Get The Look: 9 Natural Diamond Bangles Inspired By The Perfect Couple
Netflix’s new hit mini-series ‘The Perfect Couple’ starring Nicole Kidman, features a natural diamond bracelet at the center of a compelling murder-mystery.
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.
Prounis
Looking for something with a bit of an edge compared to the bangle seen on The Perfect Couple? The Laurel Cuff by Prounis features two cushion-cut diamonds set in 22K gold, designed to resemble ancient Greece.
Piaget
Piaget’s “Possession” open bangle bracelet is nearly identical to the bangle seen in The Perfect Couple but has extra natural diamonds inlaid in the bracelet, which is never an issue. More is always more!
Tiffany & Co.
Tiffany & Co.’s Elsa Peretti diamond bangle offers a simplistic approach to the bracelet worn by Meghann Fahy. This bracelet is the perfect piece to start your diamond bracelet stack.
Zoë Chicco
Zoë Chicco’s Diamond Door Knocker Cuff bracelet is also similar to the key piece of evidence we see in The Perfect Couple. Its geometric shape sets it apart from the show’s bracelet, and features three rows of diamonds on each end.
Michael M
Michael M’s Foundation Cuff is also a great starter bracelet for any wrist stack. Priced at just over 2K, this bracelet is only a fraction of the cost of the show’s bangle.
Boucheron
Boucheron’s Serpent Bohème 2-Motif Diamond bracelet features a twisted 18K gold cuff with round-cut natural diamonds on either end.
Dinh Van
Dinh Van’s Le Cube Diamant bracelet features two larger round-cut diamonds set in square gold “cubes.” This bracelet is designed with high shine in mind, which would be hard to miss if worn on The Perfect Couple.
Messika
Messika’s “My Twin” Toi et Moi bangle has a pear-shaped and emerald-cut diamond on either end of the gold bangle, surrounded by a halo of round-cut natural diamonds.
Marli
Marli’s Cleo Full Diamond Midi Slip-On Bracelet features 1.20 carats of natural diamonds and is inspired by Cleopatra. Its design resembles the pyramids, covered in brilliant diamonds–available in yellow, white, and rose gold.
