Christine Taylor

Combining modern and historical jewelry items, Christine Taylor's 2010 Oscar look was elegant and refined. While the old emerald necklace from the Virreina suite of jewels connected one to jewelry history going back to 1780, the Stephen Russell earrings gave a modern touch. With a two-century rich legacy, this amazing necklace included rare emeralds that had seen many historical events. Renowned for both historical relevance and great quality, the Virreina suite embodied the height of 18th-century jewelry workmanship. Every emerald in the necklace was meticulously cut and set using period-specific techniques to produce a piece that has endured. These antique emeralds combined with contemporary Stephen Russell earrings proved Taylor's ability to link several eras of jewelry creation while yet keeping a unified style. This one of the most fascinating jewelry events of that year's Academy Awards was produced by the way the items matched one another, thereby providing a great mix between old and new.
