Jewellery highlights at Cannes Film Festival 2019 | The Jewellery Editor

The red carpet has been rolled up, the paparazzi have folded their ladders and the safes full of jewels have been hoisted out of the hotel suites and on their way back to home. But the glamour of the Cannes Film Festival 2019 lives on in these images of some of the most beautiful women in the world wearing the most fabulous jewels.

The Brazilian model Adriana Lima chose to match her dress with Chopard’s Red Carpet Collection earrings made of lightweight titanium and set with 92.06 carats of tanzanites.
Andie MacDowell kept her Cannes red carpet look simple with a cool all-white gown and Chopard diamond earrings and bracelets from the Haute Joaillerie Collection.
Winnie Harlow wore Boucheron's Serpent Bohème diamond earrings that were the only white in her colourful outfit complete with jewel-bright purple eyeshadow and a sequin crocodile dress.
There’s no looking back for Angolan model Maria Borges who wore Chopard’s titanium earrings from the Red Carpet Collection featuring 94.31 carats of imperial topaz and two floral diamond cluster rings.
Chinese actress Guan Xiaotong opted for Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie Collection titanium earrings shimmering with 23.81 carats of sapphires, diamonds and emeralds and a titanium bracelet with 46.09 carats of sapphires, 37.51 carats of diamonds, 20.91 carats of emeralds and black diamonds.
Let’s not forget that there are stellar red carpet moments for men too. For the premiere of Elton John’s biographical film Rocketman, the singer wore a single yellow diamond earring and diamond cufflinks along with white gold watch set with diamonds and amethyst, all by Chopard.
The Swedish top model Elsa Hosk added sparkle to her all-white outfit with a de GRISOGONO necklace with 289.45 carats of diamonds
Natasha Poly wore just one earring from Boucheron’s Lierre de Paris collection that winds around the ear like ivy for a delicate yet contemporary look that struck just the right note on the red carpet.
Shining out against her fuschia gown, Madison Headrick wore Pomellato’s Tango bracelets, rings and earrings for a strong and very original look. The Tango collection features the Milanese jeweller’s iconic chain entirely dusted in diamonds.
Milla Jovovich wore a diamond initial pendant necklace from newcomer Nigora Tabayer’s Eye Collection recently launched at Paris Couture. The pendant features an initial as well as an emerald eye surrounded by diamonds.
German model and former girlfriend of Leonardo di Caprio, Toni Garrn shows us how to wear a lot of diamonds with the utmost of ease. Toni chose a Messika diamond necklace to go with her striking black and white outfit.
Julianne Moore is often seen in Chopard jewels on the red carpet. Here she wears a necklace from the Haute Joaillerie Collection set with 48.84 carats of pear shaped emeralds from the Red Carpet Collection.

Chopard’s jewels have long dominated the Cannes red carpet thanks to the Swiss house’s pioneering presence at the festival and the ensuing close relationship with the event’s organisers as the official jewellery sponsor. Since 1988 Chopard has made the Palme d’Or, the prestigious prize awarded to the best film and in 2014 first used Fairmined gold in its manufacture.

Chopard has the largest suite of all the jewellers that take space in the hotels along the Croisette. Its rooftop terrace is the gathering place for celebrities, clients and most importantly, stylists who choose jewels for the daily red carpet and numerous photo calls. This season Chopard was the jeweller of choice for Julianne Moore, Andie McDowell, Adriana Lima, Chinese Actress Guan Xiaotong and many more including Elton John.

De GRISOGONO is another strong player on the Cannes red carpet and this year adorned Dua Lipa, Eva Longoria, Natasha Poly and many others. Bvlgari has been increasing its presence over the past five years with Bella Hadid at the forefront of the Italian jeweller’s red carpet foray. Boucheron enjoyed some stellar moments with Winnie Harlow and Natasha Poly wearing their jewels with great personal style and individuality. Pomellato is also making itself seen at Cannes and had a slew of celebrities including brand ambassador Chiara Ferragni, Pamela Anderson and Madison Headrick stepping out in their creations.

And what a coup for newcomer Nigora Tabayer whose Eye Collection jewels were spotted on super-model Eva Jovovich as well as Rebel Wilson and Elsa Hosk. Messika was also present, as this Paris-based diamond house gains a larger international presence.

It will be another year before we have the next dazzling show of jewellery at Cannes so enjoy looking back and our stories of past red carpet moments in the section below.
