Sparkling Diamonds, Oscar Glam

 

Now the Oscars are a time to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry. But for me it is a time to recognize and admire all the beautiful jewellery on show. At the HK studio we noticed a reoccurring theme of elegant antique bling! Beautiful sparkling diamond earrings teamed with layered bracelets, but with a distinct lack of neck jewellery.

Helen Mirren went against this theme, making an effort to shine with a stunning oval shape diamond necklace, pear shape diamond drop earrings, and a fancy, rose cut diamond cuff. It seemed the antique style was popular with Sarah Jessica Parker opting for a '50s diamond swirl bracelet, rose-cut diamond bracelet, cognac diamond bracelet, and an antique diamond ring.

This opulence reminded me of a lovely loose champagne rose cut round diamond we have newly got in stock. It is a stunning revival of an antique cut shape, just waiting to be used in a commission. We are all very excited to see how it will be incorporated into a beautiful bespoke piece of jewellery. You are always welcome to come along to either of our showrooms to see this stone, along with other gemstones we have for inspiration, or to use in your very own bespoke item.

To get an idea of a rose cut diamond, have a look at this previous commission. In keeping with the historic influence of the stone cut, the band has some traditional hand engraved leaf shapes around it which catch the light and also echo the facets on the rose cut which has a chequer board effect across the top.

Carrying on with the theme of old style glamour seen at the Oscars, I thought I would highlight this stunning, elegant antique style cluster engagement ring. It is currently in our show room in Halls Green, so why not come along to take a closer look. It holds a sumptuous and rich brilliant cut natural cognac 0.35ct diamond. The dark natural colour of the white gold compliments the diamond and creates a vintage look. Sixteen 1mm full brilliant cut H SI quality white diamonds pave set (a Victorian style of setting) around the diamond.

A strapless gown encrusted with jewels and sequins would look perfect topped off with the beautiful ring! Now all I need is an Oscar invite for next year!
