Let’s be honest, we’re never not enamored with red carpet looks at big awards ceremonies. Couture fashion is simply a lot of fun to observe. After all, if we can’t have it ourselves, there’s nothing better to do than admire it.

That being said, there was something special about this year’s Golden Globes red carpet—and, no, it wasn’t the unofficial sequins trend that seemingly swept the fashion world ahead of the Jan. 7 event (just about everyone had a shimmery touch to their garment).

No, this time, we’re talking jewelry. As we watched the red carpet unfold, we noticed something simply inspiring. Just as sequins seemed to take over on the Golden Globes red carpet, diamonds really were a girl’s best friend. Just about every look we saw had a touch of the shiny stone—and just about every look was more elegant for it.

Now, we know what you’re thinking. It would be hard to replicate any of these looks, so why even try? But that’s where you’re wrong. After the Sunday night showing, we’re convinced that the key to a really elevated look is a good diamond, and we know where you can get your hands on some wallet-friendly options that will do the trick nicely.

Dazzling necklaces

Maybe you want to be like Elle Fanning, Reese Witherspoon or Emily Blunt and really wow with a statement-making necklace (we know we would). Well, the good news is, you can with the help of ethical, lab-grown diamond strands from Peace Jewelers.

The stars might have opted for chunkier pieces, but let’s be honest, a simple elegant strand is far more versatile—and just as chic.

Still unconvinced about the whole diamond necklace thing? Let us show you what we’re talking about.

Elle Fanning

Hers was perhaps the closest to the tennis necklace shown above. So simple, but so elegant.

Reese Witherspoon

Come on, how could you not be inspired after seeing a look like this?

Emily Blunt

We’re going to preface this by saying that it doesn’t take much for Emily Blunt to impress us. This look was one for the ages.

Shimmery earrings

Maybe necklaces aren’t your thing. May we tempt you instead with some stunning earrings? But don’t let us inspire you, we’ll leave it to Taylor Swift, Margot Robbie, Natalie Portman and Rachel Brosnahan. Get the look with this stunning set of hoops.

No matter the shape or style, diamond earrings are a must. These hoop earrings are an instant classic and are sure to elevate any look just like the earrings we saw on the red carpet.

Below, check out how the stars styled them.

Taylor Swift

Swift can do no wrong. But, even if she could, this look was definitely right.

Margot Robbie

If Barbie’s doing it, we think that’s proof enough that you should, too.

Natalie Portman

A stunning drop earring that perfectly complemented her dress? Yes, please.

Rachel Brosnahan

Mrs. Maisel did it again by taking the carpet in her best dress and classiest earrings.
