Celebrity Jewelry Gawk™ – Winter sparkle
Although the colder months at the end of the year usually lend themselves to darker clothing and accessories, celebrities have been keeping fall looking bright and sparkly, especially on the red carpet (which is, quite enviously, usually rolled out in a warmer climate).
Semi-precious gemstones set in precious metals have been a popular combination, especially with vivid, opaque gems like chrysoprase, moonstone and turquoise. Circular and geometric-shaped jewelry is also prevalent, especially in earrings and rings.
