On the 12th of December we witnessed the first major red carpet event of 2014 – the Golden Globes. It took place in LA where the most prominent Hollywood stars showed off their designer gowns and show – stopping jewellery. I am obviously more interested in the latter, in particular the red carpet jewellery.

Earrings and necklaces were the jewellery stars of the night. Minimal jewels, art-deco designs, bold colors and vintage looks dominated this year’s red carpet. It was great to see colour splashes of blue turquoise, green emeralds and red rubies among the timeless classics: diamond studs, ‘riviera’ necklaces and tennis bracelets. The youngest and coolest celebs showed off their edginess by wearing ear cuffs, 2-finger rings, midi-rings and rocking the solo-earring trend.

I am not going to keep you any longer from browsing through the 3 key jewellery trends of the Golden Globes 2014. Click on the image to find out what red varpet jewellery each celeb wore.
