The 2024 Academy Awards celebration lived up to its reputation for bringing out the best jewels of awards season. It glittered with diamonds and went bold with statement necklaces — which were trends we were seeing — but it also brought back more colored gemstones, chunky gold vintage or vintage-inspired looks and dapper men that stole some of the jewelry spotlight. While there was spectacular diamond jewelry, we are going to concentrate on a few looks and then highlight some of the more unexpected pieces that took center stage.
