Los Angeles, CA (March 15, 2026) – The 98th Academy Awards showcased some of the most spectacular jewellery moments of awards season, with platinum serving as the setting of choice for many of the evening’s standout looks. Celebrated for its rarity, strength and naturally luminous white colour, platinum provided the perfect foundation for extraordinary diamonds and rare gemstones worn by Hollywood’s leading talent.
From dramatic diamond necklaces to men’s striking brooches, stylists selected platinum designs that combined timeless sophistication with bold creativity. The evening’s red carpet featured a range of platinum jewellery styles worn by Teyana Taylor, Mikey Madison, Elle Fanning, Channing Tatum and Usher, reflecting the metal’s versatility and enduring place in high jewellery.
“The Academy Awards celebrate the very best in artistry and craftsmanship, and platinum shares those same qualities,” said Jenny Luker, President of Platinum Guild International USA. “Its durability and natural beauty allow designers to create extraordinary pieces that elevate red carpet style while showcasing diamonds and gemstones at their most brilliant.”
Renowned jewellery houses including Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Fred Leighton, Kwiat, and Lorraine Schwartz, presented exceptional platinum creations worn by nominees and presenters, further highlighting platinum’s status as the ultimate setting for fine jewellery.
