In an effort to help raise millions of dollars, Alex Carroll is going to be auctioning off one of the world’s most unique timepieces this upcoming Valentine’s Day. Right now many are expecting this luxurious timepiece, that is estimated to be about 20 million years old titled, “Crown Jewel of the Sea,” to fetch more than the current value record holder for timepieces which sold for $5.7 million almost 13 years ago. This one of kind timepiece is shaped like a heart, and it is in fossilized Bali Star Coral combined with extremely rare naturally heart shaped pieces of the red sea glass.
If that is not enough the piece also is accompanied by a matching gold pendent which is the most flawless piece of naturally heart shaped red sea glass ever found. The starting bid for this piece is going to be at $1 million, but surely there is much anticipation on this piece as some are currently speculating that the winner for this treasured timepiece will be no other than Prince William. No doubt the clock would be a perfect fit in his castle, and of course it wouldn’t hurt that he could give his wife Kate the pendant, and of course the profits would be going to their charity. .... |

It seems that everyone is getting into the festive spirit, even jewellery designers as they have created a truly remarkable limited edition Chinese dragon covered in Swarovski crystals called the Longwang.
The Chinese dragon is said to be a symbol of wisdom, luck, and power.

In an auction that is set to take place later this month, the world’s largest cut emerald weighing an incredible 57,500 carats will be quite the sight to see. The auction is set to take place in British Columbia, Canada. They named the emerald Teodora, which means “gift of god” in Portuguese. The emerald is expected to draw quite the crowd. The emerald was originally found in a mine in Brazil from which it was then sent to India to be cut, after which it has ended its journey in Canada.
It seems this emerald has had quite the week as earlier in the week it was transported to Calgary in order to get an appraisal by a jewel expert. The jewel expert found that the emerald would be worth about CA$1.15 million, but many experts believe that number is very conservative; especially being that it will be sold in an auction format. In fact some experts are calling this precious stone priceless as it is very rare due in large part because of its massive size. Early reports show that the emerald gemstone is attracting buyers from as far as Dubai and other places around the world as well. It will be interesting to see what this “priceless” gemstone does go far when it is auctioned off, and what will happen to it in the future. This stone would make some beautiful gemstone jewellery . .... |

India has started to impose a tax of two percent on cut and polished diamondswhich are imported. This tax is effective immediately. This will not have an impact on the exports since most of the diamonds are cut and polished in India. However, in domestic markets, prices will increase by as much as two percent. Experts in the industry say that there may be some impact on the demand of diamond to start with, but eventually, business will continue as usual.
The vice chairman of Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council said that it is a sign that is welcome. He says that it is good not only for local manufacturers, but also for domestic industry.
A local manufacturer of diamonds said that by imposing the import tax on polished diamonds, it might help to stop round tripping. This is a practice companies try to use to increase turnover by importing and exporting the same diamond. This manufacturer, speaking in anonymity, said that some people were taking advantage of the situation when the government removed the import duty.

It seemed that this year, celebrities were decked out in platinum at the Golden Globe Awards. Natalie Portman and Reese Witherspoon sported stacked platinum bracelets. Jessica Biel and Angelina Jolie wore some stunning diamond stud earrings. Celebrities chose to celebrate the evening wearing platinum jewelry at the Golden Globe Awards.
Platinum was a great choice for celebrities to wear both on the red carpet and during the award show. Platinum is naturally white in color and never fades or changes color. So when diamonds or other gemstones are set in platinum, they look even more brilliant than they do in other precious metals. Platinum makes an ideal metal for jewelry at formal events.
Angelina Jolie was wearing Lorraine Schwartz platinum and diamond stud earrings as well as a diamond and platinum ring, also by Schwartz. The diamond stud earrings were a massive 25 carats, and the diamond ring weighed in at 12 carats. Natalie Portman sparkled in platinum and diamond earrings by Harry Winston as well as 3 platinum diamond bracelets by Harry Winston. She rounded out her diamond jewelry with a pear shaped diamond cluster ring in platinum. Jessica Biel wore an opera length diamond necklace by Tiffany & Co. as well as some round solitaire diamond earrings in platinum. She was there, however, without her engagement ring and without her fiancé, Justin Timberlake.

