Jeweler Behind Simone Biles’ ‘GOAT’ Necklace Reveals the Lid of the Bespoke Design
OLYMPIC gold medalist Simone Biles is dripping in diamonds — 546 of them, to be exact.
The piece was custom made, resulting in a unique, three-dimensional testament to her success.
Janet Heller of Janet Heller Fine Jewelry posted a viral Reel of the production process on the brand’s official Instagram page.
The jewelry designer in sunny Calabasas created two “bespoke” pieces for Simone.
One of the striking necklaces is a goat pendant, set with diamonds, on a white gold chain.
The goat refers to the acronym GOAT, which stands for “Greatest Of All Time”.
The phrase was first used by famed boxer Muhammad Ali and was later used in reference to NBA icon Michael Jordan.
Since Simone Biles is one of the best athletes in the world, the diamond pendant is fitting.
She showed off the necklace after winning gold in the women’s all-around gymnastics final at the Paris Olympics.
It was her sixth Olympic gold medal and her second at the 2024 Summer Games.
“The GOAT necklace, a three-dimensional masterpiece adorned with 546 diamonds, embodies [Simone’s] “Unparalleled status in gymnastics,” the jeweler explained.
HOW IT’S MADE
The piece of jewelry is not available to the public, as it is a custom-made necklace.
However, the jeweler noted that the necklace was inspired by Simone’s hard work and resilience.
“This piece is crafted with great precision and reflects her dedication, perseverance and the spirit that has inspired generations,” she said.
The necklace was created with Simone’s personality in the spotlight and her everyday life in mind.
“As the Paris 2024 Olympic Games unfold, all eyes are on Simone Biles – the GOAT both on and off the mat,” the jeweler added.
Janet Heller Fine Jewelry is also responsible for another piece of jewelry Simone wears: a necklace with Olympic rings as a pendant.
