A goat made of white gold and 546 diamonds. The most titled gymnast in the world, Simone Biles, showed her mascot
American gymnast Simone Biles, who won a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, showed off her lucky charm - a goat-shaped pendant. The white gold pendant set with 546 diamonds was created by jewelers especially for the Olympic Games.
Netizens could see the Biles mascot during the awards ceremony. As the artist Janet Heller told the LA Times, the 27-year-old gymnast approached her with the idea to create the jewelry on the eve of the competition. The shape of the pendant is inspired by the fact that the abbreviation GOAT, literally "a goat animal," stands for "Greatest Of All Time".
In this way, Simone emphasized her status as the most decorated gymnast in the world. According to the BBC, after the tournament in Paris, the American has 39 medals from the World Championships and the Olympic Games, and a total of 106 awards in her career. A team of jewelers from Los Angeles worked overtime to make the piece in five weeks. According to Heller, the entire process for such a product usually takes three to four months.
