Simone Biles is solidifying her G.O.A.T. status.
The 27-year-old gymnast’s sparkling 3D goat necklace, which she donned after winning the all-around final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, quickly caught the attention of fans. The animal is in reference to Biles being called the G.O.A.T. — or Greatest of All Time — of gymnastics. Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history and holds the most Olympic medals of any U.S. gymnast.
The jewelry company behind the necklace, Janet Heller Fine Jewelry, shared all the details of the custom piece, which features a whopping 564 diamonds.
“In the realm of gymnastics, few names resonate as profoundly as Simone Biles,” begins a Tuesday, July 30, Instagram post from the brand. “…to commemorate her remarkable achievements and undeniable legacy, Simone Biles commissioned these exquisite pieces from Janet Heller Fine Jewelry.”
The post, which includes a behind-the-scenes clip of the necklace being made, continues, “The GOAT necklace, a three-dimensional masterpiece adorned with 546 diamonds, embodies her unparalleled status in gymnastics. Crafted with meticulous precision, this piece reflects her dedication, perseverance, and the spirit that has inspired generations.”

“My goat necklace, is just kind of an ode, because the people love it and then some people hate it, so it’s like the best of both worlds. And I was like, okay, if it goes well, I’ll wear the goat necklace, I know people will go crazy over it,” Biles told reporters, including PEOPLE, in a press conference after the competition. “But at the end of the day, it is crazy that I’m in the conversation of greatest of all time athletes, because I still think I’m Simone Biles from Spring, Texas, that loves to flip.”
The gymnast won the all-around competition for a second time, after previously earning gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics. She’s now earned six Olympic gold, one silver and two bronze medals, along with her 30 World Championship medals.
