You can tell a lot about a woman's waistline...

You can tell a lot about a woman's waistline these days. How so you ask? Without getting a beat down and thrown out of your house? Let' s just hope for your sake she was at the Sag Awards on Saturday night or was watching! There's your free pass!

Any woman who dares yell at you or shoots you some disturbing looks definitely didn't watch the Award show. The ladies of the night definitely drew some major attention to the one spot people dare to look at! Their waistline. Bedazzled in jewels is an understatement. Who would have thought! What a great and inspiring look! The ladies donned vintage diamond and crystal brooches and added that extra sparkle to their gowns, while leaving their ears, necks and wrists very elegant, simple and tasteful. By far, my favorite look of all the award shows to date. How romantic and whimsical! It's nice to see that these days after the trends have become so bold and skin baring, that this can add a little bit of class, which is what we like!

Kate Hudson for starters looked unbelievable, the white dress, the draped Cartier Sautoir down her back-WOW, incredible, classy, sexy, the whole nine! Bravo!

Christina Applegate...Samantha Who?? forget Samantha, we were blown away by her Swarovski crystal embellishment, and to top it off, her Lorraine Schwartz platinum and diamond leaf pin. So fantastical!

Carey Mulligan, someone I wouldn't have expected to, as Rachel Zoe would say "DIE" over, but her pearl and diamond vintage inspired brooch just perfectly added the romance to her gorgeous red Lanvin dress.

Kyra Sedgwick...a body to die for...her crystal flower brooch just sparkled...

and of course, Mariah Carey...obviously a butterfly, but so tastefully done Mariah! We love it!

So of course these woman all have fantastic bodies and make-me-jealous waistlines, but everyone should always pay attention to where their jewels can go!!

Lots of diamonds and rubies!

Martin ScorSEXY!!!!

That's right, Mr. Martin ScorSEXY! What an impression he made on us last night...We always pay such close attention to what the women are wearing but have we really ever taken notice to the men of the ball? not so much my friends...well, then, case settled. The men ROCKED last night at the 67th Annual Golden Globes, ladies, take a seat for a minute, we have some HOT business to discuss!

Martin Scorsexy was honored last night at the Golden Globes with the Cecil B. DeMille Award in recognition of outstanding contribution to the field of entertainment. Actually, we were honored to stare, I mean listen to his delicious speech while ooowing and ahhing at his over sized black glasses and studly stud set...Did you see those studs? We're not talking about the other men, we're talking about the men wearing the amazing, dashing and brilliant stud sets, that we so completely fell in love with! For starters, martin looked divine and the studs just complemented his attire. Colin Firth? another outrageously HAWT man sporting the old school stud look, Will Smith donning a stud set embellished with pearls, Tom Ford, one of the sexiest men alive, he clearly knows how to look sleek and bold no matter what he is in! And even though Robert Downey Junior who is always our sherlock holmes, we appreciate his attempt to pull off this ingenious look, but really sherlock? the studs were a little too out there for us, you should have done your research! but we still love you!

As for the ladies, I mean, clearly all the men have PUT A RING ON IT! We've never seen so many fabulous rings and cocktail rings. BRAVO ladies, I'm absolutely loving the bare neck look!! it's about time, women after my own heart. You'll rarely ever seen me rocking a necklace...there's just something so divine about a bare neck. Unless we're discussing the exception to the rule...24" necklaces, close to your heart...then you're good to go...so for all you ladies wearing the choker necklace (excluding Sophia Loren, we'll always love your style, necklace or no necklace) well, you looked fabulous but not in our top 5! we're loving the ladies who sported the array of rings and fabulous earrings! just to name a few of our favorites... Halle Berry, AMAZING, Penelope Cruz, STUNNING, Anna Paquin SURPRISINGLY GORGEOUS, Julia Roberts-loved the long VCA necklace and how demure was Christina Aguilera!

Till the next award show!!

Lots of diamonds and rubies,

Are you next in line to marry a Jonas brother?

Are you next in line to marry a Jonas brother? A Kaplan brother? A Hoffman twin? Or the only son in the Brown family?

Ladies, we know that YOU know when it's your time! There comes a time in every woman's life when she's been dating her boyfriend for let's say...2 plus years...some are ready before that, some after, but on average, as we all get a little older, it's around that time. You've hit the 2 year mark, celebrated the anniversary, went to a romantic dinner as you waited patiently for him to confess his love to you, pour you some champagne with the ring in it or in it's tiny black box that he has so secretly hidden in his pants so that you're not feeling around his pockets for it...and then he pops the question... with...drumroll....a whopping 20 carat fancy yellow diamond ring set with micropave diamonds around the band! OK, well... not exactly, but we assume this is what you were hoping for...

Ladies, whether you're dreaming of a one carat cushion cut ring, a three carat round brilliant, or you have high hopes for a ten plus carat ANYTHING =), let us know!

We keep all of your dreams on file with all of your information so that when it comes time for you to drop the big hint to your man, all he has to do is call us or email us and we already know what you want! We'll take all of the hard work away from his daily stresses, and it should be smooth sailing from there!

And the best part is...he'll never know you prepped us before HE was READY! It will be our little secret!!

You can email us anything on your wish list!!

Check out my favorite..a little unique, the 10.50 carat rose cut diamond ring!!!

Budgets may be tight...

Budgets may be tight, but that doesn't mean you need to wear an over sized bag dress with no jewels! ladies, it's 2010! time to dress up, feel good and add that extra sparkle to your wardrobe!

What a year 2009 was. An economic recession to say the least, the swine flu outbreak leading to less dates for men and women which obviously means less glitter a girl will purchase....poor Michael Jackson's passing, along with many others...putting those Swarovski crystals to rest...and then some.

It's time to make 2010 the best year we can have. Watch your budget for sure, but keep in mind, it's all about one piece that makes a statement. our philosophy today? Less is more...if any of you know me...I love, love, love jewels, but I am a minimalist! So, what's more perfect then a one piece statement! This is definitely a year to shine. Be safe or bold with a large over sized necklace, or take a few fabulous bangles, stack them up on one wrist! That oversize cocktail ring? break it out!!! go minimal on the other hand and you'll find the perfect balance! Done and done! go get em gals!

Lots of diamonds and rubies,

Amber and Jen
