O'Connor forecasts that statement necklaces, colorful earrings and vintage inspired designs will be prevalent at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday.

Herewith are details on his red carpet trend predictions:

The Statement Necklace
The necklace is experiencing a major resurgence on the red carpet. For the Emmys, we'll see a variety of styles ranging from the timeless diamond Riviera motif to massive pendants.

Christopher Designs crafted a bold multi-row diamond collar necklace with over 79-carats of white diamonds, set in 18k white gold and priced at $327,484. This sparking design would look stunning on Robin Wright.

DAVANI by A&D Gem designed a necklace that features over 93-carats of black diamonds mixed with over 14-carats of round white diamonds connecting to a large black diamond pendant, set in 18k white gold and priced at $75,000. I envision a classic beauty such as Emma Thompson wearing this design.

MASTOLONI reinterprets a classic pearl necklace with its "Signature Collection Limited Edition" style featuring an impressive Tahitian pearl drop artfully blended with brilliant white diamonds, set in 18k white gold and priced at $8,800. This bauble would look gorgeous on Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Pure Grown Diamonds specially designed a tennis necklace with over 20 carats of round diamonds, set in 18k white gold and priced at $59,825. Claire Danes would look like a princess on the red carpet wearing this piece!

Colorful Earrings
We've seen every type of earrings on the red carpet this past year, from ear cuffs and ear jackets to mismatched earrings and long stiletto designs. Celebrities will experiment even further with earring styles by incorporating colorful gems and fun materials.

John Ford's opal earrings are rare and dramatic. They feature four freeform drop black opals (over 8-carats) interspersed with round brilliant cut white diamonds, set in 18k white gold and priced at $12,900. Bombshell Christina Hendricks would look breathtaking in this design.

KALLATI™ will debut a pair of delicate drop earrings from their "True Naturals Collection," which include over 3-carats of natural fancy colored diamonds, a unique combination of yellows, pinks, cocoas and greens, set in 18k white gold. Priced at $18,750, these gorgeous gems would look ultra-chic on Lena Headey.

Susan Eisen hand fabricated, one-of-a-kind earrings are made from natural twig forms including watermelon tourmaline slabs gemstones, artfully blended with over 2-carats of diamonds, set in recycled 14k white and yellow gold. Priced at $31,000, these exceptional earrings are meant for a Leading Actress Nominee such as Taraji P. Henson.

Takat's exquisite Zambian emerald drop earrings will stand out at the Emmy Awards. They include over 25-carats of emerald and white diamonds, set in 18k white gold. Priced at $327,297, these opulent works of ear art would look striking on Queen Latifah.

Vintage Inspired Designs
Art Deco and Edwardian inspired jewelry will always remain in vogue, as it has a regal flair and heirloom qualities.

The "Queen" of television Lena Headey would make a statement in Shaftel Diamond Co.'s platinum ring with an 8.29-carat ruby and 4-carats of diamonds, priced at $75,000.

LVE by Schachter custom designed a pair of 17.75-carat diamond chandelier earrings set in 18k white gold and priced at $175,000 along with a complementing 13.46-carat diamond cuff bangle set in 18k white gold and priced at $72,000. These masterpieces would fit perfectly in an episode of "Mad Men" and also on actress Elisabeth Moss at the 2015 Emmys. The LVE diamond collection showcases brilliant, handcrafted diamonds cut to ideal proportions that form the Hearts and Arrows pattern set in a patented unique design that features a symbolic thread, representing life's journey together and the way you live love.
