Stars Love the Red Carpet Attitude of Neil Lane Jewelry

Angelina Jolie 

Though, at this point, she will forever be remembered for an awkward leg pose (Google "leg bombing") Angelina was the picture of class. In a black velvet Atelier Versace gown, split thigh high she finished her look with Neil Lane jewelry, Salvatore Ferragamo peeptoe shoes, and a Jaime Mascaro clutch. In the perfect example of jewelry becoming wardrobe, Ms. Jolie wore a pair of Brooches totaling 25 carats of diamonds in platinum at the waist of her gown...in the back!!!

Octavia Spencer

Remembering her red-carpet loyalties, Octavia went with her favorite designer, Tadashi Shoji, who was the only Designer that sent her gowns when she was started her acting career. Well maybe it is his experience with dressing her figure, but this silvery white beaded gown, with radiating ruched details was a knock out!!!

Kristen Wiig

At some point in time, someone (had to have been someone important), told Kristen that she looked great in a monotone head-to-toe look...and once again Taupe? Blush? Nude? Well they did her a dis-service, just once I would love to see Kristen in Jewel Tones. Thank God for the Jewels! The Comedian walked the carpet in J. Mendel finished with Prada shoes, Neil Lane jewelry, and a Judith Leiber bag.

Bold Colored Gems

Bright and vibrant colored gemstones that were big in past decades including pink, blue, orange and green, will make a resurgence. Gems will be large and accented with diamonds. One stunning suite chosen from the American Gem Trade Association is a 130-carat multicolored spinel necklace with a matching pair of 33-carat earrings from Somewhere In The Rainbow's collection. And, who could resist a pair of 30.07-carat sapphire earrings set in platinum from Shaftel Diamond Co., Tanzanite and diamond earrings from Takat Jewels will also be a popular choice on the red carpet.

Sapphires and Peridot from Adam Neeley Adam Neeley Fine Art Jewelry, Laguna Beach, CA

Statement Cuffs

Chunky cuff styles with geometric shapes and vintage designs will be prevalent. Designers Metalsmiths Sterling and Thistle&Bee's Art Deco and Retro styles set in sterling silver definitely draw attention to the wrist when worn alone or stacked.

Mega Drop Earrings

While diamond studs will always remain a staple, we will see a return to oversized drop or chandelier earrings that practically touch the collarbone. Look out for the ultra-long Zambian emerald earrings from the Gemfields Collection.

Deirdre Featherstone's Opal, Tanzanite, Blue Zircon,
Paraiba Tourmaline and Diamond Earrings

Diamond Accented Watches

No longer are watches only reserved for men on the red carpet. The latest timepieces for ladies feature pave diamond encrusted dials and delicate leather straps, as designed by Marco Mavilla.

Sustainable Jewelry

Rio Tinto's Global Design Competition Winner V. Saravanan is showcasing a 100% sustainable necklace manufactured by Tanishq and Foley Designs. "The Creator" necklace is made from aluminum leaf, using ethically mined Silvermist Diamonds(TM).

Cufflinks

Traditional square cufflinks are taking a backseat to styles with interesting patterns in contemporary metals. Designer Edward Mirell's pieces include woven detailing and black titanium.

About Platinum Jewelry

Platinum is the ideal choice for red carpet jewelry because it holds diamonds and precious gemstones more securely than any other metal. It is not only the highest quality metal, but its density makes it one of the most durable and enduring precious metals. Platinum is also naturally white, unlike white gold, which means it will not cast any tint onto a diamond or gemstone, allowing the stone's genuine color to sparkle brightly.
