In front of me is millions of dollars with the jewels that will shine on the red carpet on Sunday and next to me is the man who brought them, celebrity stylist and jewellery expert, Michael O'Connor.

Thank you it's good to see you, good to see you as well. So happy you're here, so happy these are here too. These are jewels that will actually be on stars on the red carpet on Sunday. Most of them will find a home on a celebrity on the red carpet this Sunday. Who's going to wear what, tell me? No, not really. I would be killed, do you know that? Yes you will, and if I try to take that I’ll be killed because we have Ron the security guard. They really send a security guard, there's Ron, it's true. We're not kidding, some of the trends we're going to see on, okay Ron we got it, all right what are some of the trends were going to see on the carpet?

Actually before we get to the trends, let me tell you I have one very special piece, that you really, really need to see and I have a celebrity model. Oh a celebrity model, yes celebrity, lovely and let me tell you about this piece this piece is a two million dollar piece, platinum and diamonds, it was actually worn by Angelina Jolie on the tourists, actually Robert Prokop who is the jeweller actually searched the world to find something like this. This is for you Ron, amazing it fits on my neck so beautifully, this is great, now let me just tell you, first of all let's start started with there because we talked about platinum. Platinum is really no stranger to any red carpet because it is a naturally white metal and is always going to make the diamonds and gemstones look great.

These are all platinum by the Platinum Collection, okay this is oh yeah in the choker, this is gamoo Chien this is Michael bond Anza, these are Brenda Smith and this beautiful ring here is quickbuy super fit, because it actually Taylor makes the size. - Wow unbelievable, he said Angelina Jolie wore what you're wearing. What's going to be the trend for Sunday? Well certainly colour is a very, very, big, big thing. We're seeing that on a lot of runways and these are natural coloured gemstones and natural coloured diamonds by Underwood's in Fayetteville Arkansas. Really amazing pieces, we have these gorgeous earrings to go with it and of course one of the amazing pieces is this beautiful blue opal, very rare blue opal, which is the spectrum Award winner this year by John Ford.

Absolutely amazing, this is worth probably somewhere neighbourhood of half a million dollars. Already so for something like this, you would wear a simple dress because you want the jewellery to stand out wouldn't you? Well like black, I'm all about more, as more, as more, we have another celebrity model, we have another celebrity model, yes in a beautiful piece by 44 carats of diamonds. That black diamond alone is 36 karats, Wow an amazing piece, you know have really been in making a big comeback, so this one here by Diwali. I'm here, this necklace was here by Diwali would be beautiful on any necklace, on then any neck. You know perhaps somebody like Helen Mirren would be perfect and then black diamond slices. Now these are again natural coloured diamonds, this is the pure Naturals collection by Khiladi and the ring that Garcelle is wearing, is actually the match to these earrings.

These are by shaft L diamond, alright quickly show us what's left because we're running out of time and this is a beautiful piece by jewellery by Gail, totally handmade. This is Susan Eisen couture collection, we've got these gorgeous pieces, the Leo diamond which is the only diamond certified to be visually brighter by an independent source and of course we can't forget about the man, we've got the gorgeous people, this is the ladies Rado Hamilton watch but we also have one last celebrity guest what I think they're going to toss to your celebrity guests with the beautiful job.

Fine Jewellery - Fraser Ross



Hello glamazons, it's me and this is going to be a jewellery video. I apologize I’m a little under the weather, jerks at work come in sick and they spread their germs. Anyway this is not a haul video, this is a styling video. I was going to come on camera but I’m too sick. So this is a video about minimalist jewellery or what I feel is minimalistic. Some jerky guy left the comment, it's like do you know what minimalism is? Oh my god yeah, there are a lot of men who are bothered by my jewellery collection and then there are some people who think all I wear is big, obnoxious you know stuff.

They don't realize my collection is really huge and I have a little bit of everything, honestly. So I plucked just a few minimalist pieces from my fine jewellery collection. So let's just jump into it, everything is real and I’m not going to go into detail because the video is going to take a long time, but everything in this video is very, very small okay. So it's what I consider a minimalist, so this was custom and it says number one sister, this is another custom piece, these are solid gold, the bear is rose gold. So you know this is something I would wear if I want to be very, very understated. Here's one, this is a gold angel and she's got a little diamond in the centre. I hope you guys can see that. She's on a gold chain again everything's very, very small and I’ve been collecting jewellery for over ten years, so if you don't like this sort of video please watch something else.

This is tri-coloured gold, I hope you guys can see it. They're very small, pendant here's a little diamond piece and I’m sure these objects are filming larger than they are, but you just have to trust me when I say they're very small. This one is a ruby set with three little diamonds on a gold chain. So these are the jewellery pieces I would reach for if I were feeling more understated. Here's a diamond piece set in gold and then here's my other diamond set in gold and here, if I can get it open, is a diamond suite that I never ever wear because I’m like terrified to wear it. This was left to me from my grandmother, let me, yeah so it's the diamond necklace with the matching little earrings set in gold.

