Remember
rummaging through your Mum's jewellery box, digging out clusters of crystal and sparkle, and discovering the ultimate treasure.... BIG bold glamourous earrings? With a splodge of red lipstick and holding up an enormous and elaborate
twist of black and green crystal to my ear, I was practically a dynasty extra
and Vogue cover star rolled in to one (in my mind). By the time I was old
enough to actually wear a pierced earring, the jewellery trend for 'dynasty
earrings' had passed in favour of street, then subtle styles and unfairly
assigned to a box labeled 'Pat Butcher'. So thank god for Cannes! The Cannes red
carpet is always a showcase of standout glamour of which jewellery is a big part,
but this year's earrings were ballsier than ever. Cara Delevingne and Cheryl
Cole led the way with dazzling De Grisogono
designs, with Cheryl's statement earrings setting off her Monique
Lhuillier gown and up-do perfectly and Cara D making classic design cool by
teaming Art Deco fans with a metallic Chanel dress and hot red lips.
The gorgeous Rosie Huntington Whitely also wore De Grisogono, who's founder Fawaz Gruosi threw a star-studded party at the 2014 Film Festival, but they weren't the only Swiss jewellers to attend, diamond legends Chopard were responsible for Alessandra Ambrosio's beautiful pear-cut earrings and Cate Blanchetts diamond prawns! Others going for glitz over gold were Izabel Goulart, Biana Balti and Lea Seydoux who's pairing of an emerald green Prada dress and matching earrings oozed with elegance. Want to get involved with earring sophistication? Check out a few high-street examples below, while I dust off those vintage earrings.
