On the contrary, my dear. We’ve been jetting here, there and everywhere, playing our own little version of “Eye Spy” with celebrities and their jewels. Here’s a taste. (But of course BadGalRiRi makes our list too!)
Actress Angela Sarafyan takes a break from her HBO series Westworld to make an elegant appearance at the premiere of Open Road Films’ ‘The Promise’, wearing understated, yet hauntingly beautiful, Borgioni black diamond stud earrings.
Created by mother-daughter duo Rhonda and Tiffany Bartolacci, Borgioni Private Collection fuses bohemian vintage with medieval rock-n-roll. In fact, the collection is named after and inspired by the family matriarch, Emily Rose Borgioni Bartolacci and was born from the duo’s desire to redesign & wear their family heirlooms. Standout pieces include signature 18k gold handcuffs, bejeweled skulls and diamond spikes.
At the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards, the stars shone bright but the jewels shone brighter. Exhibit A: Carrie Underwood wearing jaw-grazing (and jaw dropping) Harry Kotlar diamond drop earrings, a Hearts on Fire diamond band and Djula diamond rings. Proving once again, everyone loves a little bling sing!
Miss Gwen (Stefani) we don’t know where to look first. Leave it to this songstress and judge on NBC’s ’The Voice’ to boldly adopt the more is more philosophy wearing Doves by Doron Paloma earrings and ring, a Djula ring, Hearts on Fire diamond bracelet, and a Le Vian ring and bracelet. We can hardly catch our breaths…
Spotted on the Daily Front Row’s 3rd Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards was none other than Rebecca Romijn wearing a glam pair of Djula diamond earrings and a traffic-stopping cuff.
Ok. By now you’re thinking ‘tell me more about this Djula, dear’… Well, Djula was created in 1994 by Alexandre Corrot. Initially inspired by the early 20th century, with heavy influences from the “Roaring Twenties” and Art Deco period, Alexandre is reinventing fashion jewelry with bold introductions of black gold, geometric patterns, lace and delicately intricate details.
While leaving ‘The View’ in New York City, Salma Hayek gave us the kind of view we at JFW simply adore. That would be a view of this exquisite Maxior smokey quartz ring, of course.
And finally, @badgalriri (Rihanna for the three of you still not on Instagram) makes our list. Mixed in with all of that wonderful Comme de Garcons, the singer wore Le Vian ruby and diamond rings, as well as a DVANI ruby with diamond ring to the Costume Institute Gala at the Met.
Among the oldest jewelers in the world, Le Vian’s designs are regarded as works of art. Artisans craft rare natural fancy color diamonds including Pink Orchid Diamonds™, Sunny Yellow Diamonds™, Blackberry Diamonds™, Vanilla Diamonds™ and Chocolate Diamonds® into innovative designs, combining the colors of gems and flavors of gold.
