Defying Gravity: Jewelry Inspired by Wicked
- Cara Nicolas

The musical Wicked first captivated audiences when it debuted back in 2003—but The Emerald City is back in the spotlight in a big way with the release of the feature film featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. We can’t be the only ones playing the soundtrack on repeat!
Whether you identify with glitzy Glinda or the edgy, rebellious Elphaba, you can let your personal style defy gravity with some carefully selected pieces. Here are just a few of our favorite Wicked-inspired jewels!
Emerald Dreams
Embrace the opulence of the Emerald City with rich green gemstones like emeralds, peridot, and green tourmaline. The great thing about green? It looks equally stunning in white and yellow gold, and complements a wide range of skin tones. (Just be sure to give any emerald jewelry the proper care to keep gems in top condition!)
Embodying the Glamorous Glinda
Embrace Glinda’s signature colors with dramatic, elegant pieces in shades of pink, white, and rose gold. Don’t forget the dazzling diamond and crystal accents—if anyone is over the top with sparkle, it’s Glinda!
Defy Gravity with Design
Channel Elphaba’s rebellious spirit with asymmetrical shapes that defy traditional jewelry design or incorporate pointed elements as a subtle nod to her iconic hat. Want your personal style to soar? A carefully selected piece featuring a wing motif is a beautiful way to symbolize freedom and flight.
No matter your style, there are endless ways to infuse your jewelry with the magic of Wicked. Our advice? Celebrate your individuality, embrace the unexpected, and be confidently, unapologetically yourself!
