Celebrity gossip can be important to some for the sensational clothing, shoes, and jewelry that celebs make a habit of wearing, particularly on the red carpet. It is there that we see some of the most memorable pieces of jewelry, including unique and extraordinary gemstones. Perhaps the red carpet itself is an influential factor, or the stars see themselves as some version of royalty, but regardless of why, the very regal gemstone, Ruby, is seen quite often upon our beloved celebrities.

Natalie Portman’s Beaded Ruby Tassel Earrings

This beauty, and extremely talented actress, does not need an extra reason to be in the spotlight and yet somehow her choice of earrings at the 2011 Academy Awards managed to do just that.
