Los Angeles—Most of TV's glamour gals opted for bare necklines at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards, choosing instead dangling earrings, cuff bracelets and statement rings as their red-carpet accessories du jour.

Ugly Betty's America Ferrera, winner of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, kept her neck bare but wore platinum and diamond dangling earrings and rings by Lorraine Schwartz to complement her strapless bright-blue gown. Model and actress Rebecca Romijn, sans neckwear too, chose a rock crystal diamond bracelet and 20-carat pink and white diamond ring by Neil Lane. Eva Longoria of Desperate Housewives fame also jumped on the no-necklace bandwagon, opting for H. Stern rock crystal and diamond cobblestone earrings to accent her sparkly Kaufman Franco cocktail dress.

Other major trends at the show included satin gowns, berry hues, high slits and jewels with a serpent motif.

Actress Minnie Driver, in a yellow satin gown by Donna Karan, wore diamond, ruby and pearl dangling earrings and a black bakelite cuff with diamonds and rubies set in 22-karat gold by Bochic. Private Practice star Kate Walsh added diamond and platinum chandelier earrings, platinum, diamond and ruby bracelets, and a platinum and colored-diamond ring by Neil Lane to her red satin Pamela Dennis ensemble. And stars such as Marcia Cross and Queen Latifah sported serpentine diamond bangles. Latifah's bracelet was from Diamond in the Rough's rough "Iceberg" collection, as were her earrings.

Platinum and diamonds, always a red-carpet favorite, were seen on many of Hollywood's hottest men. Emmy Awards' host Ryan Seacrest donned a platinum tie accent by Superfit and platinum cuff links by Hearts On Fire, Steve Carell of The Office wore platinum and diamond cuff links by Neil Lane and Jeremy Piven, winner of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Entourage, chose Chopard's Dual Time Zone watch with diamond bezel and black crocodile band.

Arnold Brant's platinum tuxedo.

Platinum's strong showing even extended into award-show attire. Entertainment Tonight's Mark Steines wore a platinum tuxedo designed by Arnold Brant during a pre-show event. The tuxedo was custom-tailored and hand-sewn with 10 yards of platinum thread, inlayed in the fabric. Brant will now donate the piece to Clothes Off Our Back to help support children's charities. The tuxedo is valued at $25,000.
