Classic diamonds and precious jewels placed in stunning platinum settings once again ruled on the red carpet, as seen on Oscar winners, nominees and other Hollywood stars present. The jewelry fashion this year was punctuated with color, but the white natural color of platinum was ever present.
While the Academy Awards may seem all about taking home a gold statue, the red carpet is where clothes and jewelry fashion take center stage. From Halle Berry's platinum and ten carat diamond drop earrings, to Sandra Bullock's platinum and diamond bangles by Harry Winston and Amy Adams' platinum watch bracelet, the awards ceremony was certainly not short on elegant accessories.
A glowing Natalie Portman (one of the esteemed Oscar winners from last night) sported her captivating platinum and diamond Tiffany ring.
