    Soft V Neckline with a V Drop Necklace

  • Golden Globe Glamour

    Golden Globe Glamour

    Join the glitterarti and achieve your own red carpet worthy looks with our quick fix guide to stealing the styles of the stars, as seen at this year’s Golden Globe Awards 2014.

    A Time for Turquoise

    The most head-turning Golden Globe jewels were in shades of too-chic turquoise. The ever-sleek Sofia Vergara wore a statement-making Lorraine Schwartz turquoise necklace to completely offset her polished black sleeveless Zac Posen gown, whilst Emma Roberts achieved the same contrasting combo with her black off-the-shoulder number and bright turquoise earrings.

    Turquoise

    You too can ensure your jewelry takes the focus with trend-setting turquoise gems such as Sophie’s Closet’s Siman Tu Blue Aqua Glass Earrings, or our Siman Tu Aqua Crystal Drop Earrings. How about the Ciner Nadya Turquoise Statement Necklace, with an open back and featuring oval turquoise glass stones in graduating sizes surrounded by clear rhinestones or the Ciner Turquoise Gold Panther Necklace with long seed beads and a hidden box clasp closure.

    Emerald City

    Another hue stealing the spotlight in the Golden Globe Jewelry style stakes was elegant emerald. Both the effortlessly glamorous Helen Mirren and fun-loving Jennifer Lawrence chose to adorn their lobes with this enticing shade of emerald green. Ms Mirren’s emerald drop earrings perfectly complemented her matching green Jenny Packham dress and Roger Vivier clutch. Jennifer Lawrence made her mark in a white and wonderful sleeveless Dior ball gown and chose to complete her look with a simple black box clutch, a stack of black and silver toned bangles, and dazzling drops of green emerald crystal earrings.

    Emerald

    Get their look for yourself with our Siman Tu Jade Drop Crystal Earrings,  the Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald Baguette Drops or the Kenneth Jay Lane Silver Emerald Earrings with Swarovski crystals. Or why not combine two red carpet trends into one with these glistening green circular disc drops by Meghna Designs Circle of Life? Enhanced with emerald glass stone and Cubic Zirconia, all pierced ears will shine in these dazzling delights. All are sure to get your girlfriends green with envy!

    Exquisite Earcuffs

    The most modern way to work the winning Golden Globe Jewels trend is with a contemporary and oh-so-chic earcuff, a la Rashida Jones and the truly stunning Amber Heard. Amber oozed pure class in her midnight blue-hued Versace frock, sky-high Jimmy Choo shoes and Graziela Gems jewelry.

    Earcuffs

    Here are a few of the current earcuff offerings just waiting to entice you at Sophie’s Closet:

    The Noir Large Gold Crystal Nightfall Ear Cuffs, the Erickson Beamon Emerald Crystal Spike Ear Cuffs (gold pated and enhanced with Swarovski crystals), the Erickson Beamon Black Gold Ear Cuffs or the Erickson Beamon Nightshade Ear Cuffs (for pierced ears), are our favourites.

    Hot Hoops

    The gorgeous celebrities at this year’s Golden Globe Awards ceremony certainly knew how to work a glamorous gown and the best way to maximize its appeal. Many opted to keep jewelry subtle yet sensational, such as Berenice Bejo and Cate Blanchett (in her Armani Privé dress and Chopard jewelry) and Ariel Winter in Mikael D. These fashionistas donned contemporary hoops.

    Hoops

    Achieve this lust-worthy look for yourself with a perfect pair of Noir Gold Pave Spike Hoop Earrings with Cubic Zirconia stones, or perhaps the Miriam Haskell Pearl Hoop Earrings, with glass pearls and Swarovski crystals takes your fancy. Or the Kenneth Jay Lane Large Turquoise Hoops – gold plated with turquoise glass cabochons for sensational stand-out style.

    Kerry Washington hit the headlines by confirming her pregnancy at the Golden Globes 2014. She was also credited as being one of the best-dressed stars of the night in her Balenciaga bump-friendly ensemble, cute clutch and simple jewelry. Her earrings were a nod to the current tassel trend sweeping the globe.

    Tassel

    Bag yourself a beautiful pair of tassel-tastic ear enhancements with one of these shimmering styles:
