Colored gems, diamonds own SAG red carpet

Celebrity jewels shone brightly again for the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, held Jan. 29 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Drop and chandelier earrings were again a popular choice for actresses on the red carpet, a trend that celebrity stylist and jewelry expert Michael O’Connor said will grow increasingly colorful this year.

“Jewelry will be bigger in proportion, with large gemstones in a rainbow of color, whether that’s the dramatic drop of a colorful chandelier earring, a bold mix of multi-jeweled cuffs or a gemstone statement necklace,” O’Connor said.

In addition to colored gems, diamonds made their appearance at the awards show in geometric and organically shaped rings and simple, yet elegant, earrings.
