Angelina Setting The Trend For Costume Jewellery

Published on 03/09/09

Thinking new jewellery? Look out for bright colors, big, bold, eye catching, along with geometric shapes. This year's Academy Awards was a great indicator for the latest jewellery trends. As usual, Angelina Jolie was ahead of the fashion pack with her eye catching over sized emerald jewels. In fact, Angelina's green gems covered several criteria for newest jewellery.

One of the biggest trends we see in jewellery fashion this year is colorful stones. Another feature that is now visible big pieces and geometric shapes. Angelina's drop emerald earrings came in at an impressive 115 carats and were so large, they almost resembled something out of one of her daughter's dress ups box. Angelina wore the matching 65 carat emerald ring as the perfect accessory. The emerald jewelry highlighted her simple and elegant black strapless gown to perfection. A splash of gorgeous color in just the right amount.

Another great example of colorful gemstone jewellery was the bib necklace that Amy Adams wore. This amazing piece of Fred Leighton jewellery contained diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds weighing in at a very impressive 630 carats. Amy selected a red frock to highlight her neck candy. (This was the same necklace that was featured in InStyle magazine in November 2008, with Beyonce modelling the stunner on that occasion.)
