Margot Robbie has captured widespread attention during the press tour for her latest film, Wuthering Heights, with not only her fashion but also her striking jewellery choices. The pieces she has showcased complement the film’s intense themes of passion and obsession, making her jewellery collection a focal point at every event. This article explores the significant items in Margot Robbie’s jewellery collection, valued collectively at around $11 million, which she has worn to promote the film.
Custom Signet Rings Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Words
Margot Robbie and her co-star Jacob Elordi each wore matching 18-carat gold signet rings designed by UK-based Cece Jewellery, valued at approximately $5,000 per piece. These hand-enamelled rings depict two skeletons embracing amidst thorns and are inscribed with the quote,
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same,”
taken directly from Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. The rings represent the doomed lovers Catherine and Heathcliff, with their initials engraved, as well as the dates “1847-2026,” marking the novel’s original publication year and the release year of the film.
Cece Fein-Hughes, the designer behind Cece Jewellery London, explained on social media the emotional significance of the pieces. She described the rings as telling
“a story of passion, devotion, and wild romance”
and highlighted that the skeleton motif was matched to the iconic film poster pose.
“What an honour it was to create matching pieces for Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi, celebrating their time filming together as Catherine & Heathcliff in the new Wuthering Heights.” – Cece Fein-Hughes, Designer, Cece Jewellery London
“Gifted to Jacob by Margot, the piece features two entwined skeletons in the exact pose of the iconic film poster, a quiet reminder that love never truly dies.” – Cece Fein-Hughes, Designer, Cece Jewellery London
“As time passes and everything else withers away, what remains is the enduring bond between two souls.” – Cece Fein-Hughes, Designer, Cece Jewellery London
Jonathan Pratt, Managing Director of Dawsons Auctioneers, noted how these rings reflect a broader trend towards jewellery with lasting personal meaning. He commented,
“Buyers are increasingly drawn to jewellery that feels personal and emotionally anchored, something with a story behind it that can be passed down.”
“What we’re seeing here is a move away from trend-led jewellery and toward pieces that carry narrative, symbolism, and longevity.” – Jonathan Pratt, Managing Director, Dawsons Auctioneers
“Signet rings, in particular, have evolved from purely heraldic objects into modern heirlooms carrying symbolic meaning, and this surge in interest reflects that shift.” – Jonathan Pratt, Managing Director, Dawsons Auctioneers
Elizabeth Taylor’s Historic Taj Mahal Necklace Adorns the LA Premiere
At the Los Angeles premiere of Wuthering Heights, Margot Robbie wore a diamond necklace steeped in profound history and symbolism. This remarkable piece dates back to the early 17th century as a gift from Mughal Emperor Jehangir to Empress Nur Jahan. Passed down through their family lineage, the jewel was eventually reset into a ruby and gold necklace by Cartier and purchased by Richard Burton in 1972 as a birthday present for Elizabeth Taylor.
The necklace bears a Persian inscription referencing Nur Jahan and the message “Love is Everlasting.” It was originally worn as an amulet before becoming part of Elizabeth Taylor’s celebrated collection. Tim Mendelson, Trustee of the Elizabeth Taylor Estate, underlined the necklace’s connection to love’s enduring power across time and death.
“Elizabeth cherished the symbolism of jewellery, and no other piece in her legendary collection is more connected to epic, undeniable, and tempestuous love that transcends time and even death than the Taj Mahal Diamond.” – Tim Mendelson, Trustee, Elizabeth Taylor Estate
Regarding the necklace’s value, Jonathan Pratt highlighted the significant boost it gained from its Hollywood provenance. Richard Burton’s 40th birthday gift to Elizabeth Taylor elevated the jewellery’s status to an iconic level, with auctioned prices reaching over $8.8 million.
“Reported figures for the gift range from $470,000 to $520,000. Later, at Christie’s New York in 2011, it realised $8,818,500.” – Jonathan Pratt, Managing Director, Dawsons Auctioneers
Pratt also reflected on the temporary visibility such pieces gain when worn by celebrities, referring to them as brief exhibitions that capture global attention before returning to secure storage.
“When a celebrity borrows an archive piece like this, the jewel becomes a short-lived exhibition: watched by millions, replayed endlessly, then returned to controlled storage.” – Jonathan Pratt, Managing Director, Dawsons Auctioneers
“Jewellery, particularly when linked to a major couture house, and a landmark film or Hollywood, can command significant prices.” – Jonathan Pratt, Managing Director, Dawsons Auctioneers

Jonathan Pratt estimated the value of this exceptional jewellery between $2.7 million and $4 million, noting the blend of rare coloured diamonds with expert design and global visibility places the piece alongside museum-quality collections.
“Jewellery of this calibre, combining exceptional-coloured diamonds with designer provenance and global media exposure, could reasonably be valued at $2.7-4m.” – Jonathan Pratt, Managing Director, Dawsons Auctioneers
“These are pieces that sit comfortably alongside museum-grade jewels and private collections.” – Jonathan Pratt, Managing Director, Dawsons Auctioneers

A Tribute to the Brontë Sisters: Replica Mourning Bracelet at the UK Premiere
At the UK premiere, Margot Robbie wore a mourning bracelet replicating one originally made for Charlotte Brontë, crafted from hand-woven hair believed to be that of Emily and Anne Brontë. This bracelet was designed by Dilara Findikoglu, commissioned by Robbie’s stylist Andrew Mukamal, and created in collaboration with the Brontë Parsonage Museum and teams in Haworth.
Robin Wright, Managing Director of Wyedean, which managed the production, highlighted the intensity of the project, describing the intricate design process and the swift four-week timeline to complete the piece. The bracelet features 280 braided threads in various shades to mimic natural hair texture, fitted with silver clasps crafted by McCarty London.
