Fan Bingbing in emerald and diamond earrings.
During the past two months of red carpet events and Las Vegas’ jewelry week, the vivid color of emeralds provided winning looks in the colored gemstone category. Emeralds at the Couture show and at different international events ran the gamut from those that can be worn in daily rotation to jewels to those more conducive to occasion dressing to ring styles that go from statement to engagement rings. Designers continue to evolve their designs with different cuts, from fancy shapes to carved stones to beads. They are often combined with diamonds or juxtaposed with contrasting precious gemstones from the pink/red family. Their vibrancy evokes joyfulness and optimism—while their meanings include renewal, hope and prosperity. Additionally, emeralds work with different fashion options: the classic white shirt and jeans, a summery floral print, the LBD or an evening number in any color you wish, depending on how you style the jewels and the gown.
Here are styles in the different classifications of jewelry that are more subtle or more dressy, or with the right attitude, all of the pieces below could be worn at any time of the day
