Eye-catching Diamond Bracelets Strike Gold at the 2010 Oscars

It looks like this year’s award for most popular accessory goes to the diamond bracelet, sported by countless red carpet starlets at the 2010 Academy Awards. The diamond bracelet has always been a classic accessory among celebrities, adding subtle sparkle that’s fun, yet refined. This year we’ve seen stacked bangle bracelets and vintage cuffs taking the cake at the 2010 Oscars. The five spectacular starlets below donned the most deliciously decadent diamond bracelets of all.

Always the fashionista, Sarah Jessica Parker stacked on some seriously stylish bling at this year’s Academy Awards. On her left wrist, she wore an assortment of at least eight dazzling diamond bracelets from Fred Leighton, including a 1950′s Diamond Swirl Bracelet, a cognac diamond flexible bracelet, a rose-cut platinum diamond bracelet, and a sapphire and diamond wave-shaped bangle. Adding an interesting twist to her bangles, she sported a temporary Chanel diamond bracelet tattoo. It’ll be interesting to see if this tattoo jewelry catches on.

Penelope Cruz followed in similar suit, decking out in Chopard jewelry only and draping a total of 85 carats of diamonds on her darling self to accent her strapless, deep red Donna Karen Couture gown. She adorned her wrists with a total of three stacked diamond bracelets: a 23-carat Asscher cut diamond platinum bracelet, a 28 carat emerald cut diamond gradual bracelet, and a diamond line bracelet. Penelope looked absolutely ravishing at the Oscars!

Blonde beauty, Amanda Seyfried, accessorized her ethereal silvery-white ball gown with 250-carat brown, champagne, and mint diamond geometric bracelets as well as a brown diamond ball ring, all by Lorraine Schwartz. The effect was so celestial and angelic that she forewent a necklace and opted for non-dangly art-deco style diamond earrings at the 2010 Academy Awards.

A woman of alternative yet impeccable taste, Maggie Gylenhaal decorated her left wrist with an 18k yellow gold Fred Leighton vintage bracelet set with waves of diamonds, and her right wrist with a platinum Fred Leighton vintage diamond bracelet that she accented with an emerald and sapphire brooch. I never would have thought to place a brooch on a bracelet, but this match-up was pure Oscar eye-candy.

Finally, Texan superstar, Miley Cyrus, rocked an absolutely breathtaking Lorraine Schwartz 200-carat bronzed diamond corset cuff bracelet that went beautifully with her champagne colored gown and gave her a soft warm glow. The diamond bracelet was luxuriously ornate with an almost Victorian flair. Her overall look was charmingly romantic if not dramatically glamorous, proving once again that Miley Cyrus knows how to dress to impress on the red carpet
