This spring bridal magazines are raving about our emerald-cut diamond engagement rings and we’re feeling grateful!

Our emerald-cut engagement ring is prominently featured in the May issue of Bridal Guide magazine along with super brands like Tiffany & Co and A. Jaffe.

After the surprise announcement of Angelina Jolie’s engagement to Brad Pitt, Brides featured another Yael emerald-cut diamond engagement ring in its story “Angelina Jolie’s Engagement Ring: Get the Look”

Actress Kerry Washington wore Yael jewelry to the 2012 Black Women in Hollywood luncheon hosted by Essence Magazine!

“Scandal” actress Kerry Washington and Essence’s march cover girl wore a white structured peplum skirt suit by Cushnie et Ochs. She added color with crimson Brian Atwood pumps, Kate Spade’s whimsical “Magazine” clutch and a fire opal ring by Yael.

And here’s a close-up of Yael 3.19ct diamond stud earrings that sparkled so beautifully on Kerry:

We could not tear our eyes away from the 84^th Annual Academy Awards Sunday night. With The Artist taking home the award for best picture, the glamour and style of old Hollywood was in the air. Big cuffs, elegant necklaces, bold colors and flowing feminine gowns were trending on the red carpet and we hope this high glamour trend lasts a long time.

Sparkling Cuffs

Continuing the trend from the Golden Globes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Penelope Ann Miller and Viola Davis all chose to accessorize their dresses with thick, glittering cuffs that had our jaws on the floor. This is a great alternative to stacking bracelets that puts a burst of sparkle and completes a true Oscar look. Some of our diamond cuffs and bracelets have been getting customers’ attention too.

Princess Necklace

Necklaces saw a come back on the red carpet after being completely absent for several years. And we’re glad to see them back! Diamond, princess length necklaces go nicely with strapless gowns. Ranging from Stephanie Sherk’s opulent piece to Cameron Diaz’s more conservative choice, we thought these necklaces were fabulous and just the right piece to complement their dresses. Check out our dazzling necklaces!

Wonderland of White

We think Milla Jovovich deserves an award for her snowy Elie Saab Couture gown. Rooney Mara has become a fashion trendsetter and she continues to wow in her Givenchy Couture ensemble. Best Supporting Actress Octavia Spencer is a vision in white in her Tadashi Shoji dress. Here are some of our white diamond earrings.

Bold Colors

Taking fashion to a brighter level Michelle Williams is absolutely lovely in her coral Louis Vuitton dress. Missi Pyle’s Valentina Delfino gown pops on the red carpet and her brooch is a burst of glitter in just the right spot. Emma Stone rocks her red Giambattista Valli Couture dress. Take a look at the bold pieces from our Lyra collection.

Flowing and Feminine

These talented beauties flow with grace and elegance in muted pastels. Maria Menounos’ green Maria Lucia Hoha gown is flattering and effortless. Stylish star Sarah Hyland makes this mauve Alberta Feretti dress look romantic and youthful. Penelope Cruz’s Giorgio Armani ensemble is soft and beautiful with her delicate jewelry fit for a princess. Here are some blushing earrings from our Aurora collection.

Brides magazine featured our radiant-cut engagement ring in the story Drew Barrymore’s Engagement Ring: Get the Look! While the actresses’ engagement ring was made by Graff Diamonds, our option sparkles just as bright :)

The 69th Golden Globes’ red carpet attire had our jaws on the floor with all the gorgeous dresses and jewelry adorned on all our favorite celebs.  With George Clooney and Meryl Streep scoring Best Actor and Actress in a Drama, not to mention all of our gaga-ing all over everyone’s outfits, our Sunday evening entertainment couldn’t have been better. 

Our favorite jewelry trends

No one could deny that there wasn’t a pattern with the jewelry scene this year. Here are our favorite trends for the sparkles. 

The Emerald Jewelry

Green earrings were definitely a hit this year! Julianna Margulies wore gorgeous jade earrings by Lorraine Schwartz. Julianne Moore punctuated her black dress with bright Fred Leighton emeralds. Emily Deschanel complimented her blue sapphire dress with these brilliant shade of green earrings. Debrah Messing’s purple and emerald earrings brought a major punch of color to her outfit.

Interestingly, Angelina Jolie who started the bold green earring trend two years ago, opted for diamond studs instead. Check out our green earrings.

The Chandelier Earrings

Kate Beckinsale’s Lorraine Schwartz oversized chandelier earrings brought major sparkle to the red carpet. Selma Hayek never disappoints with her radiant vintage gold earrings. Jessica Alba’s set of gorgeous diamond drop earrings graciously complimented her lavender dress. Check out our diamond earrings.
