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

Best Jewels at 2018 Cannes amfAR Gala

A bevy of models with a sprinkling of actresses attended last Thursday’s (May 17) amfAR Gala.

NICOLE SCHERZINGER: Another bold de Grisogono jewelry red carpet look from Nicole. This time the singer and host wore bold rubies around her neck- all 247-carats of them. The striking  raspberry red wave necklace framed her face beautifully and matched her bold diamond cocktail ring on her finger.

Although the Row dress she wore looks better from the back, we’re wondering if it had the same dramatic effect that Alessandra’s did? Thoughts?
