As it turns out, Anne Hathaway married quite the creative spirit. Her husband Adam Shulman co-owns a jewelry brand with partner Heidi Nahser Fink called James Banks Design, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The company's website states in its mission statement, "The mentality behind our work is that jewelry should be more than just an object you wear but rather should carry with it a past and a future that can mold and change with your life."
A typical piece that embodies the brand's highly personal touch and uniqueness is its "Lightkeeper" necklace, retailing at around $4,300 and featuring a light bulb-shaped pendant with a black diamond and ruby nestled inside. The combination of old-world inventions like the lightbulb with trendy metals such as rose gold is part of the company's M.O. The prides itself on "using such tools as hammers and stakes for forming, saws for piercing, rolling mill and drawplates for baking sheet and wire, propane/oxygen torch for soldering."
Interestingly enough, the Lightkeeper necklace was inspired by Shulman's love for Hathaway. "When Annie was on a long shoot in London and I was doing theater work in New York, she told me, 'I don't feel like I have the lights in my life,'" he told Introspective Magazine in January 2020 about the item's origin story. So Shulman made the piece, and the rest is history. "Once people saw Annie wearing it, they wanted to know where to get a Lightkeeper pendant, and with her blessing, James Banks was born in 2011," he shared.
