The jewelry of the red carpet. Part II.
In case you wish to read the first part of our story – it is here.
Ann Hathaway, wearing an amazing pearl-coloured dress, preferred quite unshowy jewelry – a simple bracelet and a couple of diamond rings. Anyway, the main attraction of her dress was an elegant brooch, that had the form of a lock and was attached to the back of the dress, as if locking it. The actress did not tell the reporters, whether the dress was a part of the dress or was added afterwards. In any case, the idea seems to be quite poignant.
Traditionally the most popular jewelry brand among the Oscar nominates is Chopard. This year was not an exception, and the creations of this company decorated many of the actresses, including Penelope Cruise and Kate Winslet. Penelope Cruise, wearing a vintage white dress, had chosen an ornamental diamond bracelet (something of this kind was decorating the wrists of Jessica Bill). A classical diamond bracelet and a pair of earrings were also the choice of Kate Winslet.
Some men also could not dispense without jewelry. For example, Mickey Rourke had a pendant with the picture of his favourite dog on. Despite its symbolic meaning, the amulet did not help Mickey to win the Oscar award. Speaking about Beyonce, she was one of several celebrities, that simply lacked jewelry during this ceremony. Having worn two yellow-diamond rings by Lorraine Schwartz, Beyonce decided to economize on the necklace and earrings – though to our taste these items would have make the outlook of the star more apt to the ceremony.
The jewelry of the red carpet. Part I
Oscar Award ceremony is an event, that features not only the most luxurious dresses, but also the most beautiful, striking and expensive jewelry. The jewelry items, that are warn by the celebrities to the “Oscar†award ceremony, are called Hollywood fantasy. Average viewers that watch the ceremony in front of their TV-screens, would never afford jewelry like that, but the view of the sparkling gems is a real esthetic delight for all of us. Let us see now, which jewelry items were chosen for the Oscar-2009 ceremony.
One of the most beautiful creations decorated the neck of Amy Adams, the Oscar-nominated actress. A massive necklace by Fred Leighton, that resembled a precious item from the luxurious palace of a Persian sheikh, contrasted beautifully with the red dress of the actress. The set, chosen by Angelina Jolie also attracted the viewers by its size and colour. The star preferred big earrings and a ring made up of clear emeralds. It seemed, as if the actress had borrowed the items from a museum - the gems were so big, that it was hardly possible to believe, they were natural.
One of the most “decorated†actresses of the ceremony appeared to be the German star Heidi Klum. The ears of the celebrity were decorated with huge long earrings, that hanged down to her neck. The earrings had a form of a flower bouquet and were made from white gold, corals and diamonds, but this was not the most expensive part of Klum’s attain. If it was possible to sell one of the star’s wrists, it would have cost millions of dollars – due to four massive bracelets, covered with diamonds and corals, to pass the earrings. The fingers of the actress were decorated with two huge rings.
Dark Mysteries of Black Pearls
The pearls of black oysters “pinctada margaritifera” are also called the pearls of Tahiti. They are grown only on the French Polynesian isles. The shells of “pinctada margaritifera” with their black or deep-green colour of pearl issue, have always been praised for their unusual qualities – thickness and quality of the mother-of-pearl, depth and shine of the colours. Pinctada Margaritifera is the most diverse oyster speaking about colours. The colouring of the pearl itself seems to be safe from all external influences and depends only on the shell itself.
The pearls of the southern seas, the famous Tahiti pearls, can be easily recognized because of their size. It varies from 9 to 17 mm. The layer of nacre around the set core is usually thick and strong. That is how natural colour, glitter and beauty are acquired. These pearls do not need artificial treatment and are considered to be “the queens of pearlsâ€. Such pearls are divided into 2 main groups – dark and fair. Dark pearls come from the shells of “Pinctada margaritifera”.
Due to the remarkable qualities of these oysters Tahiti is acknowledged as the best producer of black pearls. Only one core can be used for a southern-sea pearl, in comparison with freshwater and sea-water pearls. Many of the black pearls found on Tahiti, are of perfect round shape.
