Celebrity Jewelry

I’m a huge fan of hoop earrings. They’re the perfect “go to” earrings that always add that certain touch to just about any outfit. When most customers consider us for custom design jewelry, it’s generally for our custom design engagement and wedding rings. But we’re just as happy (and crafty) in our creation of the perfect earrings. Take a look at the ones I stumbled across this morning…just stunning! If they inspire you, contact us and we’ll custom design earrings with a similar look but a personal touch!

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.”

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara was quite the hit of the Golden Globes this week, with her stunning navy blue Vera Wang gown and her purported 5 million dollars worth of jewelry. Our only question? Where? The Harry Winston earrings are worth that much?

Ahh….the bracelets and a ring too…now we’re adding up.

Tali Lennox is daughter of famed singer Annie Lennox, as well as an up and coming model. In this interview, Tali goes through her jewelry box, showcasing some of her favorite pieces as well as a dramatic necklace her mother gave her.

Her mother, donning a glamorous look with an eye-catching necklace:

After the craziness that was Kim Kardashian’s brief and wild media-hyped marriage, many questions arose as to who can legally keep the ring after an engagement (or marriage) gone wrong? Well, it varies from state to state and pre-nup to pre-nup. Interestingly, in Kardashian’s case, without a special clause in the prenup, Kim would have been the owner outright – once they became man and wife, the ring would have been Kim’s.

Engagement rings fall under property, contract or family law, and how they are treated varies by state.

In California, it depends on who broke the engagement. For example, if the person who received the ring is the one who is reneging on the engagement, then that person must relinquish the jewelry. In New York, North Carolina, Minnesota, Tennessee and other states, appellate courts say engagement rings are conditional gifts that must be returned to the gift giver if the condition — namely, the marriage — does not take place, regardless of who broke off the engagement. Kansas and Montana say a gift, once given, cannot be taken back.

Let’s hear it for the celebrities who don’t let age stand in the way of amazing fashion and daring jewelry choices. Nowhere is this better seen than Dame Judi Dench, who continually kicks it up a notch with her bold jewelry and eye-opening fashion statements. Take a look:

As most of you know by now, Elizabeth Edwards passed away after a long battle with cancer.
Elizabeth Edwards 61, wife of John Edwards, the former presidential candidate, was also a best selling author, attorney and a health care advocate. She is the mother of Cate, Jack and Emma Claire.

A few photos of the quiet, sophisticated beauty of Ms. Edwards:

The simple elegance of Elizabeth Edwards

In July 2004, Elizabeth Edwards and her daughter Cate take the stage during the Democratic National Convention in Boston.

Knowing her final hours were imminent, Elizabeth Edwards posted this reflection on her Facebook page:

“You all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces — my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren’t able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It’s called being human. But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful. It isn’t possible to put into words the love and gratitude I feel towards everyone who has and continues to support and inspire me every day. To you I simply say: you know.”

With Prince Williams to soon marry, we decided to take a stroll down memory lane and gaze at some of the beautiful jewelry his mother adorned:

Spencer Tiara

Diamond Teardrop Earrings and Pearl Choker

Gold "D" necklace

This ring has a large oval sapphire surrounded by 14 round diamonds set in 18K white gold. The oval sapphire is NOT 18 carats in size as reported after Kate Middleton received this ring. It is set in 18K white gold which has been misinterpreted as an 18 carat oval sapphire.

Will you look at this ring? It’s a stunner, for sure. High degree of craftsmanship and just plain artistry. It plays a starring role in the upcoming film Sex and the City 2. Let’s hope the ring doesn’t outshine the lead actors – a very distinct possibility!

The five-carat stone by designer Itay Malkin is set in 18 karat white gold with 80 round natural white pave diamonds equaling 0.35 carats. Malkin worked in collaboration with Sarah Jessica Parker and costume designer Patricia Field on the final design of the ring.

The Itay Malkin ring is the only piece of jewelry from the movie that has been held to secrecy due to its importance in the plot, debuting for the first time on the big screen. Itay Malkin will produce the ring in a limited edition series for $10,000, each ring stamped with the limited edition serial number and certificate.

Guess what? You don’t have to be Sarah Jessica Parker to wear a ring of this amazing quality. If a $10,000 ring isn’t quite in your budget, we can create a beautiful replica of this ring for a fraction of the cost, down to the black diamond.
