Diamonds, dripping on the fingers, wrists and ears of young Hollywood ingenues and cinema royalty alike, made their way down the red carpets as celebrities celebrated the 82nd Annual Academy Awards®. From the nominees to the presenters to the party hoppers, the stars showed off their diamonds in unique and youthful ways for the biggest night in film.
Diamonds went both edgy and glamorous as the world was introduced to the newest generation of Hollywood stars. “This year we saw the emergence of a new generation of actors who have embraced their individuality,” says Jamie Cadwell, Director of the Diamond Information Center. “They are using the red carpet to express their personal styles, whether vintage inspired or very modern, we are seeing diamonds used in an exciting variety of ways.”
A dazzling Anna Kendrick, nominated for Best Supporting Actress, continued her streak of old-Hollywood glam in Kwiat’s Diamond Pendant Earrings. Amanda Seyfried offset her ethereal gown with 250 carats of contrasting Brown, Champagne and Mint Diamond Geometric Bracelets by Lorraine Schwartz. Fan favorite Kristen Stewart went understated in a simple H. Stern Diamond Bracelet while Rachel McAdams went for perfect match in show stopping Natural Multi Color Diamond Earrings by Lorraine Schwartz.
Diamonds in the hair created a chic, yet unexpected look for red carpet regulars and freshman starlets alike. Presenter Elizabeth Banks accented her gown with a delicate Diamond Head Band by Fred Leighton, while Diane Kruger went floral in her Chanel Fine Jewelry Black and White Diamond Flower Hair Pin. Zoe Kravitz brought rock-and-roll to the Kodak by piling on the diamonds, finishing off her look with a stunning 19th Century Diamond Wing Brooch worn in her hair by Fred Leighton.
The most stunning diamond moment of the night came with Best Actress Nominee Carey Mulligan’s unbelievable 19th Century Cascading Diamond and Diamond Briolette Earrings perfectly paired with a delicate Everlon Diamond Knot Ring, all by Fred Leighton. “These earrings came into our collection a week before the Oscars,” says Rebecca Selva of Fred Leighton, “and from the moment we saw them we knew they were for Carey.”
