It was their time to shine, after a year and a half of virtual seclusion due to the pandemic. Nominees and presenters returned to full red-carpet glamour at the 73rd Emmy Awards by showcasing an array of spectacular platinum jewellery designs. Platinum (the naturally white setting that truly enhances the brilliance of diamonds and coloured gemstones), perfectly complemented the colourful couture gowns, trendy hairstyles and on-point makeup.

Noticeable platinum jewellery trends included drop earrings – as seen on Kaley Cuoco and Olivia Colman, and statement diamond necklaces as worn by Anya Taylor-Joy and Cynthia Erivo.

Platinum is the metal of choice for most red-carpet events around the world. The who’s who of the fashion and glamour world love to style their ensembles with this naturally white, precious metal from Elizabeth Taylor to Lady Gaga – they have all dressed in platinum for the red carpet.

Platinum Guild International is pleased to share that leading red-carpet jewellery brands such as Tiffany & Co., De Beers Jewellers, Roberto Coin, Fred Leighton, Kwiat, and Jacob & Co. chose to style A-list celebrities in naturally white platinum
