About Frank Gehry

Winner of the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize (1989), Frank O. Gehry is arguably the world’s greatest living architect.

Born in Canada, Mr. Gehry’s masterpieces include the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the Nationale-Nederlanden in Prague. Gehry is an artist of monumental importance. In a collaboration of historic significance, he turned his genius to the most intimate of all the arts, jewelry design for Tiffany. His intriguing, warped, and sometimes raw shapes are first expressed in a series of frenetic sketches. Some are fueled by childhood memories. Others by Renaissance masters and a handful of contemporary painters.

This is jewelry the world has never seen before. Sharp angles. Fascinating juxtapositions. Gehry uses unusual materials, such as pernambuco wood, black gold and cacholong stone. He creates a startling play of light. This bold new vision of arresting shapes and forms reflects Gehry’s lifelong passion.

Tiffany Blue is the colloquial name for the blue color associated with Tiffany & Co., the New York City jewelry company.
The Tiffany Blue color is protected as a color trademark by Tiffany & Co. in some jurisdictions including the U.S.
The color is produced as a private custom color by Pantone, with PMS number 1837, the number deriving from the year of Tiffany’s foundation. As a trademarked color, it is not publicly available and is not printed in the Pantone Matching System swatch books. (from: wikipedia)

I cannot believe that there’s someone can stop herself loving the Tiffany Blue Box® Pendant. The turquoise pendant is decorated with round brilliant diamonds in platinum.

This is another tiffany blue box charm, with enamel finish in sterling silver. Although it is made of sterling silver, no less brilliant than the diamond one. And I love this one better.

For many, charm bracelets are not just a piece of jewelry, they have a theme. If your bracelet is inspired by an era of fashion, a child’s birth or milestone in your life, choose charms that continue that theme. If your bracelet is inspired by moments and memories, choose charms that closely resemble the emotions you felt.

However, the next six tips can help you choose charms perfectly match your charm bracelet.

Links of London was founded in 1990. The company resulted from a simple request for a pair of fish cufflinks – bizarre but true. A local restaurant owner commissioned the manufacture of a pair of sterling silver cufflinks, as a gift for their loyal restaurant clients.

Links of London always have something exciting and new to offer. Their contemporary classic, fashion and extra special designs have surprised all fashion girls.

They offer an eclectic mix of men’s and women’s jewellery in sterling silver and 18 carat gold, and also offer a desirable mix of leather and silver items, for the home or the workplace, or for the perfect gift.

Recently, Links of London presented a collection of Travel Charms. The miniatures include a mini moped and a bicycle- perfect for whizzing in and out of the traffic.

Getting from one place to the next couldn’t be easier, hop on a scooter and shoot along the roads or through the city’s famous parks.

If you would rather someone else drive you around town, hail a traditional London Taxi charm – a well known symbol of London life and the bustling city where Links of London was founded.

In Western tradition, an engagement ring is a ring worn by a woman indicating her engagement to be married. Conventionally, the ring is presented as a betrothal gift by a man to his prospective bride while he proposes marriage or directly after she accepts his marriage proposal. It represents a formal agreement to future marriage.

In some countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, it is worn on the left-hand ring finger, while in other countries, such as Poland and Ukraine, it is customary for the ring to be worn on the right-hand. Similar traditions purportedly date to classical times, dating back from an early usage reportedly referring to the fourth finger of the left hand as containing the vena amoris or “vein of love”.

In the United States and Canada today it is becoming more common, but still rare, that a woman will also buy her partner an engagement ring at the time of the engagement.[1] These may be called male engagement rings or man-agement rings, which is a portmanteau of “man” and “engagement ring”.[2] This practice is more common in other countries.

Before agreeing to marry, a couple may choose to buy and wear pre-engagement rings, also called promise rings. After marrying, the couple may wear both engagement rings and wedding rings, or just their wedding rings, as they prefer.

10. Emerald cut with tapered bagets ring, another fabulous engagement ring from Tiffany that makes a true style statement.

A good cut is essential to a diamond’s beauty, because even a diamond with outstanding color and clarity will not display the sparkle that diamonds are famous for if its components don’t interact with light as they should.

As shown in the next picture:

• Light traveling through an ideal cut diamond bounces back out the top of the stone, bringing its brilliance into view.
• Light traveling through a shallow cut diamond is lost out of the bottom of the stone and does not back into sight. The lack of light play makes shallow cut diamonds appear lifeless.
• Light traveling through a diamond that’s cut too deep escapes out the sides, darkening all or portions of the stone.
