Diamonds from antique to vintage to modern pieces were the shining stars of jewelry at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. They showed up in every category of jewelry, from earrings to statement necklaces to rings and brooches. We also saw some beautiful colored gemstones on some A-listers that were alluring enough to inspire trends. I wonder if the event, as the first awards show of the season, will set the tone for the red carpet events to come in 2025?
