Netflix Original series Bridgerton has captivated audiences with its swoon-worthy characters, dialogues, engaging plotlines, costumes and intricate jewellery. Remember the first episode of season one titled “Diamond of the First Water”? It was not only a clever nod at the gemstone’s brilliance but also at Daphne’s social triumph as the season’s diamond, declared “flawless” by Queen Charlotte herself. While we get ready to binge-watch the second part of season three releasing on June 13 (“You must make haste” if you are yet to watch Part 1), what if we could recreate the Regency-era looks with Bridgerton-inspired jewellery for our next soirée?
The characters’ costume designers — Ellen Mirojnick, Sophie Canale and John Glaser — for seasons one, two and three, respectively, and jewellery designers are definitely one of the many important reasons that have maintained the Shondaland-produced Netflix show’s popularity since 2020. More so because there’s an entire department dedicated to jewellery, handcrafting each piece for various looks featured in the series.
Throughout the three seasons as well as in Queen Charlotte from the extended Bridgerton universe, the ladies are seen in elaborate gowns and corsetry. To match their overwhelming social calendar of balls and promenades, the debutantes and royalty of the Ton demanded exquisite Regency-era jewellery. We are talking about delicate diamond pieces by Daphne (played by Phoebe Dynevor), the viscountess’s Indian-inspired jewellery and not to forget Queen Charlotte’s (played by Golda Rosheuvel) statement necklaces (and the iconic wigs).
From diamante-collared necklaces, teardrop and girandole earrings, chunky rings and strands of pearls, here’s a list of Bridgeton-inspired jewellery as adorned by your favourite characters.

Pearl sets
Pearls are timeless. Plus, they perfectly complement women in the Bridgerton household who stick to icy blue, grey and white tones for their costumes. For instance, the three-strand lustrous pearl necklace on Violet Bridgerton (played by Ruth Gemmell) and the pearl bracelet with a gemstone suit her as the lady of the house. Even the younger girls in the series like Francesca Bridgerton (played by Hannah Dodd) and Penelope (played by Nicola Coughlan), who is soon to be a Bridgerton in Season 3, are seen in simple pearl necklaces complete with tear-drop earrings. Creating an aura of unmatched elegance, these Bridgerton-inspired pearl jewellery are perfect for multiple events, from brunch outings to family functions.

Dainty crystal and diamond sets
Daphne, the protagonist of the first season, is an epitome of refinement and elegance. Befitting a duchess, her demure style comes alive when she wears the family diamond sets, crystal wreath necklaces or dainty pendants in a chain. If you are fond of something that’s simple, unique and exudes royal grace, Swarovski crystal pieces, minimalist diamond and stone studded sets can be the perfect accessory for attending a formal event or dressing up for a special evening out.

Bead jewellery and semi-precious jewel sets
Eloise Bridgerton (played by Claudia Jessie) often wears a fancy cravat instead of a necklace. But on rare occasions where she does wear jewellery, she is seen in simple bead necklaces, matching earrings or her classic family jewels. In season three, her friends, Penelope and Cressida (played by Jessica Madsen), also wear youthful and eye-catching jewellery set in precious and semi-precious stones. Versatile enough to be paired in numerous styles, these Bridgerton jewellery showcase freshness with an understated charm fit for modern party wear.

Gemstone jewellery with an Indian touch
In season two, Kate (played by Simone Ashley) and Edwina (played by Charithra Chandran) wore gorgeous parures that masterfully celebrated their Indian heritage alongside the elegance of the Regency era. The Sharma sisters’ jewellery reminds us of those found in our grandmother’s velvet jewellery box. Their accessories include dangling earrings, kundan garland necklaces, and peacock motif pendants. Moreover, jewellery sets in gemstones resembling amethyst, emerald and garnet alongside diamante wreath necklaces adorn their delicate neckline perfectly.

Floral jewellery and eyelet pendants
While the Bridgerton women grace in minimalist and delicate jewellery, the Featheringtons wear accessories that are bigger, bolder and comparatively more colourful with striking jewels and bauble crystals. Floral motifs are their signature style, complementing the bright citrusy shades of yellow, pink and green of the Featheringtons’ wardrobe. Among the sisters, Penelope once wore a butterfly motif enamel necklace, which was also their family symbol. These “Versace-esque jewellery”, as designer Mirojnick calls them, have a stylish and modern edge that can add a playful touch to your summer dresses.
Marina Thompson, a distant relative and guest of the Featherington family, offers a different perspective on her jewellery. She was seen wearing a simple pendant with a central stone, commonly called the “eye,”. It hints at the nostalgia and quiet longing of a lover far away. If you wish to embrace a cottage-core aesthetic, an eye-let pendant is a humble choice of jewellery.

Statement jewellery
It comes as no surprise, but the biggest and heaviest jewels are worn by the queen. Her bold personality is showcased in extravagant dresses, jewellery and wigs. Queen Charlotte wears diamonds, rubies, pearls and other gems, befitting her wealth and regal status. Lady Danbury (played by Adjoa Andoh), the fierce and independent woman who “has lived a life of her own”, is seen in similar solid statement jewellery like her tiaras and fringe necklace, heavy and rich, reflecting her strength and confidence.
Similarly, Violet Bridgerton, who is the dowager viscountess and plays the wise matriarch, embodies quiet elegance. Violet’s Greek-inspired festoon statement necklace has amethysts designed in a “colette setting” quite popular during the Georgian era.
Eye-catching and attractive, these statement necklaces are perfect to elevate any ensemble.

Chokers and finger rings
Chokers surely rule the Bridgerton balls. From bold, gold-plated, chunky ones worn by Lady Danbury to delicate pearl and crystal chokers on Eloise, this timeless trend transcends the show, making sure the accessory is here to stay.
To complete her graceful look, Lady Danbury wears chunky finger rings in vintage designs with a stone in the centre, radiating her own air of authority.
