Luxury jewelry brand, Cartier, certainly cemented some publicity last night on the Oscar's red carpet. Amy Adams, who I loved in The Fighter, wore an exquisite array of jewelry from the prestigious jewelry retailer that I'm pretty sure required body guards to be present (for the jewelry not Adams!) just due to the sheer magnitude of the value: $1.35 million.

The contrast between Adams' porcelin skin and the emerald jewelry was gorgeous. Since Adams' L"wren Scott gown did most of the shimmer, the jewelry chosen was simple and elegant and one did not detract from the other.

On her wrist, she wore a platinum and diamond Haute Joaillerie secret watch bracelet. The emerald alone was 30.75-carats! It also featured 575 diamonds. Her earrings were a pair of platinum and diamond 2-carat stud earrings; a really great choice in my opinion--simple and understated. The Cartier necklace was also platinum and diamonds with a 33.24-carat emerald.

What did you think of Amy Adams' jewelry?