Have you been recently engaged? Many couples choose to get pictures done to announce their engagements. These photos are usually fairly similar. Now, some couples are choosing to create some unique engagement photos that will set them apart from the engagement photos that their friends have seen before. What are they doing? They are creating engagement photos based on cartoons.
One did an engagement photo shoot based on the animated movie Up. In this animated movie the main characters, Ellie and Carl, were childhood sweethearts. They always dreamed to going to the beautiful Paradise Falls but Ellie dies before they can make the trip. Carl decides that he is going to move his home to Paradise Falls and ties thousands of colourful balloons to his house to float it over there. One couple created an Up themed engagement photo. They took several pictures that each came from different scenes in the cartoon.
Other couples have created photos that come from other cartoons, some more recent than others. One couple created an engagement photo that recreated the memorable scene from Lady and the Tramp when the dogs were eating the same strand of spaghetti. Other couples have recreated Toon Town and Alice in Wonderland (pictured) for some really unique photos, one of which showcases the diamond engagement ring. These couples’ unique ideas will no doubt make for lasting memories to all friends and family who receive the special engagement photos. .... |

Olivier Martinez and Halle Berry are engaged to be wed. However, the Oscar award winning actress claimed that she would never marry again. She married twice before and both marriages ended in bad divorces. Her last relationship was with the father of her daughter and they never got married but did separate. They ended up having a not so nice custody dispute over the now three year old Nahla.
What changed her mind? I guess, only Olivier would be able to answer that question. He proposed to Berry over the holidays using a one of a kind diamond and emerald ring from Gurhan. It must have been some stunning diamond engagement ring to get Berry to change her mind about getting married for the third time.
Olivier and Halle first met on the set of a movie in 2010. Olivier, a Parisian, caught Berry’s eye and they have been dating for some time now. Olivier is an actor who has starred in both French and American movies. He won a Cesar in 1994 as the most promising actor. Previously he was linked to Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Kylie Minogue, and Mira Sorvino. Best wishes to the striking couple!

This year in November, Miranda Kerr walked in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. That show got a lot of buzz because of the bra that Miranda Kerr was wearing. The bra was a $2.5 million dollar Fantasy Treasure Bra. It was studded with diamonds and other stones.
In that same show was another model named Alessandra Ambrosio. She had a secret of her own in the Victoria’s Secret show. The Brazilian beauty told reporters that she got prepared for the show by doing lots of squats. She said that her trainer helped her to focus on the core and glutes- which helped her wear the notoriously heavy angel wings.
She just recently announced that she is four months pregnant. The Victoria’s Secret fashion show was in November so that means she was two months pregnant when she did the show! She revealed that she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to walk in the show because she was pregnant and had gained a few pounds already. She said that to prepare for the show she cut out sugar for ten days and got really serious about exercising.
On November 9th, Alessandro walked the runway for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show and no one knew she was pregnant. Even looking at the picture with this article it is hard to tell. Alessandra looked fantastic wearing her angel wings and jewellery for Victoria’s Secret, even though she was pregnant. .... |

Sophia Kokosalaki has a knack for creating jewellery that is both modern and feminine. Her jewellery also has elements of Greek history that give it a look that is different from what other designers are creating. Her jewellery is as desirable as her dresses which are draped beautifully.
For the third time, Sophia Kokosalaki will be collaborating with a popular Greek goldsmith named Ilias Lalaounis. Her collection that is coming out in 2012 will include chunky cuffs plated in gold and drop earrings which are strikingly noticeable. She is working with Ilias Lalaounis because he is a highly revered goldsmith in Greece. He has gained some notoriety because his jewellery was worn by such classically iconic women like Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie Onassis. She feels that the aesthetic is similar to her own so it was only natural that they do a collaboration.
Kokosalaki says that she always wanted to create jewellery. She says that she is fascinated by being able to create jewellery which has beautiful detail and craftsmanship. She also likes seeing a very chic woman wearing beautiful jewellery. Kokosalaki’s first bridal collection is going to launch in January of 2012 and it looks like 2012 will be a busy year for the designer.

Are you bored with your everyday eye color? You can switch them to another color like brown or blue, or you can go with a diamond contact. These contacts sell for fifteen thousand per pair.
The idea for diamond contacts came from cosmetic dentistry. The wife of an optometrist named Chandrashekhar Chawan had diamonds implanted into her teeth. This spurred him into thinking about other ways that diamonds could be used.
There were almost four thousand pair of diamond contacts made available by Chawan. These contacts are not approved by the FDA, but the creator claims that they are safe and comfortable. They sit six to nine mm away from the eye. For the princely sum of $15,000, you can choose to have your contact’s diamonds set in either white or yellow gold. They are certainly a striking look that are not for those who don’t like standing out.
Bollywood is enjoying the trend in eye-fashion right now. Chawan is hoping that one day these diamonds will replace everyday jewellery. Until that day comes, however, you can continue to enjoy traditional diamond jewelry . .... |

