Even in the early days of Hollywood, the public looked to the stars to determine what is fashionable. After all, celebrities were expected to be always glamorous and in vogue. Some of the popular jewelries were based on what the stars wore (or the other way around). Heavy metal dangling earrings were fashionable when silent movies were still the trend. When sound was incorporated in the movies, the rattling of these earrings overwhelm the actor’s voices and so tighter fitting jewelries replaced the dangling ones. The public noticed and this form of jewelry was popularized.
Nothing much has changed at present for the public who is still particular with what the stars are wearing. This is evident in the way the stars have to dress up for the Oscars because they know people are looking at what they wear. The celebrities are both fortunate and unfortunate in events such as these. They get to wear expensive designer jewelries and they get the publicity that they want. However, they rarely own these jewelries but the jewelers get free advertising.
At any rate, celebrity–inspired jewelry is becoming increasingly popular and imitations are selling well. The way the stars influence current trends is evident in the media’s brouhaha over celebrity engagement rings. The engagement of Catherine Zeta-Jones to Michael Douglas was sealed with a 10–carat marquise diamond. Jennifer Lopez’s finger glittered with a 6–carat pink diamond when Ben Affleck asked for her hand in marriage. All eyes are also on TomKat (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) when Katie wore the 5–carat ring given by Tom.
Popular TV shows like “The Sex and the City” also influence fashion trends. The horseshoe necklace worn by Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) in this widely watched TV series is among the top 10 online celebrity jewelries. Imitation of pendants worn by Brittany Murphy, Madonna, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jennifer Lopez are on the top list of celebrity jewelries that are considered very stylish. Gwyenth Paltrow’s drop earrings, Paris Hilton’s drop chandelier earrings, Jennifer Aniston’s stud earrings, Jessica Simpson’s hoop earrings and Jessica Biel’s dazzling stud earrings which was given by boyfriend Justin Timberlake all got in the top 20 online celebrity jewelries. Gem–studded cuff bracelets worn by Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron and Kate Winslet also caught the press’ and the public’s attention. Catherine Zeta-Jones, one of the most fashionable stars nowadays, was also caught wearing a gleaming diamond necklace with ruby accents.
As long as celebrities exist, our fascination for them and the jewelries they wear will always be present.
