Stars and Glitz: Famous Celebrity Jewellery
Kirsten Dunst

The Cartier necklace Kirsten Dunst chose for her Cannes look aptly reflected the idea that occasionally little is more in high jewelry design. Though simple in its general style, the work highlighted Cartier's famed workmanship by virtue of its exact proportions and superb stone quality. The necklace's well chosen diamonds, which produced a subdued but constant shine, demonstrated that glitz doesn't always call for large-scale, dramatic pieces. Its design let it sit exactly against her collarbone, accentuating rather than competing with her dress in an elegant line. This selection showed Dunst's nuanced awareness of red carpet style, in which the correct piece of jewelry can accentuate innate beauty without taking front stage. The way the necklace caught the light as she walked produced faint flashes of brightness that photographers recorded all evening, demonstrating that occasionally the most powerful jewelry decisions are those that whisper rather than shout.
