2012 SAG Awards – Jewelry Forecast
At the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards, dazzling earrings lit up the Red Carpet. And if recent jewelry trends are any indicator, statement earrings will figure just as prominently on the ears of Hollywood leading ladies at this weekend’s 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Here are some luxurious looks from last year’s event that we wouldn’t mind seeing on the SAG Red Carpet again this year. Natalie Portman, left, and January Jones wore colored diamond earrings with grace at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards. The jewelry world is still buzzing about Natalie Portman’s stunning yellow diamond earrings. The drop earrings featured the best of Tiffany design: Magnificently cut fancy yellow pear-shaped diamonds totaling 27 carats, a crystal-clear white diamond at the earring’s base and a graceful platinum setting that magnified the rare color of the yellow diamonds. These $2 million stunners were by the far the most breathtaking jewelry statement at the 2011 SAG Awards. January Jones also chose colored diamonds to complete her look at the 2011 SAG Awards. Her 8 carat black diamond stud earrings from luxury designer Lorraine Schwartz were effortlessly rich. The dramatic pair added the perfect touch of nighttime glamour to January’s black and gold lace Caroline Herrera dress. Amy Adams chose earthy earrings from Kimberly McDonald to accent her white dress at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Our award for the night’s best modern earring look goes to Amy Adams. Her tribal-inspired earrings featured diamonds in a modern, uniquely shaped white gold setting. With an organic aesthetic and luxurious diamond borders, these Kimberly McDonald earrings added sophistication to Amy Adams’ white Hevre Leoux dress. And her ring was just as eclectically chic: With white diamonds encircling a geode, fire opal and baroque pearl, this piece made a glamorous, nature-inspired statement. A stunningly designed pair of earrings can elevate even the most beautiful Red Carpet look. We’re excited to see how Hollywood’s leading ladies accessorize at this weekend’s 2012 SAG Awards. Check back here on Monday for our recap of the night’s most exquisite jewelry. And remember: You don’t need to be at an awards show to make a Red Carpet statement. Diamond & Estate Trust’s premier collection of diamonds , colored diamonds , rubies , sapphires , emeralds, estate jewelry and signature pieces will help you find your inner luxury and sophistication.
