A little less sparkle at the Grammys this year
Oddly enough the Grammy Awards which are usually a chance for people to be as outrageous as possible, were fairly understated even when it came to jewelry. Like we saw at the Golden Globes, earrings and rings dominated for the most part with very few complete sets on display. Luckily some stars still managed to wear some large pieces. The beneifts of blinging up a performer like Fergie is that you have all those additonal ear piercings for diamonds. She wore custom small diamond hoops and massive heavy looking chandelier earrings from Rafinity. Lovely designs to be sure but they look like they are seriously weighting down the poor girl's lobes.
Most of the men at the event also sported bright white diamond stud earrings, often from Jacob & Co. Rapper Akon proudly proclaimed that his diamonds came from his own mine in South Africa. After the jump, some more of the shimmering displays from the evening.
Christina Aguilera wore lavender jade and diamonds in the form of large hoops, bangle bracelets and a right hand ring, all from Lorraine Schwartz .
