— The Cannes Film Festival is traditionally a star-studded event with daily screenings of the best international films and best red carpet fashion stretched out over ten days on the French Riviera, just a couple of miles away from Monaco and the Italian border. Add each night, a major social ticket. Sprinkle with the thrill of the movie competition, the excitement brought by two major jewelry sponsors and tons of international movie glamour, well you get the Cannes Film Festival 2010. The 63rd edition just wrapped up.

This year was particularly placed under the sign of color, color in gowns and in jewelry seen on the many red carpet events. Some of the social highlights were the following: May 12, Premiere of Robin Hood, featuring Oscar winner Cate Blanchett. May 13, Chopard Trophy Night honored Liya Kebede and actor Edward Hoog. On May 15, Woody Allen and the cast of his new film “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” celebrated their movie premiere with grand style. On May 17, Chopard celebrated its 150th Anniversary with a major bash including a musical set by Lionel Ritchie. May 18, De Grisogono retaliated with a private dinner at Hotel du Cap with a 30 minute performance by British pop star Cheryl Cole. On May 19 Chopard and Muzo International collaborated on an evening on the theme of ‘Emerald Green”. On May 20, the annual amFAR dinner gathered A-listers of fashion and cinema against AIDS. On May 23, the festival concluded with a soiree. The results of the film competition were announced the following day.

Therefore, it is not rare to see some stars wearing different outfits and different jewelry for these many events. Color was very present in the outfits and jewelry, but the winner this year was undeniably green. Emerald was everywhere in different occasions and many jewelry pieces. A lot of animal-inspired pieces were seen in Cannes this year.

On May 19, Chopard and Muzo International, which has been managing the production of Colombia’s most famous emerald mine since 2009, collaborated on an evening on the theme of “emerald green”. The terrace of the Chopard Lounge, located on the 7th floor of the Martinez Hotel was transformed into a luxuriant jungle, for an exceptional “Green Party”. The latter company, whose mine is renowned for its high-quality stones, also exhibited some of its finest gems. The color is, invariably, associated with Colombia, and, specifically, Muzo, the largest and most prestigious of the country’s mines, and located about 100 kilometers, or 60 miles, north of Bogotá. Therefore, Muzo International chose to exhibit this exceptional 150 carat emerald destined to be glorified by the Swiss company. Here is a rough allowing for a 150 carat emerald of the highest quality; Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele will imagine a unique piece which will be revealed later in the year.

Ruby was also one of the winners in Cannes this year as a couple of stars opted for ruby to ignite the red carpet, such as Salma Hayek. The Mexican actress was in Cannes with a fashion mission: debuting Gucci couture. She wore an asymmetrical deep red gown from the Italian luxury giant’s new made-to-measure line for the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. Ruby earrings were there to complement her outfit. At the screening of ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’, she stepped out in a blood red, thigh-high split dress, which was just fabulous, and was wearing ruby chandelier earring this time.
