Equally as important as wearing fancy designer outfits to important events is wearing the right jewelry to accompany these expensive outfits. And nothing beats diamond jewelry because nothing says perfection like diamonds. These pieces add glamor to the stars’ overall image: diamonds speak of luxury, royalty, beauty. Whether it be diamond rings, bracelets, necklaces, or earrings, these beautiful pieces are quickly becoming the celebrities’ best friends. The red-carpet look just is not complete without their brilliance.
Famous Celebrities who Love Them
It is all about lifestyle and taste. Elizabeth Taylor, for instance, is known for her fabulous collection of fine jewels. Included in her line of jewels are a 33-carat Krupp Diamond ring, a diamond tiara, a La Peregrina pearl, a yellow heart-shaped diamond necklace, the Duchess of Windsor diamond brooch, a pear-shaped 69-carat diamond, a 29-carat diamond ring, and the Grand Duchess of Russia emeralds. Taylor believes that she is merely the custodian of these precious gems and she is duty bound to protect and love these beautiful pieces.
Gemstones have also been used to ornament the style icons’ apparel. The stars’ gowns and bags glitter with diamonds and crystal. And these gems are not only used for such. In 2002, Laura Elena Herring was spotted wearing a fabulous pair of shoes designed by Stuart Weitzman. These $1 million platinum shoes were lined with diamonds. The same designer once again came up with another $50,000 platinum and diamond sandal masterpiece which was worn by Trista Rehn during her fairy tale wedding with Ryan Sutter in 2003. In 2005, Tyra Banks also modeled a diamond bra created by Mouwad.
The fondness for diamond jewelry transcends gender as many male celebrities have taken a fancy to these brilliant stones and elaborate jewelry designs, as well. David Beckham is often seen wearing his $12,500 diamond earring from time to time. Prince and George Michael also wear diamond earrings.
The Bedazzling Celebrities This Year
In the 2007 Oscars, celebrities dazzled the crowd with their breathtaking beauty, amazing gowns, and exquisite jewelry. Anne Hathaway was seen wearing a beautiful bracelet lined with 100 carat diamonds. Queen Latifah was all gleamed up with her fabulous 10 carat diamond ring and her 21 carat diamond earrings. Nicole Kidman sported cuffs lined with 375 carat diamonds.
In the Golden Globes, Angeline Jolie wowed the crowd with her one of a kind classic Indian-style 22 carat gold with rose cut diamonds. Beyonce Knowles, on the other hand, showed up with a very attractive ivory bangle lined with multi colored diamonds matched with a pair of dangling earrings also lined with multi colored diamonds. Penelope Cruz showed everyone that one may actually do without a fancy necklace as long as one dons a pair of flower earrings as exquisite as the 10 carat white and yellow diamond ones she wore.
The Happy Jewelers
And so flourishes the wonderful friendship between the stars and their favorite jewelers. Celebrities express the specs they want and the entrepreneurs are quick to present them with options. The right cut, the right settings, the right designs – all for the fitting price that celebrities are willing to shell out. Often times, it is the jewelry designers who come up to the stars to let them showcase their new collection during important events to gain exposure for the company. They let the stars choose the line that strikes their fancy and loan these items to them. Needless to say, these stars will be photographed along with the modeled pieces, thus becomes advantageous for the jewelers as well. Among the designers who loan jewels for important awards are Michael Katz, Harry Winston, and Fred Leighton. Some designers have many celebrity clients so they have to make sure they do not have duplicates so no one wears the same item at once. Diamond jewelry designers and businessmen have Marilyn Monroe to thank, as she helped them in promoting the diamond industry through the frenzy of Hollywood premieres and big social occasions.
