The annual Primetime Emmy Awards took place Sunday at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

Eugene and Dan Levy, a father-son duo who starred in nine-time Emmy-winning show “Schitt’s Creek,” hosted the 76th annual Primetime Emmys.

This year marked new records for the award show with “Shōgun,” an FX drama set in Japan, setting the record for most wins by a show for a single season after being nominated for 25 Emmys and taking home 18.

“The Bear,” an FX show which premiered on Hulu, set the record for being the most nominated comedy with 23 nominations in its category.

If I were giving out awards for Outstanding Jewelry Seen at the Emmys, these stars would receive my nomination.

Here are my eight favorite looks from the 76th annual Emmys, in no particular order.

Maya Rudolph

Comedian and actress Maya Rudolph was decked out in matching Bulgari “Serpenti” high jewelry.

Her Serpenti yellow and white gold necklace featured 2 pear-shaped emeralds, 55 marquise-shaped diamonds, 69 round-shaped emeralds, and pavé-set diamonds.

Rudolph’s Serpenti earrings, bracelet, and ring were also set in yellow and white gold with diamonds and emeralds.

She received two nominations, one for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance in “Loot” and another for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series with “Saturday Night Live.”

Dern styled the necklace with a bracelet and ring from the jeweler’s high jewelry “Bengal Byzantine Broadway” collection.

Actor and rapper Tyler James Williams began his career as a child actor, best known for starring as the main character of “Everybody Hates Chris.”

For this year’s Emmys, he was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series with “Abbott Elementary,” which also received a nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Williams styled his sleeveless Dolce & Gabbana suit with a variety of pieces from Tiffany & Co.

He wore the “Flames” brooch and a variety of “Lock” bangles, while his hands were covered in “T” rings in yellow gold.

British actress Ella Purnell starred in “Fallout”, which received a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series.

For her Emmys look, she adorned herself in De Beers.

Purnell wore the “Arpeggia” five-line diamond earrings and bracelet in 18-karat white gold with 16.87 carats and 15.92 carats of diamonds, respectively.

She also wore the classic round brilliant diamond line bracelet in 18-karat white gold.

Her hands were styled with the “Infinity Heart” ring with round-brilliant diamonds totaling 4.06 carats set in platinum, the “Spring Toi Et Moi” diamond ring in 18-karat white gold with 3.31 carats of diamonds, and the “Arpeggia” three row diamond ring with 1.65 carats of diamonds set in 18-karat white gold.

Lily Gladstone, a Native American actress, writer, and producer best known for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” wore pieces from two different jewelry designers.

She styled her black velvet and satin Rodarte gown with an etched copper chest plate designed by Indigenous artist Agnes Seaweed Wisden of Sea Wisdom Design.

Gladstone paired the chest plate with a ring and matching bracelet also by Wisden.

She also wore jewelry by Wempe.

Gladstone made history at the Emmys this year with Kali Reis as they became the first two Indigenous women to be nominated for an Emmy. She was nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie category for “Under the Bridge.”

Reese Witherspoon  
 

Reese Witherspoon was nominated for Lead Actress in a Drama Series along with her co-star Jennifer Aniston for “The Morning Show.”

The series also received a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series.

Witherspoon matched her black Dior dress with cream-colored floral appliques to her yellow diamond jewelry, wearing a diamond pendant choker, rings, and earrings by Bucherer.

All of her pieces featured fancy yellow and fancy intense yellow diamonds set in platinum.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph

Actress and singer Da’Vine Joy Randolph joined the many stars wearing Bulgari’s Serpenti jewelry at the Emmys, including Rudolph, Saoirse Ronan, Nava Mau, and Miriam Leone.

Randolph wore two Serpenti necklaces intertwined, both in white gold with two pear brilliant-cut diamonds as the snake’s eyes and pavé diamonds along its body.

She also wore a Serpenti bracelet in white gold with two pair-shaped emeralds and pavé-set diamonds.

This year, Randolph won Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars for her role in “The Holdovers.”

At the Emmys, she received a nomination as Best Guest Actress in a Comedy for “Only Murders in the Building.”

Aja Naomi King 

Aja Naomi King, an actress best known for her role in “How to Get Away with Murder,” received a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie with “Lessons in Chemistry.”

She styled her pink “Peonie” dress by Giambattista Valli Haute Couture with a cool-toned necklace and rings by Buccelati.

Viola Davis and Connie Britton also wore pieces by Buccelati to the Emmys.
