Tiffany & Co. Jewels Sparkle in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein Adaptation
8 Oct
Summary
- Tiffany & Co. provided historic jewelry for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein film
- Mia Goth wore a rare 1900 Tiffany necklace that had never before been seen on screen
- Tiffany collaborated with the film's costume designer to incorporate their archival pieces
In the lead-up to the October 17 theatrical release and November 7 Netflix debut of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein film, Tiffany & Co. has played a significant role in the production. The luxury jewelry house provided several of its historic pieces to be featured in the movie, including a rare 1900 diamond and platinum necklace that had never before been seen on a woman's neck other than its original owner.
When Tiffany's vice president Christopher Young placed the Wade Necklace, as it is known, on actress Mia Goth, who portrays Elizabeth in the film, he was surprised to find it fit her perfectly without any adjustments. Young notes that wearing the necklace visibly affected Goth's posture and bearing, while the diamonds sparkled uniquely under the candlelit scenes directed by del Toro.
Tiffany's involvement in Frankenstein came at the request of costume designer Kate Hawley, who has collaborated with del Toro on previous films. Young was initially hesitant about the idea, but was quickly won over by Hawley's designs, which he felt were a perfect fit for incorporating Tiffany's archival pieces. The jewelry house also crafted a 19th-century-inspired pocket watch worn by actor Charles Dance in the film.
