Jewelry Fashionistas Look to Drew Barrymore
Do you prefer the jewelry looks from the golden days of Hollywood or the new, forward-thinking jewelry fashions of the trendsetter crowd? At the recent Golden Globe Awards, viewers saw both.
Sandra Bullock was the big star of the night, winning Best Actress in a Drama for her role in The Blind Side (for which her character was quite a jewelry trendsetter, too). Sandra wore a beautiful purple gown and paired it with gray diamond earrings weighing 40 carats! Colored diamonds have been emerging in fashion more every year, including yellow fancy colored, champagne, and now gray. There was a time when these diamonds were considered unacceptable to even enter the market, but now, thanks to designers and fashion icons like Sandra Bullock, the exposure to the beauty of colored diamonds has grown and become appreciated.
Drew Barrymore also went for a modern diamond look with 20-carat diamond stud earrings and a diamond-and-moonstone ring, totaling 80 carats. She won the Best Actress award for the best movie or miniseries.
Other notable jewelry looks from the night:
- Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife) – timeless, vintage look with pear-shaped diamond drop earrings.
- Nicole Kidman – 19th-century diamond bow brooch, platinum bracelets with diamonds and emeralds.
- Carey Mulligan (An Education) – 3.5-carat pear-shaped, old-mine-cut diamond drop earrings; 19th-century diamond riviere necklace with 20 carats of diamonds (worn in hair); 19th-century pear-shaped diamond crown ring; 19th-century diamond swallow cuff bracelet.
- Chloe Sevigny – marquise-shaped diamond ring in yellow gold, standing out among the sea of white metals.
You know the saying—diamonds are still a girl’s best friend, no matter the color, shape, or size. Marco Bicego is a designer with plenty of fashionable yellow gold designs at more affordable prices.
Men’s Jewelry Highlights
And let’s not forget the men. Among them, jeweled cuff links abounded. True Blood actor Ryan Kwanten walked the red carpet in a pair of 7.65-carat natural rough diamond cuff links! For men who like the look but don’t want to mortgage their homes, cuff-link options—especially from Scott Kay—are affordable, fashionable, and perfect for making any guy stand out.
