Red Carpet Jewelry Wrap Up~

 Jewelry that is paraded down the red carpet and is viewed by millions and millions around the world, and goodness was it spectacular this year!  One of our favorites was Scarlett Johansen. Being a first time mom and showing of her incredible figure (and daring new hair cut) she absolutley shined in emeralds and diamonds. Scarletts Piaget Mediterranean Garden ear cuff was made from pink gold with five pear-shaped emeralds, 278 brilliant-cut diamonds, four pear-shaped aquamarines and two pear-shaped green tourmalines. Her statement making collar necklace was actually part of the dress and was created with swarovski crystals. Her Versace Aetelier green dress was superb and showcased her post baby body~

Margot Robbie ( she rose to fame being featured alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in "The  Wolf of Wall Street") was stunning in a black chiffon long dress by the late Yves Saint Laurent that was accented with jewelry on loan of royal descent. Margot was fortunate to wear a necklace that was created especially for the Duchess of Windsor by Van Cleef and Arpels. The Duchess had suggested to firm’s artistic director Renée Puissant (daughter of one of the principals Alfred Van Cleef) around 1938. Van Cleef had created the necklace that when zipped it is also functional as a bracelet.It took them 12 year to master the art of the zipper functioning. The necklace features 120 diamonds and 300 sapphires in 18k gold. It took 600 man hours to create this one piece and is valued at $1.5 Million dollars. What a sensational and historic piece of jewelry~

 Jennifer Hudson wowed the crowds in a canary yellow dress by Romona Keveza dress and 150 carats of Colombian Emeralds and canary diamonds by famed jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.

 Gwyneth Paltrow looked sensational in a pink column dress by Ralph & Russo. It was reminiscent of the pink Ralph Lauren dress she had worn in 1999 when she received an Oscar for her role "Shakespeare in Love".  She wore substantial sized Fire Phoenix earrings by Anna Hu Hauk Joaillerie (she's a former GIA alum!) . Featuring two pear shaped cabochon rubellites weighing 101 carats and two pear shaped cabochon rubellites weighing 22.88cts set with yellow and white diamonds, blue pink and purple sapphires, spinels, pariba tourmalines set in white gold. These have to be my favorite pair of earrings at the Oscars. Her ring also featured a oval shaped rubellite surrounded by pink and diamonds, also by Anna Hu and is called, "Petales d' Amour".

Beautiful combo with the pale pink and fierce color of the rubellites
The jewels completed her dress amazingly~

set in white gold worth $3,000,000.  The bracelet which was inspired by the Duchess of Windsor, features 5-baguette cut white diamonds weighing over 10cts with 380 brilliant cut white diamonds all set in white gold.A stunning suite of jewelry!

The intense color of her sapphire earrings were incredible~
 Cate Blanchett is always on the cutting edge of fashion and this time she went with a classic black dress by John Galliano for Maison Margiel. She paired this dress with a stunning blue turquoise and diamond collar necklace by Tiffany & Co. With up swept hair, good skin and subtle makeup, it was an exceptional red carpet look. 

Superb combination with the black velvet dress

Anna Wintour in not one, but two stunning necklaces~
 Anna Wintour forever stylish with her Parisian Bob, looked impeccable in a pale pink dress accented not with one but two stellar necklaces. She usually chooses Georgian necklaces (necklaces created with large gemstones in gold settings) for many front row fashion shows. Her large aquamarine and diamond necklace  was paired with a vintage rose cut diamond necklace. No word on the dress designer or jeweler.And yes, she wore her glasses inside at the Oscars~

 Vanity Fairs party after the Oscars is never to be missed by any winner or un winner from the Oscars. Beyonce wore a Stella McCartney Crepe backless dress, paired with the largest round dia0nd choker and massive emerald and diamond rings,  all by Lorraine Schwartz. Bigger is always better, especially with gems!

Her emerald and diamond rings were fascinatingly huge!

The diamond necklace is stellar~
 The Oscars wasnt the only place where statement pieces were found, the Grammys had a few recording artist that were wearing alot of sparkle! Lady Gaga was wearing a heavily beaded Brandon maxwell silver sequin dress. She added more opulence by wearing an incredible diamond and emerald drop necklace by Lorraine Schwartz necklace and earrings. No word on the worth but it has to be seven figures~

 
Incredible emerald and diamond jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz, love her eye makeup!

 Beyonce always decked out in Lorraine Schwartz didnt fail to impress wearing over $10 Million worth of Colombian emerald earrings and rings. Wearing 3 large rings on each hand has become her red carpet look~
