Japanese watchmaker Haruo Suekichi based in Tokyo is neck-deep busy into designing handcrafted limited edition timepieces. His idiosyncratic approach is clearly reflected through his watches. The very appeal of these watches is industrial with a steampunk touch. They are modeled using unique leather, copper with pointy bits and dials. If you are looking for some freaky curves or impractical designs then your hunt can end here. The archetypal look of the watch aims at offering you a luminous retro touch.
The Suekichi’s Handmade steampunk timepiece is retailed at an affordable price of $1,200.

A deep analysis at the jewelry market today would show you the signs of weakness but then also the latest tip in the market proved to be really strong. Pictured above is a 13.39 carat stunner that got sold off at Geneva-based Christie’s breaking the world record at $8.9 million. I reckon you would agree with me that such blue diamonds are rarely found. The stone is a type IIb diamond and such diamonds are only valued by jewelry lovers or collectors.
They surround small amounts of boron that gives them their return in the form of elegant shade. Another worth pointing feature is their property of being semi-conductors they conduct electricity. The auction generated total sales of $48.3 million.

Can you make out any connection amongst Swarovski, yoga and breast cancer? The woven thread joining these diverse terms can be identified via the Libby Ross Foundation OM Yoga Program. Aimed at helping women suffering from breast cancer, the celebrated crystal brand has inked an association with this foundation together with a set of celebrities and three mother-daughter groups.
Idea is to raise funds for this revolutionary program by adorning yoga bags with Swarovski ornaments and invite bids via eBay Giving Works. The bags for this noble cause are bestowed by Global Design Concepts Inc. The goal of the yoga program is to uphold healing and a sense of well being for breast cancer patients. It is being said that practicing yoga can help do away with the toxins from the body and now I can say that this bejeweled Yoga mat would surely multiply its benefits. The associations involved are also hosting a Sunrise Yoga class alongside the extensive 360-degree sight of New York City at Top of the Rock Observation Deck for 40 mothers, daughters and sisters who are inflicted with this problem. To pay tribute to the upcoming mother’s day, Swarovski would be donating $75,000 of the proceeds generated from pink ribbon charm and pink heart necklace to the Libby Ross Foundation OM Yoga Program.

Life comes the way you want to live it. Time in and out, even the corporate moguls, industry tycoons and other hot-shot look for some kind of change in their lifestyle. And the best way to bring change in one’s monotonous flow of life is to begin with experimenting with your looks. It includes taking a smart hair cut, carrying a vibrant handbag with matching foot wears. And try carrying clothes with different flavor by changing your color taste. Lately, I came across a storehouse of designer wear that deals with interesting collection of designer clothes and other accessories for men, women and kids. If you have any party scheduled, then would suggest you to make a visit to this online shop and ink best deals for yourself and family.

Also, I believe that in absence of elegant jewelry any silhouette would look incomplete and thus cannot stop entering myself into their jewelry section.

Since 1992, Sparkle N Dazzle is engaged into an online business of fine jewelry and gifts. But incidentally, I came to know about them months back only, which is again too late but a little early for me. My sister’s marriage is on cards. And one of our family traditions is going with the flow of diamonds. They have a huge collection of elegant diamond rings designed especially for wedding or engagement occasions.
My hubby bought me one ruby ring on our fifth anniversary. It was then I came to know about that shop. Every time I carry that ring, I get flooded with compliments. Today everyone believes in gifting affordable sapphire rings, ruby rings, emerald rings, wedding anniversary rings and eternity rings to make their relationship priceless. The company uses only the finest materials from certified diamonds to finest platinum and gold and picks the best elements to add elegance to it.
SNDGems guarantees and delivers an uncompromised service and veracity to the clients. I have suggested my sister’s would-be husband to do the entire jewelry shopping from here. The diamonds rings start at $2750 and may go as high as you can afford. The one that I like is a multi gemstone flower fashion ring that features five stones i.e. ruby, emerald, sapphire, amethyst, diamond and others. Also, their collection of fashionable watches is worth glaring.

The necklace is a part of the valuables collected by the Egyptian-born singer.
The descendants of Arab’s diva had put this necklace for sale. This necklace was flaunted by Umm Kulthoum at number of her stage performances. The pearl necklace with its multihued enamel and white stone minutiae was designed in 19th century India. It was a gift to the Umm by diva by Sheik Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the late president of the United Arab Emirates in 1975 when she was 70.
