Another pre-Oscar jewelry preview has been announced. This one is from the Platinum Guild International and will display platinum jewelry designs from 25 jewelers including Neil Lane, Jacob & Co., Erica Courtney and Peter Norman & Co. There will be more than $12 million dollars worth of jewelry will be on display at the event March 2 and 3 at the Mondrian Hotel in Hollywood. Some of the most notable pieces include a $1 million Kothari & Co. ruby ring, a platinum and 51.50 cushion-cut diamond necklace from Jacob & Co., a platinum and diamond Vertu phone worth $44,000 and the famous 67.5 Black Orlov diamond set into a platinum necklace, valued at $2 million. As I mentioned before, the Orlov has quite a legend, including a curse which may or may not have been broken when the original stone was broken into smaller pieces . I can't wait to see who wears this to the awards.
