2026 Oscars Jewelry: One Necklace After Another

Editor's Note: This story was corrected post-publication to restate the origin of the vintage brooch Shaboozey wore to the Oscars. It was from the Briony Raymond Collection but was not a Van Cleef & Arpels brooch, as previously reported.
At the 98th Academy Awards, celebrities brought back necklaces, which have been fewer in number on the red carpet for the last two years.
Showstopping chokers, torques, and fancy yellow diamond drops were seen on many during the Oscars, held Sunday night in Los Angeles.
Those who continued to go without a necklace donned drop earrings, ears stacked with ear cuffs, and of course, cocktail rings set with large gemstones.
However, we would have to say that in addition to necklaces, brooches were a big trend this year, with stars like Damson Idris crafting their own bespoke pieces.

Under his line, Didris, Idris, who starred in “F1,” created a brooch featuring a 7.41-carat marquise-cut blue diamond.
So, without further ado, here are the best pieces of jewelry I spotted on the red carpet at the 2026 Oscars.

Necklaces are back on the red carpet, and Rose Byrne wore what was arguably the most talked about jewel of the night.
Her one-of-a-kind sculptural torque by Taffin centered on a 22.58-carat yellow-brown pear-shaped “Desert Diamond” with dark brown ceramic over gold.
“The ceramic setting frames the stone in a rich depth of color, allowing the warmth of the diamond to really emerge,” said James de Givenchy, the uber-talented designer behind Taffin.
Byrne also wore an “Arizona Blue” ceramic and 18-karat rose gold ring featuring a 16.54-carat Ashoka-cut diamond sourced from Botswana and cut by William Goldberg’s master cutters.
Saul Goldberg of William Goldberg described the cognac-colored stone as an “extremely rare” diamond.
“We were proud to collaborate with Taffin to bring such an exceptional diamond to the world,” he said.
Givenchy added, “Jewelry is meant to be worn and experienced, not simply kept in a case. I can’t imagine a more wonderful way to showcase it to the world than on a beautiful actress like Rose Byrne on the Oscars red carpet.”

Elle Fanning looked to the past when choosing her necklace, which was in keeping with the wisteria theme of her look for the night, a theme inspired by her childhood home, according to Vogue.
The 1903 Cartier necklace features a wisteria petal motif in diamonds, complimenting her Givenchy gown embroidered with multi-colored wisteria petals.
Chase Infiniti

It centers on a 9.06-carat fancy intense yellow cushion-cut diamond accented by additional diamonds totaling 57.15 carats.
For her ears, she paired platinum round brilliant diamond studs totaling 6.44 carats with the “Drops of Light” fancy vivid yellow pear-shaped diamond jacket earrings totaling 4.22 carats in 18-karat yellow gold.

Many stars kept with the no-necklace look on the red carpet, like dancer Misty Copeland.
Despite skipping a necklace, her Jared jewels totaled nearly $2 million.
The showstopper was a 27-carat emerald-cut diamond ring set with the “Mpho Diamond,” named after Mpho Tadubana, the woman who cut the stone.
Tadubana is seen in Jared’s “A Diamond Is Born” documentary.
Copeland also wore a pair of platinum diamond drop earrings with 3.25 carats of emerald- and heart-cut diamonds from the “Jared Atelier” collection.
Lola Kirke

Among the many necklaces spotted at the 2026 Oscars was Lola Kirke’s 1950s platinum and diamond fringe necklace from Briony Raymond Vintage.
Her diamond cluster earrings also were from the 1950s, featuring 7 carats of diamonds set in platinum, and were paired with an Art Deco diamond and platinum bracelet from Briony Raymond.
Kirke completed her look with two rings by Briony Raymond, the “Etoile” diamond ring in 18-karat white gold and an eternity band with channel-set diamonds in platinum.
Teyana Taylor

It wouldn’t be a 2026 Oscars jewelry roundup without showcasing Teyana Taylor’s look on the red carpet.
The “One Battle After Another” star kept with Tiffany & Co. for her Oscars look featuring plenty of diamonds and platinum.
She wore a necklace with an 18-carat diamond drop accented by additional diamonds, and her earrings showcased more than 12 carats of diamonds.

Emma Stone also skipped a necklace on the Oscars red carpet, but that didn’t diminish her Repossi jewelry look.
Stone stayed with white gold and diamonds throughout, with the “Brevis” ring featuring 2 pear-cut diamonds accented by pavé diamonds and the “Serti Sur Vide” ring with 7 pear-cut diamonds accented by 130 pavé diamonds.
On her ears, she wore the “Serti Sur Vide” earrings including pear-cut and pavé diamonds alongside the “Serti Sur Vide” ear cuff with a 0.25-carat pear-cut diamond and 17 pavé diamonds.
