The Best Jewelry at the 2019 BAFTAs

While Cartier reigned supreme at the BAFTAs there was no shortage of talented London based jewelry designers on the red carpet. Thandie Newton and Viola Davis both wore designs from Solange Azagury-Partridge and Fernando Jorge. What we did notice was the abundance of diamond jewelry that sparkled at Britian’s biggest film awards ceremony!

AMY ADAMS: Even though Amy lost out to Rachel in the Best Supporting Actress category she won huge points in the jewelry department from us! We fell in love with her Cartier jewels but were a little distracted by the glitzy embellishment on her Prada dress.

Cate picked up the colorful hues of the oversized jewels and matched them perfectly to her Ritratto amethyst and blue topaz rings from Pomellato.

MELISSA MCCARTHY: All Melissa needed was 18.72 carats of diamonds to add sparkle to her black dress. Kwiat Legacy diamond earrings did just the trick!

GLENN CLOSE: Glenn joins the ranks with Dakota Johnson and Hannah Davis in wearing these 18K white gold, pearl, and diamond Evasions Joailleries earrings by Cartier.

LILY COLLINS: Lily is always a favorite to watch on the red carpet. Elegant diamond Haute Jewelry earrings combined with superb sapphire and diamond cocktail rings from Cartier was all the sparkle Lily needed to win over our heart!

VIOLA DAVIS: Perfection! Need we say more? Love Viola’s diamond Disco earrings from Fernando Jorge.

LUCY BOYNTON: Following in Lily Collins’ footsteps Lucy Boynton chose sapphires to wear to this year’s BAFTAs. Atelier Swarovski by Penelope Cruz created diamond, topaz, and sapphire earrings and rings accented her look.

THANDIE NEWTON: It almost seems like Solange Azagury-Partridge’s geometric Nimrod diamond earrings were made to compliment Thandie’s graphic tulle patterned Valentino gown.

SALMA HAYEK: When your husband owns Gucci who can blame you for showing up in it? As for the Gucci headpiece and iguana style brooch (we’re not really sure what that is) we gotta give Salma kudos for stepping outside the box. Boucheron’s Serpent Boheme earrings in gold and citrine completed her look.

CLAIRE FOY: Simplicity at its best! Claire donned Cartier High Jewelry diamond earrings, an emerald and diamond ring with the brand’s Pluie de Cartier bracelet.

KATE MIDDLETON: The Duchess of Cambridge wore a sublime pair of diamond and South Sea pearl drop earrings that Princess Diana wore when she attended a banquet in South Korea in 1992. Her equally stunning diamond bracelet was a loan from the Queen.

MARY J. BLIGE: Mary rocked a pair of diamond mesh Lorraine Schwartz earrings similar to the ones shown below and mixed them up with David Morris’ white gold and diamond Palm 2 Flower double finger ring which we absolutely adored.

Best Red Carpet Diamond Jewelry of 2018

Whether you love them for their high wattage sparkle or classic elegance, diamond jewelry has always been a red carpet staple. Here are our top picks in no specific order of the best diamond jewelry of 2018.

Beyonce: How could you not forget Beyonce’s custom $4 million Lorraine Schwartz diamond geometric earrings from the Grammy Awards? We wondered why she wore the sunglasses but if you’ve got 70 carats worth of diamonds plus another 35 carats for the center pear-shaped stones, you too would need shades to shield your eyes from all that blinding bling!Beyonce's grammy earringsBeyonce's grammy earrings
