Oscars might be the top priority of the Celebs but there are other events where jewellery is flaunted with a slight twist and turn.
At Grammy’s this year, long drop earrings were popular, so were gold and diamond ovals. Yellow gold continued to be the hot favorite at the Grammy’s this year. Stacked cuffs and bangles were a favorite again.
At the Goya’s vintage jewellery was the theme that most of the women carried.
SAG awards were about the bracelets this year. Styles were all over the place, from delicate diamonds and pearl cuffs to chunky jewellery.
So you have a wide variety to choose from.

The Right Ring:
There is no yardstick to measure or qualify a 'right' or 'wrong' ring. What looks good to you and what you feel will appeal to your sweetheart is the 'right' ring for you. Not to forget it's coming straight from your heart and that's what matters the most.

Now, what can one say to compare emeralds and peridots without making either of them turn green with envy? Jokes apart we are lucky to have been bestowed with two such beautiful and unique shades of green gemstones. Let’s talk about color as it is the most vital determining factor in gemstones. Peridots occur in a clear shade of olive green, with varying color intensity depending purely on the proportion of iron components and therefore range from yellow-green, olive-green to brownish-green. Emeralds on the other hand come in a darker shade of green with a prominence of this shade alone. Peridots have a distinct yellow tone while it is the pure green in emeralds that is so hard to resist due to its rich, warm look. Not to forget the befitting description of emeralds as ‘Nothing greens greener’ by Pliny the Elder.
