Ring watches are not a novelty anymore. The pattern has been done several times before but we do feel that none have been as good as the one attempted in the Digit Watch. This one is aimed to steal the hearts of both men and women alike with such a generous an option of customization that you will be nothing short of being ‘floored’. Manufactured in London, this one is already being celebrated as one that even surpasses brands like Rolex and its much celebrated peers.
So much about the aura of the ring watch, let us tell you what keeps it ticking. An 18 carat white gold ring with an Aquamarine jewel face decorated with 142 diamonds holds the watch complete with a crown that can be manually wound.

We have seen enough of the U.S. flag’s customisation in fancy clothes, stylish cars and even sporty bags; it really is practically everywhere. But something that hasn’t been witnessed before is a jewelry designed in the shapes of various American states. It is Maya Brenner who brings you the option of wearing your home turf around your neck. Well, you can always substitute it with your favorite one too.
So, you get pendants forming the outline of the state made from solid gold (14 carats) and silver, the choice is yours. Also, you have the option of adding a small diamond mount anywhere along the outline. We think it would work wonders if you are lucky to have your native place marked out like that. These pendants are suspended from 16-inch gold chains.

Little would you know this but perhaps the largest Disney fans of the world reside in Japan, children and adults. So much so that this country has a special and orignal Disney theme park based next to the sea called Disney Sea. This one is a different venture from the Disneyland in Tokyo that folks just love visiting too. Well, with the involvement of die-hard grown up fans, you can expect a lot of innovation (and we mean big bucks) in the merchandise sector. For instance, a jewelry store in Osaka that goes by the name of Tanaka Kikinzoku has made a beautiful Snow White in pure gold. Accompanying her are the seven dwarfs who also enjoy being cast in the gorgeous yellow metal.
No wonder, this store is gaining a lot of mileage. It is believed that this little Disney team has a total estimated worth of $335,000. That said, it is not for sale. The makers believe that their favorite Disney Princess and her ‘kawaii’ seven friends are priceless.

Video games might be a luxury for avid gamers but as far as the luxury market is concerned, they are nothing special. Perhaps, someone (a die-hard gamer, maybe) wanted to prove this belief wrong and so decided to cover the Play Station gaming console with gold all over. Yes, referred to as the PS3 slim, this one has been dipped in 24 carat gold. And that is not all for there are controllers that have had their fair share of 24K gold too.
We think this one would possibly be counted among the most expensive video game consoles in the world ever. The credit for it goes to Computer Choppers who have decided to go with a limited edition of only five of these. And because of this very smart marketing strategy, the PS3 Slim has become ever so popular.

We like festivities. First it were the orange pumpkin faces adorning the decorations and now they have given way to the Christmas-sy stuff. It is always exciting to hang that first bauble and if the object in question comes with a $136,000 price tag, then you can actually photograph the event in your memory. Well, a very beautiful bauble made from 18 carat white gold and decorated with one and a half thousand sparkling diamonds is creating a buzz in the luxury markets.
A real treat to the eyes, this spectacular piece will bring a whole new shine to your Christmas with a big hole in your purse, but who cares as long as you can enjoy a festival a bit more than usual. Apparently, diamonds aren’t the only precious stones used atop this one. In fact, there are some 188 red rubies too that shine on the two stunning rings of 18 carat fat gold wire revolving around the bauble.

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.

The world saw its most expensive coin at the recently held auction in Barcelona. Organised by Auero & Calicó, this grand event had a participating coin that is being celebrated as the last one from the 1609 centen coin which is remarkable as the biggest solid gold coin to be ever minted in Spain.
A very rare money, this coin attracted a lot of attention from bidders, onlookers and media alike. Finally, it was sold to a huge bid of $1,202,566. The identity of the lucky bidder has been kept anonymous. We just know him as the bidder no. 74 and that this super rich person came from Europe. In fact, the surprised on his face was quite evident when he saw that absolutely no one challenged his opening bid of 1,202,566.

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. Again, this isn’t bubblegum fashion either for the pendant exudes a classy elegance that the most refined women would like to wear.

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.
