From Reese Witherspoon and Natalie Portman's stacked bracelets, to Angelina Jolie and Jessica Biel's diamond stud earrings, Hollywood's leading actresses chose to celebrate their achievements with enduring platinum jewelry at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
Stars who celebrated the night in platinum jewelry included Angelina Jolie (25-carat Platinum and diamond stud earrings and a 12-carat Platinum and diamond ring, both by Lorraine Schwartz); Reese Withspoon, who opted for Fred Leighton platinum and diamond earrings and vintage Fred Leighton platinum and diamond bracelets; and Natalie Portman, who wore platinum and diamond earrings by Harry Winston, along with a Harry Winston diamond cluster ring.
Jessica Biel opted for Tiffany & Co, wearing an opera-length platinum and diamond necklace and diamond stud earrings, while Claire Danes wore princess-cut diamond earrings by Bulgari. Another Jessica, Jessica Alba, also wore Bulgari platinum and diamond earrings.
Diane Lane went with jewelry by Neil Lane – always a favorite for red carpet events – choose platinum chandelier earrings set with white and yellow diamonds and a white and yellow diamond cocktail ring, as well as white and yellow diamond bracelets.
Queen Latifah selected platinum and diamond earrings by Chopard, which she paired with a 40-carat platinum and diamond bracelet, also by Chopard.
According to Platinum Guild International, platinum is the ideal choice for red carpet jewelry because it holds diamonds and precious gemstones more securely than any other metal. It is not only the highest quality metal, but its density makes it one of the most durable and enduring precious metals. Platinum is also naturally white, unlike white gold, which means it will not cast any tint onto a diamond or gemstone, allowing the stone's genuine color to sparkle brightly.
