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.

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.

Christmas is fast approaching and it is time to get ready for those lavish parties. Now talking about lavishness, the word can be done justice without bring gold, silver and other precious metal into picture. Thus, Orogourmet is offering edible gold and silver sheets and also gold and silver salt.
You could use this to decorate your champagne by adding golden dust. If you have desserts, why not decorate it with some golden sheets which could be eaten along with your sweets? You could also ad golden sheets and gold dust to chocolates. If this does not get your mouth watering, I can’t really decide what actually might. Gold also is known to be good for health if consumed in small quantities.

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.
