Oscars 2018: The Best Jewelry on the Red Carpet

The 2018 Oscars were much more colorful than the blackout statement at the Golden Globes, except when it came to the jewels. Diamonds and white metals were the overwhelming favorite among the stars. The other major trend on the Oscars red carpet was sparkling drop earrings, particularly pear shaped gems or filigree designs. Necklaces were not as prevalent as in past years but those that did appear were sparkling diamond statements.

Chopard jewels adorned the most stars on the red carpet while De Beers Forevermark and Harry Winston diamonds had the most sparkle. Fred Leighton and Piaget also did well for the night.

For the men, Montblanc and Piaget were the watches of choice and Montblanc ruled when it came to cuff links and tuxedo studs.
