Inspirations

Thinking of graduation gifts for myself. I was Inspired by Cartier’s lOVE bracelet. I personally love gifts that have sentimental value, also many people currently own the LOVE bracelet, therefore I am on a quest to create my own derivative of the product.I personally do not want the bracelets to look the same. Inspired by how the love bracelet locks by placing two screws on the side (see picture below). The first difference would be placing four locks rather than two (See the sketch below). Furthermore, I would like to carve the names of my parents and siblings onto it using Arabic calligraphy (See examples below).

Wishful thinking – The ability to split the bracelet into four different pieces will give me the opportunity to create pendents out of them, allowing me in the future to gift them to my children as pieces to always carry wear.

Statement Pieces

These are what I call statement necklaces, they go perfectly with a simple dress and they can easily go from formal day wear to evening. All three necklaces are by Gucci.

Les Heures Fabuleuses de Cartier

This collection by Cartier backs the idea that a watch is now considered a piece of jewelry, it no longer just serves the sole purpose of knowing time, but it has evolved over the years. This collection plays around with the idea that the watch can transform into a ring, pendent, brooch, necklace, cuff and a tiara. Here are pictures of the collection, but to truly know how the collection works watch the video bellow.

David Yurman

Prêt-à-Porter fashion shows will be starting in the few upcoming days. In the meanwhile lets look at things that we could obsess about. Today I came across this David Yurman Haute Joaillerie necklace, it is made out of diamonds and emeralds. I can just imagine how breathtaking it would be on any woman that puts it on.

Noor-Ol-Ain Diamond

I believe we always need to look at pieces from the past and look at their beauty. Jewelry for past royalty is one of the things that I love to see. Because they were the ones that stood to define elegance and grace. Moreover they were one of the few that had the money to buy the best of what the world had to offer. Today I want to look back at the Noor-Ol-Ain Tiara (It was named after the Noor-Ol-Ain pink diamond which is used in it- the pink diamond is one of the largest pink diamonds in the world). The tiara was given to The Empress Farah Pahlavi as a gift from her husband Shah Mohammed Reza on their wedding day. It was made and designed by Harry Winston.

Winter Tale – Cartier

I know I have been talking a lot about jewelry for the past few weeks but I can’t help myself admire and appreciate such exquisite pieces. A few days ago Cartier launched an ad campaign called “Winter Tale”, the story revolves around two panther cubs that take us on a journey through a snow covered land as they reveal pieces from Cartier’s collection. The film manages to take you to a different dimension and somehow allows you to dream. In the film the cubs will encounter pieces from both women’s and men’s collections.
