Rocking The G’s

First off congrats to the Giants, what a game! Ever wonder what those championship rings are worth and who makes them? Well that’s what was on our mind while watching the game so we did a little research. The NFL pays up to $5,000.00 per ring, with up to 150 rings per team. If the rings are over the $5,000 limit, the team owners must make up the difference. Recent rings have been appraised in excess of $20,000, with some valued at $45,000. but manufacturers keep this information confidential of course but past rings have sold at auction for some steep prices. Up to 2004 all rings were made by Jostens, the same company your own class ring or sports ring might have come from – which we found interesting. There is no word on the street yet on who is making this years but we can’t wait to see what it will look like so stay tuned…

Who does not give a SAG?

We are in the middle of award season and sometimes there are just too many to watch to keep up. We were busy having a girls night, catching up with our crew of best friends, nothing gets better than that. Now catching up on fashion, we loved the long drop earring everyone was rolling down the red carpet. Our top picks were those on Viola Davis, Natalie Portman and Emma Stone. From white diamonds, rose gold to a touch of color, we loved the versatility of these earrings that can be fancy for evening events and perfect for nights out on the town as well. Valentine’s Day is around the corner so make sure to add these to your wish list this year!

While the brights are hitting the stores as we speak we are already on the prowl for Fall, scoping out all the hot jewels that will be heading your way towards the end of summer. Our BIG call out for Fall is a new twist to our favorite – the Tassel. Now it is all about color so we are obsessed with these tassels from India made with semi precious stones. Ivanka Trump may have made her own for $45k but we found some beauties for $500.

Moving on to Gold, which was up 9% last year btw, we are loving the classic open link bracelets. Nothing is more chic than an all gold bracelet paired with your masculine watch.

Stacking is still big but this year by way of thinner bracelets accented with diamonds. The Shambala pave bead bracelets are still around but we say they are “out” so lets all move on from those and focus on the new. Keep these ideas in mind and start making your wish list ladies :)

Golden Girls

It was all about the Globes last night and the ladies certainly did not disappoint. The dresses were colorful and the jewels were glamorous! It was dazzling with diamonds last night, leaving the colors to shine on their gowns. The trend of the evening was all about the EARRINGS – the top two styles were dangly diamond or close to the ear with studs. For the fashion savvy ones, we loved Jessica Alba and Sofia Vergara’s dramatic look that perfectly complimented their dresses yet did not take over their heads with too much bling. Then on a more classic side we were obsessed with Charlize Theron’s entire look, she is simply perfection – her studs were the perfect accessory to all her sparkle. Angelina Jolie chose some HUGE Diamond Studs to go with her gown. We loved the studs idea but thought she could have sized down a little on the stones as they hung off her ears too much. And last year’s winner Natalie Portman was glowing and she paired beautiful studs with her dramatic red dress. The tip of the evening was bigger is not always better, make sure you accent your look with the right jewels that serve to compliment you and not over power you.

What was your favorite gift this year?

admin — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:56:31 +0000

12 months can seem like an eternity but somehow when it is January of the next year it all seems like it flew by at the speed of light. As we take a look back, there were so many celebrations that went by from Anniversaries to Birthdays, Weddings and of course all we wanted to know was what GIFTS stole your heart. The winner was DIAMOND BANGLES and we especially loved this 18kt gold brushed bangle with scattered diamonds as it is a little more unique than the diamond bangles we have all seen in the past. These come in yellow, white & rose gold and make a nice set or look stunning on their own. Show us your wrist and send us pictures of your favorite gem from last year.

Happy New Year! Wishing everyone lots of health and happiness in 2012.

While the year was kicked off with a BANG, we are a bit depressed after the Miami Heat’s loss last night. Of course while watching the game we were checking out who was rocking some jewels. Lucky for us we got some one on one time with Mr Lebron James pre game, lunching at a hotel and snapping up a quick pic with my son Brandon. He was dressed casual with his signature Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver (Ref 15703), it looks pretty hotttt on his wrist. Post game D Wade chatted it up and we could not keep our eyes off his Black diamond studs, they must be 5ct each, oh boy. If you want to get yourself a nice big pair of studs and white diamonds is out of the budget, don’t forget to check out BLACK diamonds as it is a much more affordable option and you do not have to sacrifice on beauty. Take a que from the man himself, it is pretty pimp if you do says Astarr.
