During this year’s 61st Primetime Emmy Awards Ceremony platinum jewelry in all its shapes and forms, ruled the red carpet. Platinum earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rare men’s watches and cufflinks, all dazzling in diamonds, wear draped on all the celebrities who attended.

Previous to the awards ceremony, there was an exclusive event hosted by the Platinum Guild International where celebrities were invited to view and select jewelry to wear for the Emmy’s and to the after parties. From items like a 100 carat diamond and platinum necklace, to earrings, bangles, rings and men’s jewelry watches, the selection of platinum jewelry was truly amazing.

Platinum is a great metal that is often used in high end jewelry and luxury watches because its natural white color enhances the radiance of precious stones. Not to mention that there is simply nothing more glamorous and reminiscent of old Hollywood than platinum and diamonds, as explained by style expert Michael O’Connor: “Classic Hollywood glamour is the hottest trend on the red carpet this year. Celebrities are choosing to make a statement with their jewelry by highlighting their neck, wrists or ears with bold pieces.”

Chris Harrison, host of TV shows like Antiques Roadshow and The Bachelor was seen wearing a men’s jewelry watch in the form of a Platinum Rolex watch with diamonds and mother of pearl dial.
