Jenna Ortega Wears Ole Lynggaard at the Met Gala: A Celebration of Artistic Jewellery at Its Finest

Each year, the Met Gala delivers unforgettable fashion moments — a blend of art, couture, and unapologetic creativity. In 2025, amidst a night of avant-garde beauty and opulent silhouettes, one standout moment came not just on the red carpet, but at the exclusive Met Gala After Party. Actress and fashion muse Jenna Ortega dazzled in an exquisite ensemble of OLE LYNGGAARD COPENHAGEN jewellery — including the highly coveted Wild Rose ring and brooch, Shooting Stars earrings and rings, and the sculptural Young Fish neck bangle.

This striking ensemble was more than just accessory styling — it was a statement of craftsmanship, nature-inspired design, and modern elegance. At Aurum Jewels, we’re proud to carry these extraordinary pieces from Ole Lynggaard and invite you to explore the stories behind the collections Jenna wore.

The Wild Rose Collection: A Study in Organic Romance

Jenna Ortega’s after-party look was anchored by key pieces from Ole Lynggaard’s Wild Rose Collection, a new release that continues the brand’s tradition of botanical inspiration. The collection reimagines the delicate rose with a wild, untamed spirit — lush petals, tactile textures, and unexpected elegance.

At the event, Jenna wore the Wild Rose Stud Earrings in 18ct yellow gold — each petal beautifully hand-sculpted and lightly textured to reflect light with subtle shimmer. These earrings, available at Aurum Jewels here, are understated in size but rich in detail, evoking a flower captured in eternal bloom.

Complementing the earrings was the Wild Rose Ring, a stunning floral cocktail ring that wraps around the finger like a golden vine. A masterful balance of nature and luxury, it’s a signature Ole Lynggaard piece — intricate, feminine, and undeniably modern. You can explore a similar Wild Rose Ring in our online collection.

The Brooch as an Art Form: Crafting the Wild Rose

While rings and earrings might be the staples of everyday elegance, it was Jenna’s Wild Rose Brooch that truly showcased the artistry behind Ole Lynggaard’s creations. Brooches — often overlooked in contemporary fashion — have enjoyed a renaissance thanks to bold, expressive designs like this one. Worn pinned to her after-party ensemble, the Wild Rose Brooch was a sculptural statement that elevated her entire look.

Each brooch in this collection is a labour of love. Crafted by hand in the Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen workshops, the process involves:

Lost-wax casting to form the initial organic shape of the petals
Hand-engraving to create the lifelike textures and curves
Layered polishing for depth and contrast between soft matte and gleaming finishes
And finally, careful stone setting if a diamond, pearl, or coloured gem is added to the centre.

Each rose is slightly unique — no two brooches are identical, which makes them as distinctive as the people who wear them. At Aurum Jewels, we currently offer a selection of handpicked Ole Lynggaard brooches, including the Wild Rose Brooch in 18ct gold, perfect for collectors and lovers of wearable art.

A Daring Touch: Shooting Stars & The Young Fish

Adding to the magical mix were Ole Lynggaard’s Shooting Stars earrings and rings, which Jenna layered to bring subtle sparkle and whimsy to her look. The Shooting Stars Collection captures the fleeting magic of a meteor shower — featuring asymmetrical starbursts in 18ct gold, set with brilliant-cut diamonds. Designed for stacking and layering, these pieces are a red carpet favourite.

Jenna’s final touch? The sculptural Young Fish neck bangle — a bold, fluid statement piece that mirrors the gentle motion of water. Cast in gold and curving gracefully around the collarbone, it is at once modern and deeply poetic. The piece is part of Ole Lynggaard’s aquatic-inspired collection, and we invite you to discover similar neck bangles and oceanic designs here.
