At the Bling Society there have been changes. The biggest change of all comes in the form of our new collection.  “We’re heading in a new direction away from bold and bright, but never really leaving where we started. There will be hints of it through our collections going forward. This collection is about femininity for the everyday woman”, says Samantha Delaney the founder of the Bling Society.

This new collection is about delicate and refined pieces. It’s about capturing the essence of beauty, and the quality of the product. It’s about taking fashion looks to the everyday.  “I want every woman to feel like they are a part of this wonderful world of fashion.  Making it easy for them to achieve a fashion forward look – effortlessly.  I want them to be able to mix our style with their’s, to achieve an individual look. The street style look.”, says Samantha.

The collection hasn’t moved way from being affordable, with items starting at $29.95.

Make sure you don’t miss out on this beautifully designed and crafted line which oozes quality and beauty. Items available to the US and UK have already sold out.

The Jewellery Edit: Swan Lake collection.. By De Beers…

Stunning design..  Dream worthy piece by De Beers…

The colour, the gemstones, the shapes, and the elegant design make this necklace very alluring.

I love it. I want it. I could possibly convince myself that I need it. Although there is one thing stopping me from buying it.

The Price.

There is no mention of the price on their online eboutique. So, I assume it’s because they are alluring me back to their store to find out… well… it’s working… Many years ago I visited their De Beers store in Hong Kong and it was the most amazing retail experience.

The Swan Lake collection by De Beers is inspired by the grace of a prima ballerina. The website describes the collection as follows:

‘It is said that a ballerina will only reach her prime if she dances the part of Odette and Odile, the shapes of the prima’s perfect moving form and the balance of the dancing formation of the corps of swans is core to the harmony of the necklace. Each rare and stunning diamond is positioned to bring out its character and life, its unique brilliance living up to its shape and size.’

Here are a few more pictures of pieces from the collection that we can all dream of owning. One day…

Buccellati Necklace

Collier Deux Ors.. Buccellati 2013 Collection…

Monarchs and movie stars select Buccelati necklaces when they are in need of some statement bling. The prestige that comes with a work of art such as this piece will show you why all the A-list celebrities seek out the best, and often wear Buccelati.

Using contrasting colours, shapes and sizes, what first appears as a bold announcement of wealth slowly becomes a silent image of stylistic detail rarely seen and impossible to imitate. Simply put, the more you look, the more you will see. The boldness of this work will hit you instantly, but it’s true beauty is in the detail. Take your time looking over the above work of art.

The Jewellery Edit: Extravagant Combination.. Bellucci and Cartier…

Belucci

Shimmering Cartier.. 2013 Collection…

France’s ‘Dreams’ magazine recently featured Italian actress Monica Bellucci in an exclusive photo shoot displaying three dazzling gems from the world-renowned jewellery label Cartier. The magazine pictured the beautiful Bellucci, bronzed and beaming against the backdrop of a silver wall, dressed in black.

Aside from her obvious photogenic features and long flowing dark hair, the 48 year-old impressed The Bling Society with the size of the shimmering diamond on her ring finger, which was accompanied by a pair of earrings. This combination offered a level of restrained elegance to the shoot. This allowed the image to appear both playfully over the top and subtly extravagant, highlighting the stylistic nature of Bellucci, who has unsurprisingly been a Cartier ambassador for many years.

The Jewellery Edit: Start Spreading the News.. New York Tiffany Collection is coming to Melbourne…

Tiffany collection

Legendary Collection.. Tiffany and Co. in Melbourne…

It’s not everyday that one of the biggest names in jewellery comes to your doorstep with a ridiculously expensive collection for you to salivate over, so take advantage of this opportunity while you can Melbourne.

Jewellery heavyweight Tiffany and Co. has brought to Melbourne its Legendary Diamonds collection. As the title suggests the pieces in this collection revolve around some of the most stunning diamonds that Tiffany’s have seen in all of its 160 years in the Jewellery industry.

While its believed that everything has its price, the price tags that will be on display in the Collins St store until August 11 this year will certainly be on the higher side. The Diamond Fringe necklace (above) is on sale for approximately $3 million dollars, and other items from the collection, including the Heart Shaped 10-carat earrings, retail for more than $2.4 Million.

While none of us may have $3 million dollars sitting around, heading into the Melbourne CBD for some window-shopping and a chance to have your own time with these jewels is an opportunity you should pursue. There is only a couple days left until these items are placed back into their turquoise boxes ready to continue their journey around the world, so get in while you still have the chance.

Here is Vogue’s gallery of some of the pieces on display in Melbourne:

The Jewellery Edit: Harry Winston.. The Father of Modern Jewellery…

Harry Winston Emerald & Diamond Ring

New Design… Classic Harry Winston…

If there is any Jewellery label that truly understands what jewellery is all about, it’s Harry Winston. The legacy of the jeweller is drowned in acts of goodwill, flawless design and of a career that highlights the aspects of the jewellery world that are the most important.

Just an example of why we love the current crop of Harry Winston jewellery is the ring titled, ‘Emerald and Diamond.’ Spawning from ‘The Incredibles’ collection, the Emerald and Diamond is similar to the jewellery being designed and produced by The Bling Society. Much like The Bling Society, Harry Winston produces bold and statement-making pieces designed to ‘wow’ all of your friends.

The life of Harry Winston is full of interesting stories. The first is of how a young Harry, after growing up in his fathers jewellery shop, spotted a diamond in a thrift shop that he purchased for $0.25, and later sold for $800. As Harry moved into his later life, he donated the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian in Washington DC. This Diamond is believed to have a value between $200-250 million.

Interesting fact about the father of modern jewellery, the famous song, “Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend” pays homage to Harry Winston, as one of the interjections in the song goes “Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it!”

Harry Winston’s Jewellery is all about making an impression, something he himself certainly made on the world of jewellery.
