Oscar is an award ceremony which draws attention worldwide. Many of them watch academy awards presentation to admire the fashionable jewellery and cloths that celebrities. Academy award is a place where fashion can make or break the image of any celebrity. If you remember in 2004 at Oscars actresses Vivica fox was looking gorgeous and dazzling with the pink diamond studded in her dress, which was designed by Randi Rahm. Even Maria Menounos gained lot of popularity at that time as she was also wearing same type of dress, but her dress was studded with brow diamond. This dress almost had 2000 diamonds totalling 3000 carats, worth $2.5 million, as these dress was also designed by Randi Rahm.

Jewellery worn at the Oscars is not buyed by the celebrities, its not that they could not afford the jewellery but they don’t have to buy the jewellery as the jewellery designers and dealers sponsors them to gain the visibility for their companies, and so fashion designer. The jewellery which are worn by celebrities are selected by them, from the catalogue that designer wants to promote. There are designer who work with several celebrities, so that they can’t repeat the same design item again.

The theme of last year (2007) academy award was off the shoulder dresses. Especially with a band diagonally across one of the shoulders with followers such as Kate Winslet, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Beyoncé just to mention a few. Yellow gold was spotted on very few celebrities and diamond cuffs were preferred over neckwear’s. However the one trend of jewellery was diamonds drop earrings and big size flower studs.

Jennifer Lopez was seen in Lorraine Schwartz diamond and topaz drop earrings matching with her Romanesque Marchesa dress, Beyoncé was not wearing any jewellery but the gemstones built into Giorgio Armani Privé frock, Eddie Murphy was spotted in a one-button grey Versace Couture tuxedo with black silk satin peak lapels accessorised with large diamond stud earrings.

It’s always been interesting to watch Oscars and check out which jewellery design is going to gain popularity.

Pearls and diamond go hand in hand and they are both precious and give the style ¡­they make you style icons and divas¡­and others look up to you. Making a diamond earring at home is a near impossible task unless you have a full-fledged jewelry designing business at home but designing your pearl earrings at home is not tough. It¡¯s as easy as making instant coffee.

Pearls come in various size, shape and color. Using our tips you can make any number of earrings with different color, style and design ¡­just a little knowledge and a yearn to wear new and unique jeweler should do the trick.

Pearl earrings come in different styles like studs, chandeliers dangles, hoops, clips-on, and drops¡­Studs go well with formal dresses, dangles with party wears and drops for all occasions.

First let me teach you a style which would combine both dangle and drop styles-
The items that you will need are:
1 inches wires (x2)
6 head pins
2 – Five loop components (It¡¯s easily available in the market)
18 – 3-4mm freshwater pearls
Round-nosed pliers
Flat-nosed pliers

1. Put 3 pearls in a head pin. The head of the pin should be down. Then use the round nose pliers to make a small loop on the pointed side of the pin.
2. Repeat the same process with all the remaining five pins.
3. Now using the flat pliers put the ready pearl pins in the first, third and fifth loops of the component and tightens it up.
4 Put the wire to the component piece and make a semi loop which can be put in the earlobe.
5. Use the same process to make the other earring.
Voila!!! Your combination dangles are ready. If you wish you can also use different colors beads for different strings.

Now to make a simple stud all you need are
2 button pearls
Two earring pins (available in shops easily)
2 stoppers (available in shops easily)

Simply put the pearl bead in the earring pin (keeping the head of pin down) and using the round pliers¡¯ just twist the pin after putting the bead. This will keep the pearl bead at right place and won¡¯t let it move. Put the stopper at the end and your studs are ready.

Style tips:
1) The style of earring also go with the face cut…if u have small face with large forehead studs and clips-on will look great on you!
2) If your face is big and forehead small, go for bigger studs that completely covers your ear lobes or dangles.
3) If you have a pear shaped face then chandeliers would suit you any time.
Use the natural pearls in pink or beige for a richer look and white goes well in summers.
4) Never use pearls that have scratchy surfaces.
5) The pearls should have a glowing luster if genuine.
