Antique Diamond Engagement Rings

Monday, July 30th, 2007

antique-diamond-engangement-ring.jpg An engagement ring is arguably the most important piece of jewelry a woman will ever receive in her lifetime. This fact makes it crystal clear that the ring ought to be not only gorgeous, but also a reflection of her particular beauty and personal style. For some women, a standard solitaire ring is just the thing, but for those who want to display a certain flair and richness, other options are more appropriate.

One such option is an antique engagement ring. These rings come in a wide variety of styles often incorporating subtle and intricate design elements such as filigree and custom cut gemstones. With rare antique diamond cuts, these rings display a unique look which sets them far apart from modern diamond cuts. Antique diamond cuts have a subtle beauty which is elegant and intriguing.

Estate diamond engagement rings also offer a connection to the history and style of days past. This fact often imbues these wondrous rings with an aura of romance which is exciting and inspiring.

If you are searching for a unique and expressive engagement ring, have a look at some of our antique diamond engagement designs. You may just find the perfect ring for her.

You Are What You Wear…..Really?

Monday, July 30th, 2007

watchdude.gif People fall into 2 very distinct categories when trying to answer this question: people who don’t care and think about clothes and regard fashion and watches merely as functional utility items and those who are trying to say something about themselves by the things they wear.

Its not to say that the folks in category 1 aren’t interesting and fascinating people, they may be, just not when it comes to fashion. For the folks in the second category, the ones who think and plan what they put on themselves…….you can tell a lot about these people by looking closely and examining the detail.

From a man’s perspective…….details would include; shoes that are shined, nails that are clean and trimmed, fitted shirts and suits, shoe leather that matches the belt, eyeglasses, watch, ring and shoe buckles that are of matching metal……I could go on and on here. These things all tell you that this man is particular about his appearance.

It would be a misnomer to assume that somebody who is generally “well to do” and enjoys luxury in one category will have a taste for another. I regularily meet successful people who have beautiful cars, staggering homes but have a Timex Triathalon on their wrist. But as the percent of wealthy consumers in the US increases, more and more people in the US seem to be buying fine watches and jewelry. Who is buying what? and what do you think it says about that person…….

Random Observations…….and sweeping generalizations:

-People think of Rolex as the first watch they need to buy when they achieve a certain level of financial stability. This is in part due to Rolex’s strong brand or for some people who want to let their friends and peers know, they have a Rolex and “they have arrived.” If it is a Submariner or Datejust, they probably just want a good watch that will last them for years. But as they become watch collectors, they invariably sell or trade this watch and move into the more boutique, higher end brands like Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Ulysse Nardin, and Girard-Perregaux. If they have a Rolex Gold President, they are an older conservative guy, likely over 60.

- Patek Phillipe says well monied, conservative, usually an older guy…..definitely not edgy or fashion forward. Wears Hermes ties.

- The edgier, fashion forward gent with dough wears a Harry Winston, Roger Dubuis, Franck Muller. This guy doesn’t shop at Brooks Brothers but the Rolex president guy probably does.

- Conservative who appreciates nice things would wear Chopard, Blancpain and Patek Phillipe. This guy wears blue suits with red ties.

- High end sports watches (and probably the guy who own a decent boat) would be Corum, Ulysse and the AP Royal Oak Offshore.

- The Bell & Ross guy is probably the new and improved Panerai guy.

Hmmmm, any others…..?

The Omega DeVille HourVision watch: Rebirth of a Horological Powerhouse

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

hourvision.jpg Somewhat lost behind the star-studded advertising campaigns of Omega over the past decade or so, is the slumbering essence of this brand–that of a dedicated watch Manufacture who ranks among the uppermost echelon in terms of innovation, quality, and prestige. Its good to be able to say with confidence that the real substance of this brand will soon be at the forefront once again.

If we look back into the late 19th century, we see a company who made minute repeaters and other exceptionally fine high grade pocket watches. In the 20th century, Omega produced movements of its own design which became legendary for their extraordinary precision–these calibers were also produced in large series, disproving the notion that quality and quantity were mutually exclusive. Along with Patek Philippe and Rolex, Omega was a dominant force at the prestigious chronometer competitions–a true “Golden Age” for mechanical watches, in which great watch brands brought forth their best efforts to further the development of superior movements. Although these competitions ended with the advent of quartz technology, students of watchmaking history justifiably find this period of time fascinating, and Omega was one of the key players.

