It often seems as if there is some sort of collection consciousness at play among the various celebrity stylists who dictate the looks going down the red carpet. Some years it’s all about the necklace, other years, earrings are the star of the show and there’s ne’er a necklace to be seen. Whichever jewelry does make the cut has the ability to highlight for the masses of people tuning in some truly spectacular pieces, and even establish some long-lasting trends. Van Cleef & Arpels “Zip” necklace was first patented in 1938, but when Margot Robbie wore one to the 2015 Oscars, suddenly everyone was familiar with its storied history. In 1999, Gwenyth Paltrow’s styling of a platinum and 40ct diamond necklace from Harry Winston as a choker, set off a global craze for chokers. And of course, before Angelina Jolie’s right leg earned its own social media accounts, the 115ct Colombian emerald earrings designed by Lorraine Schwartz that the star wore to the Oscar’s in 2009 practically broke the internet.
