At the end of episode 2, there was a scene where Seo’s face concealed by an umbrella. This shot gave us a glimpse of a pair of rose gold hoop earrings from Cartier’s Ecrou de Cartier range. If you didn’t know, this collection draws design inspiration from nails and screws. You can clearly see the spiral grooves and nuts that adorn the earrings too.
Episode 4 saw Seo stylishly dressed in an ethereal white dress accessorised with a pair of Clash de Cartier hoops. Launched last year, the Clash collection challenged the conventional Cartier silhouette we have been familiar and boldly used rivets, round beads and square rivets as design elements. The drama plays on the harmony between rigidity and softness and the Clash de Cartier line is rather fitting with Seo’s characterisation.
In the scene where Seo was lying in bed in pyjamas, the Juste un Clou bracelet around her wrist caught our eyes. Known as the most famous nail in the world, the design was created by the esteemed Aldo Cipullo in 1970. The beauty of the design comes from its transformation of a humble object and imbuing it with special, significant meanings. Its enduring beauty and success as an icon can also be attributed to its ability to capture the zeitgeist of the ’70s.
Bvlgari B.zero1 Rock and Serpenti Tubogas
In episode 3 and 4, Seo wore the highly recognisable Serpenti Tubogas watch from Bvlgari. The watch combined two emblematic designs from the label, the Serpenti Tubogas consists of the serpentine coil of a snake around the wrist as well as the Tubogas that draws inspiration from Italian piping. A special technique is used to shape uniform lines and create the flexible yet soft metal tubular shape, which symbolises the graceful curves of women and the agile posture of a snake.
Conversely, the brand new Bvlgari B.zero1 Rock collection adds a studded design to the classic B.zero1 line. It stands out for its uncompromising design and is a symbol of strength and independence. In the series, Seo uses punk-style B.zero1 Rock jewellery to accent her domineering and unpredictable qualities.
Seo fell from down the stairs at the beginning of episode 6 but was safely caught by Kim. In the scene, we see the Chaumet Liens Seduction 18k rose gold ring on her fingers. Liens is one of the pillar collections from the French jeweller and symbolises a thread that brings people and their destinies closer together.
Besides the ring, we later see her sporting the Jeux de Liens Harmony 18k rose gold necklace with the same outfit. Jeux de Liens Harmony represents two individuals with two semicircles and a thread that brings these two together into a harmonious, united whole. This perhaps echoes the progress of the relationship between Seo’s and Kim’s characters.
Bvlgari Fiorever and Serpenti
Seo’s every look in the series was unforgettable. In episode 9, she and Kim went on a trip for the first time together, she wore an oversized sun hat together with Bvlgari Fiorever diamond earrings. Moreover, we caught a glimpse of the classic serpentine design from the Serpenti Eyes On Me and Serpeti Viper jewellery, both showing off her cool and wild side.
In episode 11, Seo matched the classic Chanel Coco Crush jewellery with a ruffled blouse, creating a romantic and dreamy appearance. The Coco Crush collection was born in 2015 and consists of necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings.
Among them is the beige gold iteration created by Chanel that incorporates the emblematic lion symbol. The resulting unisex design is well-loved among the fashionable set. The ear cuffs that Seo is wearing is a must-have especially great at adding dimension and style points.
Piaget Possession, Rose and Extremely Lady
In episode 12, Seo was seen in several scenes wearing the Piaget Possession necklace and bracelet, Piaget Rose ring and Extremely Lucky watch. And in another scene, we saw the glimmer of the Extremely Lady 18k white gold watch. This watch is made with Piaget’s most iconic Palace Decor style while the 27x22mm round case is inlaid with dazzling diamonds.
Seo wore the Ombre Feline collection from French jeweller Fred in episode 12. The design was a reinterpretation of the cheetah-shaped ring that founder Fred Samuel specially created for Monaco princess Grace Kelly in the ’60s. The ring features two intertwining cheetah claws, which adds a layer of meaning.
Piaget jewellery and watch was featured again in episode 14. This time, Seo sported the Sunlight rose gold earrings. The scene where her tears fell and it paralleled the sleek lines of the tassel earrings were particularly memorable. She later wore the Sunlight necklace in episode 15, together with the Piaget Possession 18k white gold earrings.
In the final episode, Seo wore Tiffany & Co. Tiffany T 18k rose gold Smile necklace. The curvature of the design resembles a smile and we think it captures the beautiful beginning in her character’s life perfectly.
Bvlgari Diva’s Dream and Bvlgari Bvlgari
Besides the jewellery spotted in the drama, another place we see Seo sporting luxury accessories is in the promotional posters. In this publicity photo for the drama, Seo is wearing Bvlgari Diva’s Dream jewellery to exemplify her elegant femininity together with the neutral style of the Bvlgari Bvlgari collection.
Diva’s Dream is inspired by fan-shaped mosaic tiles from the ancient Roman Baths of Caracalla. Graceful lines outline exquisite patterns, showcasing the tenderness of Italian women. Bvlgari Bvlgari, on the other hand, takes the brand name logo as the main design and is both fashionable and versatile.
