In the middle of the night

Funny and captivating how fast time goes by. A little bit sad if we get to think of the years which pass by so rapidly. Day after day, night after night, time flies and we’re constantly finding ourselves in different life situations - enjoying the present and starting all over again or never letting go of the past, dreaming of the future and so on.

Oh, how extremely important it is to seize the moment in the time carousel! To enjoy each day and make the night one of our allies. The latter has so much to offer: rest, passion, time for reflection, sweet dreams, long parties. Yes, there will also be nights filled with worries or maybe nightmares, but this is life. Que sera, sera!

What’s their meaning? Part III

Hello everybody! It’s time for our third episode in “what’s their meaning” miniseries.

Today’s characters are:

• Ruby comes from the Latin rubeus, meaning red and it is the symbol of courage and strength; it also symbolizes love and passion. In Sanskrit, the word for ruby is ratnaraj, meaning king of precious stones.

Harry Winston ring -  Oval ruby, 5.40 carats; 2 tapered baguettes, 0.58 carats; platinum and yellow gold setting

• Blue Chalcedony owes its name to a city situated at a crossing-point on the Bosphorus in ancient times.

"DUNAY" CHALCEDONY CABOCHON RING. THE BLUE CHALCEDONY HAS A CARAT WEIGHT OF 19.11 CARATS SET IN PLATINUM AND 18KT GOLD 

I bet you wouldn't have expected this - the findings were a surprise for me as well:

• Amethyst comes from the Greek word amethustos, meaning without drunkenness and it is believed to protect one from poison. Iolite, still often called cordierite in honor of the French geologist Pierre-Louis Cordier, owes its name to the Greek ion meaning the flower violet. 

 "Byzantine" ring set with amethyst, peridots, iolites and diamonds from the CHANEL Fine Jewelry "COCO" Collection

• Morganite was named after financier J. P. Morgan, as he was the best customer of the gemologist who found the pink beryl.

Let’s go to Paris

I love to travel and there are so many places I’d like to visit. I've already been in several great locations by now in both Africa and Europe, but there is so much more to discover. For example, although I've been to France before, I've never been to Paris. The French capital is on my tourist list, with all its attractions: the Eiffel Tour, Louvre Museum, Sacré-Cœur and Moulin Rouge, Centre Pompidou, Montmartre neighborhood, the nice restaurants and, of course, if I go to Paris, I would definitely make time to visit the maisons of famous fine jewelry brands.

But how did Paris come to my mind? I simply saw this superb tiara and my thoughts began to wander…
