The 68th annual Grammy Awards kicked off with showstopping performances by the Best New Artist nominees, and the jewels stars wore on the red carpet were just as attention-grabbing. 

Chokers, torques, elongated earrings, and cool-tone metals took over with men going beyond just a brooch and watch to stack on their rings.

Although, some musicians took a more minimal approach to their jewelry this year while others chose to forgo jewelry altogether.

Lady Gaga centered her look on her black feathered gown by Matières Fécales sans jewelry, except for her 10-carat engagement ring. Kesha seemed to have forgotten her jewelry along with her shoes on the red carpet.

Miley Cyrus hopped on the growing brooch trend predicted for this year with her leather jacket by Celine featuring an oversized gold-toned brooch with a cool-toned “M” dangling from the center.

She wore jewelry by Pomellato, including the “Iconica” earrings in 18-karat rose gold.

Cyrus completed her look with a ring stack featuring the “Iconica” ring in 18-karat rose gold and five “Together” rings in 18-karat white and rose gold with diamonds.

PinkPantheress, who is known for performing on stage with her purse, traded her handbag for lab-grown diamond accessories by Pandora.

Although, she still skipped an accessory—wearing no earrings on the red carpet—and highlighted her décolletage with a custom “Infinite” necklace featuring a fringe of lab-grown diamonds totaling 68 carats in 14-karat white gold.

She completed the look with the “Era” ring and “Infinite” bangle both with Pandora’s lab-grown diamonds set in 14-karat white gold.

Laufey was one of the many musicians who chose a more minimal jewelry look for the red carpet.

She wore Jared Atelier’s “Flower” earrings from its collab with Shy Creation. The earrings feature 14.75 carats of pear- and round-cut diamonds set in 18-karat white gold.

Bad Bunny took to the stage to accept Grammy awards in the Best Música Urbana Album and Album of the Year categories with a single pavé diamond hoop by Carier in his left ear and a diamond ring.

While he didn’t join the men stacking on multiple jewels at the award show this year, he debuted Schiaparelli’s first menswear collection with a lace-up velvet tuxedo.

He also had Cartier’s “Tortue” watch in yellow gold hidden under his sleeve.

Justin and Hailey Bieber

Justin and Hailey Bieber wore coordinating black outfits with diamond jewels galore.

The couple both looked to Lorraine Schwartz for their jewels.

Justin wore a necklace with 100 carats of diamonds, a nose ring, and earrings while Hailey showcased a custom collar centering on a 30-carat pear-cut diamond, 20-carat pear-cut earrings, and a 12-carat pear-cut ring.

The Biebers also coordinated their “Ice Out” pins, worn to voice opposition to the recent U.S. immigration enforcement policies and the fatal shootings of Alex Peretti and Renee Nicole Good. A number of celebrities wore the pins to the Grammys, including Carole King, Billie Eilish, Kehlani, Rhiannon Giddens, and Brandi Carlile.

Teddy Swims was one of the men at the Grammys to stack on their jewels.

He showcased a neck mess of chains in black- and white-toned metal, wore edgy earrings featuring pearls, and among his many rings was Bliss Lau’s “Kaleidoscope” ring set in sterling silver. The set is comprised of four rings that come together as one.

As a brand ambassador for Pandora, Tyla was dripping in jewels by the brand.

She joined the musicians choosing chokers with the custom “The Together Collier” necklace featuring 116 lab-grown diamonds in 14-karat white gold. Also in her neck stack were the “Era” tennis bracelets used to create two additional chokers.

Decked out from her head to her toes, Tyla also wore the “Era” anklet with bezel-set lab-grown diamonds dangling on a paperclip chain, the “Era” bracelet, and two handfuls of “Era” and “Infinite” rings in 14-karat yellow gold with lab-grown diamonds.

Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah took sculptural jewels to a new level with her neck mess seen on the red carpet.

She wore Alexis Bittar’s “Brut Mosaic” collar paired with the “Solanales” woven crystal collar in 14-karat gold-plated brass.

On her ears she wore the “Brutalist” ripple earrings with lucite shaped to ripple like water, on each wrist she wore the “Brut” gold embossed cuffs, and on her fingers were the “Solanales” crystal orbiting ring and the “Solanales” crystal coiled pebble rings.

Later, Queen Latifah changed her outfit to present the Grammy in the Best Rap Album category to Kendrick Lamar.

For his watch, he went with Cartier’s “Tank Américaine” timepiece with diamonds in white gold.

He completed the look with Jacob & Co.’s three-row diamond band featuring 4.31 carats of diamond in platinum.

Karol G also wore Jacob & Co., opting to wear only its boutique watch and no other jewels on the red carpet.

The 18-karat white gold boutique watch features 19.17 carats of Ashoka-cut diamonds, 1.05 carats of Ashoka-cut trillion diamonds, and 6.21 carats of Ashoka-cut diamonds on the dial.
