New York--The 63rd Emmy Awards on Sunday gave celebrities another occasion to show off their red carpet jewels, and most chose to accessorize with big, drop earrings and large, sometimes colorful cocktail rings.

“Big earrings were the call of the evening,” Michael O’Connor, jewelry style expert and celebrity stylist, says. “Jewelry is becoming larger in proposition, to keep up with ornamentation on gowns, and we saw that at the Emmys.”

Helena Krodel, director of media and special events at the Jewelry Information Center, said the red and black dresses worn on the red carpet gave celebrities solid palettes to work with for their jewelry.

“Tear-drop shaped earrings were big because people tend to wear fabulous, but not over-the-top, dresses to the awards,” she said. “A lot of the jewelry was stand-out.”
