Happy Stories From our customers

Remember “back in the day” when mixing your metals was akin to wearing white shoes after Labor Day? Well thankfully we’ve busted down those old fashion restraints and made room for the following pieces (seen at the VicenzaOro show, which took place Jan. 18 to 23 in Vicenza, Italy).

From the Onda collection, Vendorafa’s 18-karat hammered yellow gold bracelet features 18-karat white gold stripes with diamonds.

Adami & Martucci’s signature mesh necklace is sterling silver with 24-karat yellow gold plating and 18-karat yellow gold accents ($265).

Fope Gioielli’s 18-karat gold “Wild Rose” rings with diamonds

Nouvelle Bague’s new Urban collection features these bracelets, which are 18-karat gold and steel with colored enamel.

Some of the tech-related jewelry as of late has hardly been fetching. Until now.

As Paul Williamson, Director of Low Power Wireless at CSR, put it, “If wearable technology is to reach its potential it needs to appeal to more than just technology lovers.”

The pendant shown here is a reference design that highlights CSR’s Bluetooth Smart solution, a tiny chip capable of connecting to your smartphone.

The elegant app built into this ring gives you a UV Index and it also covers forecasts for your location so you know when to take sunscreen, shades, and a hat with you. It can also warn you to take a break from the rays when you’ve had enough.

At first glance, it looks like a locket, but it’s a cleverly designed activity tracker in grey, black, topaz, or champagne matte aluminum.

This piece far exceeds any “statement necklace” we’ve seen of late and couldn’t look any better than on the Duchess of Cambridge (on loan from the Queen herself!).

This utterly captivating piece of jewellery was given to the Queen as a wedding gift from Nizam of Hyderabad, then King of a state in India.

Cartier originally crafted the necklace in the  30’s. It originally consisted of a long chain of 46 diamonds (eventually reduced to 36) and a diamond-encrusted snap.

Its centerpiece is pave-set with a detachable double-drop pendant, 13 emerald-cut diamonds and a pear-shaped drop.

Just. Wow.
