Decorative Trays at the Landmark

07.04.2015 by Leah //

While I have successfully avoided the lure of shopping at the home section of H&M, at Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Crate & Barrel, I could not stick to that "self-control" whenever I am at the Home Section of the Landmark Department Store. It doesn't help too that they are selling decorative trays that are so "in" these days, and if you love anything decoupage then ... READ MORE

Blue Sapphire: A Gemstone of Love

04.24.2015 by Leah //

From the Diamond-Jewelry-Pedia: "The "Celestial" Sapphire - symbol of the heavens, is said to guarantee good health, innocence, truth, and preserver of chastity. It is the birthstone of September and its name is derived from the Latin word "Sapphirus" meaning blue. This gem has been known since the ancient times. There was a belief that Earth is set on this gemstone, ... READ MORE

Maleficent’s Fire

04.12.2015 by Leah //

The green fire of Maleficent inspired the creation of this jewelry setting using beautiful Biron emeralds (check out my first emerald jewelry feature HERE). The idea was to create a jewelry setting inspired by Maleficent (Angelina Jolie's version).  It has to display power, fierce, drama and flamboyance - Maleficent's defining characteristics.  Big Biron emeralds ...

Stackable Perky Rings

01.15.2015 by Leah //

I have long loved the idea of building up my finger bling and then interchange them to make it appear that I'm wearing a different kind of ring every day.  I shared this 'idea' to my partner jeweler and showed her my pegs (including Tiffany's Celebration Rings) and together, we came up with these solid 14k white gold rings with colorful gemstones as a way to celebrate the ...

Enamel Pendants by Radek Aljancic

11.17.2014 by Leah //

If you've been following my blog long enough, you'll know that I'm fascinated with enamel faith pendants.  I was lucky to have caught the tail end of Ms. Daphne Osena-Paez jewelry flash sale in March last year and bought her custom-made St.Paul faith pendant. Then I chanced upon the website of this European artist where Ms. Daphne sources some of her enamel pendants.  It ... READ MORE

The Antique Rose-Cut Diamonds

10.02.2014 by Leah //

With showbiz wedding proposals happening left and right (the latest was Isabel Oli getting engaged to John Prats  - watch their cool video here), I decided to feature today a unique diamond cut that has a lot of history in itself, and which I think any girl would love to receive on her engagement or wedding day: They're called rose-cut diamonds,  and are sometimes called ...
