Margot Robbie isn’t the only “Wuthering Heights” star going method on the red carpet.
Jacob Elordi has been channeling his character at premieres from Los Angeles to London and Paris, albeit more subtly: in high-neck collars and sharp suits befitting of the brooding foundling-turned-gentleman.
But for the Sydney premiere, the 28-year-old actor brought along a literal piece of Heathcliff by way of a flashy accessory: his custom gold tooth.
Maison Raksha founder Jonathan Raksha tells Page Six Style the 14-karat-gold cap was the same one Elordi sports onscreen.
It covers his right incisor and features two 1.3-mm white diamonds flanking the letters “C” and “H,” combined into one monogram in a flourishing font to represent Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.
Raksha — who has worked with Elordi before on custom grills and also counts Sabrina Carpenter, Kylie Jenner, Kendrick Lamar and more as clients — says he hand-engraved the letters and steeped the piece in symbolism.
“It’s an age-old technique because this project, we obviously wanted it to look like a classic, antique piece of jewelry. We wanted to have that romantic quality to it,” Raksha says, adding that Elordi asked for the character’s initials but gave the jeweler “creative freedom” with the font.
“[At the] last minute, I suggested that we use the diamonds in the star settings to give the piece a bit of flair,” the jeweler shares. “Each diamond represents the lovers.”
It’s not the only special piece of sparkle Elordi’s shown off lately; ahead of the “Wuthering Heights” press tour, Robbie gifted her co-star matching signet rings by Cece Jewellery inspired by the film and its source material.
The bands feature two entwined skeletons surrounded by roses and thorns, along with the most iconic line from Emily Brönte’s novel: “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
