Julia Roberts, is the face of Fred’s new jewellery range. 

Jewellery and film go together hand in glove – or ring on finger, perhaps. There is something about celluloid’s ability to capture the dazzle of jewellery, and jewellery’s ability to shine in film that can linger long after the credits roll. Titanic’s Heart of the Ocean necklace, for example, and Holly Golightly’s Tiffany collier in Breakfast at Tiffany’s have become synonymous with the films themselves, even decades on.

So it is too with Pretty Woman, whose pièce de résistance is a diamond and ruby necklace given by Richard Gere’s Edward to Julia Roberts’ Vivian. In the film, Edward snaps the box containing the necklace shut as Vivian reaches in – an unscripted, spontaneous moment, according to lore, added to the final film due to its sheer joy.
