Classic and Modern Diamonds Dazzled on the Stars at the 61st Annual Emmy Awards

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- DIAMONDS, their strength and brilliance sparkled on the red carpet as Emmy nominees and Hollywood's elite shined in thrilling diamond fashions at the 61st Annual Emmys.

Brilliant diamond jewelry - both classic and long diamond earrings, stunning diamond bracelets and large diamond rings - made an appearance on the red carpet accompanying the many jeweled and scarlet frocks. Some of the best diamond looks included Anna Gunn from "Breaking Bad" in Everlon Diamond Knot Collection earrings, a 4-row diamond bracelet and a marquise diamond ring all from Martin Katz and Blake Lively in 22 carat total weight diamond studs, a diamond cuff and 12 carat diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz.
