The Cannes Film Festival is arguably one of the best showcases for the top international jewelry houses to showcase their finest and brightest gems and designs for the world to see.
This 12-day festival brings out the most exceptional designs and creations from the likes of Chopard to Harry Winston.
It’s where you can see leading ladies like Charlize Theron and Jessica Chastain as well as ingénues like Dakota Fanning and Rihanna parading down the red carpet in the latest couture gowns and decadent jewels.
Here are the best jewels from the most revered jewelry houses that were showcased on the festival’s red carpet.
CHOPARD:
The jewelry house has a deep history with the Festival as it’s been the official partner and designer of the coveted Palme d’Or trophy awarded to the most critically-acclaimed movie. This year, the buzz on the red carpet was their collaboration with music super-star Rihanna.
Singer Rihanna wore emerald, rock crystal quartz and diamond earrings, a black nephrite and diamond bracelet with a 31.95-carat emerald, three emerald and diamond rings and a floral bracelet set with diamonds, all from the Rihanna Loves Chopard High Jewellery collection, at the premiere of the movie ‘Okja’.

Karolina Kurkova wore a sapphire and diamond necklace from the High Jewellery Collection from Chopard at the premiere of ‘Based on a True Story’.
Actress Juliette Binoche wore platinum and diamond earrings by Chopard.
Actress Elizabeth Olsen wore diamond flower stud earrings by Chopard. We simply adore the placement of these earrings.
de GRISOGONO
This jewelry house showcased some of the best and boldest designs to hit the red carpet with their use of brilliant colored stones.
Model Hailey Baldwin wore stunning drop earrings set with white and brown diamonds, and edged with citrine briolettes.
Model Jenaye Noah wore a pair of exquisite de Grisogono chandelier earrings that glowed with oval-cut citrines from their Melody of Colours collection. A perfect compliment to her vibrant blue gown.
BVLGARI
This iconic jewelry house showcased their classic Serpenti jewelry and picked up major press when actress and model Emily Ratajkowski was photographed wearing their pieces both on the red carpet and on her personal Instagram.
Model Bella Hadid wore a Bulgari High Jewellery Serpenti necklace and bracelet in white gold.
Model and Actress Emily Ratajkowski combined two Bulgari necklaces, one comprised of pearls, rubellites and diamonds from the High Jewelry Collection and the other pendant necklace made with diamonds, emerald and rubies.
BOUCHERON
The design house had some of the most striking statement-making pieces to hit the red carpet at Cannes. Actress Salma Hayek’s necklace rendered us both breathless and speechless!

The classic diamond jewelry house is known for their slogan “a diamond is forever” .This year, Chinese movie actress and taste maker Fan Bingbing embodies the classic elegance of Hollywood that the brand is synonymous with as she modelled a coveted collection of jewels from the house.

Harry Winston
Known as the “jeweler to the stars” and Nicole Kidman’s ‘go to’ jeweler, Harry Winston notably had Nicole Kidman wear his jewelry on the red carpet. Best bet as she had the most films to debut on the Cannes Red Carpet this year.

We recently saw a lot of interest in a ring on that had been used in an article on Beauty and The Beast inspired jewellery. We find it fascinating that despite all of the salacious gossip surrounding the industry, the craftsmanship and prestige of the designers and curators around the industry prevails. We haven't seen anything else quite like it since, but the intrinsic nature of fashion and fine jewellery and celebrity will always be a guiding light.

A way of adding the wow factor without going deep into the bling territory is to go with a pave band ring. In order to add on to your knowledge, the word pave originates from the French word for paved. A pave band set comes with a large number of small diamonds accented together making the ring band looks as a glittering path, paved with diamonds.
