With Christmas fast approaching, you would already be planning all the cool shopping. After all, Christmas is more about shopping and good food than anything else. You could go ahead and get this Christmas bauble which comes for a mere £82,000. In fact, it is so cheap that it has already been given the status of the world’s most expensive Christmas bauble.

The tree decoration accessory comes with 18 carat white gold and comes with nearly half a thousand diamonds. Your Christmas night is going to be special with the decoration glittering away. You would however have to make sure that your guests do not try to walk away with your expensive decoration when you are busy serving them dinner or when you are cooking in the kitchen.

It also comes with 199 rubies and artisans spent almost a year to get this beauty of a bauble ready. It is not just a piece of jewel and thanks to a high tech microwave bubble, it will sound an alarm if something goes wrong. The alarm comes in the form of smoke so that no thief can ever steal it. However, I would spend on gorgeous clothes instead of spending money on a lame bauble.

Christophe Golay is an amazing Swiss watchmaker who believes in the integrity of the design and chicness which is rarely seen by others. These high-end watches can be afforded by few but those who do join the ranks of the world’s elite. He has just unveiled a $350,000 watch by Cephee. The first watch under the Cephee series is called Ether, and it looks amazingly cool with about 150 baguette diamonds.

It even allows each of the diamond to reflect its own light making it one of the most advanced watches ever, with high-engineering platforms. The hands are placed on a chic sapphire and the straps are made of the softest leather possible. The Cephee watches are some of the best in the world and I am sure you would love to get one for yourself if you can afford a watch like that.

The Ether can be worn for evening parties and expensive dos where people are always checking what the person is wearing. The luminosity and the excellence of this watch almost makes it a piece of jewellery that can be worn by the likes of royals and Hollywood stars.

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 are told that it took almost a year to develop, design and manufacture this unique bauble. And all the credit for it must go to 38 year old Mar Hussey, who is the owner of Hallmark Jewelers, for conceptualising this ultra-luxe item.

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.

You can choose from black chokers made in leather, silver, knotted silk or stingray leather. These usually sport real sexy pendants shaped after an anchor, a cross, a skull or just highlight a single pearl. Matching bracelets made from black knotted silk adorned with brilliant cut diamonds and Fiji cultured pearlsare available too.

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.

We like the clean lines of this piece of art jewelry. Nahum has very clevery endowed this one with a series of color. One ball is in the color black with hints of gray, one is silver with hints of black while the third ball is in a clear shade of silver. A must have but yes, go with a loaded purse when shopping for this one.

Supported by that logic, the stunning new Vicomte Watch Pendant Necklace aspires to be a huge hit with the fashion conscious with a few extra bucks to spare. Coming from the house of Van Cleef & Arpels Les Jardins, this rather unique necklace is part of a 140 piece collection.

We are told that the jewelry designers  in the workshop were influenced by English, French and Asian gardens, the fountains of the Château Vaux-le-Vicomte included. The Vicomte Watch Pendant Necklace has a manual winding case that is lined with baguette diamonds that will impress you with their pure sparkles.

The exquisite pendant set in sapphire is well complemented with a fountain pattern made from pear-cut diamonds that stem out to give the illusion of sprays. The base holds a mother of pearl dial that looks like another bubbling fountain. You want our advice? Go for it!
