In the early 2000s, stars like Angelina Jolie popularized emerald earrings, showcasing vivid gemstones as a red carpet staple. More recently, Lady Gaga's appearance at the 2019 Oscars wearing the legendary Tiffany Diamond – once worn by Audrey Hepburn – was a breathtaking homage to vintage glamour. Modern icons like Zendaya and Rihanna continue to embrace bold, artistic pieces that reflect individuality and innovation.
