We Match Our Vintage Jewelry to Current Hollywood Star Jewelry!

Today we thought we’d explore some of today’s current actresses as far as what jewelry they love wearing on the Red Carpet. Our three picks?  Gwen Stefani, Cameron Diaz and Heidi Klum!

Cameron Diaz’s Diamond Tennis Necklace

 

Cameron Diaz could be the “Girl Next Door.” She is classic yet relaxed and boasts a smile that is hard to match. Born on August 30, 1972 in San Diego, California, Cameron’s love for outdoor sports started at a young age—and this 5 foot, 9-inch actress is quite the competitor. Her nickname is “Cami” and she left home at 16 and visited and lived in some exotic places like Japan, Australia, Mexico, Morocco and Paris.

She started as a model and then in 1994, secured the female lead in Jim Carrey’s The Mask (1994). Some fan favorite movies include, My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997), There’s Something About Mary (1998), the Charlie’s Angels lineup of movies and the Gangs of New York (2002), the movie Cameron says marked the pinnacle of her career.

Our Cameron Diaz jewelry pick is not a tennis bracelet but a tennis necklace! At seventeen inches long, the total carat weight is a whopping 27.5 of round brilliant (CZ) diamonds; it also includes sterling silver and rhodium plating.

Our match to Cameron Diaz’s diamond tennis necklace? This estate Greg Ruth 4.56 carat round baguette diamond necklace. Set in 18k white gold this necklace has 68 full cut round diamonds (3.19 carats) and 72 baguette diamonds (1.37 carats) Quite the stunner we think!

Gwen Stefani’s Heart Locket Necklace

As the lead singer of the No Doubt band, Gwen Stefani is also known for her fashion line and as an occasional actress. Born on October 3, 1969 in Fullerton, California, her given name is Gwen Renee Stefani. Her nicknames? “Sunshine” and “G-Loc.” This 5-foot, 6-inch actress packs quite the powerful singing voice.

Gwen received two Grammy Awards for Hey Baby in 2002 and Underneath It All in 2003. Her clothing and fashion design biz is called L.A.M.B. and she is often seen wearing her collections. She had a part in film The Aviator and is known for her quotes; one of which is:

“I’ve been making a conscious effort not to think about the future. I’m lucky to not have a real job, to be able to express myself, be creative and be relevant. I don’t know what I will be doing in 10 years.” 

We chose her heart locket necklace with a heart-shaped filigree setting and clear (CZ) diamonds. The snake chain has a lobster claw clasp and it’s sterling silver, rhodium plating.

Our match to Gwen Stefani’s necklace is our vintage 18k white gold heart locket .50 carat diamond necklace. With 52 full cut diamonds, our necklace also has a hinged back and inner frame to hold a photo with a pierced filigree heart on a 20.5 inch chain.

Heidi Klum’s Dusky Black Pear Drop Earrings

Our next Hollywood icon is Heidi Klum who was born on June 1, 1973 in Bergisch-Gladback, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Nicknamed “The Body” Heidi is stunning at 5-feet, 9-inches. Her famous modeling career started as an accident when she decided to submit some photos to a modeling competition hosted by Petra. She won the competition and her career was off and running. She signed with Metropolitan, a German modeling agency and then headed to the U.S. to become a well-remembered Victoria’s Secret model—making the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1998.

Heidi has her own fashion lines in sandals, jewelry and perfume. She played actress Ursula Andress in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004) and is married to British singer Seal. But perhaps most of us know her as the tough host of Project Runway. In 2010, Heidi Klum launched her own line of maternity fashions called “Lavish.”

We chose Heidi’s dusky black pear drop earrings which contain one pear drop (CZ) stone in sterling silver with rhodium plated. Remarkably stunning on the ears of these model/TV icon.

Our pick to match Heidi’s earrings? Our vintage 58.00 carat black onyx rose cut diamond and 18k pink gold silver dangle earrings. We say they each have quite the dangling effect noticeable from across the room on anyone ears.
