Diamond jewelry was the big hit on the Grammy Awards red carpet last night, with lots of pendant earrings, icy studs, cuffs and a few statement necklaces thrown in for good measure. Gone are the colorful gems of the Globes and SAGs – which should come as no surprise since the music industry is more bling-obsessed than the thespian set

Jewelry tales of the rich and famous never cease to amaze me – from the extravagant acquisitions of New York’s tony billionaires (Brooke Astor, et al) to celebrity jewelry boxes full of baubles worth more than our mortgages. The latest entry in the latter category concerns the late Anna Nicole Smith, whose financial woes were well-reported following the death of her gazillionaire ‘husband’ back in the 90s.

If you wish to purchase pearl jewelry then it is better to be certain about the method and various factors considered while determining the pearl’s quality. These factors include: Luster – It indicates the quantity of light reflected from the surface of the pearl. The more the surface of the pearl glows, the better is its quality.

Jewelry hounds, it’s been a whirlwind of jewelry looky-looing lately, what with Awards Season in full swing here in the States. But across the pond in Paris there’s a ‘jewelry as fashion art’ display going down that’s not to be missed. The Spring 2010 Paris Couture shows are known for extravagant displays for only the rich and famous, but that doesn’t mean we can’t lower our jaws from afar, right?

The 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards shined a light on some unique red carpet jewelry choices for a change – some stunning, some, well, notsomuch. The winners in my book were Diane Kruger ( see my earlier post for more ), Kate Hudson in over $1 million of Cartier diamonds Marion Cotillard in over $1 million of Chopard in her hair alone (!), Christina Hendricks in another teardrop triumph (by Irit), and a glowing Christina Applegate in Lorraine Schwartz diamonds – including this unique diamond hair piece. Love it

SAG Awards jewelry is still dancing in my head, but before I get to my overall impressions (will post tomorrow), can I just take a moment to applaud Diane Kruger for once again killing it on the red carpet? Taking a cue from Michelle Obama’s penchant for young designer Jason Wu , Kruger stunned the crowd with a Wu (is it mustard-yellow, burnt-sienna, rustic-orange?) off-the shoulder gown accessorized with Harry Winston gold and ruby drop earrings and a series of ruby and diamond bracelets and bangles. It’s the perfect mix of ‘make an impression’ meets ‘taste’ in my book.

We jewelry and fashion hounds know there are sample sales and there are sample sales. Sometimes you find what you’re looking for only to realize the discounted price is more than you’d pay off the rack or the ‘huge’ selection they promise is wittled down to the gauche and the gaudy.

Well, jewelry hounds – we have another emerald earring red carpet jaw-dropper. Julianne Moore just showed on the 2010 Golden Globe red carpet with (what I assume) are the Bulgari emerald earrings she wears in their latest campaign. And, as I expected, they are even MORE magnificent than Angelina Jolie’s emerald earring stunners at the Oscars last year – if that’s possible.

Jewelry and fashion designers are the latest creative types to be tapped by Hollywood to bring buzz to upcoming film releases, and Disney/Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is shaping up to be spring’s big sizzler. So it comes as no surprise that another big name has attached themselves to merchandise jewelry for the movie ( Tom Binns is also in the mix with some stunning looks I’m already ‘mad’ about)

The he Spécialités Tourbillon Diamants Watch from the house of Blancpain is a very intricate piece of jewelry (yes, it seems to that more than being a timepiece) with a really hard to guess pattern. Being an overwhelming beauty that it is, the timepiece lays firm on a 40 mm wide white gold case.

It wasn’t a jewelry blow-out like we diamond-obsessed folks hope for, but The People’s Choice Awards did reveal some classy jewels, new color trends and a peak at awards show glamour-to -come. Winter white, strapless cocktail frocks and one-shoulder gowns were the fashion trends that emerged (kindof a snore, but classic)

Diamond jewelry was out in full force at the Palm Springs International Film Festival yesterday, which makes sense since the Opening Night Gala was sponsored by Cartier. And while the likes of Dame Helen Mirren, Oscar winner-Marion Cotillard, and the next Anne Hathaway – the divine Anna Kendrick (run, don’t walk to see her in Up In the Air ), graced us with their presence and sported stunning jewelry with their couture – you have to leave it to Miss Mimi to really class up the joint. Mariah Carey, who was given the Breakthrough Actress Award for her performance in Precious , appeared on the red carpet in more diamond bling than a Liberace convention.

Another year down, jewelry hounds, another year of frivolous fun in jewelry land.
