The 2022 Academy Awards — also known as the Oscars — celebrated the top talents across the film industry. Nominees include a range of Hollywood’s top stars who traditionally glam it up for their red carpet entrance.
How Much Does Red Carpet Jewelry Cost?
While the red carpet is a haven for fabulous designer dresses – it’s also where some of the sparkliest and most expensive jewels can be seen, from multi-million dollar necklaces to multi-carat rings.
Some notable bling has been worn by such superstars as Jennifer Lopez whose 2011 Golden Globes jewels were estimated to be worth $5M to Lady Gaga’s gigantic 128-carat yellow diamond necklace at the 2019 Oscars valued at $30M.
Where Can You Find Red Carpet Looks That Cost Less?
Anyone looking to replicate the eye-popping looks of fine jewelry and luxury watches donned by Hollywood royalty would expect to pay a king’s ransom. We were able to easily find authentic pieces just like those worn on the red carpet for a fraction of the price at reputable pawnshops all across the country:
Jamie Dornan, nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture and the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Belfast, sports an Omega Seamaster which we found at USA Pawn in Jackson, Mississippi for just $4,750.
Musical artist H.E.R who performed at last year’s show, was one of many stars who wore emeralds at this year’s celebration. Her choice was a necklace with matching earrings and ring. We found several emerald pieces at the online store for Jeweler’s Cut in Cullman, Alabama including a stunning ring that features a center oval-cut stone that’s nearly 3 CTW surrounded by 22-round brilliant cut diamonds priced at just $1,039.
“Luckiest Girl Alive” star Mila Kunis donned an incredible diamond ring with a pear-shaped center stone surrounded by other diamonds of varying shapes and sizes. We found a similarly stunning ring at Traders Loan and Jewelry in Los Angeles for just $6,995 with a carat of diamonds set in 14kt white gold.
Kodi Smit-McPhee had social media buzzing about his custom Cartier watch . While that watch is a custom piece, we found a stunning collectors edition Cartier watch just $1,349 at the Garner location of National Jewelry and Pawn with 23 stores throughout North Carolina. They share items from each of their locations on their Facebook page.
Zoe Kravitz channeled old Hollywood glamour in a pink Saint Laurent gown and delicate diamond jewelry.
We found a similar necklace to hers at Atlanta’s Dynasty Jewelry and Loan, known as a shopping destination for those who love luxury. This 20″ diamond tennis necklace boasts approximately 10 carats of diamonds and is priced at $8,999.
