Even Barbie is Wearing REAL Diamonds!

     Okay, I saw this article and basically just re-posted it. Barbie is dripping in diamonds. We love this!!!!!!
     The Barbie diamond jewelry is created by Stefano Canturi, an Australian designer of Italian heritage. His diamond design for the barbie is describe as “an openwork variously-cut diamond collar necklace, centering upon a cut-cornered modified square-cut fancy vivid purplish pink diamond (approximately of 1.00 carat) and a diamond ring , a perfect matched between strapless black gown with a one-carat square cut pink diamond choker”.

       The Barbie diamonds jewelry is the real diamond if you don’t notice it. It was designed to celebrate the iconic Barbie doll, whose popularity has grow over years. This special Barbie is not only for the girls, but it is actually design for the grown up womenfolk, who are still in love with the Barbie dolls. With the real jewelry on, the auctioned for this Barbie is definitely high in price and also for the unique of this Barbie in the market. With the diamond value on the Barbie, the price is reached at $302,500 for the auction held in New York last week.

      An interesting thing about this auction is that the money from the auction will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the funds would be utilized to help the cancer patients as well as their families. This great Barbie model is not just only a mere doll, but it also represented people feeling about the cancer patients. This way adds a little more charm to this special doll.

      For this Barbie diamond jewelry design, Stefano Canturi need to search back into Barbie history to find inspiration for this design. The special design is always part of Hollywood history as well as the American culture. Canturi was invited by Mattel to create this iconic Barbie and he was done a great job for this special design.

      The Barbie, is not only for little girls now. With her beautiful outfits and elegant accessories, she has join in many events for the grown up girls and some women. You can see from the present of beautiful collections of silhouette Barbie head necklaces, mainly target to the grown up. These collections were designed by Layna and Allan Friedman. The necklaces collections in classic sterling silver in white, rose and yellow gold with a ponytail Barbie are also available for anyone who wants to have Barbie necklaces in her own collections. Another collection is the Luxe version with Pave set diamonds Barbie which anyone who love the Barbie can go for any collection that suit them the most.

Gem Therapy? Really?

       Really. Okay, so one of my clients today was telling me a little about "gem therapy." Don't get me wrong, I'll believe in what works, but I had to my research on her claim to it's ''100%' pure healing properties. " Gemstone therapy is based on the theory that certain stones possess specific healing energies. Physical and emotional problems can block the body's energy center, resulting in illness of some kind. Theoretically, when a gemstone comes into contact with the body, its energy is released and transferred to the person. My client urged me to use gemstone therapy to unblock negative energy or heal the body and gemstone meditation to heal the spirit.   As a wise woman once said "Yeah, diamonds do that for me. " 

I did, however, find a list of the intended aids to what ails you.

• Ruby: Liver, spleen, gallbladder, and pancreas. For stopping bleeding powdered paste is used. If worn, it is believed to maintain the hygiene of your mental health.
• Opal: For improving memory and for healthy brain
• Turquoise: Eye ailments, headaches, fever
• Emerald: Eye ailments, antidote for any insect or reptile poison, sores and wounds
• Amethyst: Insomnia, tension, headaches used for spiritual upliftment
• Diamond: Gastritis, cardiac ailments, blood circulation problems
• Topaz: ENT related diseases, epilepsy, insomnia, asthma, lung, catarrh and many gynecological ailments
• Pearl: For mental hygiene
• Moonstone: Illness related to the mind, epilepsy, fever

A Literal Diamond in the Rough

            It's nearly 2013, and everyone's environmental awareness is peaking. There are desingers who have combined thier love for fashion with creative talents and created a whole new genre of jewelry. Earth is the echoed inspiration for each hand-crafted piece.  I see many diamonds daily but this marries classic modern design with natural, organic elements. Many of these "natural or rough" pieces I find stunning.
          The jewelry still has the fine art and design of traditionally cut stones but also link traditionals jewelry methods with a modern aesthetic, using fine recycled metals, and conflict-free gemstones and diamonds in each piece.These deisgners are takings risks with thier designs, but take pride in the continual growth and development of the way our generation views diamonds. Personally. I love it! You??      

We Lost MCA today, Beastie Boy would loved gold.

