Isabeli Fontana Dazzles On 2024 Cannes Red Carpet Sporting Elsa Jin Brooches

Elsa Jin Jewelry House continues its red carpet rise in popularity with increasingly spectacular creations, as evidenced by the Brazilian model's ultra-chic Cannes look.

At the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, Isabeli Fontana was spotted on the red carpet of the annual festival, adorned with a monumental Elsa Jin brooch. Fans fawned over the exquisite crystalline creation, which took on the form of an oversized ribbon brooch, complete with over 8,000 delicate diamonds and 1,800 shimmering rubies, as well as a sizeable blue sapphire and a green paraiba tourmaline stone. 

Although the high jewelry piece Fontana sported last year appeared about as grand as humanly possible, the fashionista managed to take her jewelry game to the next level for her 2024 Cannes red carpet look. For the 77th edition of the film festival, the Brazilian model strode up the steps of the closing ceremony adorned with two High Jewelry brooches—one fastened into her long hair, and the other attached to the off-the-shoulder collar of her leather jacketfrom the series In Search of Chinese Culture, titled Mozi and La Belle.

The nearly monochromatic Mozi brooch evokes the ink of traditional calligraphy. In the center, a black Tahitian pearl rests on sprawling inky tendrils, representing the soul of the artist, while malachite green flecks of 34.99 carats are seamlessly woven into the deep black structure. It is set on titanium with 5,169 black diamonds, 165 gray diamonds, and 44 emeralds, resulting in a piece that dazzles from any angle, reflecting glimpses of the warm French Riviera sun back at viewers. 

Worn as a head jewel, La Belle, inspired by the Chinese story Xiang Ru Yi Mo, depicts two fish, arranged mouth to mouth, one crafted in blue sapphire and the other in pink sapphire. In the center, the exceptionally rare 63,864-carat Melo pearl symbolizes the bubbles they spit that keep each fish alive, acting at once as a poetic representation of love and friendship and as a gorgeous vision of artistry and a deep understanding of the craft. The titanium brooch is set with 407 blue sapphires, for a total of 85.09 carats, 336 pink sapphires at 103.76 carats, and 654 white and yellow diamonds at 77.39 carats.
