Alex and Ani launches A Court of Thorns and Roses inspired collection

Alex and Ani’s A Court of Thorns and Roses capsule asks the right fandom question: which pieces read as real jewelry first and fan merchandise second? The answer is the quieter ones, especially the lockets and the slim cuff, while the ring sets and character bracelets lean harder into the series for readers who want the reference to be seen. Launched on June 4, 2026, the officially licensed eight-piece drop ranges from $44 to $58 and is the first installment in a broader collaboration planned for later in 2026.

The collection builds its language from the Night Court rather than from obvious costume cues. Moons, stars, wings, vines and hidden lockets carry the design, with references to Prythian, Velaris and the Archeron sisters threaded through the line. The most polished piece is the $58 There You Are Locket Necklace, which centers Rhysand and Feyre’s first meeting. Its interior reads “Feyre Darling,” and the back is engraved with “There you are, I've been looking for you,” giving the necklace enough narrative weight to feel personal without turning theatrical.

That balance is what makes the capsule most useful at the office. The $58 Velaris Heart Locket Necklace works as a discreet pendant under a shirt collar, while the $54 Illyrian Sword & Shadows Cuff brings the series’ winged, warrior-side symbolism into a shape that can sit beside a watch or a plain bangle. The Bat Boys Ring Set of 3, priced at $58, and the $44 Keep Reaching Out Your Hand Nesta & Cassian Ring Set of 2 are more overtly fandom-coded, but they become easier to wear when stacked with simple bands already in a jewelry box. The three character bracelets for Feyre Archeron, Nesta Archeron and Elain Archeron, each priced at $58, are the least subtle of the group and read best on weekends or layered with a chain bracelet.

The licensing structure matters here. Total Licensing said the partnership was facilitated by IMG Licensing, and the brand is leaning on the cultural reach of Sarah J. Maas’s series rather than on precious-metal bragging rights or gemstone pedigree. That makes the collection feel like licensed fashion jewelry with a clear fan identity, not an attempt at fine-jewelry mystique. For readers who want a literary nod that can survive daily wear, the strongest pieces are the ones that whisper Velaris instead of shouting it.
