Mary J Blige performed at the MTV New Year’s Eve Masquerade party dressed to kill in black and white and silver jewelry. The huge silver bangle bracelet looks great, but what we really love are this huge octagon shaped silver hoop earrings. Very original and fresh, Mary! Octagons have many meanings in symbology, including strength and rebirth. Mary has resurrected her career more than once so these are fitting.

Lenny Kravitz performed at Carson Daly’s New Years Eve broadcast in NYC, as well. He sported some major silver jewelry, as usual. Here we have two tiny silver hoop earrings, on tiny silver hoop nose ring, and two very unique rings. One of the rings is an enormous silver ring with a black onyx cabochon set in a bezel setting. He’s pulling this off as a pinky ring. The other ring, on the right hand, appears to have something dangling off of it. And after closer inspection, it is indeed a tiny LOCK that is dangling. Interesting.

We’ve spotted Paris Hilton wearing a number of different gold and silver cross necklaces recently. This photo is of Paris last week promoting the launch of her new perfume.

Here in Berlin last week, Paris was again spotted wearing the same silver cross necklace, which feature a boatload of diamonds, while she decorated a cookie in the Hilton Berlin Hotel.

And here is Paris, during the same week, sporting yet another cross necklace. This one is a bit more “fine jewelry” looking, as opposed to fashion jewelry.

Is it us, or does Bruce Springsteen get better with age? Like a fine wine, but we digress. Here he is at the O2 Arena in London this week performing with at least two silver necklaces, one is a silver pendant necklace, and the other is a silver and black cord necklace. Bruce has been sported all over the place lately wearing a variety of black cord and silver necklaces. Bruce has never been classified as a “jewelry guy”, exactly, which is why it is curious and surprising that he has really been piling on the accessories lately.

Rock on Bruce!

Check out these gorgeous dangly silver earrings worn by the equally beautiful Amanda Lamb at the UK premier of Will Smith’s gripping zombie thriller “I Am Legend“. These earrings are amazing, and we are searching for a better photo of them. They appear to have a celestial theme, which we love, being in the business of symbol jewelry. Girls and boys take note: Silver jewelry looks spectacular with navy blue.

We are very curious about today’s Lindsay Lohan sighting in Beverly Hills. She appears to be wearing several silver bracelets, from one of which dangles a long daggar. Daggars and other long pendants have been a popular theme in designer silver jewelry for the last several years. The symbolic meaning of the daggar is that it is meant to protect the wearer from harm. We think Lindsay’s is actually a silver necklace wrapped around her wrist many times, which is a trick Ricky Martin often uses. Hers is on a cable chain, which twists easier than, say, leather, but it looks cute all wrapped up like that. By the way, notice her nice silver hoop earrings.

Christina Ricci wore a very cute gold and silver star and moon necklace to the press conference for her new movie “Penelope” in Japan today. This is a great example of tasteful symbol jewelry. Check out the trailers for Penelope. We can’t wait to see it!

Teri Hatcher and co-star Marcia Cross spent the day stuffing the FEED bags they purchased as holiday gifts for the “Desperate Housewives” cast and crew, which in turn will help provide food for African children for one year. Nice! This is a great time of year to give your time and financial support to charities. So order your FEED bag today, people.

Marcia looks cute and casual in a silver pendant necklace with a tan colored leather chord. This is proof that redheads look great in silver jewelry. Hmmm, that would make a great future blog.

Beyonce Knowles arrived at the launch of the new Armani scent ‘Diamonds‘ in Milan, Italy loaded down designer jewelery.

First, let’s notice her giant silver hoop earrings. They look like double hoops. And they are at least4 inches in diameter. We’re seeing these huge hoops everywhere these days!

Taking a closeup of the wrist and fingerwear - she wore two giant link bracelets and two bangles on the other side. The bracelets look Italian, and being that this party was in Milan, they probably are. Notice all of her pieces, even the rings, are silver toned. Beyonce, once a gold jewelry devotee, is now seen mostly wearing designer silver jewelry and other white metals, such as platinum.
