Jewelry at the Cannes Film Festival 2009

Celebrity Jewelry at Cannes - On and Off the Red Carpet

From Carly Wickell, About.com

The worldwide recession hasn't had much of an effect on the celebrity jewelry at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Some celebrities might have toned down their looks a little, but others are as deep in diamonds and other precious gems as usual.

Asymmetrical jewelry seems to be a hit this year, joined by vividly colored gemstones and some organic-looking pieces.

Do you think celebrities should wear more subdued jewelry and fashions right now? Keep in mind that they don't typically own the pieces -- most are loaners. But is it insensitive to be mannequins for millions of dollars of style during a time when many people are struggling to make ends meet? Use the link below the gallery images to tell us what you think.

(Stop back for jewelry updates as the festival progresses.)
