Swarovski Christmas Jewels Collection 2008

As Christmas is approaching, what better sparkling companion of this special holiday than Swarovski. Whether you want to decorate with crystals or give someone special something just as special, Swarovski has it all. The Christmas Jewels Collection for 2008 features many jewels inspired by snowflakes and stars, in silver, gold and clear crystal shades.

This beautiful star hair clip has a shimmering design with Black Diamond, Silver Shade and and clear crystal pavé and it is priced at CAD $105. This would not only make a great gift for someone over the holidays but it is also a beautiful accessory that would give some sparkle against the winter cold weather outside. One of the most beautiful pieces in the collection are the set of gold plated necklace, earrings and bracelet with bezel set clear crystal chatons and antique square cut Moonlight and Silver Shade crystals. The necklace is priced at CAD $220, the earrings at CAD $65, and the bracelet at CAD $260.

If instead you wish to have something even more gentler or are looking for something extra loving to give, heart pendants and swan engraved rings are your choice. The Signature Ring is not only appealing because of its classy shape but it offers something dreamy and magical with the Swanflower(TM) motif gleaming in clear crystal pavé. It is priced at $ CAD120. The mini heart and butterfly pendant is an excellent choice for any occasion. The heart is in faceted clear crystal and butterfly in Light Rose crystal and it is priced at CAD $55. You may also like the Emotion Pendant which is Rhodium-plated with open heart in clear crystal pavé and smaller heart-cut crystal. It is priced at CAD $105.

Louis Vuitton’s Diamond Flower Collection

Louis Vuitton have launched two patented diamond cuts based on their infamous monogram flowers; the round cut flower diamond and the pointed cut flower diamond. These stunning cuts took over three years to develop and have between 61 and 77 facets, which is absolutely amazing as a typical diamond has about 58 facets! The diamond beauties were mixed to create the collection Les Ardentes, which means “the blazing.” The sparkling collection features a bracelet, two brooches, a pair of earrings, a necklace and a ring. The collection is really beautiful and I especially love the bracelet which combines a diamond ribbon as well for the ultimate French romantic elegance.

Swarovski Crystal Christmas!

With Christmas coming very soon, crystal brand Swarovski is creating a a five metre crystal snowflake suspended in London between Harvey Nichols and the Mandarin Oriental. The sparkling snowflake will stay there to light up the streets for five weeks from December the 8th and was designed by leading lighting designer Ingo Maurer. Although the snowflake will be the center of the bright and warm Christmas spirit, it will also be surrounded by trees decorated in the miniature versions of the snowflake on sale at Harrods and Harvey Nichols, with a portion of the profits donated to UNICEF. We can all get a little snowflake of our own and be a part of the donation in this upcoming beautiful Holiday!

World’s Most Expensive Bra by Victoria’s Secret

This exclusive bra made by Victoria’s Secret, and presented by Brazil’s own Adriana Lima costs a sparkling $5 million making it the world’s most expensive bra! The exquisite bra, which looks more like a jewellery piece than lingerie, is adorned with 3,575 black diamonds, 34 rubies, 117 certified one-carat round diamonds, and over 3,900 stunning gems. With all these precious beauties and diamonds, this is no ordinary lingerie. In case, $5 million is just a tad too much for you to spend on lingerie, you can always settle down for the $1,355,000 diamond bra, which comes second on the pricey bra list.

Trend Spring 2009: Huge Earrings!

It is no secret that I love huge jewellery, anything from enormous necklaces, rings, bracelets and of course earrings! So, you can imagine how excited I was that huge earrings are the next major trend for Spring/Summer 2009. Also featured on the British Vogue Loves, these Zac Posen Spring 2009 earrings are a grand highlight! The chandelier style beauties are danggling, huge and a definite show stopper. Whether you chose silver styles, Swarovski sparling crystals or tribal colored stones, do not be afraid to experiment and let your imagination fly just as long as they are large. In fact, the larger, the better! Just remember to pull your hair back either in a French chic ponytail or styled into a quiff like in the Zac Posen fashion show. And of course, do not over-accessorize when you wear these beauties: chose simpler clothes and only one more accessory so that their magic appeal takes center stage.
