Twenty-five years ago this month, The Sopranos premiered on HBO and revolutionized television fiction. The drama, created by David Chase, brought a cinematic quality to the small screen. In it he explored mob life and family dynamics with psychological depth.
The celebration of this landmark anniversary is a testament to the Sopranos' lasting impact on pop culture in general. But also on television dramaturgy in particular.
The fashion of the series - especially the jewellery and their style - also remained relevant. You've probably heard of the Mob wife aesthetic that is trending. Or you've seen it all over social media.
Inspired by The Sopranos (as well as organized crime films like Goodfellas and Casino), the mob wife's aesthetic combines sophistication and extremity, embodying a mixture of power and charm. She features bold fashion choices that strike a balance between power and femininity - luxurious, tailored clothing, with rich jewellery.
From oversized gold chains (see today's version of styling, known as neck mess) to diamond pieces, the jewelry worn on The Sopranos was a visual expression of the characters' lifestyles and extravagant taste, and added authenticity to their portrayal.
We've collected some jewellery reminiscent of the ones we saw in the series - including Carmela's cross necklace and Tony's badge ring. Quiet luxury what?;
