Award-Winning Jewelry Designer Alan Friedman Provides the Perfect Accent to Oscar's Gold

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- When Hollywood veteran Morgan Freeman ascended the podium to accept this year's award for Best Supporting Actor, the coveted Oscar statue wasn't his only gold accessory -- he chose Alan Friedman's yellow diamond and yellow gold small hoop earrings to frame his winning smile.

"Alan's use of color is amazing and I love the uniqueness of his designs," says Freeman's stylist, Anna Roth, who dressed Freeman for the event. "His natural color diamond pieces are perfect when you need distinctive jewelry with not only classic appeal, but also a contemporary touch."

But Freeman wasn't the only one lighting up the red carpet with Alan Friedman jewelry -- "Insider" host Pat O'Brian was wearing a gold and yellow diamond watch by Alan Friedman for De la Cour. O'Brian's co-host Lara Spencer wore Freidman's platinum and yellow princess cut diamond bracelet with matching yellow and white diamond earrings, while "Ray" producer Benjamin Stuart kept time with a white gold black and white diamond watch, also by Alan Friedman for De la Cour.

Often referred to as modern classics, Friedman's pieces win awards of their own. He won last year's prestigious Spectrum Award for "Best Casual Wear" and is a recent winner of Spectrum's "First Place" and "Best of Show." A third-generation jeweler, Friedman has consistently created unique collections featuring hues ranging from intense canary yellows and deep cognacs to iridescent blues. But the color most associated with the Alan Friedman name is the coveted pink diamond because he is the only designer in the world whose core business is built around pinks.
