EVERY article I write about Rihanna’s style provides me with a new excitement about covering jewelry — a topic I’ve written about for 25 years. But Bad Gal Riri has been an icon of jewelry for many years, and she just keeps throwing out the rule book, coming up with new ways to wear classic diamonds, pearls and gemstones. She is legendary for bringing myriad looks back into fashion — the choker necklace, large vintage gold watches, and diamonds worn in multiple strands or layered, to name a few.

THERE’S NOTHING like a designer getting a jewel into a film, especially on an iconic actress like Cate Blanchett.

ONE OF MY GUILTY pleasures throughout March was watching The White Lotus Season 3. While many friends were trying to figure out the mystery of who was killed at the hotel in Thailand, I was focused on identifying the jewelry and watches.

DIAMONDS WERE ABLAZE throughout awards season, crossing every classification of jewelry. So when Doja Cat performed during a tribute to the Bond franchise, singing “Diamonds Are Forever,” she not only paid homage to the film of the same name but also carried forward the dazzling diamond trend. But before she changed to go on stage, she walked the red carpet in a Balmain leopard strapless gown with a deep neckline and a flared mermaid train.

ELLE FANNING CONTINUES to turn up on the red carpet season after season and year after year in the perfect jewelry for her frame, her gown and the trends that are happening, or as a style-setter for those that are about to happen.

THE OSCARS AND other events during awards season celebrated vintage jewelry, diamonds and statement pieces. But my two favorite looks were worn by Margaret Qualley and Michelle Yeoh, who wore their necklaces backwards. It’s a style I have been noticing on actresses on the red carpet since at least 2010. Yeoh wore a diamond tie Boucheron necklace and Qualley a Chanel High Jewelry diamond necklace, both with low-cut, back-bearing dresses.
