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)!

...and some diamond bracelets too!

Christina Ricci in Fred Leighton bracelets and rings featuring amethyst and diamonds....

...and chandelier earrings.

Lauren Bacall's Jewellery Upcoming Auction

The amazing Lauren Bacall was a favourite actress of mine for decades (that's a bit telling in the age department!), playing strong if not sassy female roles.   Starring in films for seventy years, Ms Bacall died last August and the silver screen is poorer for her passing.    

A collection of selected bronze sculptures, jewellery, decorative arts, tribal works of art, prints, and paintings is currently touring  - it has been to  Hong Kong and Paris and is currently in London, before heading to Los Angeles and finally New York - where it will be auctioned at the end of March.

I love that she wasn't afraid of colour and she favoured texture and layering in her jewellery pieces!  


Amethyst earrings by Jean Schlumberger - the gems are only attached on one side, so that they would flutter with slight movements.

Sapphire earrings and a jadeite ring by Darlene de Selde :

A gold rope bracelet which Ms Bacall wore regularly with another similar bracelet that was encrusted with diamonds.   The little camel was a favourite of hers, and Elizabeth Gage was commissioned to turn it into a brooch.

An enamel and gold bangle also by Jean Schlumberger.

This divine ring features a central stone of amethyst surrounded by diamonds and bounded by turquoise.

According to the Auction house, Bonhams, prices are expected to be reasonable... what would you fancy owning?

Till next

Jewellery at the SAG Awards 2015

Another awards night has been and gone.  Earrings were once again the highlight, very few necklaces, some bracelets and larger cocktail rings.   As the Screen Actors Guild Awards are a little less dressy, many actresses broke out of the white diamond-only lane to wear coloured gems. 

Here are some of the coloured gemstone highlights...

One of the few to wear jewels around her neck was Jennifer Aniston (above) who wore a 'body chain' by Amrit.   Yes folks, that chain just keeps on going .... down!   From what I have seen it also went around  her sides and back but it was difficult to see with her long hair down.

Viola Davis in pearl and coral earrings:

Sarah Hyland in Lorraine Schwartz sapphire and diamond earrings:

Reese Witherspoon in Harry Winston:

Emily Rossum in Cartier:

Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting in Forevermark:

Gretchen Mol in Solange Azagury-Partridge:

 Vitalie Taittinger (of the champagne family):

Shaun Robinson:

And sporting the earring cuff trend in diamonds was Emma Stone...
