Most Memorable Jewels at Cannes 2012

The red carpet of French Rivera is renowned to bring the world class glamour and glitter. This year like past 64 years the Annual International Film Festival at Cannes showed some of the dynamic and exuberant jewels which have the power and luster to take away the hearts in a glimpse.

With Chopard as a sponsor and De Grisogono, a Swiss luxury jewelry house making the Elizabeth Taylor worthy jewels available for the celebrities to flaunt, Cannes is again a heaven for jewelry lovers to admire the spectacular and extravagant necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets and a lot more.

From simple to heavily intricate jaw-dropping designs studded with all the precious gems and diamonds in vivid hues, jewelry at Cannes was beyond remarks.

Each of these illuminated styles is a symbol of refined craftsmanship and seventh sky vision.

Heidi Klum, Irina Shayk, Jane Fonda, Naomi Watts, Nicole Kidman, Fan Bing Bing, Berenice Bejo, Hofit Golan etc. are some of the most talked celebs at the 65^th Cannes gala.

Russian model Irina Shayk was a picture of pose at Cannes. The Swimsuit Illustrated beauty had shown some exquisite and eccentric jewels which were mesmerizing and heart capturing. Her De Grisogono accessorizes were just awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping.

Her molten red gown was certainly very sensual but it were the pink gold ‘ANELLI’ earrings studded with 1128 white diamonds and the broad pink gold flower motif bracelet set with 2 brilliant diamonds of 2.60 carats accentuated with 2663 white diamonds that added the extra glamour to the looks.

At another event at Cannes she presented a lovely duo of emeralds and diamonds. Her long dangling earrings were embellished with 200 white diamonds, 60 briolette diamonds and 198 yellow diamonds and her 45 carats yellow diamond ring was studded in a 407 emeralds encrusted gold band. So in all it was a $6 million affair from De Grisogono.

She is 74 and she is stunning! I know it’s a rare combination but Jane Fonda is the live example of it. One of her glittery and glamorous Cannes’ looks was in magnetic ruby color. With a floor sweeping figure hugging gown she clad for Cannes, the 60 carats rubellite and white and black diamond drop earrings and a 50 carats pear rubellite tourmaline diamond and ruby encrusted ring were the craziest and dazzling combination.

And I can’t miss to mention the gorgeous Hofit Golan. This Israeli model-T.V reporter-businesswoman has set the red carpet on fire with her all smiling fresh looks. Her De Gisogono jewels especially the broad butterfly cuff encrusted with emeralds, diamonds and amethysts were the stars of glory at Cannes.

Another Russian model Natasha Poly spotted in the hues of spring – velvety emerald gown with emerald and diamond briolette cut drop earring.

The Annual International Film Festival at Cannes has ended till next spring but the memories and the jewels it had left are worth remembering for many years.

Sapphire jewelry to match your mood

No, this isn’t crazy. You can actually have your jewelry speak your mind. Check out how my jewelry expresses my moods.

When I am cheerful I prefer dangling earrings in dark blue sapphire with diamond accents or white sapphires. The pretty earrings brighten up my fac

e and bring more radiance to my smile. I wear light makeup to let the earrings be the focus.


For a sophisticated look I prefer sapphires and white diamonds. I think nothing matches luxury better. Days when I feel like not dressing up at all sapphire studs do justice to my subtly elegant look.

So don’t just wear jewelry to match your dress, try and match your jewelry to your mood also. You’ll see the magic it does to your overall look.
