Diamond Diva Dish

The ever effervescent Natalie Portman, known for her natural good looks, intellect, and genuine personality, sparkles in a lively fuschia mini dress. The dress is from the Elizabeth and James clothing line by twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The line derives it’s name from the Olsen twin’s lesser known brother and sister.

Above, Natalie strikes a pose at the world premiere of Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium at NYC’s DGA Theatre.

All is going well for Natalie these days. On a personal level, her romance with model Nathan Bogle is flourishing, she’s busy making the rounds to promote Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, is on the cover of the December issue of In Style, and stars alongside Eric Bana and Scarlett Johansson in the soon to be released period film The Other Boleyn Girl.

With this profusion of color Natalie radiates a wholesome glow enhanced by accessorizing with a dazzling pair of gemstone earrings. I’ve emphasized in previous posts how popular these are on the celebrity circuit now. The trend continues, and with the festive season approaching, the saturation of color will be even more prevalent. Note the net effect of wearing gemstones close to the skin – your eyes will sparkle, you teeth appear whiter – this is the art of enhancing your mood, and illuminating your wardrobe with the addition of carefully chosen jewelry items.

I’m very partial to the result of combining complimentary gemstones in lush, rich tones. Check these out!

These dazzling Gemstone Drop earrings are a perfect combination of diamond, Amethyst and Citrine.

Multi Gemstone Drop Earrings in yellow gold are a play of light and color.

The perennially popular Huggie style Rainbow Gemstone and Diamond Earrings are a kaleidoscope of color.

Drop earrings were clearly the popular favorite on the red carpet. My three top picks:

1) Natalie Portman.

Funky diamond and onyx. She’s wearing the same dress as Madonna, but who cares? I trimmed it so you won’t have to think about that.

2) Anne Hathaway.

Exquisite teardrop pearls. (I did you a favor and cut off her unfortunate collection of bracelet bangles.)

3) Jessica Biel.

Chunky diamond medallion drop. She got flak for her dress, apparently, so I cut that off too. We’re here to take about jewelry, after all.
