Marilyn Monroe – Jewelry Icon

February 6, 2012
Marilyn Monroe – Jewelry Icon

When it comes to exquisite luxury jewelry, no woman shines more brilliantly than Marilyn Monroe. Decades after romancing the world with “ Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” and shaking up the jewelry scene, Marilyn Monroe continues to be the most emulated woman on the planet. By the early 1950s, Marilyn Monroe had already captivated the public with her signature blonde hair, white dress and seductive persona. But it was 1953’s “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” that marked Marilyn Monroe’s ascension into jewelry stardom and made her a coveted spokeswoman for many of the era’s most in vogue designers. In the famous scene where she sings, “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend,” Marilyn takes the precious gem to new heights: With thick diamond bangles layered over long pink gloves, a statement necklace with oversized diamonds and large diamond earrings, Marilyn is a vision of lavish jewelry. And it is only fitting that Norma Jean wore the most stunning piece from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” to the movie’s premier: The Moon of Baroda, a breathtaking 24.04 carat pear-shaped yellow diamond once worn by Marie Antoinette. That necklace is the ultimate statement of Marilyn’s icon status. When Marilyn wore diamonds, the world took notice.  So it’s no surprise that from that point on, Marilyn became the ultimate spokeswoman for diamond jewelry . Although her personal collection included mostly costume jewelry, she was able to develop her signature lavish style with the help of luxury jewelry giants such as Da Beers, who always ensured Marilyn was donning exquisite diamonds during public events. Stunning earrings, sleek necklaces and brilliant flashes of light followed her every footstep and featured prominently in her other landmark film, “Some Like It Hot.” The icon wore so many diamonds throughout her career that she received an award from the Jewelry Academy accompanied with the following note: “To Marilyn Monroe, the best friend a diamond ever had.” One notable piece in Marilyn Monroe’s personal jewelry collection is a platinum and diamond eternity band featuring 35 baguette diamonds around the band, given to her by Joe DiMaggio after their wedding in 1954. Recognizing Marilyn’s love for pearls, DiMaggio also presented his bride with a 16-inch strand of pearls featuring 44 exquisite Mikimoto pearls. The Golden Globe nominated film “My Week With Marilyn” is the latest testament to Marilyn Monroe’s timeless style. In the movie, Oscar Nominee Michelle Williams emulates Marilyn’s flair for decadent jewelry to a T. And the fabulous Vogue photos of Michelle dressed as Marilyn are just as stunning. From the famous earrings with strands of dangling diamonds to the feminine diamond bracelets, Williams captured the essence of the style for which Marilyn Monroe is still remembered – and emulated –today. From the stunning Moon of Baroda to the heavy, bold-impact diamond necklaces, Marilyn Monroe’s love affair with diamonds is one for the ages. Diamond & Estate Trust’s collection of loose diamonds , including colored diamonds, and exquisite vintage earrings and necklaces will help you capture the best of Marilyn Monroe’s style.
