Most Memorable Jewelry Redcarpet Moments of 2017

Let’s countdown the most memorable jewelry red carpet moments of 2017, shall we?

JANE FONDA at the 2017 Emmy Awards-  The legendary actress had our jaws dropping when she hit the red carpet at the 2017 Emmy Awards.  After all, when Jane turned around, who could ignore the  $2.4 million one-of-a-kind emerald and diamond  pieces by Grismondi 1754 which included a show stopping necklace that extended down her back? necklaceearringsdressRUTH NEGGA at the 2017 Oscars- We did a double take when actress Ruth Negga stepped out on the red carpet for the 2017 Oscars. Our eyes gravitated towards her headpiece which was a brilliant and creative move on her stylist’s (Karla Welch) part. The headpiece which was by Irene Neuwirth with Gemfields rubies was down right drool-worthy and we simply could not take our eyes off it.ruth neggaruth neggaTRACEE ELLIS ROSS at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards- The Blackish star brought her ring game to the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards. Her fistful of diamond rings which hardly went unnoticed, were composed of eight different rings. Three matching Noudar diamond rings, a Noudar two-finger armor ring, a halo-encrusted diamond ring by L’Dezen by Payal Shah, a spiky wing-like creation  and lastly sculptural diamond pieces by YEPREM and Kavant&Sharat. Lesson to learn? More is more- so pile on those rings!

Who knew the bathrobe was part of a SS18 runway collection? But what elevated the straight from the bathroom look was pairing the robe with $7.8 million dollars worth of Lorraine Schwartz diamond jewelry. A smart but buzz worthy part on Rita Ora.ringsjewelsjewelry CARA DELEVINGNE at the London premiere of ‘Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets’ – Too much and over the top? Maybe but it was certainly memorable. Made exclusively for the model, the custom one-of-a-kind jeweled cape by Burberry was inspired by British vintage jewelry. The model showed us how we can take a plain black suit to new heights with just the right amount of sparkle.cara delevingne cara delevingne cara delevingne

Best Newcomer of 2017 – Andrea Riseborough

Ever since we first laid eyes on Andrea Riseborough, we knew there was something special about her jewelry style. Who was this actress with the white blonde pixie cut that wore these amazing and unique jewels on the red carpet? The actress made her name starring in Madonna’s W.E. as Wallis Simpson and has since gone on to star in such critical darlings as Birdman and Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals. Flash-forward to her stint as  Emma Stone’s costar in Battle of the Sexes where on the red carpet Andrea favored edgy and unexpected jewelry from the likes of Dauphin and Rodarte and mixed them with classical jewels from Neil Lane and Cartier. With awards season starting in 2018, we can’t wait to see what Andrea will serve up on the red carpet.earringsearringsearringsAndrea wearing Dauphin at London premiere of ‘Death of Stalin.’dressAt the ActionAid Fashion Show wearing Dauphin and Noemi Klein jewelry.Andrea at the Hollywood Foreign Press & InStyle celebrating 75th Anniversary of the Golden Globe Awards wearing diamond mesh bracelets.Met Gala 2017 with Tom Ford wearing Cartier.earringsdressAndrea wearing Dauphin to the ‘Battle of the Sexes’ European Premiere.earringsdressAndrea at the BIFA Awards 2017 wearing Neil Lane ruby starburst earrings.dressearrings dressWearing Rodarte ear cuff at the 61st BFI AwardsdressAt the LA premiere of ‘Battle of the Sexes’ wearing Stefere Jewelry.
