The 83rd Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills became a market moment as established houses—Tiffany & Co., Boucheron and Chopard—placed investment‑grade jewels center stage, and men’s brooches reemerged as a conspicuous indicator of demand for sculptural, collectible pieces that carry resale and auction upside.
- Price: Not disclosed (Tiffany emerald estimated at $2M+)
- Carat weight: Tiffany unenhanced emerald: more than 15 ct; Chopard necklace: 57.09 ct diamonds + 73.7 ct sapphires
- Origin: Not disclosed by brands; provenance emphasized for antique diamonds
- Date: Jan. 11, 2026 — 83rd Golden Globe Awards, Beverly Hills
Standouts with tactile presence
The night favored pieces with vitreous luster and substantial heft rather than whisper‑light accents. Boucheron’s presence was literal: Colman Domingo wore brooches from the forthcoming Histoire de Style High Jewelry line and Quatre Black Edition rings in white gold set with pavé diamonds, a deliberate move that previews the house’s Paris unveiling on Jan. 26.
Colored stones reclaim center stage
Chopard supplied the most numerically audacious example: Ryan Destiny wore a Haute Joaillerie necklace in 18k white and rose gold with 57.09 carats of diamonds paired with 73.7 carats of sapphires—an object with the visual density and color saturation buyers now prize. Dwayne Johnson’s Alpine Eagle Frozen Summit watch, a one‑of‑eight in 18k white gold with 29.02 carats of diamonds, added horological scarcity to the jewel dialogue.
Tiffany & Co.: an unenhanced emerald that changes the equation
Miley Cyrus wore a Tiffany & Co. pendant in platinum set with an unenhanced emerald of more than 15 carats, accompanied by diamond studs and Jean Schlumberger pieces. An unenhanced stone of this scale carries particular investment significance: clarity of natural origin, absence of clarity enhancements, and museum‑quality presence that underwriters and auction houses seek.
The brooch revival and sculptural aesthetics
Men’s brooches punctuated red‑carpet looks from Colman Domingo to Paul W. Downs and Connor Storrie, whose Jean Schlumberger Bird on a Rock brooch carried a 13+ ct diamond. The brooch’s return is less a novelty than a confirmation: clients want wearable sculpture — pieces with dimensionality, mechanical backs that anchor to tailoring, and visible provenance. That tactile, three‑dimensional quality is aligning consumer taste with higher average transaction values.
Antique diamonds and provenance premium
Antique stones were everywhere: Fred Leighton 1930s and 1920s pieces, Tiffany Archives earrings dating to the 1940s, and Margot McKinney tourmaline and pearl collier worn by Dame Helen Mirren at the Golden Eve ceremony. Provenance and period attribution are now value multipliers — certified ownership history and intact settings deliver price insulation in secondary markets.
Why this matters to U.S. retailers and investors
1) Inventory strategy: Stocking sculptural brooches and statement colored stones can raise average ticket size and open men’s jewellery categories previously underdeveloped on retail floors.
2) Authentication & grading: Emphasize certificates for unenhanced colored stones and documented provenance for antique diamonds — these items command premiums at auction and in private sale.
3) Marketing & storytelling: Present pieces as tactile objects—note heft, luster, and setting technique. Customers respond to hands‑on narratives that explain why a 15+ ct unenhanced emerald is rare and investable.
4) Secondary market dynamics: Expect auction houses and well‑capitalized resellers to bid aggressively for museum‑quality colored gems and historically important brooches, widening exit options for investors and estate inventories.
What retailers should watch in 2026
Look for continued convergence of sustainability and provenance: consumers will ask not only where a stone comes from but how its supply chain and prior ownership support long‑term value. Meanwhile, lab‑grown diamonds will continue to serve entry and mid‑tier demand, preserving natural stones’ relative scarcity and price resilience at the top end.
Bottom line
The Golden Globes didn’t just report a fashion moment; it broadcast market signals. When storied houses place unenhanced colored gems and sculptural brooches on global stages, they shape collector appetite and secondary‑market behavior. For U.S. retailers and investors, that means prioritizing provenance, sizing inventory toward statement pieces, and preparing grading and resale strategies that capture the premium these objects now command.
