Emma Watson Beauty And The Beast Earring

Had me laughing, crying and marveling at the delightful jewelry in the film.  The production’s Oscar award-winning costume designer, Jacqueline Darren, created pieces that at once reflect the eighteenth century French setting and today’s jewelry trends.

In a video clip from Disney’s website Darren explained, “What we wanted to do was to take the animated movie and augment elements of it.  I mean if you literally translated the animated image to live action, it would be quite flat.  So, what we wanted to do was bring new details which would bring it to life.”

Jewelry was clearly an important part of the live action-animated revamp.  Eighteenth century French styles, such as chandelier earrings and velvet chokers—two looks that are as hot as can be at the moment— shine on several characters in the village and the castle.

Emma Watson's Ear Cuff In Beauty And The Beast

The jewelry Emma Watson wears, in her perfect portrayal of Belle, is unique to her character alone.  With her blue village dress that incorporates multiple prints and corsetry-style details, she has a simple string necklace with a little motif on the bottom.  It is her first cool girl jewel that would fit right in any millennial’s collection.  Her other village jewel, that is panned over by the camera several times, is a pinky ring—a style that could not be more on trend.  (You can get a glimpse of the jewel in the trailer below.)

For the big romantic scene, when Belle dons the famous yellow dress, she gets the necklace the gown had always needed.  It’s not a frou-frou predictable diamond jewel.  No way.  It is an artistic round branch pendant on a delicate butterscotch color silk ribbon that’s a reflection of the forest surrounding the castle and feels oh so fairy tale.  The winding branches are also symbolic of the many directions a romance takes on the way to becoming true love.

The coolest jewel of all is the branch ear cuff.  I am convinced the design was a special request from Emma Watson.  The star has been wearing ear cuffs on the red carpet for eons.  Just Google “Emma Watson ear cuffs” to see what I mean.  She often wears Repossi but has donned styles from other designers as well.

If that doesn’t convince you Watson was involved in the ear cuff choice, Darren’s statement surely will.  She said, “The two elements [for Belle’s costume] were the original animated movie which gave us the form of the costume and input that the director and Emma wanted to bring to it.”  The branch ear piece Darren designed isn’t quite like anything on the market.  It fits the star’s ear to perfection, wrapping delicately around her lobe like a growing branch.

The final element in what I am dubbing The Tree Branch Suite of jewels is a hair ornament of gold tone leaves that holds back her half-up do.  It is a functional item that not only accessorizes, it includes a hairpin that becomes a useful tool to pick a lock.

. From the iconic yellow ballgown to the statement rose, your fashion and jewelry options are pretty much endless. But one unexpected item that fans are obsessed with is Belle's ear wrap from the ballroom scene. It's easy to overlook the earring because it's subtle, but when you see it for the first time, it will be the only thing you notice from then forward.

The ear wrap is a branch-like wire that twists and turns from the bottom of Emma Watson's ear all the way to the top. She only wears one of them, but that's what makes the accessory so unique. Here's a closer look at the statement earring, so you can see what I mean.

It turns out that there was a very specific reason for the branch-like earring and necklace in the scene too. Jacqueline Durran, the

Emma Watson Has Shared Her Ideas For Beauty & The Beast 2 But We're Just Not Convinced

The thought process behind [the branch necklace and ear climber] were that everything that is worn in the castle is created in the castle, so it has to sort of partake in the magic enchantment of the castle itself. It was trying to capture this organic sense of that and the way the castle moves and evolves, Durran said in the

Interview. In the production design, the stairs are twisted and in some places they're broken or still moving. We would be trying to mirror that sort of idea in these two pieces of jewelry.
