Top jewellery moments included dramatic necklaces and men’s brooches
The glamour of Hollywood soared to new heights as movie stars wore exquisite jewellery designs set in platinum to the 96th Academy Awards. From drop earrings to line bracelets and colorful rings, platinum was the metal of choice for celebrities as they celebrated their achievements at the world’s most famous awards show.
The most prominent platinum jewellery trends at the Academy Awards tonight were dramatic necklaces as seen on Anya Taylor-Joy, Emily Blunt and Gabrielle Union, and brooches worn by men including John Krasinski, Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown.
These platinum moments on the red carpet not only highlight platinum’s unmatched beauty but also its ability to secure and enhance the brilliance of gemstones, making it the quintessential choice for red carpet elegance. Platinum’s presence at the Oscars reaffirms its status as a cornerstone of high jewelry design and craftsmanship.
