Top selling Katrina Kelly 18k Gold Eternity Bands are Running off the Shelves as Wedding Rings

I had envisioned a light, delicate, feminine and graceful ring that really emphasized the patterns and diamonds without being gaudy or pompous. I wanted the rings to have influences from my wedding dress and my Turkish and Persian flare. Here are the rings. One is worn on my right middle finger, and often together with other rings. I am so delighted that many brides are also intrigued by it and are wearing it as their wedding rings. Thank you! And I found this blog showing my jewelry http://www.brendasweddingblog.com/blogs/2008/12/17/jewelry-eye-candy.html Thank you Brenda's Wedding Blog!!!

Platinum Gold Ruby American Egg Inspired by Faberge

Some say don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Stanislav Kaufman , a jeweler for Van Craeynest does not know this saying. Perhaps he was weary of mundane tasks of the everyday manufacture jeweler. A sort of epiphany seemed to occur. He had an ambition for a challenge. More specifically he longed to emulate a Faberge-style egg and make his own egg. He executed his version in a piercing 12 years. He named it The American Egg, however I want to call it the Regal Awesome Magnificent Egg. My vocabulary is just not extensive enough to send him the praise and accolades that he deserves. Bravo! Just look at this egg. This egg is absolutely stunning. After spending quite a bit of time as a bench jeweler myself I have the upmost respect and admiration for this masterpiece. This must have been an enduring and excruciating task. I want to see it in person. The American Egg is made of nearly 20 ounces of platinum, yellow gold and 3,000 diamonds and rubies. His basket containing one egg is valued at $5 million. I feel that Kaufman far exceeded his ambitions. This is his magnum opus. I must see this egg in real life. Photo from JCK.

The Wittelsbach Diamond Sold at Auction

Oh my! I just read that Graff Diamonds purchased the Wittelsbach Diamond at a Christie's auction. The diamond is an impressive 17th-century, cushion-shaped, deep grayish-blue 35.56 carat VS2 stone. Price of $683,667 per carat! I read that François Curiel the chairman of Christie's Europe and the sale's auctioneer, noted: “In the midst of these challenging times, we were thrilled to achieve an historic price for an historic diamond. At $24.3 million, the 35.56-carat Wittelsbach blue diamond, dating to the 17th century, has become the most expensive diamond sold at auction, topping the previous record of $16.5 million for a 100-carat diamond in 1995 in Geneva. It was purchased by the leading international jeweler Laurence Graff, bidding against Aleks Paul of Essex Global Trading, a professional of Russian origin based in New York.” Yes again, Diamonds are a girl’s best friend-And apparently a boy's best friend as well.

Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend STILL

I just met with a fellow jewelry designer. And of course we chatted about the economy and the future of our fine luxury product. She also incorporates stunning diamonds and gold in her jewelry. I feel the New Year will be a more accurate gauge of what is to come in fine jewelry. Jewelry has such an intrinsic value that I think it will stand the test of time and so many buyers see it as an investment. Diamonds will always be a girl’s best friend.
