Diamond and Gem Details from Emmy Awards Night 2025

Hollywood’s biggest stars didn’t just bring show-stopping gowns to the Emmy Awards this year—they brought unforgettable jewelry moments. From dramatic diamonds to symbolic colored gems, these looks prove that the right jewelry transforms an outfit into a legacy red-carpet moment. Here’s a closer look at the standout pieces worn by Sydney Sweeney, Selena Gomez, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, and Meghann Fahy—and the jewelry trends they spotlight for 2025.

Sydney Sweeney: Diamonds, Drama, and Old-Hollywood Glamour

Sydney Sweeney turned heads in custom Oscar de la Renta, but it was her 175+ carats of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds that defined her entrance. The star wore:

• A 120-carat diamond necklace with a dramatic 40-carat marquise drop

• 30-carat pear-shaped diamond earrings

• Rings totaling nearly 25 carats

The scale of the necklace, cascading from her décolletage, echoed old-Hollywood glamour with a bold modern edge. Her jewelry didn’t just complement the fiery red gown—it balanced it, creating a vision of timeless drama.

Ritani Insight: Statement necklaces are returning in force, particularly those featuring voluminous drops and dramatic proportions. Expect to see oversized center stones paired with minimalist gowns for maximum effect.

Selena Gomez: Unenhanced Rubies and Tiffany Icons

Selena Gomez brought fiery elegance in a custom Louis Vuitton scarlet gown, paired with jewels that highlighted both rarity and artistry. Her Tiffany & Co. earrings—set with diamonds and unenhanced rubies from the Blue Book Collection—were the centerpiece. She also wore Jean Schlumberger designs, including the whimsical “Stitches” and organic “Vigne” rings.

The note that her rubies are unenhanced is significant: these rare stones retain their natural rich color without treatments, making them especially coveted.

Ritani Insight: Colored gemstones, particularly rubies and sapphires, are being celebrated in their most natural forms. Unenhanced gems are prized for their authenticity, much like the growing interest in traceable and responsibly sourced diamonds.

Lisa (BLACKPINK): Symbolism in Serpents and Gems

Lisa’s bubblegum-pink Lever Couture gown was pure fantasy, but her Bulgari Serpenti high jewelry pieces carried deeper meaning. She wore a yellow-gold serpent necklace featuring:

• An almost 4-carat mandarin garnet

• Pear and marquise sapphires

• Orange garnets

The serpent motif—long a Bulgari signature—was a symbolic nod to The White Lotus season 3, merging red-carpet beauty with narrative resonance. She completed the look with coordinating Bulgari rings and bracelets.

Ritani Insight: Jewelry that tells a story is more powerful than ever. Expect motifs—serpents, celestial symbols, or florals—to dominate high jewelry design, blending personal symbolism with artistry.

Meghann Fahy: Timeless Diamonds with a Gilded Edge

Meghann Fahy’s black velvet gown with its plunging neckline was the perfect frame for her Tiffany & Co. jewels. She wore:

• An 11-carat pear-shaped diamond necklace from the Blue Book collection, a piece previously worn by Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lawrence

• Diamond drop earrings totaling ~4 carats

• A Jean Schlumberger “Ailsa” ring featuring a 6+ carat diamond

Her look was a masterclass in elevating simplicity: sleek gown, extraordinary diamonds.

Ritani Insight: Signature diamonds—pear, emerald, or cushion-cut—remain red-carpet staples. Jewelry that carries history, whether through iconic collections or past celebrity moments, adds a layer of prestige that resonates strongly with collectors.

The Takeaway: Red Carpet Trends for 2025

This year’s Emmy jewelry moments highlight three key trends:

• Scale & Proportion – Bigger is better, especially with necklaces and earrings.​

• Natural Rarity – Unenhanced colored gems and large statement diamonds are in the spotlight.

• Symbolism & Storytelling – Jewelry that carries meaning, history, or narrative makes the deepest impression.

At Ritani, we believe jewelry is more than adornment—it’s art, history, and personal story all in one. Whether you’re inspired by Sydney’s dramatic diamonds, Selena’s rare rubies, Lisa’s symbolic serpent, or Meghann’s timeless diamonds, the red carpet proves that true luxury lies in the details.
