Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy wore a special brooch at the Oscars to celebrate J Robert Oppenheimer.
The 47-year-old actor used an elegant gold, round brooch to remember the man who developed the atomic bomb, whom Murphy acted as in the movie Oppenheimer. The Irish actor's outfit for the night was classic - he wore a sharp suit and bow tie.
To make his look extra special, the Sauvereign brand created a bespoke HS14 Gem Brooch just for him. Designed out of 18K gold, the brooch had eight layered trapeziums - a nod to the design of the parts in Oppenheimer's famous invention.

They added: "Made in 18K solid yellow gold, the HS14 is composed of eight concentric trapeziums the shape of interior components in Oppenheimer's history-altering invention.", reports the Irish Star.
The brooch is made up of eight concentric trapeziums (Sauvereign)"Embellished with sunburst guilloche, a highly precise engraving technique signature to Voutilainen, the surface of each trapezium reveals intricate details that create an array of alluring reflections. As if light rays are emitting from the core, the motif is reminiscent of both the perpetuity of the sun and the blinding flash of beauty right before the arrival of darkness," it continued.

Bertrand, founder and chief creator of Sauvereign, said: "Enigmatic, composed, and reverberating - these were the words in mind when I envisioned a bespoke object for Cillian Murphy and for this particular occasion."
"These characteristics not only refer to the respected actor, but I believe are applicable to the complex history as well as character that he brings to life in his performance," he continued.
The brooch might have given the actor and his film a bit of luck, as Oppenheimer went on to win seven of the 13 nominations it received that night. Cillian himself took home Best Actor - it was his first time being nominated for an Academy Award as well.
