Oscar winner Julia Roberts is now a jewelry designer. As a longtime Chopard Ambassador, Roberts recently unveiled her first collaboration with the luxury brand, creating an Haute Joaillerie set: a necklace, a ring and a pair of earrings boasting stones from the Insofu Emerald. It all started when Chopard co-president and artistic director Caroline Scheufele and Roberts brainstormed a unique way to showcase the first gems from the cutting of a raw 6,225-carat stone that Chopard acquired a few years ago.

Next time you spot the star on the red carpet, and she’s asked about her jewelry, she can proudly declare that the pieces are of her own design (with a little help from Chopard bien-sûr).
