Celebrity-Inspired Jewellery: Get the Look Without the Price Tag

There's a very specific moment that happens after every award show, every airport look, every magazine cover: someone screenshots the earrings, drops it in a group chat, and asks "where is this from?" More often than not, the honest answer is a price tag with more zeros than most of us are willing to spend on a single pair of earrings. That's the gap Esme's celebrity-inspired edit exists to close.

We design pieces inspired by the exact silhouettes celebrities and stylists reach for — statement cocktail rings, sculptural danglers, bold cuffs — in Swarovski crystal and gold-polished stainless steel instead of precious stone and solid gold. Same visual impact, a fraction of the cost, and nothing you have to insure.

How We Pick What Makes the Edit

Every piece in this collection is tied to a specific look — a red carpet moment, a magazine shoot, a street-style photo — that we thought deserved a more accessible version. That's why you'll find pieces named after the celebrities and stylists who wore the original look, from PV Sindhu and Sunny Leone to Shraddha Kapoor, Masaba Gupta, and Diana Penty. It's a running archive of the looks that made us want to design in the first place.

Statement Rings, the Cocktail-Ring Way

Cocktail rings are where celebrity styling tends to go the boldest — big stones, sculptural settings, a piece that's meant to be seen from across a room. Our Aahana Kumra and Aamna Shariff rings both take that cue directly, built as classic cocktail silhouettes that pair with almost anything. If you prefer a quieter, more editorial hand shape, the Amrita Thakur piece leans into that instead.

Statement Earrings for the Photo-Ready Moment

Earrings are usually the first thing people notice in a red carpet photo, because they frame the face. Our Aashna Shroff earrings and Aditi Rao Hydari earrings are both designed around that principle — enough movement and shine to hold up under camera flash, light enough to actually wear all evening. If you want something with a bit more edge, the Amruta Khanvilkar and Amyra Dastur pieces both bring in a mismatched, statement-earring energy that's been everywhere on stylists' boards this year.

For the Men's Edit

Celebrity-inspired styling isn't only a women's category anymore — menswear jewellery has had its own moment on red carpets, from statement rings to pendant chains. Our Ali Fazal pendant and Ankush Bahuguna ring are both part of that push, designed for anyone who wants a single, considered statement piece rather than a full stack.

How to Style Celebrity-Inspired Pieces Without It Looking Like a Costume

Pick one statement piece, not three. The version of these looks that actually reads as elegant rather than overdone is the one where a bold ring or earring is the only loud thing in the outfit.
Match the metal tone to what you're already wearing. Most of our celebrity-inspired pieces come in gold, rose gold, or silver — keep the rest of your jewellery in the same tone so the statement piece doesn't clash.
Let the occasion set the scale. A cocktail ring built for a red carpet moment can absolutely go to a wedding or a big dinner — it doesn't need to sit in a drawer waiting for an event that never comes.

Why This Matters More Than It Sounds Like It Should

Celebrity styling moves fast, and the actual pieces are almost never available to buy even if you could afford them — they're loaned, custom, or one-off archive pieces. What we're doing with this edit isn't reselling those exact designs; it's translating the feeling of a look — the boldness, the scale, the styling instinct — into something made from Swarovski crystal and gold-polished stainless steel that you can actually wear on a Tuesday. That, to us, is the entire point of imitation jewellery done well.
