Classic and Modern Diamonds Dazzled on the Stars at the 61st Annual Emmy Awards

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- DIAMONDS, their strength and brilliance sparkled on the red carpet as Emmy nominees and Hollywood's elite shined in thrilling diamond fashions at the 61st Annual Emmys.

Brilliant diamond jewelry - both classic and long diamond earrings, stunning diamond bracelets and large diamond rings - made an appearance on the red carpet accompanying the many jeweled and scarlet frocks. Some of the best diamond looks included Anna Gunn from "Breaking Bad" in Everlon Diamond Knot Collection earrings, a 4-row diamond bracelet and a marquise diamond ring all from Martin Katz and Blake Lively in 22 carat total weight diamond studs, a diamond cuff and 12 carat diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz.

Both classic and modern interpretations of diamond jewelry were present this year. The ladies of "Mad Men" stayed true to their glamorous on-screen personas with classic diamond jewelry including January Jones in Neil Lane diamond drop earrings and diamond leaf bracelet and Elizabeth Moss in cushion cut diamond drops and diamond bracelets from Chopard. A more modern take on glamour took the form of giant diamond rings which adorned the hands of Jennifer Carpenter in a 41.45 carat black diamond ring from Martin Katz and Melora Hardin in a 20 carat yellow and white diamond starburst ring from Chopard.
