A diamond might last forever, but what if the marriage doesn't?

That's a great question. Unfortunately not all marriages last forever these days, leaving you with either a lot of baggage, or a baggage free life with a fresh new start, and to put it nicely, a small or big token of your ex's affection. Whether he picked out your engagement ring and wedding band or you did, it's all a moot point.

I'm sure at this point, whether it be 5 months or 5 years since your lovely divorce was finalized, you've had your rings locked up in your safe deposit box, hoping to never have to think about those memories again. Out of sight and out of mind. Even mentioning your marriage has probably left you wrapping your thumb around that bare and naked ring finger that once was draped in jewels...

Well ladies, it's time to turn over a new leaf. I am sure you thought about returning the ring to your ex..., selling it for cash (though, it's probably not worth as much as he said it was), or keeping it somewhere safe so you never have to revisit that once made commitment. Have you ever thought about treating yourself to something wonderful? Look back on the awful time you had getting over him and give yourself a reason to move on! Create something jaw dropping, dress up your ears with fabulous whopper earrings, make a diamond by the yard necklace, design a cocktail ring that will blow his mind away!

Take a look at what one of our clients did with her wedding band....trust me, you'll feel great with these on and he'll just be a distant memory!- oh, they're as big as they seem =)

Lots of diamonds and rubies,

G L A M O R O U S

Fergie said it right...glamorous! The ladies of the small screen "rocked" the red carpet last night, not only in their stunning gowns and beautiful frocks, but the jewels just dazzled us! Conventional this year, I think so. Old world glamour struck a cord with the ladies of the night. Whether the gown was Grecian, single-shoulder, draping or classic, the ladies studded themselves up with a twist on classic...Nothing too over the top this year and I don't think it's because of the recession, the ladies of the evening (or their amazing stylists) got it right this year. A choice they made, show off those lovely ears, or that stunning collarbone. It's one or the other...and well, if you chose both, you went too far! A stunning over sized stud, or fabulous chandelier embellished with diamonds and colored stones OR a one of a kind necklace. That's right, one or the other. 19th century inspired jewelry, like Hayden Panettiere's fabulous Fred Leighton gold and diamond snake necklace, so different, yet subtle and paired perfectly with her off the charts classic red dress. Vintage jewelry coupled itself with the classic chic dress very nicely... We have to give kudos to Jennifer Morrison for rocking the classic and always fabulous Cartier gold, diamond and sapphire panther ring...such a staple for any woman's jewelry box! And last but not least, our top pic for the night was Ginnifer Goodwin! She was draped in a stunning fuscia gown, only to pair it with a stunning, elegant and dashing rock crystal necklace by Ivanka Trump, that framed her face with beauty! What a look! All together, a great night of understated jewels that left us refreshed and wanting to see more!

Summer Travels

As the Summer comes to an end, I look back and think about how the summer is my favorite time of year. The sun is shinning, people are out in the streets and everyone is on the move. Whether you are jumping in your car to head to the Hamptons or traveling miles overseas, the finishing touches when packing are your favorite jewels in order to glisten in the sun.

I recently came back from Japan and felt like a fish out of water with my chunky jewels and chandelier earrings. The Japanese are quite a unique and special culture and much more simple in their taste for jewelry, keeping it clean and simple. Diamonds are not a big trend, it is more about value and history, which means GOLD, GOLD, GOLD. Local artists and master craftspeople create beautiful and meaningful jewelry, mixing cutting-edge products of the highest quality where you learn about the processes the artisans use to create their goods and enjoy the interesting descriptions that explain the history behind these traditional Japanese arts. Meaningful symbols and signs are genuine examples of Japanese culture and fashion.

I would mark Japan as a MUST SEE country, the mountains are the most beautiful I have ever seen and you would never expect it. The people are so gracious and the food is unbelievable. You could shop for days is Tokyo as the city is huge and the stores are endless. It was an amazing trip but I have to say I am happy to be home!
