Blair Waldorf, Gossip Girl’s Upper East Side teenage fashionista, has turned one style quirk into a trend: her ever-present headband. What makes them so wearable? The key is to place them at least an inch back from the hairline. “If you have bangs, sweep them in front to soften the look,” says the show’s hairstylist, Elizabeth Reilly-Davila.

Before introducing Tiffany 1837 interlocking circles collection, first recommending Cartier Love Necklace.

Someone said that, Tiffany is just coping Cartier, because Cartier had this design since the 70’s and Tiffany’s newest line released only in 2008.

Anyway, Tiffany’s Interlocking Circles collection is really amazing, and the meaning I guess is also about love. So, it’s a great gift for her.

Jean Schlumberger (1907–1987) was born into a prominent family of textile manufacturers in Alsace, France. As a child, he demonstrated a talent for drawing, which was not encouraged by his parents, who sent him to Berlin in the 1930s to pursue a career in banking. He developed neither taste nor talent for numbers, however, and soon moved to Paris where he could indulge his love of the arts.

Schlumberger’s designs at Tiffany & Co. were remarkable for their whimsical interpretations of natural forms. He was especially inspired by sea creatures and other animals. Diana Vreeland wrote that Schlumberger “appreciates the miracle of jewels. For him, they are the ways and means to the realization of his dreams.”

Here we can see few of Schlumberger’s gorgeous designs.

Schlumberger’s sense of whimsy and imagination brings this iconic design to life. The setting, originally designed in the 1960s, was recreated decades later to showcase the esteemed Tiffany Diamond brooch with an emerald-cut aquamarine and round brilliant diamonds in 18k gold and platinum. Price: $79,000

The pearl is a naturally perfect jewel that requires no cutting or polishing, and no other gemstone matches its legacy of mystery and romance. As early as 3500 B.C., Middle Eastern and Asian societies treasured pearls as symbols of purity and feminine charm. In 19th century Europe, pearls were the favorite of royalty who valued them above all other gems. American women, too, were enamored of the pearl’s opalescent splendor.

The Elsa Peretti® Pearls by the Yard™ collection is less expensive than the others, but the simple and elegant design has been captured so many women’s hearts.

If you have bought Tiffany silver jewelry, they might come with a  care of sterling silver card, and said: “Sterling silver is a precious metal and may require cleaning from time to time. Using a small amount of silver polish on a soft cloth, rub the piece of silver several times. This will remove the tarnish and dullness, keeping your sterling gift like new.”

Besides that, I will share some useful tips on how to brighten the darkened silver jewelry at home if there’s no silver polish at hand.

Tip 1.  Pour a little vinegar to a small saucer, put your silver jewelry which is darkened into the vinegar to soak for a while, then wash it with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth, it will become bright again.

Tip 2. Toothpaste is really a perfect cleanser to clean silver. Just put a little toothpaste in a discarded toothbrush, brush the silver jewelry for a while, then rinse it thoroughly. It will look like new.

Tip 3. Rub with a eraser is another useful way to remove the tarnish and dullness.

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper.

Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for producing large functional objects; therefore, the silver is usually alloyed with copper to give it strength, while at the same time preserving the ductility and beauty of the precious metal.

For classic Tiffany Notes collection, each piece is etched in a flowing script that spells out the company’s name and its address, 727 Fifth Avenue, New York.

Recently, Tiffany & co. has launched a new series of Tiffany Notes jewelry, the elegant script, inspired by handwritten invitations, has changed from company and its address to the phrase of “I love you”, as shown in the next picture.
