All eyes were on Academy Award-nominee Michael B. Jordan at the Oscars ceremony. But the brooch he wore on the back of his jacket, custom-made for him by New York jeweler David Yurman, also deserved attention. The high jewelry brooch, part of a suite of three, features a mix of pavé and white diamonds with a rose-cut black diamond at its center. Jordan has favored a simple approach to his jewelry in the past, but this piece was designed specifically for the occasion, celebrating his Oscar nomination for his dual role in the vampire thriller "Sinners".

Why it matters

The attention paid to the creation of these Yurman brooches reflects the ongoing evolution and understanding of men's jewelry on the red carpet. While jewelry was consistently used by male leaders to signal status and access historically, in recent years there has been a more nuanced approach, with men incorporating fresh flowers, diamond necklaces, and custom collaborations into their formal wear.

The details

The brooch was handcrafted in the David Yurman New York atelier and took 40 hours to complete. It is part of a suite of three brooches designed by the brand to commemorate Jordan's Oscar nomination for his role in "Sinners". The piece he wore featured a mix of pavé and white diamonds with a rose-cut black diamond at its center.
