Oscars 2016: The Best Jewelry on the Red Carpet

%Jeweler NYC %NYC Wholesale Diamonds

Diamonds and white metals, mostly platinum, were the stars of the 88th Academy Awards red carpet jewelry presentation Sunday. Earrings were big with chandeliers, geometric designs and large drops. There were plenty of bare necks but when necklaces were worn, they were outsized and dramatic.

The winner was Charlize Theron who appeared near the end of the event wearing $3.7 million worth of Harry Winston Diamonds. The show stopper was the 48-carat Secret Cluster Diamond Necklace, which was complemented by Winston Cluster Diamond Earrings, 15.49 carats, Cushion-Cut Diamond Ring with Micropave, 8.78 carats, Micropave Diamond Band Ring, and Queen Diamond Ring, 7.44 carats, all set in platinum.

Valentine’s Day Jewelry for the Ambiguously Monogamous

A ‘sign of the times’ article in this weeks issue of The New Yorker written by Amanda Cormier.

%Jeweler NYC %NYC Wholesale Diamonds  

These days, it seems like people just aren’t pairing up the way they used to. In our increasingly non-monogamous society, Valentine’s Day shopping can present certain problems. This February 14th, impress your loved one(s) with a jewelry gift that’s just right for him/her/them, with the help of this handy guide.

Barely There Thin Band (can be stacked)
For the person who just wants to keep things light. Labels don’t mean anything anyway. Work has been crazy lately.

Frail Bird Tiny Diamond Pendant
For the woman still reeling from a traumatic breakup, who is putting up a strong front.

Pi Kappa Alpha Petrified-Wood Charm Bracelet
For the man who loves whiskey, craft beer, and adventure.

Let’s Proceed Opal Pinky Ring
For the person who is down.

Amethyst Infinity Toe Rings (pair)
For the coastal hetero couple who said they’d get married when everyone in this country had the right to, but didn’t realize that things would move so quickly.

Sweet Nothings Braided Leather Cuff
For the man who will ask you to coffee as if it is a date, but it is not a date. He just loves conversation and pour-overs.

Key to My Heart Topaz Chain
For the man who asked for a copy of the house key only because he needs to lock up on his way out in the morning. He’s a freelancer, so he’s allowed to sleep in a bit. It’s a gig-economy accessory, not a promise ring.

No I’m Serious Platinum Anchor Pendant
For the lady who wants to lock it down.

Timeless Majesty Love Language Locket
For the woman who read “The Five Love Languages” and understood instantly that “Receiving Gifts” was her primary love language, but managed to convince herself that “Acts of Service” was more her style.

Dazzling Intersections Ring of Understanding
For the woman who can talk identity politics all night long, if you only ask her, and who self-identifies as a witch.

Classic Elegance Primrose Band of Trust
A marriage license is just a piece of paper; this ring is just a circle of cubic zirconia. For the self-aware co-habiting, committed, unmarried couple. Naughty!

Silver-Plated Drop-In Earring
For the man who late at night will text you, “Just checking in LOL.”

Light as a Feather Dangle Earrings with Dream-Catcher Bead Attachment
For the freewheeling woman without a care, who seriously doesn’t care. Like, at all.

This Romantic Proposal Will Brighten Your Day

 Congratulations to the very special couple from Maine who braved the rough seas all in the name of love! We wish you an eternity of happiness!

%Jeweler NYC %NYC Wholesale Diamonds

‘Just wanted to inform you that she said yes! 🙂  I planned it to happen on a Schooner sailboat in Maine and it worked out perfectly.  It was rough sledding due to weather (this was about a month ago when they were talking about a hurricane possibly coming up the coast).  Seas were rough, but the captain found a calm area and I made it happen.  The photographers I hired disguised as tourists were able to capture the moments.  She was shocked and it will be something we remember forever.  Success!’
