Kelly Rutherford Expands The TwentyFour Six Collection Into 18-Karat Gold

Kelly Rutherford walked into a bar in Paris and left with a jewelry collaboration. That origin story, charmingly improbable, now has a material sequel: the actress and Belgian label The TwentyFour Six have expanded their partnership into solid 18-karat gold earrings and additional sterling silver pieces, a significant step up from the gold-plated brass that launched the project.

The collaboration began last year with an initial run of 150 pieces in gold-plated brass that sold out immediately. What distinguished it from other projects on The TwentyFour Six's roster was continuity: where the label typically produces one-off pieces, this one came back. The trio behind it, which includes Rutherford and June Van Thillo, returned this year with a material elevation that reflects real demand rather than trend-chasing.

In February, the collection added delicate 18-karat gold diamond-set earrings, and Rutherford's own aesthetic logic is embedded in the design. "I don't like a big earring," she admitted. "They bother me. These are like air — you can't feel them." That preference for weightlessness is precisely the design brief solid 18-karat gold makes difficult to fulfill cheaply. Moving from plated brass to solid 18-karat is not just a marketing upgrade; it means the piece retains its value, wears differently against skin, and demands more precise setting work to keep the diamond securely held without adding bulk.

One piece already in the collection carries a chain built around a distinctive rhythm of three long links and a smaller oval link, a construction detail that gives the piece tactile personality without visual noise. It is signed "R+G," a deliberate tease of further projects between siblings whose identities the brand has not yet made explicit.

The TwentyFour Six's approach, unisex and sculptural in its sensibility, suits Rutherford's preference for jewelry that disappears into the body rather than announcing itself. The move into solid gold and diamonds positions the collaboration in a more serious price tier than the original plated brass run occupied, though retail pricing for the new pieces has not been publicly confirmed. Whether the 18-karat editions will be limited in the same way as the original 150-piece run also remains to be seen. Given how quickly that first edition went, the question of edition size carries real weight.
