I WILL NEVER FORGET the moment Angelina Jolie arrived on the red carpet during the 81st Academy Awards wearing a black dress and a vibrant pair of emerald earrings by Lorraine Schwartz. It was an iconic moment of color not seen on the red carpet since Hollywood in its heyday. After that magical moment in 2009, stars such as Julianne Moore, Jennifer Lopez and Zoe Kravitz donned emerald and other gemstone earrings. Here’s to a look back and a look forward at the styles in emerald earrings still going strong years after Jolie set an enchanting trend.
