Familiar names once again dominated the red carpet and in fact may have increased its presence. In addition to brands mentioned, there was Fred Leighton, Neil Lane, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier. This may be why red carpet jewels lacked excitement overall, as white diamonds and precious metals dominated the event. A few in the jewelry industry were disappointed as well saying that just about everyone is being paid to wear jewels.

But there were still plenty of highlights. I don’t think Lady Gaga looked better in her Neil Lane jewels. The young Zendaya showed refined international tastes with her choice of Yoko London pearl and diamond earrings matched with a garnet and diamond ring by Parisian high jewelry designer Lydia Courteille.
