This year's Games won't just be packed with thrilling competitions; they will turn into a beautiful parade of fashion that has never been seen before. Athletics Meets Fashion Beginning with the whole year and then really starting to kick off during Paris Fashion Week, we saw some of the world’s best athletes show off their fashion sense. France's sprinter medalist Marie-José Pérec, tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams, basketball superstar Victor Wembanyama, and many more graced and powered their way down the runway. With iconic fashion houses like Berluti designing uniforms for athletes and LVMH group as the primary sponsor, fashion penetrates each corner of the Game. For the first time in history, one jewelry brand will take on the responsibility of making both the Olympic and Paralympic medals. These iconic awards sport a hexagonal design, which hints at France’s nickname, l’hexagone. An unusual element adorns them—original iron used in the construction of the Eiffel Tower mounted with the fineness and artistry reserved for precious stones. Be it cheering from the stands for your favorite team in Paris, throwing a watch party at home, or if you're someone who just really loves a good tale of style, here's how to get in the mood with some sports-themed jewelry picks. The Power of Gold Gold has always been the mark of victory, of excellence. Feel that feeling, too, with the Games, matched with some great recycled gold jewelry pieces that set your outfit off. From sleek bands to geometric bracelets and statement pieces, shine like a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. Silver Champions While gold gets a lot of attention, let’s not forget our silver (and bronze) champions. These metals have some character all their own, perfect for sophisticated and subtle effects. From chunky chains to elegant ball bracelets, each speaks beautifully of memories of what it means to come close to perfection or to give it your all. Olympic Rings Originally intended to represent the union of five inhabited continents, the symbol has grown to stand for unity, diversity, and really the coming together of the world in a festive , unbolted display of human achievement. This season, why not wear this spirit on your sleeve, quite literally, with the TFR x Lightbox cord bracelet? Styled with lab-grown diamonds in a total of five colors, it's a chic nod to the worldwide movement. It is a splash of color for your outfit but subtly serves to pay a powerful message in support of the athletes on the world platform. Greek Elements The Olympics were born in ancient Greece, and what better way to pay tribute to this rich history than with bijouterie inspired by Greek mythology? From Japanese atelier, Eney, come gold and silver coin pendant necklaces featuring deities like Apollo, Artemis, and Cybele. They merge classic lore with modern designs to add subtle sophistication to any ensemble. Better yet, it makes you feel like a goddess.
