Red Carpet Jewels: 50th Annual CFDA Fashion Awards

Jessica Chastain and Jessica Paré sparkled in PLATINUM  jewelry at the  50th anniversary of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) in New York on June 4th.

Platinum is popular with celebrities since it holds diamonds and colored gemstones most securely, and makes them sparkle.
