What earrings did Margot Robbie wear for Wuthering Heights?

Diamond, garnet and pearl drop earrings by Jessica McCormack for the London premiere, chosen by stylist Andrew Mukamal. The garnet was the deliberate detail — a dark, blood-colored red for a Brontë adaptation.

The press tour was styled as a sustained costume argument, and the jewelry carried more of it than the clothes did.

The pieces. For the London premiere, diamond, garnet and pearl drops by Jessica McCormack — a jeweller who works in Victorian and Georgian idioms, which is to say the earrings did the period reference without anybody having to wear a bonnet. Garnet is the detail worth noticing: a dark, slightly muddy red that photographs as almost black under a flashbulb and reads blood-colored in daylight. For a Brontë adaptation that is not an accident.

What transfers to a normal pair of earrings. Articulation matters more than size. A long earring made of one rigid piece hangs dead and reads heavy; the same length split into linked sections swings, catches light and reads light. If you are choosing between two drops of similar length, pick both up — the one that moves in your hand is the one that will move on you.

The practical note. Long drops catch on hair, collars and phone screens, which is why they suit standing-still occasions rather than working days.
