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
