From Charlize Theron’s extra-long Harry Winston piece to Mary J. Blige’s Pasquale Bruni bib, it was all about dressing up the neckline at and around the Academy Awards.
Eye-catching, glamorous necklaces were the winning jewelry choice at this year’s Oscars.
Diamond-laden necklaces and dress necklines that framed them were the show-stealing look before, during and after the Academy Awards on Sunday.

Big earrings remained an awards show staple as well, illustrated by the outstanding and oversized pair from Forevermark worn by Giuliana Rancic, as well as the graduated Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings donned by Oscar nominee Cate Blanchett.
