The Statement necklace was out in all its glory at the 28th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, which kicked off Awards season with a live red carpet and presentation after the pre-aired version last year. The Golden Globes traditionally are the first red carpet event of the season but due the controversy over a lack of diversity in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Golden Globes were held as a private event this year.
Those of us who were waiting to see elegant, enticing jewelry were not disappointed as the actresses’ stylists went all out in providing their stars with glamorous pieces. The winner of best jewel in a starring role was hands down the singular sensational statement necklace which conjured up images of Old Hollywood and accessorized everything from tuxedo dressing to pink princess gowns. It was an awards show of dressing up and being out among colleagues and friends. Although the actors supporting each other again was pure joy—there was also a more somber side as recipients prayed for peace for the Ukraine in their speeches.
But back to the thrill of the jewels that graced the necks of style-setting actresses in stunning gowns. Here are our picks for the necklaces that sparkled and shined like halo of light bringing out the natural beauty of the women who wore them and also signaled a return to putting on our finery again.