Neil Lane has done it again. He’s designed another spectacular diamond engagement ring for a strikingly beautiful pop star diva. His latest creation was for Jason Trawick to pop the question to the pop star diva, Britney Spears. The celebrity jeweller to the stars stated that Trawick said that Spears was “his everyday princess,” so therefore the vision was completed by the stunning diamond engagement ring that was created just for her. Lane also stated that when he was trying to draw inspiration for the engagement ring out of Trawick all he could respond to him over and over again was how she is his princess.
The ring is created in a perfect platinum setting with a round white diamond that has the look of a crown itself. Lane also placed almost 100 small diamonds around the eternity band as his design was not to go over the top with the ring as Trawick didn’t want to show off too much bling with his engagement ring for Britney. Well it is pretty safe to say that there were definitely some pre-proposal jitters, but everything must have gone well for the guy as now Britney has the ring that is fit for a princess and hopefully a marriage that will end happily ever after. .... |

This may sound like a lot of money to most of us, but $30 million just doesn’t cut it for Sotheby’s. That is the total amount of money they made for the products sold at their latest auction, which was held in New York. A line up of fabulous diamond jewellery pieces was on hand and in full display for all bidders, but it seems that people were looking for something else this holiday season. That might come as a big surprise for most of us out here. Who doesn’t want a new pair of diamond earrings or a stunning diamond necklace this Christmas?
As it goes for Sotheby’s auctions, only about two-thirds of the pieces that they had on hand sold at the December Magnificent Jewels sale. Two pieces of striking diamond jewellery that did not sell were the Light of Golconda and the 22.17 carat intense pink diamond. Of the pieces that did sell is the early 20th century Cartier diamond Sautoir, which is in the picture. This was the property of a famous American family that was involved in politics and publishing. This piece was sold to a private collector from Asia for a mere $1.65 million. For the most part, reports stated that sales the entire evening were a bit sporadic given the magnitude of the event and the diamonds on hand. .... |

Ann Hathaway is officially engaged and she has the ring to prove it. She has been photographed wearing the six carat diamond engagement ring given to her by her fiancé, Adam Shulman. Photographers were eager to snap up lots of pictures of her spending time with her new fiancé in NYC while they were with their dog Esmeralda.
Hathaway’s rep, Steven Huvane, confirmed the news as being true and said that the design of the ring was a collaboration between Kwiat Heritage Jewels and Shulman.

For all of the traditionalists out there, this may not be the most informative post for you, but if you like doing things a little differently then you may want to pay attention. British jewellery brand Dower and Hall have made the perfect engagement ring: an engagement ring for him. If you are thinking about how to get her to put a ring on it, then this might just is the perfect way to give that special lady the hint. We all know how joyous of an occasion it is to watch as a man prepares to propose to a woman, but what if the roles were reversed?
Well, that is what you have here with the proposal engagement ring that has been designed by Dower and Hall. This engagement ring is supposed to keep up with the playful occasion of women asking a man for his hand in marriage during leap years. Remember, this upcoming February is going to be another leap year. The band itself is slightly twisted with the words ‘Marry Me’ engraved on the inside with the date 29.02.12 also engraved on the inside as well. The tradition of woman asking for a man’s hand in marriage goes back to Ireland when St. Patrick set the date for women to ask men to marry them as February 29th due to St. Bridget complaining about women having to wait for the man to propose. If you are more of a traditional type of couple, you can always go for the traditional diamond engagement rings for women. .... |

Last month, the Oppenheimer dynasty left the diamond industry, bringing an end to their decades of involvement as a family. They finally made an agreement to give control of their mining to Anglo American. Along with this news, the trend for diamonds in recent months has been going on a downwards path.
Does this mean a bleak future outlook for diamonds? Hardly. Though the prices of diamonds this year has not been nearly as high as in recent years, diamonds have been one of the top performing commodities. No matter what, people always want beautiful diamond jewellery. The long term outlook of the diamond industry seems to be a positive one.
Petra Diamonds gave a presentation this past week about the worldwide outlook on diamond production. According to the report, the production of diamonds will remain flat until the year 2017. They believe that a large gap between supply and demand will surface. With many of the major diamond mines declining and no major sites being discovered for more than a decade, there may be a scramble for supply of diamonds in the not too distant future. .... |
