Statement necklaces and diamond-heavy pieces were the common trends in celebrity jewelry at the 87th Academy Awards, which were held Sunday in Los Angeles and recognized the best in film in 2014.

Keeping it classic, many stars also opted for a diamond-dominated look, including Rita Ora, who accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz’s yellow gold and diamond earrings, and Reese Witherspoon, who dressed her ears up in Tiffany & Co.’s platinum cluster earrings.
