Rutilated Quartz Jewelry

Whenever we have a bad mood, why not wear a rutilaled quartz piece of jewelry? It seems that this gem has the power to heal pain. It helps us to find our inner truth and right direction. True or not, why not give it a chance?

Discovering new jewelry designers at IJL 2014

The best thing about trade fairs or other special gatherings with a given purpose or theme is that you have the chance to meet people with whom you share similar interests. You get to only speak briefly with some while with others you spend a little more time to find their story.

I've experienced both scenarios at International Jewellery London 2014, but my encounter with Hinna Azeem fits the second situation. She is a jewelry designer who grew up in London and has visited remote gemstone-rich regions, from Asia to Africa to South America, since childhood. I found out that, in terms of wearability, she really loves smoky quartz because she can get it in lots of different hues of brown.

As for her favorite jewelry items, Hinna was wearing them that day – her stacking rings, with sapphires and smoky Quartz.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you H. Azeem London!

Star-accessories – exquisite earrings

If a woman wants to stand out because of her accessories, then it’s mandatory for her to wear a star-accessory that will draw others’ attention to her. When a woman decides what jewels she’ll wear in a certain circumstance and she’ll opt for something else than a parure, she’ll have a preferred adornment for sure. It is the statement jewelry item that will be much praised by the others.

These amazing earrings are definitely perfect for the role of star-accessory of an outfit.

Waiting for the weekend

Just a little bit until the weekend, when we’ll have a lot of fun listening to good music, dancing and sipping our cocktails.

Speaking of them, I've recently discovered Piaget’s rings collection inspired by colourful and fruity cocktails. I totally understood how the brand came up with such an idea after checking out Piaget’s Pinterest page dedicated to Cocktail Inspiration Rings. This is what it’s written on their page: “sparkling gemstones evoke fascinating cocktails. Colourful, tangy, fruity... Piaget's Cocktail inspiration rings sparkle with a shimmering radiance that lights up the night, forming a set of exquisite invitations to succumb to life's most delightful pleasures.”

And the rings… my, oh my. J See it for yourself:
