The recession might have activated a slowdown in the designer watches market but it could not do anything to dampen the spirits of Christophe Golay. Well, this brand believes that there will always be buyers for ultra-luxury items whether financial hard times or not. In fact, it was with this optimism that it just launched a $350,000 worth super-end timepiece in the U.S markets.
This new range of real stylish and rather extravagant watches comes from Cephee (that’s the name of the product line) and display the finest of Swiss craftsmanship and technology. Among the first ones to be introduced under the new Cephee tag, the watch is called ‘Ether’.

Lately we have seen that jewelry has gradually found its way into the male closet too. But so far, it were the golds, silvers and platinums only with maybe some diamonds to go with. However, male model and reality TV star Marcus Schenkenberg is trying to change things a little. Well, he perhaps is among the first one to come up with a line of pearl jewelry targeted at the metrosexual men out there. This little endeavour (and perhaps, among the first ever) of his has come from his partnership with a German pearl specialist.
Sold under YOU ROCK by Marcus Schenkenberg, this collection has several spectacular pieces in black-silver combinations that have been designed by Mayk Holländer though we would have liked to see Marcus try his hand at it too. Holländer has made use of black brilliant-cut diamonds and highlighted those with vividly colored Fiji cultured pearls.

We have said it so many times and we do not shy away from saying it again that ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’. This is no exaggeration when brands and creations like the Bagues Boule ring are anything to go by. This $16,620 worth ring comes from the workshop of none other than the immensly talented jewelry designer Edouard Nahum. As for the diamonds, you can see several of them in shades of both black and white, all mounted very artisticaly on the white gold ring. We are told that the total worth of the precious ices used to make this ring equal 8.24 carats in total.
The triple ball design of the Bagues Boule ring is very stylish. In fact, it is apt enough to be worn at all your high profile dos. Trust us when we say that all the ladies will be in a state of admiration mixed with a dose of envy.

Choosing between diamonds and chocolates is a real toughie. So how about putting the two together and save oneself from making the heart-wrenching decision. Hershey’s (Perhaps one of the most loved brands) has decided to make things a tad easier for the diamond loving chocoholic women. Come to the Hershey’s Kiss Jewelry Preview and Cocktail Party and you will know just what we are talking about.
From what we hear, the famous Hershey’s Kisses chocolates have been diamond-ised in their sterling silver and white gold avatars. So for a change, you would really want to wear it than eat it.

The Motorola Aura has been on the top of the news for a whole bagful of reasons. We heard about the grand presentation by none other than David Beckham and then there was Amosu waving it’s bling-y wand on the mobile to create some cheezy but luxe versions for the same. And this time, it is the Diamond Edition of the phone that is making heads turn. Designed with the sole motivation to outshine every other phone in the league, this one is a sight to behold with its 18 carat goldplating.
Not just that, some 34 sparkling diamons line the circular display of the phone (something like what Amosu did but we prefer the new pattern a wee bit more). The mobile phone is a real show stopper.