         The world lost MCA today, Adam Yauch today, one of the founding member of the Beasie Boys. Here in NY, they are close to our hearts. The Beastie Boys may not be recognized as fashion pioneers like Run-DMC, but they clearly made a unique imprint in the eighties with their signature style. Respectful of cultural influences, the ironic rebels blended classics like gold chains and Adidas trainers with tapered jeans, leather jackets, button-downs, and even polos. Perhaps more significantly, the Beastie Boys are credited with reviving hip-hop style in the nineties. Visionaries and some even dubbed them 'genuis' they were ahead of their time and still get club play.  However, they rocked the Dookie chain whic has made it's come back, some thirty years later.

Even Kristen Stewart Likes Spoon Rings World!!!

                   Now, I'm not a twilight fan per say but one thing I do know is that Kristen Stewart broke fashion "rules" on more than one occasion. She can pull-off casual by donning her signature worn-in Vans and stunning dresses straight from the runway. She mixes and matches her tomboy and glam-inspired looks without hesitation because she’s never been afraid of showcasing her brand of style. This includes her unique accessory choices.

               Kristen and I do have one thing is common. WE LOVE SPOON RINGS!! One of Kristen’s favorite pieces are her different spoon rings. I first noticed her wearing it on Conan O'Brien. Then I began to look for it everytime I saw her on something :) She went from Twilight screenings, to all over her hometown of Los Angeles. The antique feel of this ring makes it her go-to piece for both casual and formal occasions. Check it out!

What Are Chocolate Diamonds Anyway?

            Ever heard someone say what are chocolate diamonds? Diamonds have such a lot of different names. Earlier it was so much easier when it was just the white diamonds. Today, there are numerous other shades like pink, blue, black, red and even brown. Until recently diamonds which are colored and have other hues apart from the usual were considered to be low color diamonds. These were considered to be of lower grade than the white diamonds which are bright and shiny. It was only then that the market slowly began to accept colored diamonds and even started seeking them out. While they are of a lower cost than white diamonds, they are definitely a hot seller.
             That was how these chocolate diamonds or brown diamonds came into the market and began to be sold in larger numbers. These occur in some low grade mines and customers who usually don’t give a second look at the colored ones began to hunt for the cognac diamonds as they are also known. It is interesting to mix these colored diamonds with white diamonds around them or at the center. It gives a very elegant look and is seen a lot in jewelry designs all over the world. If you have chocolate diamonds on cufflinks and pendants with other colored diamonds around them, you will have very interesting jewelry.

            Many people find having a chocolate diamond surrounded by other white diamonds to be a very classy and fashionable choice in jewelry. These are mined from Russia, Australia and Africa. The naturally occurring varieties are most sought after followed by others that are treated to obtain an even brown color. How the diamonds get the color is simple. Due to years of being buried deep under the earth, a lot of extreme pressure is there on these diamonds which over time changes color to acquire a brownish hue. It was the Le Vian jewelry that came up with the name chocolate diamonds.
              While purchasing diamonds, always opt for a reputed jeweler renowned for credibility. Chocolate diamonds are also made from low grade diamonds which have been treated to radiation. If you buy these you will not have any resale value and unscrupulous jewelers will try to sell them as naturally occurring ones at exorbitant prices. Also take a certificate of authenticity from the jeweler that you go to so that you know you are paying for something truly worth the money. Know what you are investing in, so that you do not get deceived when you buy your colored diamonds. Knowing the diamonds chocolate jewelry will help you avoid such mistakes.

Celebrities LOVE Cartier's Love Bracelets... Est. 1969

                                            Everyone loves Cartier & Everyone Loves Love.

        

         So, perfect match. Simplicity and beauty. The love bracelet (styled L⊝Ve, with the horizontal line inside the letter "O" alluding to the bracelet's locking mechanism) is a famous piece of jewelry designed in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo for the French jeweler Cartier SA. The bracelet quickly became popular for its provocative, and from what I've read, intentional resemblence to a chastity belt!  Cartier (as of 2009) continues to make the bracelets, and has since created other products based on the original bracelet's design, including cufflinks, rings, necklaces and watches, expanding the design into the jewelry line. 

      

Unlike traditional bracelets, which are either wide enough to slip them over the hand onto the wrist or can readily be opened in order to put them on, the Love bracelet is designed to be opened only using a special screwdriver that is supplied with every bracelet. The screwdriver is also available in the form of a necklace, allowing the bracelet to be "locked" onto one person while the "key" is kept around the neck of another as a symbol for their commitment to their relationship. The screwdriver does not act as a secure key, however.  The Love bracelet can actually be opened with any standard slotted screwdriver. In addition, ten percent of sales go towards various charities.  Over the past three years, Cartier has donated more than $4.5 million to 24 global charities from the sales of its Love Charity bracelet, which many celebrities have chosen to endorse.

