Academy Awards 2016 - diamonds rule down the red carpet



The Oscar's are always a glittering affair - this year they were particularly so with a heavy dose of diamonds on ears, wrists, fingers and even occasionally necks.   There were a few little splashes of colour, mostly green, blue or pink/red,  but the star's stylists definitely showed their preference for the colourless gem.   Earrings were often large, following this year's trends and while there were many bare necks, necklaces did make the odd appearance - more noticeably so at the pre and after parties than down the red carpet itself.



Necklaces of note down the red carpet included Naomi Watts in Bulgari - she can often be relied upon for a necklace and this year's stunning necklace was quite fabulous.    Charlize Theron (top photo) has also been known to don a spectacular necklace regularly and this year wore Harry Winston diamonds to a value of $3.7million with the long sautoir matching her plunging neckline.  


Olivia Wilde wore a diamond collar by Neil Lane that suited her swept up hair and gave a Victorian air ... if you discount the contemporary gown. 


Jennifer Lawrence didn't wow with her jewellery but she did wear a fine chain of diamonds by Chopard, its just unfortunate that they could hardly be seen - a good case for choosing colour or even black to go with her dress.  



Sophie Turner (above) wore Tiffany diamonds around her neck and tsavorite garnet and diamonds on her ears and Tina Fey (below) bucked the diamond trend by selecting a blue sapphire and diamond necklace by Bulgari.  











I loved Saorise Ronan's (above) choice of green jadeite, emerald, diamonds and pearl earrings by Chopard.   They were the same length, but a different combination that caught attention and highlighted her shimmering green dress.  I applaud her jewellery adventures this awards season and hope to see her down the red carpet next year too!




Priyanka Chopra must have worn the most expensive jewellery on the night - Lorraine Schwartz diamonds valued at $7 million!    They were certainly big stones.




Sophie Vergara often chooses bold jewellery and this year went with Lorraine Schwartz blue sapphire and diamond vine earrings.




 Jennifer Garner went for a classic look in emerald and diamond earrings by Neil Lane.




Jessica Biel also went for emeralds and diamonds, hers are by Piaget.





Heidi Klum wore Lorraine Schwartz white and pink diamonds.






Brie Larson chose Niwaka pearl and diamond earrings and wore more diamonds in her hair.  There was no note if the belt was gems and pearls...




Jennifer Jason Leigh wore Piaget earrings that included 200 diamonds, 22 freshwater cultured pearls and 374 pink sapphires.



Alicia Vikander wore Louis Vuitton diamond earrings.



 Cate Blanchett wore Tiffany diamonds.




 
Julianne Moore went for Chopard diamonds for earrings a cuff bracelet.




Kate Winslet chose Nirav Modi diamonds for her earrings and bracelet.




Kerry Washington rocked the vintage look with 60s hair and earrings (diamonds by Harry Winston 1963) and the top of her dress at least was a bit Barbarella-ish!




Lady Gaga went for serious sized diamond earrings by Lorraine Schwartz.




Emily Blunt wore Niwaka diamond earrings



Red carpet interviewer Guiliana Rancic wore massive diamond earrings by Forevermark - perhaps a bit too large.




 Maria Menounos also went with Lorraine Schwartz diamonds.



Reese Witherspoon wore Tiffany diamonds.



Daisy Ridley wore Chanel diamonds.



 Margot Robbie wore Forevermark diamond hoop earrings.



Quite a few necklaces by Pasquale Bruni were seen at Oscar related parties.  Two pairs of earrings that were pretty spectacular at one of these events were Anne Hathaway's diamond and yellow gold earrings by Irene Neuwirth and Minni Driver's diamond earrings in white and rose gold by Forevermark.

SAG Awards 2016 - Red Carpet Jewels

Nicole Kidman wore a beautiful diamond and emerald sautoir by Fred Leighton to the 2016 SAG Awards.


The stars came out to play at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards this year!   Diamonds of course featured heavily.  In the coloured stone department green was the most popular choice, a few reds and pinks appeared and the timeless favourite of black.    Earrings once again were the most popular jewel to wear but a few stand out necklaces made an appearance.  Bracelets and rings abounded as well.  

There are lots of sparklies to get through... so without more ado, let me show you some of them (in no particular order)!
