Last year statement necklaces were the big trend for the Golden Globes but this year it seems that diamond earrings were the hottest trend. White diamond earrings were particularly popular and many actresses looked beautiful in diamond drop earrings worn on their own, without a necklace. Personally I love this look – it’s glamorous, chic and draws attention to elegant necklines and décolletage.




Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Garner wore diamond dangling earrings which are perfect for off the shoulder dresses and really stood out with their swept back hair. Penelope Cruz looked unbelievable with diamond drop earrings that added to the classic glamour of her black lace dress. Chloe Sevigny looked wonderful as always with her sleek, understated bun and nude dress, showing off a very modern way to wear diamond earrings.

Diamond Earrings

The classic glamour and irresistible sparkle of diamond earrings sets off any outfit – whether you are wearing diamond studs with jeans and t-shirt or cluster or drop earrings with an evening outfit. Diamonds are perfect for catching the light and bring truly classic glamour to any outfit. And with Valentines Day just around the corner, diamond earrings are practically the perfect gift. There are many styles of diamond earring to choose from but here are some of our favourite pairs.

On Saturday night’s X Factor Dannii Minogue wore a gorgeous matching jewellery set of a pendant and earrings. The pendant looked great with her low-cut dress and her earrings really stood out with her trussed up locks. Dannii and Cheryl’s private competition to be the best dressed is definitely swinging Dannii’s way with her recent choice of classic, glamorous jewellery that flatters her outfit and really dazzles.

Matching Jewellery Sets

A matching jewellery set gives you a very classic look and adds a polished feel to your whole outfit. By wearing a matching set you can give your look a finished, pulled-together feel and it definitely makes it easy to pick out your jewellery. Dannii was wearing a jewellery set of earrings and a pendant but you could also choose a matching bangle or bracelet, whatever works best for your look. Matching jewellery sets also make wonderful gifts, especially at Christmas. Here are some of our favourite matching jewellery sets:

David Otunga's Ring

Traditionally engagement rings have been bought for women by men, but recently there has been a trend for women to buy mens engagement rings for their partners too.

Sex & The City actress Jennifer Hudson recently presented her fiancé David Otunga with a stunning engagement ring designed by Neil Lane – Hudson gave the ring to Otunga after accepting his proposal as a special gift. It can be hard to find male engagement rings but there are lots of stylish options out there – whether you are giving a second ring like Jennifer Hudson, a woman proposing to a man or a male couple thinking of having a civil partnership.

Finding Mens Engagement Rings

There is no set design for a male engagement ring, so the choice is endless when it comes to men’s engagement rings. The best place to start is with men’s dress rings, which you can find in a huge range of designs. You can choose a male version of the classic diamond engagement ring, or if your man would prefer a more masculine design try looking for darker gemstones, smaller diamonds or a classic stone set signet ring.

Angelina's Snake Ring

Angelina and Brad Pitt are following in the footsteps of other celebrities like Nicole Richie by creating their own range of jewellery. Angelina and Brad will be creating a limited edition collection of jewellery for Asprey, all inspired by snakes. Their snake jewellery collection will include a wide range of rings, bracelets and earrings with a serpent motif.



Angelina Jolie chose to create snake jewellery thanks to a gold snake ring she was given while pregnant with her daughter Shiloh. Since then she has regarded the snake as a personal talisman, hence the name of the new collection – The Protector. Angelina is famous for her charity work and proceeds from The Protector collection will benefit the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, an agency Jolie founded to connect children’s charity organisations.

Snake Jewellery

Angelina’s love of snake jewellery as a protector is actually in line with the ancient association between snakes and protection. Many ancient cultures saw fearsome serpents as protective creatures and snake jewellery was very popular in Ancient Rome for that very reason. Whether or not you believe in the symbol of the snake, Roman-style snake jewellery is a gorgeous way to make your outfit glamorous.
