Standout gemstones at the Academy Awards

The red carpet at the 98th Academy Awards marked the grand finale of this year’s awards season, bringing some of the most extraordinary jewellery moments with it. From vibrant coloured gemstones to statement diamonds, here are some of the standout pieces worn on Hollywood’s biggest night.

Rose Byrne wore a bespoke cognac diamond and chocolate enamel choker at the 98th Academy Awards.

The rich tones of cognac diamonds paired beautifully with the deep chocolate enamel, creating a warm, luxurious palette that framed the neckline with dramatic elegance.

Demi Moore wore emerald-cut emerald drop earrings at the 98th Academy Awards.

Each emerald was framed by a delicate diamond halo setting, allowing the deep green stones to take centre stage while adding subtle brilliance and movement.

Zoë Saldaña wore a geometric necklace featuring platinum, rubies, and diamonds at the 98th Academy Awards.

The structured design highlighted vivid ruby accents framed by bright diamonds, giving the necklace a sleek architectural feel while delivering classic red-carpet glamour.

 

Anne Hathaway wore an exquisite diamond necklace at the 98th Academy Awards.

The centrepiece featured an 8.02-carat pear-cut fancy vivid yellow diamond set in a detachable pendant, surrounded by more than 35 carats of pear, round, and step-cut diamonds. Crafted over 850 hours, the remarkable piece was paired with yellow and white diamond earrings for a radiant, coordinated look.

Kate Hudson wore over 41 carats of rare green diamonds at the 98th Academy Awards.

The centrepiece was a custom-made necklace featuring a 16-carat fancy green diamond, surrounded by 49.85 carats of white diamonds. She completed the look with green diamond earrings and rings, creating a remarkable display of one of the rarest diamond colours on the red carpet.

Chase Infiniti wore a golden collier necklace featuring a large cushion-cut yellow diamond at the 98th Academy Awards.

The warm-toned setting emphasised the golden hue of the diamond, creating a bold focal point that brought classic high jewellery styling to the modern red carpet.

Shaboozey wore a vintage diamond brooch on his lapel at the 98th Academy Awards.

The brooch added a refined, old-Hollywood touch to his look, while a diamond-studded watch  remained subtly hidden beneath his sleeve. He completed the styling with pearl and diamond earrings for an eclectic yet elegant finish.

 

Maria Fernanda Cândido wore a diamond and amethyst high jewellery necklace and earrings at the 98th Academy Awards.

The vivid purple amethyst stones provided a striking contrast against brilliant diamonds, creating a regal colour combination that stood out against the red carpet.

 

Ginnifer Goodwin wore a chunky silver choker necklace at the 98th Academy Awards. 

The piece was crafted in 18k gold and set with emerald, mint tourmaline, and brilliant-cut EF VVS–VS diamonds. The bold structure and fresh green gemstones created a striking contemporary look with vibrant contrast.

Priyanka Chopra wore a diamond and sapphire necklace at the 98th Academy Awards.

The staggering design was encrusted with diamonds and accented with deep blue sapphires, adding rich colour contrast and high-impact brilliance to the red carpet.
