Stylist & Jewerly Expert Michael O'Connor with the latest in jewelry trends for The 62nd Primtime Emmys.
Bigger is definitely better in terms of jewelry. Expect to see big statement pieces all over the red carpet. Well that is if you want Style Seen Daily friend and jewelry expert Michael O’Connor‘s fashion approval. Michael gave us a first hand look at some of the jewelry trends that celebrities will be wearing on the carpet.
Pieces like this black diamond necklace will be seen on the red carpet at The Emmy's.
Since a simplified, more monochromatic look is popular in clothing right now, jewelry is taking the forefront as the focus of an ensemble. Jewelry is serving as more of a contrast to the outfit with the focus being on one area with a large piece, like a big ring with a lot of stones or wearing multiple bangles on one arm. Look for stones like black diamonds, tanzanite, amethyst, and sapphire to be popping up all over the red carpet.

Another emerging jewelry trend that Michael predicts to be a hit on the red carpet is a retro look. He says that a large part of this trend is due to shows like Mad Men that have made the 50s and 60s eras more relevant in fashion. Pearls are making a come back in a whole new way, but these aren’t your mother’s classic strand pearls. Julia Roberts has already been spotted wearing such fashion forward pearls. A beaded pearl necklace also feature beads of a variety of other colors from the AGTA Collection is also likely to be a hit for award season and right on trend for fall.
Tie bars, like this one from Cliq by Superfit, are becoming popular picks for men.
As for the men, actors Terrence Howard and Clint Eastwood have been spotted wearing pins for the lapels of jackets. Look for Cliq by Superfit to be on the men at the EMMYS with pieces like tie bars, rings, and cuff links.

Beautiful TACORI diamond pieces were seen all over Los Angeles this weekend at not just the EMMYs, but also at pre-EMMY parties. Celebrities like Betsy Brandt, Amanda Righetti, and Autumn Reeser all looked fabulous in their TACORI jewelry. We liked the One-Of-a-Kind necklace and bracelet that Betsy Brandt of the TV series ‘Breaking Bad’ was spotted wearing on the red carpet at the EMMYs. The white diamond pieces were paired with TACORI Dantela studs to complete her elegant look.

Actress Amanda Righetti was spotted looking stunning in TACORI yellow gold and diamond earrings to The Art of Elysium’s Second Annual Genesis Event. We especially love how ‘The Mentalist’ actress complemented the earrings, from the Alfeuress collection, with her updo hairstyle. Whitney Port from MTV’s ‘The City’ was also seen wearing TACORI earrings this weekend. Her diamond earrings, which she wored to the Reality Cares Achievement Awards, were from the Crescent Silhouette Collection.

Will Allison wear this dress by Ulla Maija Couture?
This uniquely crafted gown called ”Stephanie” is by designer Anna Maier of Ulla Maija Couture. Each dress is custom made for each bride. Allison loved how this gown was “three or four dresses in one depending on the angle you looked at it,”and told us she “melted in it” when she put it on. The beautiful draping and exquisite fabrics — dutch satin and italien taffeta– makes this gown very luxurious.
So, have you fallen in love with this gown? The Stephanie Gown is available at SAKS in Beverly Hills and the designer Anna Maier will be there in person on August 14, in case you are looking for a designer. The Stephanie is priced at $4,900.

“Simple yet elegant” Allison told us of the Angel Sanchez off white gown. The designer Angel Sanchez is know for his elegant designs and architectural flare, also keeping in mind a feminine glow with a touch of drama to each dress. It is a beautifully crafted piece of art made of fabrics. The dress is priced at $2,860.
We added some extra glow to this piece with accessories from Nordstoms. The Nadri chandelier earrings priced at $138 and Nadri Bangles priced at $100.
Celebrites like Eva Longoria, Brooke Shields and Salma Hayek are also fans of this designer for their big day, because of the way the dress celebrates a women’s body. Focusing on the structure of the dress and keeping in mind, “less is more.”
