Barbie Would Flip for These Jewels

Share

Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past six months, you know that Barbie, the film, is now out in theaters. JCK’s editors know this from the flood of emails that continue to swamp our inboxes all day, every day, each touting some version of #Barbiecore.

One recent message caught our eye: “Fashion experts reveal how to ‘Barbie-fy’ your wardrobe as searches for ‘Barbie inspired outfit’ skyrocket 614% ahead of the movie’s release.”

That got us thinking about how someone might “Barbie-fy” their jewelry. Naturally, our thoughts turned to pink colored stones. But not just sapphires and tourmaline in shades of cotton candy or bubble gum. We wanted more complicated and nuanced pinks—morganite and opals, spinel and enamel—to complement what we understand about the movie itself. For a good primer in Barbiecore jewelry, check out the 13 pieces featured here.

Although we haven’t seen it yet (and we may be the only ones who haven’t, given its blockbuster opening), we’ve read a few reviews that suggest director Greta Gerwig, working with stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, created a piece of cinema more complicated and subversive than at first it may seem. Color us intrigued.
