Best Jewels at the 2018 NAACP Image Awards

We’re counting down all the glittery, shiny and fabulous jewels that were spotted at the 2018 NAACP Awards last night.

ANDRA DAY: The singer who preformed at the awards show stopped us in our tracks with her red carpet look. Her hairstylist hand stoned the hair clips with Swarovski crystals the night before. Her jewels were her stylist Wouri Vice’s own personal mix. We always look forward to seeing her ring game on the red carpet. She did not disappoint!Andra DayAndra DayAndra DayAndra DayAndra DayLETOYA LUCKETT: The former Destiny’s Child member wore eye catching turquoise and diamond jewels from Jared Lehr jewelry.

BEST OF: Top jewelry at the 2017 Met Gala

Recently I collaborated with GemGossip.com: “Top Ten Best Jewelry Looks of the 2017 Met Gala”. It’s been reposted here by permission.

This year’s theme for the evening’s Met Gala was “The Art of the In-Between”. The exhibit offers a retrospective of designer Rei Kawakubo of the famed design house Comme des Garçons. Stars and socialites embraced the juxtaposition of redefining the traditional placement of jewelry by wearing key pieces around the ear, in the hair and in some cases even backwards. The red carpet dazzled with both futuristic, avant-garde statement pieces and traditional vintage diamonds from iconic jewelers.

Below is a selection of the most striking examples we found to be featured on the red carpet. We are counting down our top ten looks, including the above look worn by Chinese fashion model Liu Wen.
