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.

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.
