It has been four years since I have written a post on jewelry at the Oscars. So here we go with a review of Jewelry Styles on the Red Carpet – Oscars 2018.
Security must have been high with millions of dollars worth of jewelry being worn. Allison Janney’s diamond choker, bracelet and solitaire round earrings were worth $4 million.
I like to watch the beauties of the red carpet to see the jewelry styles, we can learn a lot about style. Not many of us will afford the precious metals and stones that they wore but we can always find a look-alike for a few dollars.
For $15.00 I would be happy to wear this in place of Gal Gadot’s (Wonder Woman) necklace with over 1000 diamonds.

This is a survey of 30 of the high profile attendees reviewing earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.

Earrings
Earrings – I did not see any celebrities without earrings. Of those surveyed six wore stud earrings albeit diamonds. Four earrings had a short drop, two, were ear cuffs. Only one wore large hoop earrings, some years ago hoop earrings were much more popular. The remainder of the earrings were longer drops, some making quite a statement.
I have a little phobia about seeing the pierce hole in the earlobe (sorry, I don’t know why it bothers me.) I am happy to report that all of the pierced holes on the red carpet were covered with diamonds. At 80 years old, Jane Fonda looked absolutely awesome. A short drop earring from a stud covering the piercing was her only jewelry. The piercing can permanently stretch when middle-aged and older women wear very heavy earrings.
Bracelets
Bracelets were quite popular with about half of the celebrities wearing them. Although expensive, most were quite modest statements.
Necklaces
Necklaces – around 50% wore necklaces. Some chokers, some longer, Gal Gadot who plays Wonder Woman wore a necklace with over 1000 diamonds.
Singer, Andra Day wearing jewelry worth over 5 million dollars topped the jewelry stakes. This included necklace – a chocker with a longer string of diamonds, short drop earrings, and several rings. I am sure she needed a security escort to visit the bathroom.
Helen Mirren, always fun and elegant sipped tequila from a shot glass as she walked the red carpet. Her sapphire and diamond necklace and earrings worth $3.8 million.
I will settle for this lovely set $15.00 
We won’t leave the men out who all looked so handsome in their fine suits, Sam Rockwell whose Oscar was for the best supporting actor – wore gold cufflinks valued at $5,500.
With all of this beauty and glam on the red carpet, it is interesting that the UK Telegraph wrote an article stating
“Why the over 50s were the real beauty stars of the Oscars 2018”
Very encouraging for all of us who are over fifty 🙂
We don’t need diamonds to make us sparkle when we are generous with our SMILE.

I do like to see what jewelry is being worn at the Oscars. I love it when they tell us the designer and the price tag. Most of the time it is pretty gawdy and nothing I would wear but still fun to look at.
Thanks so much for visiting and commenting Victoria. I don’t wear much jewelry myself, but I love to see it on others. I did not think that too much of the jewelry was over the top, except for the price tag, Like you say it is fun to look.

I think the over 50 movie stars epitomize the glamour and elegance of the Oscars. They’ve done it all before so they’re not over excited, or showing too much skin, or trying to prove a point. They carry themselves beautifully and the jewelry they all get to wear is so dazzling. When you read that Helen Mirren was wearing $3.8 million worth of jewelry it just blows your mind! Thanks for linking up with us at #MLSTL and I’ve shared this on my SM xx
Thanks, Leanne for your helpful comments. I think it was great that the over 50’s got a special mention as the real beauties.

Thanks for visiting and commenting, Mainy. I never dress up that much or wear much jewelry but I love to see it on other people.

I can not even imagine wearing jewelry that cost that much. I can’t even keep a pair of sunglasses through an entire summer season without sitting on them or losing them. I just can’t be trusted with nice things!
I agree, I could never wear jewelry that was costly, I would never relax. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

I love to see the over 50 women shine! I don’t wear a lot of jewelry, but I do like it on other people. I can’t imagine being comfortable in millions of dollars worth of jewelry. I guess I would rather have the imitations and not have to worry about it!
I am the same Michele, I love jewelry but I don’t wear much at all. It was good to see how great the over 50’s looked.

I have a friend who would love that sapphire set – and I could actually afford to give it to her at $15!
LOL Not sure if you are serious Roseann. If you are here is a 25% off coupon 000122. The stone is a pale green, just click on the photo to go to the store. Either way, thanks for commenting 🙂

Hi Kathleen, I can’t imagine wearing jewellery with the price tag that the celebrities do. Especially as most of them are lent the pieces to wear. Imagine if they lost them? Love the title of the UK Telegraph piece which is so true. Thank you for writing such an informative post on the Oscars jewellery as I know many of us are dazzled by the pieces. Great to have you link up at #overthemoon and your post will be one of my features for the week.
Kathleen, I’m with you…be just as pretty with $15 around your neck, rather than with $3 billion hanging around it. And with all that money spent on jewelry adornments, it’s a shame that I didn’t even notice them. But I enjoyed your post!
Oscars get the whole attention. Every year I check the information about outfits and jewelry. This post is so deep and exact to what I was looking for.
That’s Great , When i am searching on Google about jewelry then i am reached on your site. I like your jewel and your article is to much good thanks for share such kind of nice information with us. I would like to share this.
Hi nice Blog, I have an obsession with Hip hop Jewelry. The Most I love are Hip Hop Diamond Watches
I LOVE this! I always wear different sizes of earrings. My one ear is covered in piercing so sometimes I like to switch it up by putting in hoops or across
