From onyx drop earrings and ruby bracelets, to bold watches and chunky men's rings, Hollywood's hottest stars graced the red carpet in millions of dollars worth of Platinum jewelry at the 2006 Golden Globe Awards. Michael O'Connor, Senior Vice President of Platinum Guild International USA (PGI-USA), notes that "this year's trends include drop or linear earrings with length and movement, colorful cocktail rings with extremely large center stones and stackable line bracelets set in Platinum." O'Connor adds that "men are becoming more polished by complementing their suits and tuxes with accessories including watches, bracelets, dog tags, lapel pins and tie tacks. 950 Platinum, a rare and dense precious metal, is ideal for securing large, high quality diamonds and adds sophistication to all attire."
Celebrities including Gabrielle Union ("The Honeymooners"), Jane Kaczmarek ("Malcolm in the Middle"), Amy Adams ("Junebug"), Ashton Holmes ("A History of Violence"), Brandon Routh ("Superman"), Ever Carradine ("Commander in Chief), Rex Lee ("Entourage"), Shawn Pyfrom ("Desperate Housewives"), Alex Nesic ("Sleeper Cell"), and Henri Lubatti ("Sleeper Cell") attended PGI-USA's Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet Jewelry Preview where they selected Platinum jewelry to wear on the red carpet and autographed a pair of limited-edition Platinum jeans by Gekko (men's size 34). Priced at $3,500, the jeans will be available through the Clothes Off Our Back award shows website auction to support children's charities.
Of course, A-listers couldn't leave the event without a piece of fabulous Platinum bling. Amy Adams received a necklace by Rose Veltri Jewelry (priced at $2,400), Shawn Pyfrom and Brandon Routh each walked out with a stunning tie tack by P.M.I. (priced at $500), Gabrielle Union was speechless when she saw her new pair of Platinum and diamond stud earrings by Ricardo Basta (priced at $2,000), Ever Carradine shined in her new heart pendant by Gumuchian (priced at $2,000), and Jane Kaczmarek sparkled in a pair of drop earrings by Kirk Kara (priced at a whopping $6,000!).

About Platinum:
Platinum is prized for its Pure, Rare and Eternal qualities:
Platinum's high level of purity (generally 90%-95% pure) endows it with both a natural white luster, allowing the true radiance of a diamond or gemstone to shine; and hypoallergenic qualities that prove ideal for sensitive skin. Only the purest platinum jewelry will bear a stamp reading "PLATINUM," "PLAT," "Pt 950," or "Pt 900," signifying the jewelry is 90% to 95% pure platinum.
Platinum is 30 times more rare than gold.
Platinum will hold a diamond or gemstone securely, now and for always.
