Celebrity Diamond Spotlight:
Blake Lively
Blake Lively isn’t one to shy away from eye-catching natural diamond jewels. From statement earrings to layers of pave chains, the actress and entrepreneur loves a good diamond accessory. It certainly doesn’t hurt that she has a close relationship with Lorraine Schwartz, Hollywood A-listers’ go-to jeweler—Beyoncé even name-drops Schwartz in her song “My House.”
Whether walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival or supporting her husband at one of his movie premieres, Lively is always dripping in natural diamonds. Most often it’s an earring, perfectly complementing her cascading blonde hair. Even at the launch event of her haircare line Blake Brown, she wore a pair of statement earrings that peeked out perfectly behind her blowout.
Lively’s press tour for her highly anticipated film It Ends With Us, has given us a plethora of stunning, floral-themed outfits to honor her film’s character Lily Bloom, who owns a flower shop. From dresses to jewels, Lively has opted for color, bold designs, and plenty of sparkle.
Lively famously does not work with a stylist, preferring to pick out her own looks and accessories, and has created some very memorable ensembles over the years. “I love design and I love fashion and it’s a way to be creative,” she told WWD in 2018. “In my job, I get to be creative, but it’s over a period of time and so many other people are involved, whereas this is a beginning, middle, and end, and I get to be creative and there’s an end date in the near future.”
Ahead, take a look at some of Lively’s best natural diamond jewelry looks from over the years.

To see your pieces on the big screen—I don’t know how to describe it but I’ll never forget it. She is the kindest most thoughtful person and I think she knew when she asked if we wanted to come to the screening me that it be would be better as a surprise! And it was.”
