  • The Forever Fashionable David Bowie

    Waking up was no easy feat today. Cold, January days can have that effect, but to make matters worse, news of David Bowie’s death hit the newswire.

    Why is he worth mention in our jewelry blog? Because what other rock star epitomized style the way David Bowie did? He brought class (and just the right level of weirdness) to rock and roll.

  • The Ravishing Jewelry of Ava Gardner

    We’ve focused on several celebrities and their bevvy of jewels over the years, but Ava Gardner often gets overlooked–though she has a whole museum dedicated to her collection! (The museum includes some of her most fabulous outfits as well.)

    Here are a few photo highlights of her beauty and her jewelry.

     

    She may have tied the knot with Frank Sinatra much later, but Tycoon husband Howard Hughes must be credited for the expensive jewels

    stocked in Ava Gardner’s jewellery box. One of Hollywood’s biggest stars from the 1940s to 50s, Ava was known for her luxurious sense of

    style and more importantly her elegant diamonds and sapphires.

  • A Dazzling Glove Suited for the Queen of Pop

    Madonna has worn fingerless gloves over the years. And throngs of Madonna-wannabes emulating this pop goddess followed in her footsteps (or handsteps?).

    But this glove that Madonna donned for the premiere of her new ocumentary, takes the cake. Read on.

    The dazzling glove was created by New York City–based luxury fine jewelry and watch brand Jacob & Co.

    The one-of-a-kind Diamond Mesh Glove, which is part of a larger collection of one-off pieces called Rare Touch, was inspired by “a woman who is truly unique,” says designer Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co. “Madonna certainly exemplifies this kind of woman—a woman with great style who isn’t afraid to take risks. I am thrilled to have her be the first person to wear [it].”

  • A Closer Look at Jennifer Aniston’s Whopping Engagement Ring

    At first glance,  Aniston’s stunning engagement ring from actor/director Justin Theroux seemed a bit on the…well, too large! Aniston had always come across to me as a simple gal who didn’t need to don such over-the-top pieces.

    But perhaps that is just how Hollywood rolls…big.

    Here’s the breakdown of the ring…and remember, if you like this ring, or aspects of this ring, we can custom design a larger-than-life piece especially made for the star in you.

    Set on the best quality platinum band the diamond is rumoured to be a whopping 8 carats. Due to the flat table top nature of the emerald cut, the diamond is said to be of the highest quality with no inclusions or flaws.

  • Kate Beckinsale’s Ring and Our Take on It

    Kate Beckinsale wears three rings on her wedding finger to signify her family: herself, husband Len Wiseman and daughter Lily. "It's a cunning way of getting more ice if I have any more children," she told PEOPLE. "It's completely calculated."

     

    When Kate Beckinsale donned these engagement rings, the bridal world went wild. The horizontal setting, the delicate craftsmanship, the simplicity and romance of it…brides wanted rings just like those precious stackable bands.

    Well, one of our clients wanted rings reminiscent of Kate’s, with her own personal touches. Here’s what we presented to her:

     

    The keystone setting from east to west is such a unique element that it sets this ring apart from similar pave designs. The stack bands are perfect for mixing, matching and creating extra sparkle.

  • Cybil Shepherd Set to Marry Psychologist (and Jeweler!)

    Reading this over coffee today, I couldn’t help but see how someone with a jewelry background could make the move into the world of psychology. We are our own kind of psychologists. Jewelers don’t just make a product; we create jewelry based on our client’s deepest dreams and wishes surrounding love. You couldn’t ask for a bigger psychological connection than that!

    I couldn’t find an image of Cybil’s ring yet but wanted to share this interesting “love found again” story:

    CYBILL SHEPHERD will become a therapist’s bride when she’s done playing a politician’s wife. “I’m engaged,” the 62-year-old actress, who is starring in “The Best Man” on Broadway, exclusively told the News’ theater critic Joe Dziemianowicz. “He was a jeweler. Now, he’s a psychologist. He’s Serbian.”

    Shepard’s “he” is Andrei Nikolajevic, who still knows his gems, judging by the gorgeous sparkler set in white gold on her left hand. But she said no one has questioned her new jewelry as of yet. “It’s not my job to tell them,” she says. Shepherd, whose ex-husbands include David Ford and Bruce Oppenheim, adds Nikolajevic popped the question a couple weeks ago here in NYC. “It was very romantic and on one knee,” she says of her fiancé, whom she met through friends. “I never thought I’d get married again.”