Okay and let me be really careful when I move this stuff because if I lose anything I’d freak out. So give me one moment and we'll continue. Okay so now I’m just going to pluck random items. Here you guys have seen some of this stuff before this is just a very, very slim tiny gold chain bracelet. This has four Swarovski crystal balls at the end, so nothing special but again very minimalist. Here is a necklace that I reach for, it is sterling silver and it's an etched bar. These necklaces are pretty popular, I’m sure you guys have seen people with these.

It's a very slim bar necklace, mm-hmm okay so here is another gold and diamond piece. Now what you're looking at is a bracelet and a choker, see these are the diamonds, I have them hooked together. As you can see the hooks there so this one is the bracelet and one of the diamonds fell out so I have to get that fixed and this one is the choker with the diamonds in it and it looks super long but again that's because I have both hooked together.

I have to take that to the jeweller. I have to find the right diamond to fit in there, yeah some of the stuff you guys have seen, some you haven't, these are just small very, very small silver hoops. Again very, very basic, very, very minimalist, let me see if I can lower that, my phone froze. Okay continuing on, continuing on, I have two bracelets, here these are gold and ruby bracelets, they're very, very skinny, very minimalist, very small. I don't really wear these often. Here is a little teeny little silver charms bracelet, you can see the little charms on there, again it's very, very small, dainty so that's another piece.

Here's a diamond and gold bracelet again, very, very delicate, very, very small. They don't wear that often, i don't really reach for the minimalist pieces very often. You guys know I’m obsessed with watches so this one is very old and it's solid gold. I think the bracelet, everything is solid gold, each I don't know if you guys can see that hallmark there but this is a 14-karat gold watch. I really keep this one locked up, I don't wear it often so that's that. All right there, let me let me see if I can zoom in on my little watch on the homework is at the top, there you guys may not be able to see that but there's a stamp right there, 14 karat gold.

I'm just randomly plucking things out guys, so this is no order here. I have another pair of minimalist hoops very, very skinny, I do wear these you don't really see them when you wear them and then the matching little teeny tiny hoops, these are literally like the size of a dime and you don't really see them but again this is like if you're going to church or at the hospital or something where you just want to wear something, maybe not even take it off. You know then they have this really skinny bracelet that is labradorite for me this is a minimalist piece, you know it's not a really big statement piece. If you ask me, never worn it actually but the labradorite, there's another one of those in here somewhere.

I'll have to find that, I’ve pulled out one of these. You guys have seen these everywhere, they're very popular little diamond bar bracelets, I mean necklaces. This is this necklace, sterling silver, you guys have seen those everywhere and then I have another one, that's the bar whoops it's backwards, it's a bar and it drops into a little teeny evil eye. So there's another one again, these are pretty popular now, so I’m sure you guys have seen these even in fake jewellery.

Here is a tiny little amethyst ring, my fingers are very tiny guys, so I wear a size six finger. Here's another little minimalist ring I need to hurry up, this one is minimalist for me, if I want to dress up this one is a midnight sapphire set in 10 karat gold. It looks black because of the black background but it's actually a dark navy blue. It's pretty ornate too, I don't know if you guys can see the hallmark, in let me see yeah, there you can see it's 10 karat gold. I like to stack this one with other rings, here's another minimalist ring very, very cute, slim sterling silver. You can see the stone is like just floating in there, yeah see it's very cute. I may have to break this up into two parts. Here's another one that I consider minimalist it's very, very thin and you just slide it on like that. Very cute, I mean this is a necklace i literally had on yesterday and sterling silver, so here's a sterling silver chain and it's a little laura moore pendant.

So I got this years ago, the bail is late the bail likes to flip upside down in this pendant and i don't know why, there you go, me a little alarm or a pendant and I had this on yesterday. It's very sweet, it's very cute, oh there's a lot of earrings down in here, another minimalist ring. This one needs to be clean but it's black spinel, it looks like a little black diamond, natural gemstone. I do wear that a lot this is one of my jade pieces and it is 14 karat gold and jade it's very sweet. Again this is more minimalist style jewellery, so you can't have a bit of a tangle here, guys give me one moment. Here's another bracelet with little charms. Very, very small, very dainty, jingles. I've never worn this, alright let me clear this pile, I’m going to have fun cleaning all of this up. I'm sure you guys have seen this one before, it's just a simple little pearl ring very, very simple but I may have to break this up into two videos. Sorry guys, yeah in fact you know what, I’m going to end this video here and then I will continue with part two later.
