Nicola Coughlan has captivated audiences as Penelope Featherington in the popular series “Bridgerton,” drawing attention not only to her performance but also to her elegant regency wardrobe. One item, in particular, has captured viewers’ interest: her stunning pearl and diamond engagement ring.
A well-known jewelry brand has reported a remarkable increase in sales, with demand for rings similar to Penelope’s soaring by 5,000%.
Emma Fox, a jewelry expert at Pandora UK, predicts that pearl engagement rings will become a major trend this summer, heavily influenced by “Bridgerton.”
“Penelope Featherington’s engagement ring, blending diamonds and pearls, embodies timeless elegance that deeply resonates with viewers. It’s no wonder demand has surged in Google searches,” said Fox.
She explained that the combination of pearls and diamonds reflects a growing trend for vintage-inspired jewelry designs. “This pairing exudes sophistication and romance, making it a memorable choice for those seeking Bridgerton-inspired glamour,” she added.
Fox also noted that pearl engagement rings are set to be hugely popular as summer approaches. “They are celebrated for their classic beauty, purity, and enduring appeal, ideal for brides-to-be seeking elegance and romance in their ring.”
Historically, pearls have been associated with royalty and the aristocracy. Kate Middleton often wears elegant pearl earrings, and the Queen had an entire tiara crafted from pearls, known as the Queen’s Californian Pearl and Diamond Tiara.
Pearls and ocean-inspired jewelry are excellent additions to a summer wardrobe, aligning perfectly with the boho trend.
