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.

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.

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.

You can trust Swarovski to go to any magnanimous lengths to come up with anything you can imagine, in its crystals.
After a line of interesting products for its 20th anniversary, the brand has unveiled, not a clutch purse or shoes, but a Corsage in Swarovski crystals. The figure hugging garment has been a rage ever since Sex and The City star Sarah Jessica Parker adorned it.
For those with that money to splash around, this one may be the ultimate wanna-grab thing around. The difference now though is that it looks stunning with the crystals avatar by Ukrainian designer Verlingieri Lesya. The new label she has created it for is by Lever couture. The designer is 26 years young and got her degree at Modedesigerin, in mid-2007. The young designer is known to create exquisite design and processes with high-quality material such as Jacob Swarovski Schlepfer substances. Her effort in detail shows in this material.
The strapless Swarovski studded corsage is enhanced with 41,000 Swarovski crystals for that grand appearance. It costs $10,000, which makes it perhaps the most expensive of such pieces in the world.

It’s a rather regular phenomenon for brand Gerlad Genta to blow their customers away with their collections of super-stylish watches. But their newest offering Arena Metasonic is even more. One look at it and you will realise the many years they must have spent developing this concept. This timepiece is symbolic for holding the company’s obessession with giving their watches a musical twist. We have seen some that repeat time at your command and even those that chime at regular intervals. If we hear correct, you get both and some more in the Arena Metasonic watch.
The frame is 46mm wide and has been made in titanium as well as other special metal alloys to achieve a superior sound quality. The case indeed must have taken a long time to design what with the highly stylized construction that includes technical looking pushers and levers. Even the manually wound movement is very complex since it can be seen through the dial and caseback right behind the sapphire crystals. You can see the cute little hammers too that beat playfully when the sonnerie is activated. We have a sneaky feeling that you might need to wind this watch quite often.

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.
