The Modern Jeweler - All Jewelry Information For The Modern Era!

Los Angeles–From black-and-white diamond combination to snake designs to turquoise, there seemed to be no parameters for the jewelry-wearing starlets who made the red-carpet rounds at the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.

The SAG Awards, which took place Saturday, and were broadcast live from the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center, were the second key award event of the season, following fast on the heels of the Golden Globe awards. In both cases, jewelry designers and stylists took full advantage of the moment to put jewelry on the red carpet.

Kate Hudson was one of the night’s biggest style standouts in a white Emilio Pucci gown that plunged low in the back to reveal a long diamond sautoir necklace, just one piece in what was reportedly $1.75 million worth of Cartier diamond jewelry she donned for the bash. The Nine star also wore Cartier Paris’ vintage briolette and baguette diamond drop earrings, plus a 15.65-carat emerald cut diamond ring and a diamond cocktail ring set in white gold.

Another actress that outdid herself with diamonds was Christina Hendricks, of Mad Men, who, like several other actresses, opted for the understated elegance of rose-cut diamonds. She accented a red off-the-shoulder dress with gold pendant earrings and a diamond ring, both from Irit Designs.

Overall, most stars skipped necklaces to focus on high-impact earrings, bracelets and rings, often in combinations of two or three.

Jane Krakowski of 30 Rock fame wore Martin Katz’s kite-shaped platinum earrings with black and white diamonds, and platinum bracelets with black diamonds, 29 carats total weight.

Also making several appearances were snake-motif jewels. Sheri Shepherd wore a “Diamond Magic Snake” bracelet and “Diamond and Black Diamond Magic Snake Ring” by Staurino as well as a “Diamond Cluster” ring by Favero, while Carey Mulligan took the serpentine style into vintage territory, donning Fred Leighton’s 19th century “Diamond Snake Earrings. ”

A significant number of actresses also went for colored stones, most notably Tina Fey, who won a SAG award for her role in 30 Rock. Fey helped debut Neil Lane’s new “Renaissance Collection,” choosing to set off a vivid purple satin Ferragamo sheath with a statement-making pair of earrings that mixed moonstone, brown diamonds, yellow diamonds and colorless diamonds, all set in handmade platinum. She also wore three stacked diamond and platinum line bracelets from Neil Lane.

Also in Neil Lane was Toni Colette, who wore a full-length gown with gold-sequined bodice and a number of pieces featuring turquoise, including bangles made of turquoise, platinum, gold and diamonds; long drop earrings featuring gold, diamond and turquoise; and a diamond and turquoise cocktail ring set in platinum.

Also going the vivid color route was True Blood actress Mariana Klaveno, who wore Zorab’s “Atelier de Creation” pearl drop earrings with orange tourmalines and a Carrera y Carrera flower ring.

Mad Men actress Elisabeth Moss was one of a number of actresses who colored diamonds. She chose Le Vian chocolate diamond earrings and Le Vian chocolate diamond bracelets.
