Channel Elphaba in Muse’s ‘Have a Heart x Cynthia Erivo’ Collection
Cynthia Erivo chose Dreams of Hope, an organization dedicated to empowering LGBTQA+ youth, as the charity for this year’s collection.
For Muse’s latest “Have a Heart” collaboration, which features “Wicked”-inspired jewels, designers were tasked with creating versatile pieces that honor the green color of Elphaba’s skin and the animals that she advocates for. Seen here are pieced designed by Anna Maccieri Rossi, Bea Bongiasca, Beck Jewels, Buddha Mama, Daniela Villegas, Kwit, Lorraine West, Luis Morais, Marie-Hélène de Taillac, Mark Davis, Matturi Fine Jewellery, Mckenzie Liautaud, Silvia Furmanovich, Ten Thousand Things, and Yutai.
New York—Muse’s “Have a Heart” initiative is back, again partnering with actress and Broadway star Cynthia Erivo as the influential ambassador for this year’s collaboration.
The fine jewelry sales showroom and New York City boutique began the philanthropic initiative in 2019, a new ambassador is chosen every year to curate a collection that benefits a charity of their choosing.
Erivo first partnered with Muse on a “Have the Heart” curation in 2020.
This year’s collaboration was inspired by Erivo’s role as Elphaba, played alongside Arianna Grande as Galinda, in the upcoming film adaption of the Broadway musical “Wicked.”
“Wicked” is the first chapter in a two-part series, hitting theaters tomorrow, Nov. 22. “Wicked Part Two” is scheduled to release in November 2025.
The beneficiary of the collection is Dreams of Hope, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering LGBTQA+ youth to build confidence, express their true selves, and grow as leaders through the arts, while helping them discover their own strength, voice, and sense of belonging.
Erivo highlighted this organization and its mission not only because she is deeply committed to the arts and the LGBTQA+ community, said Muse, but because as Elphaba in “Wicked,” she tells the story of an outsider transforming into someone who embraces her power and identity.
The 54-piece collection is a celebration of the journey toward self-empowerment and acceptance, said Muse.

Shades of green and animal themes are emphasized across the rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants, and other accessories to reflect the Elphaba character and how she advocates for animals in the film.
Erivo also wanted the collection to be accessible by offering a wide range of price points, with pieces retailing from less than $1,000 to more than $10,000 and 10 percent of the sales going to Dreams of Hope.
The Have a Heart x Cynthia Erivo collection is available both in-store and on the Muse x Muse website.
It launched on Oct. 29 and was celebrated over cocktails at House of the Red Pearl in downtown New York City with Erivo wearing pieces from the collection.
