Designers

What did a few of our famous and heart stopping stars wear to the BAFTA?

Kristen Stewart kept her jewelry subtle, understated and simple. She just had on a diamond bracelet, a ring and diamond studs. Anna Kendrick on the other hand opted for the most beautiful long drop earrings and then, she needed no other jewelry to spike up her bright yellow outfit.

Kate Winslet on the other hand wore the most beautiful of Tiffany diamonds and black jade earrings that offset her black attire to perfection. This offset her peaches and cream complexion in the most beautiful way.

Vanessa Redgrave looked chic and elegant. She opted to wear drop earrings and multiple strands of pearls that gave her the classic and extremely sophisticated look. On the strands of pearls was an intricate, filigreed diamond pendant. She certainly proved that diamonds are a woman’s best friend. Also, that pearls and diamonds can certainly be paired up together to give the most fabulous of effects.

A diamond pendant that will take your breath away is the one that Gabriella Sidibe wore. It was the most beautifully and intricately designed asymmetrical diamond pendant. The design was one of a kind and it was strung on a thin matching chain. The tapering design of twirls and inspired by floral and leaf designs had people gape at it in wonderment. This was one wonderful jewelry piece for certain.

A woman’s true love, diamonds and …

Fashions may come and go but one thing that remains forever etched in a woman’s mind and a thing of pure beauty is a diamond. As the saying goes diamonds are a woman’s best friend and they always remain as great fashion accessories. Fashion trends have come and gone down ages, but what as remained unchanged are the diamonds.

Diamonds are extremely versatile. If you are born with silver or should that be golden spoon or are able to get married to a rich man, you can ask him to buy you a huge solitaire to flash on your finger. Or else you can buy yourself exquisite and delicate diamond studs or dainty diamond bracelets or a diamond pendant. If you were to peep into the jewelry box of any woman you are bound to find a diamond or two within.

The diamond saga continues in the year 2010 too. Especially so on a hot summer afternoon or evening when you want to look cool and unflustered, diamond jewelry is just the right thing to wear. The way the winds of fashion trends for this year are moving, diamonds will continue to remain the unabated victorious ones.

Diamonds look fantastic in any form and the sky is the limit for designing or fashion trends where they are concerned. The sparkle and glitter that diamonds can get your look is incomparable to anything else in this world. They look wonderful as pendants, hoops around your ears and dangling to add that extra zing to life.

The next time round if your man asks you what you want him to buy for you, don’t settle for flowers. Diamonds will last your forever. And, what better way to prove your love than to buy your woman a diamond.

2010 Winter Jewelry Trends: Alexander McQueen Skull Drop Earrings!

So can we talk about this London born designer a little bit?  Alexander McQueen is always the one that is making waves in every single thing that he touches but I had absolutely no idea that this particular clothing and off-the-wall shoe designer actually dipped his talents into the wonderful world of jewelry!

Well – now I do and this guy has knocked me flat on my back with these skull-drop earrings.  Personally, while I know that Halloween is over, I think that these chic little pieces of jewelry are absolutely breathtaking and I believe that every single person should get some!

Alexander McQueen is the Queen of jewelry right now and if he can blow me away with just a pair of earrings and I don’t even have my ears pierced – just wait to see what he has in store later!

2010 Winter Jewelry Trends: Ralph Lauren Alhambra Three Row Multi Bead Necklace!

Oh ladies and gentlemen, it has been quite a while hasn’t it?  Well – I have been on leave but I am back now and I am ever-so-ready to show you some of the best jewelry out there for the wintertime!  Take this necklace – oh, I have to tell you that I am in love with this particular Ralph Lauren necklace.

Do you know how NYC’s Ralph Lauren actually got started?  He began his career by selling ties to his high school classmates and now – he is definitely one of the most respected designers in the world and this piece just proves it!

The dramatic Alhambra Three Row Multi Bead Necklace actually contains a variety of colorful stones, which really sparkle and shimmer when it is whipping snow around outside. 

The necklace is layered with three gold-plated chains and each of them is embellished with sparkling semi-precious faceted gemstones in all different shapes.

You want this thing?  It’s only $128 at Bloomingdales which considering it is a Ralph Lauren, that is not all that bad!

Versace Jewelry — Sparkly, Sizzling … Hot!

If you are a fashionable person … which we all are right?  Then you know all about Versace.  Versace is a brand that is edgy, classic and all around beautiful and that is exactly what comes across in their jewelry.  While I really did not know that Versace dipped their talents into jewelry too until this year, I thought I would show you one of their beautiful pieces!

This ring – topaz and while I am not the biggest fan of topaz rings, I have to say that the combination of white gold, diamonds and topaz is very, very beautiful.  Topaz is a fantastic ocean blue color that I seemed to have fallen in love with and if you look close – the perfectly cut V’s encased in diamonds really makes this Versace ring pop!

You want fashionable jewelry?  Tell me what you want me to write about!  Got a piece you wanna show me?  Shoot me an e-mail and comment, I’d love to see it and write about it!

Janet Deleuse: Colorful, Chic, Sexy!

Are you looking for a little luck?  Well, Janet Deleuse is the designer for you.  Now, to me – this sort of looks like a five leaf clover, which I know is not the ‘lucky’ charm, however I think that this necklace looks pretty damn lucky.  Not only is it done up in 18k yellow, rose and white gold, but it also has some blue in there, also some yellow and pink sapphires and to be honest … it looks breathtakingly beautiful!

This necklace, by Janet Deleuse is about 19 inches long, which is a fantastic length for a necklace in my mind and it has about 4.26 carats of sapphires in there.  The price tag on this beautiful is $20,260.00 … that’s a lot of money but it is so, so worth it!
 
Remember, Janet Deleuse is the designer and she is one heck of a jewelry-maker in my book.

Jessica Simpson: Oh, She Got The Ultimate Gift!

Celebrities are all about the bling and right now – that is exactly what Jessica Simpson is looking for – while she might not have gotten to keep Nick, she definitely did get to get over him via a beautiful, sparkling free diamond ring!  It is very hard to sing the blues after this beautiful ring is placed on your finger by a master jeweler like Pascal Mouawad. 

This jeweler gave Simpson the ring, which is 5 – yes, count them five carats from his Black and White Diamond Collection and if I was Simpson, I would definitely not be giving it up anytime soon!  Pascal is known for his celebrity muses and Simpson seems to be one of them – along with Heidi Klum and Nicole Richie.

If you are looking for some bling though – I think that you should give Pascal Mouawad a jingle and see if you can become his new muse!

Kenneth Jay Lane Beaded Lariat Necklace: It’s Sexy!

Jewelry is something that you need to be able to wear all the time and truly with anything and to me – that is what lariats are all about.  These beautiful necklaces are something that you can just throw on with anything from jeans and a tee shirt all the way to that cocktail dress that you have a very hard time dressing up.  For those of you that do not know exactly what I am talking about, a lariat is actually a necklace – beaded usually that is very long that you can usually double up on your neck.

These long strands of beads can truly dress up any outfit and look amazing on you once you throw them on.  Kenneth Jay Lane is the guy that we are talking about when we mention these particular types of necklaces because he is by far the master of them.  Take this beautiful lariat for example – the beading on it is beautiful and I have to say that it looks great on!

Kenneth Jay Lane is a designer that has been around for a while and while most people do not know his work specifically, they do know his lariats!
