From August 31 to September 10, 2022, the Venice Film Festival was a High Jeweller’s paradise with movie stars and models dressed to the nines and ready to impress. Let’s look at some of this year’s most inspiring red carpet jewellery moments, including pieces by Pomellato, Tasaki, Chopard, Cartier and Bulgari

Did you know Venice is built atop 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea? It’s a spectacular city ideally suited to a glittering international film festival… so why did this year’s jewels feel a little underwhelming? There’s no mistaking the quality on display – the Cartier collars, the Bulgari serpents, the sleek Tiffany & Co. diamond chokers – but where was the drama? Perhaps we will have to wait for the winter award shows, like The Academy Awards, to get the ‘wow’ moments.
