Since the Bond franchise hit our screens 50 years ago, audiences have been captivated by 007 and his worldwide adventures. However, no Bond film is truly complete without a stunning Bond girl and no Bond girl is truly complete without her iconic jewellery. Now everyone can live out the bond girl fantasy with William May Jewellers dazzling jewellery range that looks like it’s come straight out of the big screen!
As rumours swirl that the new 007 may be a woman, William May takes a look back at the iconic leading ladies of James Bond and of course their accessories too. To emulate the style of your favourite Bond girl look no further as William May provides the perfect dupes for the most coveted accessories worn by 007’s best leading ladies.
A classic look
The Bond Girl has become the embodiment of style and seduction. Considered one of the first Bond girls alongside Honey Ryder, Sylvia Trench, played by Eunice Gayson in Dr No (1962), helped establish the Bond Girl as the iconic role it is today. In a scene from the film, Sylvia can be seen wearing a sophisticated Sapphire and Diamond bracelet.
A similar Sapphire and Diamond bracelet can be found on the William May site, which provides the wearer with the same elegance and refinement as Sylvia Trench eludes in Dr No for £1495.00.
Price: £1495.00

Keep it Gold for Goldfinger
Bond girl Jill Masterson played by Shirley Eaton in Goldfinger (1964) is seen wearing a yellow Gold chain bracelet during her first meeting with Bond. This is perhaps a nod to her unlucky fate in the film as she is famously known as the first bond girl to be murdered and with Gold paint.
William May has a wide selection of heavy Gold chains so that everyone can find their perfect Gold accessory. This men’s bracelet is £625.00 but can be worn by anyone to make a bold statement.
Price: £625.00

William May has a collection of Pearl earrings, necklaces and bracelets for a refined, understated look. These freshwater cultured pearl stud earrings are almost identical to Magda’s and are only £49.00.
