The Refreshing Creativity Of The Jewelry At The 2022 Academy Awards

Lupita Nyong'o wears the De Beers Reflections of Nature ‘Motlatse Marvel’ earrings with fancy deep orange, pink and white diamonds set in 18K white, yellow and rose gold. If you are going to wear diamond earrings—these natural colored styles are the ones to go for.

The stars are out tonight shining brightly as they celebrate the most coveted of all awards shows —with all other awards leading up to this red carpet event. While the 94th Academy Awards was glittering with the diamond statement necklaces or long swingy earrings we have been seeing at the other awards, some refreshing surprises expressed creativity and glamour at the same time.

A favorite was Bulgari brand ambassador Zendaya wearing armfuls of Serpenti bracelets which climbed up both arms.

Rachel Zegler’s gold and diamond Tiffany & Co. choker was a youthful alternative to the bigger diamond and platinum necklaces that many actresses wore.

Caitriona Balfe has looked stunning at all awards shows so far, so why would this be any different. The Van Cleef & Arpel Heritage diamond necklace was a perfect complement to her gown and reflected a feeling of old Hollywood glamour.

Jessica Chastain who received the award for best actress is wearing a perfect balance of Gucci High Jewelry but her ring that is a singular statement on its own is perhaps the most alluring of her jewels.

This Harry Winston Eagle yellow diamond necklace, set in 18K yellow gold and platinum necklace that Nicole Kidman is wearing is a showpiece yet delicate and well suited to Kidman’s frame as is the rest of her jewelry and the Omega watch she is wearing.

I’m not sure about the shorts, messy hair and high heels but the Chanel necklace is on the mark that Kristen Stewart wore. It is a Chanel white gold, diamond, spinel and onyx necklace and is the silhouette to watch for the upcoming spring and summer jewelry season.

Jada Pinkett Smith’s Glen Spiro Earrings are the perfect on-the-ear floral cluster earrings. It’s a season in which she is killing it with her jewels, at earlier awards- the Cartier openwork bib necklace at SAG, to the diamond headpiece at The Critic’s Choice Awards.

Billie Eilish is wearing perhaps the most creative look of the evening. A Fred Leighton 19th-century star tiara reworked into rings worn with other Fred Leighton rings. Here is what Rebecca Selva Chief Creative Director says about working on the look, “A star in her own right, Billie was truly the inspiration for us looking at the stars from the tiara in a different way. In wearing the antique diamond stars in her unique and creative expression as earrings and rings, Ms. Eilish will further imbue them with a fresh spirit of permanence and timelessness."

Dena Giannini, Billie's stylist adds, "Billie’s exquisite diamond star earrings and two rings have come from an amazing transformable late 19th-century tiara that we have given new life to and appreciate in a new light for Billie’s Oscars look, thanks to the amazing willingness of Rebecca and the Fred Leighton team.”
