Within the first few minutes of The Perfect Couple on Netflix, viewers are left with an unsettling feeling as the show follows a wealthy family, the Windburys, through a murder mystery in Nantucket. The first episode involves a piece of jewelry that becomes a central plot point in the case, a natural diamond bangle. The Perfect Couple revolves around a Windbury family wedding that is set to take place until a body washes up on the property, bringing the joyous festivities to a halt and launching a full-fledged murder investigation. Warning: there are a few spoilers ahead.

In The Perfect Couple, Nicole Kidman plays Greer Windbury, a best-selling author and wife of Tag Windbury, played by Liev Schreiber, who seemingly have a perfect marriage, until Kidman’s character finds out that her husband is cheating. The infidelity comes to light through her family jeweler, who arrives at the mansion to deliver wedding rings for Greer and Tag’s son on the day before his wedding. When the family jeweler asked Greer why she was not wearing the bangle her husband had just purchased for her, Greer instantly knew her husband had an affair. Soon enough, Greer finds the receipt of an $18,000 diamond and gold open-faced bangle that Tag had purchased for his mistress.

The mistress, Merrit, is played by Meghann Fahy, and just so happens to be the maid of honor in the wedding between the Windbury’s son and her best friend Amelia. Merrit is dead by the end of the first episode, and at the beginning of the second episode, we watch Greer piece together who Tag had been cheating with, based on who was wearing the bangle. What is the major piece of evidence left at the scene of the crime? The diamond bangle.

The remainder of the show follows the Windbury family, their connections to Merrit, and the motive behind the killing, which we will not spoil. Are you considering purchasing a bangle of your own? We present you with eight natural diamond bangles inspired by the bracelet worn in The Perfect Couple but these jewels will not get you involved in a crime.
