Jewelry Trends on the SAG Awards Red Carpet, 2010

Kate Hudson pulled off one of the best jewelry looks on last evening's SAG red carpet by turning her Cartier diamond sautoir spotlight necklace around so that it drapeed along the open back of her Emilio Pucci gown. Kate was one of many celebrities who chose white metal/white diamond jewelry for the event.

Tina Fey's earrings were from Neil Lane's new Renaissance collection, and fashioned from a mix of moonstone, brown diamonds, yellow diamonds and white diamonds, all set in platinum. Patricia Arquette chose colorful jewelry, too -- her huge yellow gold chandelier earrings were set with emeralds.

Large pendant-drop earrings made a splash on the ears of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Julie Bowen, Holly Hunter and many other celebrities. Joan Allen gets the nod for the most unusual jewelry on the red carpet, with a striking Native American-like waterfall necklace.

Best Oscars Jewelry of the Decade

Best Oscars Jewelry of the Decade
Hilary Swank's intricate diamond necklace ushered in a new century at the Academy Awards ceremonies. The next year, most celebrities arrived wearing the standard fare of large diamonds and platinum, but two, Juliette Binoche and Ashley Judd, pulled off a successful flapper look.
The 9-11 terror attacks were just a few months in the past when the 2002 Oscars were presented, and most stars wore subdued jewelry as a way of showing respect for the victims. Jada Pinkett Smith's jewelry is an excellent example of the understated elegance we saw that year.

Large earrings in every style imaginable were popular in 2003 and 2004, and by 2005 showy jewelry of all sorts had returned.

In 2007, stars arrived at the Oscars with (taller) diamond-stacked wrists, a trend that continues today.

As the end of the decade neared, Oscars jewelry included styles created from black and colorful diamonds, along with designs fashioned from many other colored gemstones.
