The Best Jewellery At The Venice Film Festival 2021

As the Venice Film festival draws to a close, it’s time to look back on almost a fortnight of knock ’em dead jewellery. Zendaya’s Bulgari necklace is perhaps the most memorable moment of all.

Vintage was the order of the day for Isabelle Huppert, who wore a Cartier collar and matching cuffs featuring the Maison’s stalking panther, and also Kirsten Dunst, who glowed in Victorian gold and citrine drops from Fred Leighton. Penélope Cruz, meanwhile, made a strong case for the eternal appeal of Chanel chic with a selection of earrings that ranged from delicate diamond drops to shoulder-skimming pearls.
