Golden Globes Jewelry Looks for Less

In case you missed it the Golden Globes were broadcast tonight.  As predicted, there was plenty of color on the Red Carpet with Julianne Moore in her hot pink Lanvin and Angelina Jolie in a sparkling green Versace Atelier. Many of the stars opted for simple platinum and diamond pieces.  Why platinum? Platinum is naturally white, so it enhances the dazzle of diamonds. Stars like Catherine Zeta Jones, Natalie Portman, Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson and January Jones all lit up the red carpet in dazzling diamonds in platinum settings.

Jennifer Lopez wore platinum and diamond earrings (pictured above.) Her earrings were large clusters from Harry Winston. I love this vintage cluster earring look, and it’s easily replicated with a good pair of CZs in the right settings.   Similar cluster earring styles are available from emitations, Amazon.com and Fantasy Jewelry Box.com.

Pregnant Natalie Portman looked radiant in a strapless Viktor & Rolf gown with a red rose embellishment on the bodice.  Natalie accented her strapless gown with a platinum and diamond collar necklace and diamond stud earrings from Tiffany & Co.  Natalie’s jewelry was on loan from Tiffany’s and is worth thousands.   If you liked her look, check out low-priced costume jeweler Fantasy Jewelry Box.  They have a necklace and earrings very similar to Natalie’s look for under $100.00 US.

 One of my favorite looks of the night was Scarlett Johansson in her romantic Elie Saab’s beaded peachy gown.  Her dress had so much sparkle, she didn’t need a necklace or large earrings. Instead, she accented her look by wearing her hair up and using diamond brooches as hair pins.  This look is easily achieved by buying bridal hair barrettes, or embellished barrettes at discounters like H&M. Embellished barrettes are a cheap and cheerful way to brighten and outfit for $35.00 or less.
