Chase Infiniti wears custom Mejuri collar, sets the layering mood at Gotham Awards

Chase Infiniti’s custom Mejuri collar made the strongest argument for the season’s new layering mood: one bold, high-contrast stone can anchor everything else. The necklace centered on a 9.36-carat Brazilian green tourmaline and 73 lab-grown diamonds, while her earrings stayed shoppable at under $200, a contrast that kept the look from tipping into excess.

The appearance landed at the Gotham TV Awards in New York on June 2, 2026, where Infiniti won Outstanding Lead Performance in a Drama Series for her role as Agnes McKenzie in Hulu’s The Testaments. That gave the jewelry a second layer of meaning on a night when she was being recognized not just for style, but for a breakout performance that has put her squarely in the industry conversation.

Fashion coverage described the necklace as a gleaming gold Mejuri collar with a deep green rectangular stone and sparkling diamonds, styled by Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald. The shape mattered as much as the carat count: a collar sits close to the neck, reads as deliberate, and creates a frame that lets one centerpiece do the talking. In a red-carpet moment that leaned toward classic Hollywood glamour, the effect was polished rather than piled on.

That is the larger styling cue at work here. The strongest jewelry looks of the moment are not necessarily the heaviest or most crowded. They build around one memorable piece, then use smaller links, studs or slim accents to support it. Infiniti’s necklace did exactly that, turning a single Brazilian green tourmaline into the focal point while the lab-grown diamonds and gold setting added light without competing for attention.

Mejuri founder Noura Sakkijha underscored the personal note behind the piece, describing Infiniti as “the heart of the show” and “soft, but not fragile.” Infiniti, meanwhile, marked the night with a simple celebration of the role, saying, “It’s been an incredible ride and I could not be more grateful!” Together, the words and the jewelry pointed to the same idea: the most effective statement today is not a stack of everything at once, but one meaningful centerpiece that lets the rest of the look breathe.
