When we think of jewelry we immediately think of women. The focus is usually on women and what jewelry did they use to adorn themselves. But, men were equally visible at the Oscars 2010 wearing their jewelry with style and aplomb.

This year, the photographers were out trying to capture the jewelry that the men had worn and also men did their best to set the new jewelry trends in vogue.

The Oscar co-host Alec Baldwin had worn a pair of Cartier stainless steel and red guilloche with a patterning technique cufflinks.

Another person who opted to make a fashion statement with cufflinks was Keanu Reeves. He wore the deep color blue Cartier cufflinks made from white gold, diamonds and sapphires. Steve Carell also chose to wear diamond and platinum cufflinks made by Neil Lane. Another person, who was seen wearing Neil Lane, although not cufflinks but a lapel pin was Chris Noth!

Matt Damon too opted for cufflinks that were made of platinum, diamonds and black enamel and shirt studs to go with it. these were from Fred Leighton.

Tim McGraw wore quite a bit of jewelry. He wore a Cartier Tank Americaine watch, white gold with a diamond bezel and a black alligator strap. You will be quite flabbergasted to hear the cost, it retails at $41,850. McGraw also wore shirt studs and cufflinks fashioned from white gold, diamond and onyx, also by Cartier. Wow! Quite a bit of jewelry for sure!

Men’s jewelry and diamonds from the best of designers sparkled side by side. The handsome men’s club looked all the more dapper and dashing with the right formal wear and jewelry, just the right amount to accentuate it.

They certainly made the red carpet sparkle with the stars!

Roberto Cavalli: The Designer For The Stars!

When you look at it – really look at it, the snakeskin in this particular bracelet is very apparent.  This is a piece of jewelry done up by the Italian born designer Roberto Cavalli.  Roberto Cavalli is actually known for his very high-end designs and his jewelry has been worn by all sorts of different celebrities, including Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez and finally the beautiful Sarah Jessica Parker.

I think that the greatest thing about this particular snake bracelet is actually unique – different and totally fun to wear.  Roberto Cavalli actually incorporates many different intricate details into this particular bracelet and the yellow along with white really makes this design pop out.

For only $425.00, this beautiful bracelet can be yours – however you won’t have much of a bank account right?

Claudia Lobao Designs Crochet Earrings: They Are Sexy!

When I look at jewelry, I want it to tell me a story and to me, that is exactly what Claudia Lobao does with her jewelry pieces.  While she might have started out beading, she has definitely switched up her style and within two years, her pieces were the staple on Desperate Housewives and now – well, now she has been featured in everything from InStyle all the way to Accessories and Star! 

While all of that is fine and good, I am talking about the jewelry here and what we are specifically talking about is her crochet earrings that are featured here on beautiful, musical celebrity Ashanti.  These crochet earrings are something different and unique and that is what makes them so popular!  Every day – women are in the market for one-of-a-kind items and that is what these feel like.

The price tag is about $145.00, but I can definitely assure you that it is very much worth every single penny … seriously!

Pearl Drop Earrings: Beautiful On Anne Hathaway!

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend – that is exactly what we have been told over and over and over again and honestly, I am slowly but surely starting to believe it … slowly.  However, now that I have seen these beautiful pearl, diamonds earrings on Anne Hathaway’s ears, I think that I believe it even more.  Diamonds are a fantastic accessory to anything and Anne just proved that earrings can be beautiful on any ears.

These drop down pearl earrings with diamonds along them are not only some of the fashion-forward looking pieces of jewelry, but they are pieces of jewelry that I instantly and totally fell in love with.  The fact that they are drop down earrings put the icing on the cake for me … add in the chic factor and you got me hooked!

Now, of course – for those of us that can not afford the real thing, there are plenty of ‘fake’ or ‘imitation’ earrings just like this that you can buy – however, the real thing is pretty incredible!

Sex In The City — Jewelry?

When you think about it – finding the ideal bracelet is something that is kind of hard.  I know this from experience because I have been in the market for a bracelet for quite a while now however, when I saw Sex in the City – I fell in love with Carrie’s jewelry! 

All of those beautiful pieces that she wore in the movie truly did wonders for her and this little gem of a bracelet is something that is chic and cool … not to mention fashionable! 

Now, I have never been one of the gold people – actually, I hate yellow gold for the most part, but this thick chain with the three rings of diamonds is something that I fell in love with upon first seeing it!  Now, while you could opt for the real thing … I opted for the fake version of this bracelet and it looks great!

Jessica Simpson: Oh, She Got The Ultimate Gift!

Celebrities are all about the bling and right now – that is exactly what Jessica Simpson is looking for – while she might not have gotten to keep Nick, she definitely did get to get over him via a beautiful, sparkling free diamond ring!  It is very hard to sing the blues after this beautiful ring is placed on your finger by a master jeweler like Pascal Mouawad. 

This jeweler gave Simpson the ring, which is 5 – yes, count them five carats from his Black and White Diamond Collection and if I was Simpson, I would definitely not be giving it up anytime soon!  Pascal is known for his celebrity muses and Simpson seems to be one of them – along with Heidi Klum and Nicole Richie.

If you are looking for some bling though – I think that you should give Pascal Mouawad a jingle and see if you can become his new muse!

Earrings, Earrings, Earrings Everywhere!

When you really think about it – celebrities are truly not all that different than us. They have their moments when they are having a bad hair day, can not pick out what they want to wear but one huge difference is that they can afford things like some beautiful chandelier earrings. Take these three ladies! They not only look absolutely incredible in their chandelier earrings but it is by far the newest trend for the celebrity market it seems like.

Whether the diamonds are iced up the sides or there are pearls everywhere, chandelier earrings are going to be seen more and more on the red carpet it seems like and to me – that is something that I can live with!  I have always been a huge fan of the chandelier earrings trend and now that it is coming back, I couldn’t be happier!

So if you want a way to spice up your own look, chandelier earrings is going to be able to do the trick for you!

Take A Look At Sophie Blake!

Jewelry is something that should be worn and shown off and to be honest, I think that Sophie Blake and all of her collections really knows exactly what she is doing when she is looking for show off one of her pieces.  Not that you really need to worry about seeing them because honestly – I think that Sophie really knows what she is doing in the way of designing jewelry in general that just begs for it to be touched, worn and all around worshipped!

Sophie Blake – you are never going to believe it but she is actually all self-taught and I think there is something special there and definitely unique and different.  When someone is self-taught, there is a respect there that not many people can understand.  As far as her jewelry?  She is very bohemian-chic and I love that!

A lot of her jewelry is influenced by Indo-European, which is pretty freakin’ cool if you ask me!  So check her out!  She is really awesome!
