Margot Robbie was spotted wearing what seemed to be a bracelet that once belonged to Charlotte Brontë, dating back 175 years, at the London premiere of Wuthering Heights. The actress showcased her style as she promotes her upcoming film, where she portrays the character Catherine (Cathy) Earnshaw in the new adaptation by Emerald Fennell based on Emily Brontë’s novel.

Originally published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, Wuthering Heights delves into the intense love story between Catherine Earnshaw and the orphan Heathcliff, as well as her marriage to Edgar Linton.

During the premiere, Margot appeared to don a bracelet resembling Charlotte Brontë’s original mourning bracelet, which is typically exhibited at the Brontë Parsonage in Haworth, West Yorkshire. It is believed to be crafted with the intertwined hair of Charlotte’s deceased sisters, Emily and Anne.

The centerpiece of the bracelet is a shining amethyst. Wearing jewelry containing the hair of a deceased family member was a common practice among the middle and upper classes in the early Victorian period, offering solace in an era where photographs were scarce.

While fans speculated on social media about Margot wearing the authentic bracelet, it was later revealed that she wore a replica made by skilled designers from Wyedean Weaving, a local family-owned business near Haworth, where the Brontë siblings lived.

Margot’s stylist, Andrew Mukamal, shared a photo of the replica on Instagram, highlighting the collaboration between Wyedean and the Brontë Parsonage Museum. The museum director, Rebecca Yorke, expressed pride in sharing a piece of their collection with a global audience through Margot’s appearance, emphasizing the enduring influence of Emily Brontë and her literary masterpiece, nearly two centuries after her passing.
