From Carly Wickell, your Guide to Jewelry
Most celebrities stuck to the usual fare of white diamonds and platinum for their Oscars jewelry, with some onyx, colored diamonds, sapphires and emeralds thrown in. The yellow gold that's been popular at other recent red carpet events was mostly absent at the Academy Awards.

Oscars Night Jewelry
Kate Winslet's platinum and yellow diamond pendant and bracelets, from Tiffany & Co., were among the colorful diamonds on the Oscars red carpet, and Helen Mirren's classic Chopard necklace was most definitely a (125-carat) diamond stunner. Penelope Cruz wore Chopard, too, and her drop earrings were a favorite. Anna Kendrick's look was perfect, from her blush pink gown to her delicate diamond cuff bracelet and "matching" clutch.

Oscars After-Parties
Info about jewelry worn to the Oscars night after-parties will come in overnight. Check the Jewelry Home Page on Monday for coverage.

Before You Buy Gemstone Jewelry
Gemstone jewelry is available nearly everywhere. Guarantees that what you buy is exactly what’s advertised are only as good as the integrity of sellers who take your money, but knowing some of the warning signs can put you in enough of a questioning frame of mind to discover the truth about gemstones before you put down the cash.

All About Platinum
Platinum is a rare precious metal that's used to create fine jewelry like pieces you'll see in the Oscars gallery. Markings engraved on platinum jewelry disclose how much pure platinum each piece contains.
