Diamonds were the trend of the evening at the 60th annual Emmy Awards. The diamond anniversary of the Emmys was aptly honored with the ladies of television sparkling with diamonds.
America Ferrara looked dazzling as she demonstrated a taste of old Hollywood glamour with a 19th century diamond flower necklace. The necklace was complimented by 2.5-carat mine-cut diamond pendant earrings, a rose-cut diamond cluster bracelet, and a 19th century diamond line bracelet.
Mary-Louise Parker was not to be outdone either with her 4.05-carat cushion-cut diamond stud earrings with pave detail. A double and triple raw diamond bracelet and pear shaped diamond bracelet completed her ensemble.
Diamond drop earrings were a big hit of the night, with many celebrities sporting the look, each with individual details. Faces of stars were lit up with the gleam of diamonds sparkling next to their cheeks. Diamond drop earrings tend to draw attention to the face. And why not, with all of the beautiful faces lining the red carpet? These earrings were definitely the biggest trend of the evening.
Candice Bergen sparkled with diamond pendant earrings set in platinum. Meanwhile, Debra Messing chose a more traditional look. She lit up the red carpet with 19th century mine-cut fan pendant earrings amounting to 25 carats. Hayden Panettiere shared Candice Bergen’s love for platinum with her own diamond drop earrings set in platinum.
Diamond bracelets are a great way to accessorize any red carpet outfit. Bracelets are also easy to layer without looking overdone. With every movement the stars made they sparkled with these lovely diamond bracelets.
Heidi Klum showed off three beautiful bracelets, the first of which was a diamond and lavender jade piece. She also wore a diamond braided bracelet and a diamond and turquoise bangle. Lauren Conrad certainly delivered in bejeweling her wrist with a 32-carat diamond bracelet. Teri Hatcher adorned herself with several diamond and platinum bracelets.
A diamond necklace really makes a statement. Diamond necklaces draw the eye up from the body to highlight the wearer’s face. For the beauties who took to the red carpet on the 21st, this focus on the face is a good thing.
Jennifer Love Hewitt was radiating with one diamond necklace valued at $120,000 and another with over 48-carats valued at over $1.5 million. Jillian Dempsy glittered wearing a 19th century diamond Riviera necklace and a diamond link necklace. Rose Byrne looked truly sensational in her Edwardian double diamond strand and diamond cluster necklace in platinum. This, she layered with two diamond chain necklaces in platinum.
Diamonds made the stars shine even more brightly than usual at the 2008 Emmy Awards. The look of old world Hollywood glamour is definitely a trend to watch. More and more stars are opting for that Marilyn Monroe opulence. Diamonds are indeed a girl’s best friend. The leading ladies of television looked stunning surrounded by so many friends, and the glamorous look is not leaving any time soon.
Achieving a red-carpet diamond look on a budget is not an impossible task. The stars have stylists who help them assemble a desired look out of their clothing and jewelry, and they can afford lots of large glittering stones. For the average person, it requires more creativity than cash.
Using smaller diamonds is a great way to emulate the look of the stars. Simple half-carat or quarter-carat stud earrings achieve a similar effect to the glittering effect of multiple-carat rocks that dangle form the lobes of the famous. Likewise, a simple diamond tennis bracelet set in platinum, white gold, or yellow gold can add lots of sparkle to one’s wrist.
One should not fake it until they make it. Nothing screams fake louder than a woman with a half inch square rock on her finger holding a knockoff designer bag at a fast food restaurant. Friends will know better, knowing that the person is not wealthy enough for such finery, and strangers and acquaintances will see right through the act. Smaller real diamonds are a much better usage of one’s money. One may think they can pull off big fake jewelry, but really, nobody is buying it, so please don’t fake it.
If even small diamonds are out of budget, one can fake it, but tastefully. Stay small, with simple earrings and necklaces. Only wear them when at appropriate events – not every day or on Saturdays in sweat pants. Nobody will think twice about simple pieces that compliment one’s look.
The look of diamonds in one which every lady wants to achieve. The stars give glimpses into the world of diamonds which most can only dream about. There is a diamond or diamond look for every woman that is within grasp. It simply takes a little more effort and creativity to pull the look together. One can beautifully emulate the stars on their Emmy night in their own unique manner without even a tenth of the budget.
