Gigi Hadid shares gold dog-tag necklace nod to Bradley Cooper

Gigi Hadid gave one of her clearest public nods yet to Bradley Cooper with a custom gold dog-tag necklace that made sentiment look almost ceremonial. In an Instagram Stories post on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, she showed the pendant engraved with her initials and Cooper’s, then overlaid the image with the note, “love thank you queen @sheryllowejewelry.”

The piece is the kind of jewelry that does more than identify its wearer. Made in 14K yellow gold and trimmed with about 0.48 carats of diamonds, the pendant reportedly retails for $2,995. Sheryl Lowe Jewelry appears to be behind the design, and some accounts note a small heart placed between the initials, a detail that softens the dog tag’s military edge and turns it into something more intimate, almost like a modern keepsake meant for daily wear.

That combination of materials is what gives the necklace its commercial appeal. A plain engraved charm can feel disposable; a 14K gold pendant with diamond edging is built to be worn, not tucked away. At nearly half a carat of diamonds, the sparkle is restrained rather than ostentatious, which helps explain why this kind of personalized gold jewelry has become so persuasive for shoppers who want romance without losing the polish of fine jewelry. The dog-tag silhouette also matters. It carries a hint of utility and then undercuts it with initials, a heart detail and diamonds, making the piece feel less like a trend object than a private code made visible.

Sheryl Lowe, who is married to Rob Lowe, has been designing jewelry since 2006, and the necklace fits her language of accessible luxury with a personal twist. Hadid and Cooper, who were first publicly linked in October 2023, have kept their relationship notably private, which only makes jewelry like this more revealing. Hadid later made the relationship Instagram official in May 2025 with a birthday post that included a photo of the two kissing, and she recently described the romance in Vogue as “very romantic and happy,” adding that Cooper has opened her up to going to the theater more.

For gold jewelry retailers, the message is hard to miss: relationship-coded pieces still sell because they carry narrative weight, especially when the craftsmanship is specific enough to justify the price. Hadid’s pendant suggests renewed appetite for engraved, everyday-wear gold medallions and dog tags, the kind of pieces that turn affection into something tangible, durable and visible.
