Simone Biles Takes Home Gold Again: But Why Her Diamond GOAT Necklace Is Making Waves

Paris Olympics 2024: Simone Biles, the American gymnast, has once again proven she’s the “Greatest of All Time” by winning another gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. After the women’s team brought home gold, Biles secured the all-around gold on Thursday evening (1 August), making her the first gymnast to win two non-consecutive titles and the first woman to earn two Olympic all-around gold medals. On the podium, she proudly displayed two of her cherished items: a gold and a diamond. If you’ve been online, you might have noticed that her diamond-encrusted goat-shaped necklace is going viral. It’s not just a fashion statement; Simone says it symbolizes her journey as a gymnast.

“My goat necklace is a tribute because some people love it and some don’t,” Biles said. “It’s like the best of both worlds. I thought, ‘If it’s well received, I’ll wear the goat necklace. I know people will have strong reactions to it,’” said the US gymnast after adding another medal to her collection.

With 23 world titles, she is widely regarded as the greatest gymnast ever and one of the greatest athletes of all time.

“I love that the haters dislike it even more. It’s a special part of me. In the village, I have a stuffed goat as a reminder: ‘You can do this. You’ve done it before, so go for it,’” she added.

Simone Biles had these stunning pieces made by Janet Heller Fine Jewelry. Janet Heller wrote, “The GOAT necklace, a three-dimensional creation with 546 diamonds, represents her unmatched status in gymnastics. Made with great care, this piece shows her dedication, hard work, and the spirit that has inspired many.”

Biles’ necklace is a testament to her strength and resilience, drawing global attention. Additionally, she has an Olympic rings necklace made by the same brand. These charms serve as reminders to pursue our beliefs and symbolize that message.
