‘Twilight’ star Ashley Greene says she took Alice’s family crest necklace and a ring that Jasper gave her character: ‘I will keep those forever’

• “Twilight” star Ashley Greene told Insider which props she took from the set of the hit movie.
• Greene said that she kept her character’s Cullen crest necklace and a ring from Jasper.
• The actress said that those items hold “a lot of weight” for her and she’ll keep them “forever.”

“Twilight” star Ashley Greene revealed the sentimental props that she took from the set of the hit vampire franchise.

“I think we all did,” Greene, who starred as Alice Cullen, told Insider of the cast when asked if she swiped any items.

Greene said that she took two items: her character’s necklace that has the Cullen family’s crest on it and a piece of jewelry intended to be from Jasper Hale (Jackson Rathbone), Alice’s partner.

“I took Alice’s Cullen crest and then I took a ring that wasn’t necessarily featured in the film, but we decided was a ring that Jasper gave Alice,” she said.

Greene said that she stores both items securely in a safe “with the rest of my valuables.”

“Those two things held a lot of weight for me and so I will keep those forever,” she said. “We have auctioned off a lot of stuff, but I think those two things will stay with me.”

Greene first starred as a vampire with the skill of precognition in the first “Twilight” film that hit theaters in 2008. The movie, directed by Catherine Hardwicke and based on Stephenie Meyer’s novel of the same name, starred Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen.

The relationship between Bella, a human, and Edward, a vampire, was the center of “Twilight” and its four sequels: “New Moon” (2009), “Eclipse” (2010), “Breaking Dawn: Part 1” (2011), and “Breaking Dawn: Part 2” (2012).

Greene said that even though it’s been 10 years since the last film was released in theaters, she still sees her former costars, who she refers to as her “family,” from time to time.

The actress said that she and Peter Facinelli (who played Carlisle Cullen) “run most heavily in the same circles” so they see each other “a good amount.”

“It’s funny because I think Peter will always kind of be that dad to all of us and always wants to get everyone together,” Greene said.

The star said that she and Nikki Reed, who played her adoptive sister Rosalie Hale, also “reconnected” over starting businesses.

Reed founded the sustainable fine jewelry company BaYou with Love while Greene launched the hormonal and menstrual wellbeing brand Hummingway with her sister-in-law, Olivia Khoury, in 2021.

“I reached out to her when I was starting Hummingway for a lot of advice and that was really nice, Greene said.

Greene said that she recently interacted with Rathbone at a fan event “and it was really wonderful.”

Of Kellan Lutz, who starred as fellow coven member Emmett Cullen, Greene said that she “will always adore seeing him, because he and I were very close before we even started ‘Twilight.’”

Greene and Lutz reunited in 2021, wearing baseball costumes similar to the ones they donned in the fan-favorite sequence from “Twilight,” for a video for content creator Matt Cutshall.

“He and I were saying that we forget how much we love these characters because we haven’t picked them up and revived them in so long,” Greene said, and you kind of just snap right back into it.”

Greene said the moment made her realize how “real” the nostalgia is, prompting her to start a “Twilight” rewatch podcast with Kast Media called “The Twilight Effect.”

The first two episodes of the podcast will be released on March 15, with new episodes dropping weekly. Greene and her best friend, Melanie “Mel” Howe will dive into the behind-the-scenes details of the making of the films, and be joined by familiar faces from the franchise.