Omega wrote history as an important maker of sports watches which were among the most famous of their time, including the Seamaster and the Speedmaster lines. The latter, of course, would become adopted by NASA, becoming “the watch worn on the moon”, as well as earn further stripes for its role in the triumphant reversal of impending disaster in the Apollo 13 mission of 1970. Omega’s renown for precision also made them the official timekeeper of numerous Olympic games, an honor which continues to the present day.

Despite these laurels, Omega–like the rest of the Swiss watch industry–hit difficult times in the 1970’s. As the sales of quartz watches annihilated mechanical ones, Omega’s production overwhelmingly shifted to quartz, a strategy which continued throughout the 1980’s. However, when the public appetite for “ticking watches” started to slowly breathe again in the 1990’s, Omega correspondingly shifted their focus, and iconic and popular lines were revived and increasingly outfitted with mechanical movements. The 1999 introduction of the innovative George Daniels’ Co-Axial escapement was another major step, and a significant flex of long dormant Omega muscle.

Now, Omega is ready to kick things into an entirely different gear. Omega’s president, Stephen Urquhart intends to reestablish Omega as a true prestige player. The watch which will light the way is the new DeVille HourVision. I’m really excited by the impetus behind this watch, and am greatly looking forward to seeing one up close and personal. Putting into use the Co-Axial technology which it incorporated in their ETA-based calibers, Omega’s 8500 caliber is entirely new, and proprietary to the brand.

Simultaneously robust in construction, and lavish in decorative details, the 8500 is designed to summarize the chief virtues which have distinguished Omega’s movements from the past, particularly in regard to timekeeping performance, longevity, and ease of service. The Omega Deville Hourvision watches look beautiful too, with their unique sapphire crystal inner cases (which allow some very cool views of the movement), fine dialwork, and truly intricate bracelets. Bravo Omega!

Its satisfying to see that a rich legacy can provide inspiration for a significant rebirth. There can be little doubt that this is but the first step in an exciting period of horological renewal for one of the world’s most important watch brands.

de GRISOGONO Jewelry

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

DG_50309-01-001_Z.jpg In the vast sea of designer jewelry, de GRISOGONO swims about like a giant purple octopus. With unabashed creative zeal, company president Fawaz Gruosi pushes the boundaries of jewelry design, resulting in some of the most extraordinary and provocative jewelry designs the world has ever seen. Massive gemstones – outlandish animal renderings – all accented with copious amounts of pave diamonds and gemstones!

Gruosi has also pioneered and even developed new materials for incorporation in de GRISOGONO’S jewelry creations. This trend started when Gruosi decided in the late 1990’s to use black diamonds as a focal point in his jewelry designs. Soon thereafter, other jewelry manufacturers began to follow suit by also using black diamonds in their jewelry.

From there, de GRISOGONO launched timepiece designs pioneering the use of “galuchat” (stingray) watchstraps. Next, he chose to market jewelry featuring new milky-colored diamonds which he called “Icy Diamonds.”

The company’s most recent innovation is a new brown tinted gold called “Browny Brown Gold” which is being used in both timepiece and jewelry designs. Whether it’s a bangle bracelet, a gemstone fashion ring, or even a timepiece design, de GRISOGONO’s exotic creations are sure to provoke, impress and mystify all who see them.

Kimora Lee Simmons Has Had Quite a Ride

Monday, July 16th, 2007

kimora-lee-simmons-s.jpg Kimora Lee Simmons might have been raised in a middle class neighborhood, but she was shopping on Rodeo drive by the time she graduated from high school.

This 6 foot diva received a crash course in modeling at age 11 and was quickly awarded a Chanel modeling contract by the time she was 14. She quickly became one of Karl Lagerfeld’s favorite models and in a blink of an eye became one of his least favorites…

At the age of 22 she became one Russell Simmon’s favorite consorts and they soon married and had two kids. She quickly integrated herself into the mogel’s dynasty becoming the head of design for Baby Phat clothing. As quickly as she fell into favor with the mogul, she fell out… as the couple divorced 4 years later. 3e8
>

Since the divorce, she continues to work for Baby Phat and Phat Farm clothing as well as occasionally taking police on 2 mile car chases. Kimora also manages to get small speaking parts in movies that, well… I honestly don’t recognize the titles of.

Seen here, Kimora is leaving the Anya Hindmarch store wearing lots of “bling”. If you look closely you will see that this supreme being of “bling” is wearing a Bvlgari “iced out” ladies watch on her left hand.

Flavio Briatore Has the Life

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

flavio.jpg When he graduated from high school he had the lowest marks in his program. When he tried to open up his first restaurant, it went out of business. Luckily Flavio Briatore was born with tenacity.

