The Oscars’ Most Dazzling Diamonds
Awards season culminated in a smattering of bold statement pieces from the likes of Chopard and Tiffany.
Actress Gal Gadot wore Tiffany & Co. jewels to the Academy Awards, held Sunday evening in Los Angeles. Her show-stopping necklace is rendered in platinum with diamonds and aquamarine.
Los Angeles--This year’s Academy Awards saw celebrities opting for refined, elegant dresses in lieu of princess-esque ball gowns, but there were still plenty of dramatic jewels to remind one that it’s the most important night in Hollywood.
Tiffany & Co. had beautiful red carpet moments on director Greta Gerwig and actress Gal Gadot, and Bulgari, Cartier and Harry Winston also made their annual appearances.
The biggest winner of the night? That honor went to Chopard, which was absolutely ubiquitous on the red carpet.
Below, see all the jewelry that stole the show.

“Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot wore jewelry from Tiffany & Co. befitting of a superhero.

She finished the look with stud platinum and diamond earrings, as well as a platinum, aquamarine and diamond ring.
