Keeping your eye on the jewelry worn by celebrities gracing the red carpet can be a good way to get a sense of the the current jewelry trends and get a sneak peek at what’s going to be hitting stores in a season or two. As one of the biggest red carpet events, the Oscars, takes over TV screens next month, you may just see what is about to become a popular fashion trend.

Obviously the Oscars is Hollywood’s most prestigious event, but it is also the best event to witness celebrities covered in vintage, contemporary and costume jewelry. From diamonds to platinum, and scads of colorful gemstones, the Oscars invite some bold and glamorous jewelry trends to the red carpet, with designers eager to catch the public eye.

In year’s past, diamonds and platinum have typically ruled the roost at the Oscars. For instance, no one could forget Nicole Kidman’s or Angelina Jolie’s previous diamond ensembles. There have, however, been more recent trends towards colorful jewelry to accent the red carpet ensembles. Jolie, Amy Adams, Heidi Klum and Phoebe Cates have all previously accessorized with colorful, vibrant gemstones on the red carpet.

With the Oscars only days away, everyone will be ready to take note of the jewelry the stars are wearing.
