- From long drop earrings and cuff bracelets, to cufflinks and a Platinum and 300-carat diamond evening jacket, the world's hottest film and television stars sparkled in millions of dollars worth of pure Platinum jewels at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
"Celebrities are choosing diamonds and colorful gemstones such as sapphires, moonstones, and rubies all set in Platinum to showcase their glamorous side.
