Another site besides Van Cleef & Arpels that has the ability to transport you into jewelry heaven, giving you an unreal experience, is Dior's Fine Jewelry website. It is the combination of the graphics and melodic music that will have you enthralled. Not only is Dior's collections all beautiful in their own way, but the designs are on the cutting edge of what is new and up-and-coming. So check out the site, you won't be disappointed! Read More
If you are wanting a website that not only showcases jewelry but will transport you to another world, Van Cleef & Arpels website will do just that! Make sure you have your volume turned on, because the soothing music will have you in a relaxed trance. The Jewellery Collection tab has a drop-down list of clickable collections, each are fun to explore. Their jewelry has been worn by celebrities, featured in movies, and has walked down red carpets. I like the trinket boxes that are bejeweled in diamonds and sapphires. Luxury overload! Read More
I love jewelry designers who combine the luxury of real gold with materials that aren't so luxurious. Here is a great example--bright nylon paired with white and yellow gold. Designer Luis Morais is the creator behind these amazing, trendy bracelets. Wear one, two or five...you can't go wrong! Make this your signature bracelet--you've always got to have it on, it's your good luck charm...while you mix and match other bracelets daily. Similar to the Gem Gossip Charity Bracelet, you have some great colors to choose from--so pick one you like. These bracelets range in prices from $190-340. You can pick one up by going to Aloha Rag or finding other retailers through the designer's website. Read More
I have been continually inspired by this photo above on a regular basis, as it is my desktop background. I've been wanting a leather bracelet that wrapped around twice, and have yet to find a good one. Yesterday, while browsing through the Mizuki trunk show that was hosted by Ylang|23 of Dallas, I came across what I've been looking for. Oddly enough it is the perfect size for my tiny wrist and has the initial 'S' on the yellow gold tablet. Those of you who know me, know how significant that letter is to me. I think this will be the one and only item on my Christmas list this year. Designed by Mizuki, priced at $300, and found at http://www.ylang23.com Read More
I've always had a thing for Italian crafted jewelry. I think it stems from being half Italian myself, but I've also experienced owning Italian jewelry purchased by my grandparents on their trips to Italy. To read more, browse this post I did earlier. Without further ado, I'd like to spotlight some amazing jewelry, handcrafted in Italy by designer Iosselliani. Explore their site to find where to shop for the amazing pieces they create. Very glamourous, this single ring looks like it is several stacked on top the other. Convenient if you want that stacked look, but are in a hurry to slip just one on. Made of 18k yellow gold, with the stones being a quartz and a zircon. Priced at $1545. Here is a set of three bangle bracelets. I love how delicate they are and they flow together perfectly. Made of 18k yellow gold and sapphires. Priced at $940. This is a pearl ring like no other. The setting that the pearl is placed in is edgy and exciting. Priced at $875. Read More
Need a bold look for that plain, boring sweater this fall? If you add any of these necklaces from designer Darlene de Sedle, you are sure to outshine the fall foliage. Each are hand-strung using precious gemstones such as turquoise, opals, pale emeralds and pink tourmalines. All three look like they've been discovered in an Egyptian tomb! You can purchase any of these pieces on Twist while checking out Darlene de Sedle's other bold designs!
