Quantcast
Cheap & Chic: Emerald Envy
Cheap & Chic: Emerald Envy No celebrity endorsement implied.

True, Angelina Jolie's Elie Saab black sweetheart Oscars gown was simple. Also true: Her Lorraine Schwartz $2.5M oversize teardrop dangles were knockouts. They, along with an emerald ring, really made her look, and the best part was they were unexpected. We always see diamonds and sparkle at the awards shows, but these are the biggest, boldest emeralds I've ever seen. They left me with emerald envy. You may or may not know that emeralds are one the costliest gems. But you too can make the world green with envy. Put together a sharp all-black ensemble with one of these and someone will notice, I promise.

i've been trying to find emerald earrings like hers since seeing them on Sunday, but nothing seems to even come close...does anyone know of something that would be closer to hers than the ones featured? they're gorgeous, i'm surprised swarovski or something hasn't come up with a cheaper version yet....

emerald is my birthstone, and it drives me NUTS how expensive it is because i don't have angelina jolie's bank account.

i LOVED her earrings; they were so amazing, and i am lusting after them. badly.

Emeralds are not usually a favorite of mine, but Angelina's earrings were to die for. So gorgeous.

Her tattoos are pas très chique.

Another cheap option is to get Green chandelier findings from GSPN Crystal or any chandelier wholesaler. It'll cost you about $3.00 plus a pair of gold fishhook earrings.

Here are the directions to do it yourself.

I agree -- her emerald jewelry is spectacular. The color is to die for.

I realize I'm in the minority here, but I didn't like her earrings - the color looked too light. I think it may have been the light, but I love emeralds and love their deep green. In certain pictures, her earrings almost look like hard candy, and not in a good way.

DarlingDA on Wed, 02/25/2009 - 5:47pm

I also loves the earis they were so spectacular.

yayi on Thu, 02/26/2009 - 3:07pm
