PLATINUM RULES THE RED CARPET AT THE 66TH ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS

Hollywood’s top celebrities select Platinum jewelry to celebrate their special evening

Los Angeles, CA, (January 12, 2009) – The world’s biggest film and television stars dazzled in Platinum jewelry tonight at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Jewelry and style expert Michael O’Connor - who helped celebrities find the perfect bling for last night’s red carpet – notes that “we are seeing a return to bold jewelry including stackable cuff bracelets, oversized cluster and drop earrings, and even lapel pins for men.” Platinum is favored on the red carpet because it’s a naturally white metal, so it maximizes the brilliance of gemstones."