   Check out these celebs rockin the Cartier Love Bracelet & Cartier Love Charity bracelet.

Kourtney twitpic'd this months ago, over a dinner plate, I just don't know Kourtney but she can pull off almost anything. So, it works. :)

Even Mother Monster, Lady GaGa rocks is seen wearing the Cartier Love bracelet, not just for it's beauty but in tandum with it's meaning.

Eva Mendes has been the face behind the Cartier Love Charity bracelet. She is seen here at the premiere event but has continues to strive in the awareness of the mission.

                                                    How gorgeous, romantic and timeless is this piece??

Superbowl Sunday & that Highly Coveted Superbowl Ring.

                                Superbowl Sunday & the Highly Coveted Ring

            Since all of our locations hail in NY, it is only right to picture the Giants ring today. Is it ironic or amazing that in what is America’s toughest, most macho sport, when you win the big game, you get a piece of jewelry, the famed Super Bowl Ring? No trophy, no medal, but a ring. I like this idea, something to the players can see and wear for their whole lives. This tradition has been handed down all the way from the first Superbowl, won by the Green Bay Packers back in 1966. I've done my research :)  You can see all the rings from this nice page ESPN has.

            We all wish you a happy and healthy weekend and to appreciate the craftmenship that goes into the ring involved. GO GIANTS!!!!

You don't always need Karats to feed your love of jewelry...

                             You don't always need Karats to feed your love of Jewelry...

                                                                 Modern Jewelry is all jewelry that would look modern or contemporary about them. We all know that good jewelry was expensive but we never thought about showing just how much it's worth to the world! Well, as a fan of all things recycled and modern, I read about Tine De Ruysser is a professional jewelry designer who studied in different art universities.  

        She takes paper currency from all over the world, including China, USA, Australia, Europe, South Africa, Argentina, and turns them into amazing and wearable works of art. Notice the precise and detailed way she makes chains and weaves. It's all quite fascinating! I'm obsessed!  

    As a photography buff I also recently learned of re:vision.  It  brings old school cameras into an entirely new focus. Camera lenses recycled in South Australia by Craig Arnold, and now, sterling silver pieces modelled on the real thing. Each recycled cuff is custom made and one of a kind, no one else will have the same piece as you. Now, can you day that about most gold jewelry? 

Now, to the acrylics, which personally a lot of my friends adore and wear regularly. Some women don't like the heaviness or the look of a diamond, or aren't even engaged. This is a fun option for everyone. You don’t need to plan a diamond heist, these pieces are way more affordable and a lot more fun! If you’re big on symbols but light on status-obsession then wear one of these to make your statement!

Drew Barrymore's ring!!

     

          Drew Barrymore and her fiance Drew Kopelman  got engaged!!!  I love Drew as an actress and she's quite adorable.  I’m happy for them, but I’m actually congratulating them on their ring choice, more so.   It is a unique, lovely setting and a simply perfect diamond color and cut. Drew’s engagement ring features a colorless (D color) radiant-cut diamond that is just under 4 carats on a diamond-covered band. Want to learn about the look and the diamond? I had to!!! Here, take a closer look....

      Drew's ring is radiant cut, which you can see is rare, special and beautiful.  For maximum brilliance and a optimum diamond fire, a precise cut is crucial for a radiant diamond shape.   The perfection of the cut, and the talent of the diamond cutter creates the heavy reflection and refraction within the stone.   An improperly cut diamond will have a lower value and less brilliant appearance that dampens the effect of its unusual.
       The modern radiant shape was perfected by Henry Grossbard in 1977 when he successfully blended the geometry of emerald cut with the brilliance of the classic round diamond. A radiant cut is, basically, a hybrid stone that is generally square or rectangular but with slightly cropped corners that contribute to its eye-catching sparkle.  Drew’s diamond is also set in a lovely ring. If you have the means, custom-making a ring like this would be the way to go!

What Does the Price of Gold Tell Us Historically?

                                
      What Does the Price of Gold, Silver &           Platinum tell us Historically?

Was gold struck down by lightning? After hitting a new high of $1921 per troy oz. the price of gold retreated in the face of some heavy selling which very briefly brought it down below $1800. Spot gold is now trading $1,581 per troy ounce as you can see on http://www.kitco.com/ daily. Following that, the silver price hit a low at $26.3 – though both metals have staged a decent rally since then.

