The Sleeping Lion, the world’s largest freshwater pearl. A complete and utter stunner. Please watch the video so you can understand the size perspective (measures approximately 70 by 43 by 39 mm and weighs 118.65 grams).
It went on sale at a public auction in the Netherlands on May 31, with top estimates valuing it at $632,000.

Named because of its shape, we can’t quite determine if it really looks like a sleeping lion, but gorgeous nonetheless.
Diamonds are the star of the show, no doubt. The scene stealer and the debutante of the ball. But when it comes to rarity, there are several other gems that mean (and cost) much more.
Tanzanite is a stunningly blue variety of the mineral zoisite. And its name speaks of its rarity; it is only found in Tanzania. Wait…not just in Tanzania but in a teeny area near the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Discovered in commercial quantities in the 1960’s, its popularity has grown vastly (due to the efforts of Tiffany & Co.).
Most tanzanite found on the market have been heat-treated which increases its blue lustre. But any tanzanite that has a strong blue color without heat treatment is worth a tremendous amount.
And this prestigious gem will only increase in value. Why? Because once the mines in Tanzania have been emptied, there will be no more in existence, unless a new source is found.

The office space possesses its own particular rules when it comes to fashion. Many of these rules are dictated clearly (like via a company handbook) but some are unspoken. (Seriously, “Casual Fridays” have been the topic of many a debate.)
Here are some jewelry wearing pointers we created for the office:
Choose simple, understated jewelry. Don’t wear jewelry that’s too noisy or distracting. Instead opt for pieces that blend and enhance your outfit well.
Stud earrings always work. Don’t wear jewelry that dangles too much or makes noise when you move your head. Stud earrings work with just about any outfit any time. Small hoops are another fitting possibility.
Go for practical jewelry. If you’re on the computer much of the day, moving bracelets are a definite fashion don’t. Forego the bracelet and choose jewelry that won’t interfere with your daily office functions. (A simple watch around the wrist will suffice.)
For Casual Friday? Wear a crown on your head and a Hawaiian lei around your neck. (Just kidding!)

Here’s a quick and easy method to putting on your bracelet alone that will get you out the door in time!
