Oscar Jewelry Watching

In the jewelry world (is there any other universe better then that?) this Sunday is our Super Bowl, the 85th Annual Academy Awards.  If jewelry is your language then you must join us in our twitterverse conversation as we drool over all the goodies that will be walking the red carpet.  Follow #oscarjewelry

And head over to E!Online and cast your vote for the "Best Jewelry Ever" on the red carpet.  Of course we have no doubt that it was Angelina Jolie at the 81st Annual Academy Awards in Lorraine Schartz Emerald earrings. 

Remember to make jewelry an everyday essential!

Beyonce in Lorraine Schwartz at 2013 Inauguration

The "President and First Lady of Hip Hop" looked fabulous at today's Inauguration.  J cleans up nicely and of course we couldn't help but notice the amazing Lorraine Schwartz emeralds that Bey was dripping in as she sang the National Anthem.  She did America proud :)

Golden Globe Jewelry Buzz

Fashion folks eagerly anticipate the Fashion Week season, I eagerly anticipate award season.  Just to see how the fashionably famous are dressing their fingers, wrists and necks.  Over the last couple of years we've seen some great jewelry hits and some bare bling misses.  Last nights Golden Globes had some hits but I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed that all those plunging necklines were so bare.

Taylor Swift in Lorraine Schwartz ~ She looked amazingly sophisticated in this plum Donna Karen.

Salma Hayek in Martin Katz ~ I loved how she made it pop with these beautiful paraiba tourmaline cacochon earrings. *

 Adel in Cartier earrings ~ She is one of my favorites, just so classy in a long black number with just a flawless face.

Debra Messing in Samira 13 earrings and bangles and Amrapali bangle ~ She's another one that always ends up on my favorites list.  She's never afraid to "bling it on". *

Sally Field in Martin Katz - While watching last night live, she was the first necklace that I spotted.  A very classic look, she was dripping in Martin Katz from head to toe. *

Jessica Alba in Harry Winston ~ Wowza wowza!  This was the talk of the #globejewelry twitter feed last night.  She did not disappoint with this $5.8 million Mrs. Winston neck bauble.

Enjoy and remember to make jewelry an everyday essential!

Oscar Bling

wwSo I missed the Oscars this year....but for good reason, I was celebrating my last moments in South Africa.  What a wonderfully amazing trip but that's for another post :)  I have managed to catch up (better late then never) on all the hits and misses and of course what I really care about, the jewels that walked the red carpet.  Some of my favorites of course were......

The glowing Natalie Portman in Tiffany jewelry.  Gwyneth Paltrow added some color to her metallic Calvin Klein with earrings, ring and broach from Louis Vuitton.  And the lovely Reese Witherspoon adorned diamonds and emeralds by the legendary Neil Lane.

Emeralds played their own award winner appearances on this years Oscar red carpet.  Amy Adams (although not my favorite dressed on the carpet) glittered in a Cartier diamond and emerald lariat necklace, bracelet and diamond earrings worth more then $1 million.  I was so happy to see Celine Dion in a breathtaking Bulgari diamond and emerald necklace (just YUMMY). 

And I think that the newly defined Jennifer Hudson and the always HAUTE Halle Berry just sizzled on the red carpet.  They are my definite picks for BEST DRESSED!

 How better then to make a statement with Neil Lane and this beautiful white and yellow diamond ring.    And her QC Best Dressed counterpart double cuffed it with diamond bracelets and ring from none other then Neil Lane also.

And best dressed couple goes to Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves, who accented a classic black dress with Lorraine Schwartz pearl earrings.

I would love to hear your favorite red carpet "bejeweled winners" were.

Emmy 2010 Bold and Bright Standouts

This years Prime time Emmys aired last Sunday and I had a front row seat in my living room!  Like some of the more recent award shows only a few pieces really stood out to me.  Bright colored gems made a sea of black and navy dresses pop on the red carpet.

Love this picture (still in that honeymoon stage) Eva Longoria Parker graced the red carpet in these amazing red chandelier earrings.

Trying to multi-task (in true mommy style) while I was watching the Emmys I missed Heidi Klum on the red carpet but read everyone twitting about her black micro mini number so of course I had to pull her up online and all I have to say is "Go head momma" (from one mom to another).  She really can do no wrong in my eyes and I love how she rocked that dress with an AMAZING Lorraine Schwartz necklace.

Another top jewelry pick of the evening was Julia Louise-Dreyfuss' beautiful jade green and diamond earring and matching bracelet set.  This big bold color gave me a reason to ignore her "sleepy" black number.

Kim Kardashian rocked this white Grecian dress with a "TO DIE FOR" white and yellow diamond, platinum cuff bracelet by none other then Lorraine Schwartz.

I would love to hear who your Emmy jewel favorites were.
