Angelina Jolie’s Solitaire Sparkle
An actress, model, mother of 4 children, partner to Brad Pitt, Spokeswoman for humanitarian causes, Angelina Jolie does it all, and still manages to maintain a glamour goddess exterior. She is pulled together whether out toy shopping with her children, appearing at a gala, or taking the platform at a speaking engagement.
As you can see from these images, her most oft worn pieces of diamond jewelry, those which are appropriate in any setting, are her diamond stud earrings and diamond solitaire pendant. These are the basic “building blocks” of your jewelry wardrobe – those you will reach for as stand alone pieces, or to layer with others. Sometimes it’s nice to escape the fashion frenzy, though you don’t have to be conservative as the ultimate look is contingent upon which clothing you choose to pair your jewelry items with.
I feel like the proverbial kid in the candy store when I look at these little rock stars of the jewelry box — either in white or yellow gold, diamond solitaire pendants are available in myriad carat weights, cuts and settings.
My favorites are the classic 14K white gold 4 prong round cut diamond stud earrings with matching 1.5 Ct Four Prong 14K White Gold Diamond Solitaire Pendant. As with any diamond purchase from which you intend to get a lifetime of use, choose those of the best quality (and a size visible to the naked eye!) which you can afford.
You may not have Angelinas flawless skin, her full lips, or her man, but you can take a page from her fashion tome and emulate her look in the context of adding some modicum of sparkle to your life!

I am such a big fan of Angelina Jolie. For what’s all the media’s been portraying her, she really does SIMPLE justice. Every single time I look through her photos, she does not do clutter.
I’ve been meaning to pick up some diamond stud earrings…..

I agree, Sharon — she is never “cluttered”, and opts for some trendy pieces, though her overall pulled together look (especially lately) is classic and never over done (and this goes for both day or evening wear). Doesn’t hurt that she’s a natural captivating beauty, either!
I love my diamond studs. I’m so glad they’re no longer considered to be exclusively “dressy” items. Those and my hoops I wear all the time. Love chandeliers, too!

Diamond studs are just perfect for the dress up and dress down. I love wearing earrings but when I meet business clients, I really try to opt for something classy and the studs do work!

Hi Sharon! I think diamond studs are the “must have” jewelry item. I’d always coveted them and they were the first earrings I was naieve enough to think I could get when I first got my ears pierced at 15. Suffice to say, it was many years later that I finally got a pair but I treasure them!
