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.

People have always been fascinated by insects much as they hate them. Most of us dread the thought of walking into a hornet’s nest or even the slightest presence of a mosquito can rustle up our primeval fear of insects which is quite evolutionary in nature. Chinookhugs at Etsy has designed some amazing insect inspired jewelry which are made from solid 18 carat gold and brilliant diamonds.
These insect jewellery are reminiscent of art movements such as art nouveau, retro and are quite steampunk and gothic in nature. The 18 carat Gold moth comes with 8 diamonds and very old amber from the prehistoric times, which makes the jewellery far more attractive than regular and boring jewellery you might find in ritzy places like Paris or London. Platinum Beetles, Gold Insects, moths etc are made of rubies, diamonds, blue diamonds and sapphires.

We like festivities. First it were the orange pumpkin faces adorning the decorations and now they have given way to the Christmas-sy stuff.

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.
