Oscars 2018: My Favorite Jewelry Trend

Did you watch the Oscars last night?

In true mom fashion, the only Academy Award nominated movie I saw this year was Boss Baby! I guess that’s still pretty bad for a mom, since I didn’t even see Coco or Ferdinand!  My son actually saw more of the nominated movies than I did!

But I’ll happily admit that my favorite part of the Academy Awards has always been Live from the Red Carpet!  What a dream to be decked out in the best designer gowns, dripping with diamonds and jewels!!

I loved the classic feminine look of the actresses this year!  I was also surprised to see the overwhelming choice for the lack of color when it came to jewelry.  But what’s not to love about diamonds and a white toned metal?

I also noticed most of the actresses opted for a no-fuss hairstyle.  The trend for hair seemed to be down with a side or middle part, with either sleek tresses or loose curls.  Even the updos looked effortless.

Here are some of my favorites from the Red Carpet…

Since a very high percentage of us can’t afford the jewels that were hanging from the ears of the stars, I thought it would be fun to round up a collection of more affordable options for you.

Here are a few earring options all for $75 or less!
