Some people watch the Oscars to see who wins each catagory. Some people watch to see what everyone is wearing. A lot of the people I know watch the Oscars to see the JEWELRY!

In case you don’t already know, most of the jewelry worn on the red carpet is borrowed. Big name jewelers lend big ticket items to the stars for the same reason big name designers give away clothes, to get their name out there. I think it’s an awesome way to get publicity and I hope I’m in a position someday to have someone famous wear one of my pieces!

All in all though, it seemed like people were disappointed in the jewels represented. There was almost no color and even the diamonds were understated. By far though, the trends are still clear. Bracelets and earrings–big earrings.

Here are a few designs I’ve done for some bracelets with matching earrings and ring (I had to do rings because they are MY favorite accessory.)

This wide bangle would be great in gold or silver. The rendering is with several different colored stones but you could choose any stones.

This link bracelet with matching earrings and ring would also be great in either gold or silver. This render is with diamonds but you could use color if you wanted!

This bracelet is rendered in white gold and rose gold but you could use any combination of metals and you could use silver for part or all of the pieces to lower the price.
