Theron was fully decked out, wearing the Quatre Radiant Edition pendant earrings, choker, necklace, and bracelet, paved with diamonds on white gold; Vendôme Liseré bangle and ring, paved with diamonds on white gold with black lacquer; and Quatre Double White Edition rings and ear clip, paved with diamonds in white gold with white hyceram.
