Emeralds have really made a huge comeback this year. The beautiful green color of the gemstones always makes celebrities shine and look classy and sophisticated. Some B-listers also get a lift to the A-list because they wear Chopard or Lorraine Schwartz emeralds. It is simply a regal color and a regal gemstone. Emeralds use more of a color blocking system than a diamond or a sapphire, and when paired with the right color dress, they really stand out. Remember Angelina Jolie’s crazy beautiful emerald baubles during one of the recent Oscars? Uma Thurman was recently named one of the Cannes jury members this year. The Cannes Film Festival took place in May and the famously tall Thurman wowed the crowds with her dazzlingly white Versace feathered number and her emerald chandelier danglers juxtaposed with simple tied hair and understated make up and shoes. The actress, 41, who hasn’t been seen looking this amazing in recent years, definitely shocked (in a good way) in France. The emeralds only further underlined that fact that this talented actress is cream-of-the-crop A-list, even if her last big hit was Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Bill: Volume 2’. A Quentin Tarantino muse all the way, we expect nothing less from the radiant star.
