From the Diamond-Jewelry-Pedia: "The "Celestial" Sapphire - symbol of the heavens, is said to guarantee good health, innocence, truth, and preserver of chastity.

The Royal Shades of Blue in Tanzanites
Because today is Mama Mary's birthday and blue is somewhat her liturgical color, I decided to feature today this beautiful blue jewelry that I once owned, and now belongs to my sister-in-law, Juvvy.

Kate Middleton was no Cinderella when she married Prince William, having come from a well-to-do family. As for the famous hats of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie during the royal ... READ MORE
Kate Middleton wore a Hijab

It was said to symbolize the Olympic rings. I think the necklace is pretty but not too flattering with her ... READ MORE

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in a Pop Art Collection
Got this news from The Telegraph. Romero Britto, the Brazilian pop artist who combined cubism and pop art in creating pop culture icons for the Dalai Lama, Coco Chanel, Madonna and Michael Jackson, among the many others, turned out to be a huge fan of the royals, particularly Prince William and his new bride Kate. “It was wonderful to create their portrait, I just adore ...

Amanda Wakeley: The Duchess of Cambridge’s New Favorite
The Duchess of Cambridge was recently seen wearing the creations of Amanda Wakeley, a British brand, of course.
