Some dramas give you a heroine to root for. Dear X gives you Baek Ah-jin—an anti-heroine who dares you to revel in every deliciously manipulative second of her ascent. In what many call the performance of her career, actress Kim Yoo-jung plays her with a sweetness so precise it borders on sinister, peeling back the story of a girl shaped by cruelty and now reshaping the world entirely on her own terms.
The shift in Baek’s personality is unmistakable the moment she tastes fame. The timid girl from the early episodes disappears, replaced by a woman whose confidence seems to crystallise through her wardrobe. Structured dresses, razor-sharp tailoring, sweeping red-carpet gowns…and above all, jewellery that doesn’t just accessorise her ascent but punctuates it.
Curious about her jewellery? Below, we break down the most striking pieces worn by Baek Ah-jin throughout Dear X.
Bvlgari Serpenti Viper Earrings and Necklace
Nothing says “I bite back” quite like Bvlgari’s iconic Serpenti motif.
Here, Baek wears the Serpenti Viper earrings in full pavé diamonds and the Serpenti Viper thin necklace in rose gold, complete with diamond-set head and tail. The ensemble coils around her like a warning — elegant, hypnotic, and unmistakably dangerous. A perfect visual metaphor for a woman who has learned to strike first.
Bvlgari Serpenti Necklace
This white-gold Serpenti necklace, fully set with pavé diamonds, becomes the centrepiece of the look. Sleek yet commanding, it draws the eye immediately to her throat—the place where vulnerability meets power. On Baek, it feels almost ceremonial, a gleaming coronation of her darker, bolder self.
Bvlgari Dazzling Divas’ Dream Earrings and Necklace
Only the most dramatic pieces will do for Dear X’s reigning diva.
Baek stuns in the Divas’ Dream white-gold pendant necklace set with a central sapphire, additional brilliant-cut sapphires, and pavé diamonds—paired with the matching earrings from the same collection. Together, they create a wash of cool blue brilliance that softens her edges while deepening her mystery, making her look equal parts starlet and siren.
Fred Chance Infinie Earrings and Force 10 Necklace
In a particularly bloody scene, Baek is seen wearing the Chance Infinie earrings in white gold and diamonds, paired with a full pavé Force 10 necklace. The contrast is chilling—soft, luminous jewellery set against violence and chaos.
Damiani Margherita Earrings, Necklace and Rings
For one of her major red-carpet entrances, the actress steps out in the Margherita collection from Italian jewellery brand Damiani—diamonds and gemstones shaped into delicate flowers, all crafted in white gold. Their harmonious, romantic silhouette contrasts sharply with her icy persona, creating a haunting duality: a woman who looks like a dream but thinks like a knife.
