Los Angeles—For nominees and presenters attending the 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, classic diamond looks, including simple studs, drop earrings and stacked diamond bangles, were the big winners of the night.

Risk-takers were notably few when it came to jewelry wardrobing, with attendees instead choosing more understated pieces. That's not to say, however, that the show lacked in glamour. Rather, television's biggest stars channeled an elegance of the Old Hollywood flavor.

Vintage diamond pieces were a major presence at the event, with 1920s and '30s pieces seen on Kyra Sedgwick and Glenn Close, and old mine- and cushion-cut diamonds seen on everyone from Holly Hunter to Mary-Louise Parker.

Among the standout looks were Ugly Betty's America Ferrera in a 19th-century diamond flower necklace by Fred Leighton, paired with 2.5-carat old mine-cut diamond pendant earrings, a rose-cut diamond cluster bracelet and a 19th-century diamond line bracelet.

And Brooke Shields looked stunning in a hot pink gown accessorized with Fred Leighton's old mine-cut diamond leaf and vine earrings in silver on gold. She also wore a 19th-century diamond bow brooch placed just above her waist.

"Lipstick Jungle's" Brooke Shields donned Fred Leighton's old mine-cut diamond leaf and vine earrings and a 19th-century diamond bow brooch to the event.

January Jones and the Kwiat team took the prize for most creative use of diamond jewelry. Mark Townsend and Kwiat created a custom diamond hairpiece for the Mad Men star by wrapping Kwiat diamonds by the yard with large diamond pieces.

And while she stood out among her four male co-hosts, Heidi Klum also made waves as a style chameleon among the ladies. The Project Runway host donned six separate Lorraine Schwartz looks over the course of the evening, sporting big, bold diamond pieces. Among the attention-grabbers were shoulder-grazing gray and yellow rough-diamond flower earrings, swinging butterfly drops and a bohemian diamond and lavender jade suite.
