Well before the highly anticipated win for Best Picture and Leonardo DiCaprio scooped up his first-ever Best Actor award for The Revenant at the 2016 Oscars, a bevy of Hollywood beauties- all donning stunning platinum baubles- illuminated the Red Carpet at the 88th Academy Awards. The jewellery quickly mirrored the star-studded festivities and infamous after parties- exciting, dramatic and frequently over-the-top.
My Oscar for ‘Favourite Jewels of the Night’ goes to Charlize Theron and her head turning show-stopping 48.8 carat Secret Cluster Diamond Necklace, directed by Harry Winston.
Co-Stars complementing the long platinum necklace were the talented cluster earrings (15.49 carats), an industry new comer the cushion-cut diamond ring with microwave’ (8.78 carats), a micropave’ diamond band and the screen siren Queen ring with diamonds (7.44 carats).
The platinum and diamond group value, a bargain at only $ 3.7 million. Thank you Harry! Image by G-etty
