INSPIRATIONS

Statement Necklaces, Colored Gemstone Earrings and Hair Jewels at the 89th Academy Awards February 27, 2017CELEBRITY STYLE, INSPIRATIONSOff

Three trends took home the award for Best Jewelry at the 89^th Academy Awards. It comes as no surprise that necklaces, from chokers to collars to bibs, made the biggest statement of the evening. They began to make a comeback during last year’s Oscars and have been upstaging other jewelry categories at all of the major and minor red carpet awards since. Earrings continue to shine around the faces of our favorite style-setting actresses in a variety of looks. And, although ear climbers continue to steal some of the spotlight, pendant and swingy earrings with colored gems proved to be some of the prettiest looks and those that are sure to inspired jewelry designers in the months to come. The reigning look of the red carpet also took shape in new versions of tiaras, diadems and hair jewels.

Here are our picks for the best Oscar 2017 jewelry within these trends:

Chokers, collars and bib styles were Neck In Neck for the most popular looks to walk down the red carpet..
Dakota Johnson glowed in a Gucci gown and diamond necklace from the Cartier Paris archive collection, circa 1958.

Jessica Biel shimmered in two tone metal in the “Whispers of the Rain Forest” diamond, platinum and 18k gold necklace from the 2017 Blue Book Collection.

Karlie Kloss contemporized an Belle-Époque inspired choker in 18K white gold set with 38 carats of diamonds by Nirav Modi when she wore it with a white ultra-modern Stella McCartney gown

Actress Taraji P. Henson wore knock out bib style necklace also by Nirav Modi and added a pop of color with an emerald and diamond ring.

Alicia Vikander once again lent an air of charming femininity to her Bulgari Official diamond necklace.

Queen For A Day is how the actresses must have felt who wore modern day tiaras, antique diamond headbands and floral hair jewels.

Ruth Negga appeared on the red carpet in her own version of red-a ruby tiara and earrings from Gemfields x Irene Neuwirth. It was a defining moment in Oscar jewelry. We also loved her ACLU blue ribbon pinned to her Valentino dress.

Salma Hayek looked radiant in a silver topped gold Fred Leighton French diamond laurel leaf headband, circa 1880.

Sofia Carson’s floral hair jewel set off her Monique Lhuillier gown and offered a pretty youthful appeal to her sleek bun..

Color Me Beautiful was the theme of the some of the best earrings of the evening.

Nicole Kidman, who was as always stunning from head to toe. Her spinel and diamond platinum Harry Winston earrings perfectly set off her Armani Prive gown.

Chrissy Teigen, who turned on the bling in swingy Lorraine Schwartz colored diamond earrings, which complemented her Zuhair Murad Couture gown.

The turquoise and pearl Neil Lane chandeliers on Darby Stanchfield popped beautifully against her white Georges Chakra Couture gown.

Although these were the major trends, at bejeweledmag.com, we love a magical surprise and these jewels by one of the most prolific designers of the 20^th century deserve a special mention. We were awed by Scarlett Johansson’s arrival in Fred Leighton’s Belperron platinum and diamond Art Deco earrings, ring and mid-century three-row bracelets on each wrist.

We hope you enjoyed all of our pre-Oscar coverage last week and that be inspired by some of the jewels we have shown from the 89^th Academy Awards.
