The Examiner put up some great coverage of Style Lab's 2011 Golden Globe jewelry suite. Have a look at the full article on their website or read an excerpt below.

The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards brought Hollywood’s brightest and most talented stars together for one magical night of accolades, amazing fashion and gorgeous Platinum pieces.

The 2011 Golden Globes was the talk of the town regarding who won and who wore what. One general theme that stood out was that the stars turned to Platinum as their jewelry of choice to sparkle on the red carpet. Celebrities ranging from young Hollywood starlets like Natalie Portman, Camilla Belle, and Michelle Williams as well as Hollywood vets like Annette Bening, Hellen Mirren, Julianna Margulies and Edie Falco sparkled and stole the spotlight all in Platinum.

Celebrity stylist Michael O’Connor gave me a sneak peak prior to the Golden Globes to give me insider access as to what pieces the celebs would be wearing at StyleLab's Golden Globes Jewelry Suite. As Michael pointed out, the red carpet jewelry trends this year were color and larger yet interesting pieces, “big is in.” One popular designer that was a hit at the StyleLab jewelry lounge was Georland, a European designer that’s “fairly new to the United States, originally from Europe but does really, really interesting, beautiful precious and semi-precious color also with a little bit of a whimsical feel.” My fave picks were Georland’s frog ring and brooch as well as the collection of hoop earrings in pink, blue or yellow sapphire. As for the larger pieces that made a statement, Beverly Hills designer, Dena Kemp’s beautiful cuff bracelet stood out for its larger proportion and intricate details.
