An Academy Award won’t be the only shining treasure to covet at tonight’s Oscars, when Bunda sends a bespoke pair of earrings down the red carpet.
Breakout star Sam Worthington’s gorgeous girlfriend Natalie Mark will be wearing the splendid jewels, which are some of the only Australian-designed pieces to be worn at the star-studded event.
The earrings are a perfect choice for Mark, because their light-catching kaleidoscopic surface brings to mind the rich dappled blues of Avatar’s Pandora. James Cameron’s visual piece is nominated for Best Director, Best Picture and more, but Worthington’s girlfriend has already won in the style stakes.

Ben Bunda’s design work deserves a gold statue of its own; he’s showcased the natural beauty of the 132-carat Australian boulder opals in a refined, modernist setting that’s both opulent and elegant.
While we can’t all date a movie star, or wear Bunda’s specialty super-rare jewels, it is still possible to get red carpet worthy style with Bunda Boutique. With Bunda Boutique, Ben Bunda applies his considered aesthetic approach, and high-concept design to more accessible pieces. The Bundova earrings show the same gorgeous diamond lining as Mark’s pair, while the Arkose pair make a big statement for a little price.
So while you’re watching the glamour of the Oscars, why not treat yourself to your own slice of Hollywood chic?
