Neymar, one of the world’s highest paid athletes, isn't one to shy away from a statement jewel, from watches and chains to stud earrings framed with diamonds. Here, we spotlight his greatest looks and rundown his watch collection
Neymar da Silva Santos Junior, Brazil’s reigning footballer, has amassed an astonishing collection of jewellery and watches throughout his career. The 31-year-old superstar is rarely photographed without a smattering of diamonds, whether it’s a watch, necklace or earrings.
Neymar is best known for his impeccably curated wardrobe of earrings, from his gem-framed studs and layers of chunky hoops to charms that include dangling hearts and a classic cross motif.
Here, we celebrate Neymar’s love of all things that glitter and delve into his greatest jewellery hits, whether he’s dazzling on the front row in Paris or garnering cheers on the pitch.
