Diamond drops and studs rule Emmys
From drop earrings to studs and tennis bracelets to sweeping necklaces, diamond jewelry was the go-to look celebrities and stylists went for at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards
Gina Rodriguez, Emmy presenter and star of the CW series Jane the Virgin, was dressed in Forevermark jewels for the evening. She wore a pair of 18-karat white gold and diamond “Circle” earrings and a Forevermark by Premier Gem cushion-shaped “The Center of My Universe” diamond ring with a pink diamond halo set in 18-karat rose gold and platinum.
From drop earrings to studs and tennis bracelets to sweeping necklaces, diamond jewelry was the go-to look celebrities and stylists went for at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards, held Sunday in Los Angeles. It was a night of formal jewelry, void of risk or adventure but full of pieces that made a classic, safe statement.
One possible reason for the subdued jewels were the ornate, embellished and/or one-shoulder necklines on many gowns, a fact that could also account for the minimal amount of necklaces worn, said Amanda Gizzi, Jewelers of America’s director of public relations and special events.
Still, stylists and celebrities go for jewelry that draws attention to the face, so earrings from classic studs to longer, stick-like drops were prevalent. Stacked diamond wrist wear, such as bangles and tennis bracelets, also were a common trend. Click through this gallery to see 15 different diamond jewelry looks from the Emmys.
