Easter jewelry isn’t generally thought of as a bona fide category like Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day. But that didn’t stop me from searching… In my dream world, I’d be wearing this stunning couture bunny bracelet featured in Chopard’s 150th anniversary line (I still can’t stop thinking about all those bejeweled creatures just screaming for a new home)

The 64GB 3G iPad is modded by Mervis Diamond Importers and features 11.43 carats of diamonds set in a micro-pave styling. If you’re the kind of guy that wants to one-up the friend who’s always bragging about the latest tech he got on launch day, this is how you do it. Besides, is $20,000 that much?

Let’s face it. In the hierarchy of jewelry metals, we can all agree there’s silver, there’s gold but there’s really no topping platinum in terms of quality, right? According to the Platinum Guild , it’s the most pure of all the precious metals – 95% pure, compared to 18K (75%) and 14K (58.5%) gold

Jewelry design. If you go by just what you read in the papers, you might think the only folks contributing new ideas are bored celebrities (Brangelina, Nicole Ritchie, et al), ex super models (Cindy Crawford, Heidi Klum) and reality show D-listers (too many to count).

Hot Diamonds has been in the charm business for a number of years–but it was their latest Special Editions of whimsical and contemporary pieces that set Hot Diamonds aside from the other more traditional charm collections out there. My all time favorite in the Special Edition series is the Hectic Hen. Perfect for the gal who runs around like the proverbial chicken with its head cut off, this charm iconically depicts “school run” chaos, a social life out of control or perhaps a workaholic.

Diamond jewelry was the big hit on the Grammy Awards red carpet last night, with lots of pendant earrings, icy studs, cuffs and a few statement necklaces thrown in for good measure. Gone are the colorful gems of the Globes and SAGs – which should come as no surprise since the music industry is more bling-obsessed than the thespian set

Jewelry tales of the rich and famous never cease to amaze me – from the extravagant acquisitions of New York’s tony billionaires (Brooke Astor, et al) to celebrity jewelry boxes full of baubles worth more than our mortgages. The latest entry in the latter category concerns the late Anna Nicole Smith, whose financial woes were well-reported following the death of her gazillionaire ‘husband’ back in the 90s.

Jewelry hounds, it’s been a whirlwind of jewelry looky-looing lately, what with Awards Season in full swing here in the States. But across the pond in Paris there’s a ‘jewelry as fashion art’ display going down that’s not to be missed. The Spring 2010 Paris Couture shows are known for extravagant displays for only the rich and famous, but that doesn’t mean we can’t lower our jaws from afar, right?

The 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards shined a light on some unique red carpet jewelry choices for a change – some stunning, some, well, notsomuch. The winners in my book were Diane Kruger ( see my earlier post for more ), Kate Hudson in over $1 million of Cartier diamonds Marion Cotillard in over $1 million of Chopard in her hair alone (!), Christina Hendricks in another teardrop triumph (by Irit), and a glowing Christina Applegate in Lorraine Schwartz diamonds – including this unique diamond hair piece.

SAG Awards jewelry is still dancing in my head, but before I get to my overall impressions (will post tomorrow), can I just take a moment to applaud Diane Kruger for once again killing it on the red carpet? Taking a cue from Michelle Obama’s penchant for young designer Jason Wu , Kruger stunned the crowd with a Wu (is it mustard-yellow, burnt-sienna, rustic-orange?) off-the shoulder gown accessorized with Harry Winston gold and ruby drop earrings and a series of ruby and diamond bracelets and bangles. It’s the perfect mix of ‘make an impression’ meets ‘taste’ in my book.