                      Although the gold price is still up by 10.22% this year, the silver price is currently down 8.21% for the year. Platinum have failed worse, goign down by 20.35%. Simply put: gold is a safe-haven metal in a way that the other precious metals are not. All are safe havens to the extent that they represent tangible assets with unique properties and industrial utility – in contrast to currency or bonds – but as economic fears have grown over the course of the second half of the year, industrial utility has been the last thing on investors’ minds. Below, I've included the closing gold prices as we approach this new year.
                   

                More importantly, anyone who understands that gold is money can see why demand for it, by definition, rises during deflations.Whether we see ‘70s style inflation, ‘30s style deflation or a more extreme cases in our future, gold is STILL the best insurance. The price of gold rose in all those scenarios. As long as real interest rates remain negative, the opportunity cost of saving in gold is zero. Sell your gold while you can, get the highest rates while they are still fluctuating. Holding on to your gold, silver, or platinum ensures nothing. It is a seller's market.

The Truth of GIA vs. EGL Certification, all the differences involved.

                           

                       The Truth of GIA vs. EGL Certification

Before purchasing a diamond, it is important to ensure it has been certified by a credible gemological organization. Both the Gemological Institute of America and the European Gemological Laboratory are credible organizations known worldwide for grading and certifying diamonds. Both organizations offer similar diamond certification reports; however, there are a few differences between the organizations when it comes to diamond value and grading standards. Both GIA and EGL are very reliable independent diamond grading laboratories. They both employ leading gemologist and use the highest technologies to grade diamonds. Both set industry standards and are well respected.  Both GIA and EGL do not make diamonds, rather diamonds are sent to them to get a completely independent and objective diamond grading report.

The GIA in a non-profit institute, established in 1931. The purpose of the GIA is to protect purchasers of gemstones through education and research and determine the quality of diamonds through certification. The GIA is an international organization with world headquarters located in Carlsbad, California.

The EGL is an international company that also focuses on gemstone certification, education and research. The company is privately owned and was originally founded as part of an international network in Europe in 1974. The EGL USA division was founded in 1977 with locations in New York, California and Canada.

The GIA diamond report grades shape, measurements, weight, depth percentage, table percentage, girdle thickness, cutlet size, polish, symmetry, clarity grade, color grade, fluorescence, internal and external inclusions and adds comments about the diamond.  The EGL diamond report offers a more detailed report grading all of the above, plus the crown angle and pavilion angle of a diamond.

The EGL is regarded by some jewelers as offering more lenient grading standards, while the GIA is regarded as offering more strict grading standards when reporting the quality of diamonds. In other words, while the GIA tends to give borderline diamonds lower grades, the EGL tends to give borderline diamonds higher grades.

Both buyers and jewelers consider the EGL to have less strict grading standards than the GIA. Diamonds graded by the EGL are typically valued somewhat lower than diamonds graded by the GIA and can usually be purchased at a lower cost. For instance, a diamond with an EGL certification that has the same exact clarity, cut and color as a diamond with a GIA certification, will typically be less expensive.

I will say one final thing though, you will never find an EGL certified diamond that sells for the same price as a GIA certified diamond if they are the same color and clarity, the EGL will always be less. On the other hand, you will find plenty of EGL certified diamonds that are graded just as accurately as the same GIA certified diamond for much less money. You just have to do your homework and trust in a professional buyer or jeweler to help you make healthy assumptions. The choice is yours!

Round Brilliant, Timeless...

          


       Round Brilliant cut diamonds, often called ‘Round diamonds’, or ‘Tolkowsky’s cut’, are the most expensive cuts, and with good reason. They are what is called an ‘Ideal cut’. Cutting an unpolished stone into any other shape usually allows more carat weight to be retained, but the Round Brilliant cut is designed to reflect almost all the light that touches it.
    
     Besides, it takes a diamond cutter 4 to 5 times as long to cut a Round diamond to ideal proportions for the highest polish and symmetry ratings than it does to cut a diamond to average cut parameters.
Even though Round Brilliant cut diamonds are the most expensive in the market, they make up the overwhelming majority of diamonds found in engagement rings, and are popular as stud earrings and in pendants. Today, these loose diamonds account for more than 75% of all diamonds sold.


         The Round Brilliant cut is designed to maximize the brilliance of the diamond, making the stone appear to sparkle and dance in the light. It has traditionally been the choice for engagement and wedding rings, and is ideal for today’s popular vintage settings.

Useful tips

• The Round Brilliant cut is the most versatile of all the diamond shapes because it can be used in several types of jewelry and in countless styles. The round shape complements almost every design or setting, from classic solitaires to the most avant-garde designs.



• Apart from individual stones, the Round Brilliant cut is highly popular as a center stone and as side stones in both modern and vintage jewelry.



• If your Round Brilliant diamond has an Ideal cut or a Very Good cut, the setting should not be strong, but minimal, so that most of the diamond is exposed to the light.

      Round Brilliant cuts can be set into four or six prongs, based on the design of the setting, or into a bezel mounting, which is a metal band that runs around the edge of the diamond to hold it securely in the setting.

 Wash Your Car & Sell Your Gold?

       

     From barber shops, to church halls, home parties to craft fairs, and even store fronts that have popped up in neighborhoods across the island, seemingly overnight—it’s hard to miss the signs all around you. As the value of gold has sky-rocketed, so too has the number of people looking to buy gold and take advantage of those looking to cash in. Everywhere it seems there are places where you can bring your unwanted jewelry and walk away with money in your pocket. But beware, because what you can get in convenience can leave you less-the-richer in terms of the payment on the value of your gold.

      When looking to sell your gold, it is important to get it evaluated by a professional jewelry buyer. It may seem like an easy transaction, but there are factors involved when appraising jewelry that goes beyond just its weight in gold:

1. A professional buyer as ours has their reputation at stake. Look for a buying company that has been around for a number of years who will pay better because your repeat business is important to them. We are a family run business who has been feautured on CNN, NBC, Newsday & The New York Post.
2. Gold prices fluctuate day-by-day. A professional buyer will know today’s value.
3. In addition to simply weighing your gold, reputable buyers such as us, will be able to identify its karat, or level of purity .
4. A reputable buyer can explain how your gold is weighed, and how you will be paid (dollar amount per gram, troy ounce or pennyweight).
5. If your piece is an antique, vintage jewelry or from a famous maker such as Tiffany, a professional buyer will take that into consideration and pay you what its worth, not just by weight.

       If you’d like cash in your pocket, now is a great time to sell the gold you can part with. Make sure you get the price you deserve by doing your homework and dealing with a buyer who has earned your trust. When you know that your gold was evaluated by a reputable buyer what is TRULY worth (and not just thrown on a scale by a non-professional looking to cash in) you’ll walk away with confidence that you haven’t been taken advantage of. More importantly, you’ll walk away with more money for your gold.

Antique, Estate & Vintage? What are the differences?

      In jewelry terms, estate, vintage and antique jewelry have similar meanings but the differences can greatly influence the value of the jewelry pieces. If you own something that was also previously owned, specifically pieces of jewelry, it’s important to know the differences.

             Although estate jewelry connotes a piece that has been passed down from generations passed, it refers to any piece of jewelry that was previously owned, regardless of its age. It can be broken down into two types, vintage jewelry (less than 100 years) and antique jewelry (more than 100 years old.)

            Vintage jewelry is jewelry that was created up to the point it is considered an antique. Today, vintage generally means a piece that was made after the 1920’s and includes the “Retro Era” the glamorous, Hollywood-inspired 1940’s jewelry, the Jacqueline Kennedy inspired 60’s jewelry, and even the dramatic and bold jewelry of the1980’s.

              According to government guidelines, antiques are items that are at least 100 years old. Popular jewelry created in historic eras that are still commonly found in the U.S. through estate sales generally being in the rare Georgian Era (1714-1837), in which every piece was hand-crafted and therefore very valuable. The Victorian years provided jewelry fashion with three distinct eras that include Early Romantic Victorian (1837-1850), Grand Mid-Victorian (1860-1880) and Late Aesthetic Victorian (1885-1990). The simplified jewelry of the Arts & Crafts Movement (1894-1923) was a hand-made jewelry artisan’s rebellion to the Industrial Revolution, while at the same time Art Nouveau Jewelry (1895-1915) was popularized by the famous French jeweler LaLique. Edwardian Era-jewelry, named after Queen Victoria’s son, Edward was popular during 1901-1910, followed by the visually forward Art Deco Style (1920-1935.)

Since the cost of buying estate jewelry often costs much less than its original price when it was new, it can be an excellent choice if you’re considering buying gold and diamonds as investments. Also a great way to make money as you want to see. The most valuable pieces will be those fine jewelry pieces that are considered antiques and are still in excellent condition.
