Swarovski descendant launches crystal jewelry line
As a member of the famed Austrian crystal family, Vanessa Swarovski Piedra grew up around beautiful sparkling objects. Now she’s creating a few of her own.
Swarovski Piedra, the great-great-granddaughter of Swarovski Corp. founder Daniel Swarovski, launched a jewelry collection this fall featuring Swarovski crystals under her own brand, VSP. And plans for the brand extend beyond jewelry, including candles, crystal-studded pashminas and throws, and crystal-adorned furniture.
Spring 2009 Jewelry Trends
Spring 2009 is in the air.
So for all of you who are extremely busy with your own home jewellery businesses I thought some hints on the key trends might be helpful.
As always we must begin with color. There are three important color stories for the season.
The first is black and white.
The new take for this graphic combo is floral. Pretty all over large flowers. What’s really fresh for black and white is taking it in a less slick direction and adding a more textural attitude.
I believe using fabric wrapped beads, printed ceramic, and glass beads from India that are imperfect is a great way to achieve a crisp but natural look for this palette.
Coral and yellow is the warm palette this spring/summer. Look to the continent of India for inspiration.
Use patterned beaded and etched metals to complement your colors. Antique finished on metal, and rose gold platings can really make this theme a bit more directional.
Dannijo Jewelry
Sometimes size does matter and for Spring 2009, jewelry spouted a “bigger is still better” motto. Gone are the days of little accents and dainty jewels. Now it’s all about the exceptionally interesting and innovative pieces that will become the center of attention and define your outfit.
If you’re looking for some new investments, you’ve come to the right place. Dannijo is a young jewelry company with edgy classic collections that will elevate your style. (Plus their designs have been seen on Natalie Portman and Blake Lively.) This “gem” was established just last year by two sisters who have a knack for making exquisite handmade accessories that take your breath away. With names like Axl and Ringo and Madge on the Rocks you can’t help but put one on and smile.

Coleen designs jewellery for Argos
Coleen Rooney’s jewellery and watch range with high street chain Argos will hit shops in the New Year.
Argos said footballer Wayne Rooney’s wife would produce a number of “high fashion” collections at an affordable price.
The first collection, featuring 19 jewellery pieces and five watches, will become available in January.
Rooney, who is known for her love of shopping and transformed her look to become more sophisticated than her teenage years, said:
Accessories are an important part of the overall look of an outfit and I have always loved choosing fashionable jewellery.
I’m delighted to be working with Argos on my own jewellery collections and am enjoying the creative input I’ve had in putting the ranges together.”
The first collection contains four looks – a daytime pearl range, a crystal range for parties, a “hippy chic” retro look and a designer-inspired selection of watches.
The deal was officially announced on Friday although the rumours had already leaked out. According to unconfirmed reports, it is worth £500,000.
Louis Vuitton launches Monogram Cut Diamonds
Everyone is always more than eager for any launch from Louis Vuitton. This time around it is their own diamond cuts based on their famous monogram flowers.
The patented cuts have taken more than three years to develop and each has between sixty one and seventy seven facets. These monogram diamonds will come in a variety of settings like a necklace featuring a thousand and one brilliant cut diamonds totaling fifteen carats that holds together sixty five round flower diamonds totaling forty nine carats and seventy nine pointed flowers.
All this together amounts to forty four carats making the necklace as heavy as one hundred and eight carats. Louis Vuitton monogram cut diamonds will be seen featured on brooches, rings and necklaces.
Crazy for Cocktail Rings
If you tuned in for the first episodes of Bravo’s new Rachel Zoe Project, you’ve surely caught an eyeful of the uber-stylist’s massive panther-shape Cartier cocktail ring.
If that didn’t let the cat out of the bag for you, let us do it: Cocktail rings are hotter than ever right now–and they are pushing the boundaries of bold with wild shapes and multiple gems.
Following is some of our favorite bling.

Maison Martin Margiela Jewelry Collection
If you’re a fan of the whimsical work signed Maison Martin Margiela, here’s the latest:
The explosive jewelry team just hit the market: Maison Martin Margiela and Damiani 14 pieces collection is out!
Maison Martin Margiela Jewelry Collection With Damiani
I love the Spartan look of the collection and the simplicity of every item.
I don’t believe they’re easy to wear, but that’s not the purpose of fashion, is it? The Margiela/Damiani jewelry collection looks surprisingly beautiful in a commercial kind of way (even if they retail for appx (900-47,000), don’t they?