After the restaurant, Briatore became a businessman’s assistant and parlayed that into a job at the Italian Stock Exchange. At the stock exchange he met Luciano Benetton with whom he became business partners and eventually introduced the Benetton brand to the United States.

400 stores later, Briatore is rich – out of Benetton – and is scouting Formula One race car drivers – eventually discovering Fernando Alonso.

These days, along with managing his race car team, Flavio’s job is basically entertaining and sometimes inseminating supermodels. In the past he has dated Naomi Campbell, Adriana Volpe, and Heidi Klum with whom he has a child.

Apparently all the above mentioned supermodels had become in his eyes, well…”Cougars”.

This 57 year old playboy traded in Heidi Klum for the 26 year old Wonderbra model Elisabetta Gregoraci. If you do that math, thats a 31 year delta, something even Pablo Picasso would be proud of.

The SPEED channel has donned the monicker “Flava-Flav” for his outlandish spending. It is rumored that he once gave Naomi Campbell his 10 million dollar yaght as a present. At least he has good taste in watches. Seen here, the European Hugh Hefner is wearing a rose gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore. Definitely one of the coolest possible watches in production.

Antique, Estate, Vintage, . . Yesterdays Jewelry Treasures Rediscovered

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

estate.jpg  Estate jewelry is a world unto itself. I have spent many years learning about diamonds, colored gemstones and jewelry, but my early knowledge was all framed around modern jewelry production. It wasn’t until my cohort, the venerable Joseph White, came on board with Lussori that I began my education in estate jewelry. Fortunately for me, Joseph brought with him to Lussori not only an extensive knowledge of estate jewelry, but also a very special partnership with none other than Fred Leighton!

If you’re unfamiliar with Fred Leighton , he has amassed one of the most important and impressive collections of estate and antique jewelry in the world. Through our partnership with Fred Leighton, and other estate jewelry collectors, we have obtained items from various periods – Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, etc. The most exquisite jewelry from all of these time periods and movements has passed through our doors. I have had the unique opportunity to hold, inspect and admire these elusive and spellbinding works of art.

Each period has it’s unique treasures from diamond tiaras to old mine cut engagement rings and gemstones of all shapes and sizes. While the mere antiquity of estate jewelry pieces provides an inherent value, some of these items display a truly remarkable level of artistry and workmanship which has been lost over the years.

To view some of the most extraordinary and gorgeous estate jewelry that the world has to offer, simply visit our website or stop by our Carmel store.

Stacking Bracelets

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

stacking-bracelets.jpg  I remember when one sizable diamond tennis bracelet was a serious statement. An elegant strand of sparkling diamonds would take nearly any woman’s breath away. These days though, it seems as though three or four bracelets is barely sufficient!

Take a look at red carpet event photos, and it seems as though any given starlet’s forearm is encased in gold and diamonds from their wrist half way to their elbow. Drew Barrymore, Lindsay Lohan, heck, even Johnny Depp is sporting a wristful of watches and bracelets (though I suppose that with his Midas touch, anything he does gets a pass by fashion standards).

What’s more is that anything goes! Gold, platinum, white gold, diamonds, colored gemstones – all present and accounted for. And it doesn’t stop there – you’ll see modern tennis bracelets mixed in with Art Deco designs and fashion bangles.

If you don’t quite rank yourself amongst the glitterati, you might play it safe with a stack of diamond bangles. But if you are the adventurous type, you might as well go for broke!

Simplicity and Purity is Back

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

meissen.gifFull Disclosure??.I have always loved complicated watches. The notion of a watchmaker spending countless hours on the bench assembling a perpetual calendar, tourbillon or grand complication, for me, has always represented the epitome of fine watchmaking or as the Swiss say, haute horologerie.

The latest trend in watchmaking is a reversion back to simplicity and purity??and I have to say that I like it. At the Basel and Geneva fairs this year, many of the fine watch brands showcased variations on the ??pure timepiece.??

A few of my favorites?? The pristine dials of the Piaget Antiplano are clean in every detail. Doing what a fine timepiece was meant to do, indicate time in an elegant pure way, uncluttered and unobstructed. Girard Perregaux gives us another fine example with their Vintage 66.

The Blancpain Villeret that George Clooney wore on the cover of Men?Ts Vogue, looked to be the final touch to a great handmade suit. Glashutte Original debuted the Meissen this year and it is truly awe inspiring. I?Tm still debating which of these I will add to my collection.

I must be getting old (I?Tm 40 this year). It seems with every passing year I appreciated the simpler things, including what I wear on my arm.
