Seemingly cut from a fifties artistic motion picture, the Infinity Necklace brings about a feeling of femininity that has an eternal touch to it. Eternity and infinity are, on the other hand, the central themes of the design. A most modern and breath-taking piece of fine jewellery, the Infinity Necklace is a modular construction, a showcase of 14 aquamarine drops that weigh a staggering 598,11 carats.

     The Infinity Necklace is quite big on aquamarines, but, at the same time, it displays an equally fair amount of diamonds. A considerable and 12.14 carats of round, brilliant cut diamonds pave the white gold setting. The tear drops of light blue hue of the aquamarines go perfectly with the fiery sparkles of the finely cut diamonds mounted on the infinite-like links of the necklace.

     The Infinity Necklace draws its name not only from the deep. Clear blue color of the aquamarines, but also from the shapes of the links that come between the large, transparent gemstones. These links resemble the mathematical symbol of the infinite. Therefore, it would be only fair to say that wearing the Infinity Necklace will most certainly offer its owner a feeling of infinity and timelessness, altogether.

     The Infinity Necklace is also guaranteed to be one of the jewels that stay as beautiful and sought after in one hundred years, as they were in the season they were launched. Oversized gemstones appear to manifest a special attraction for women all over the world, and of all ages.

     After taking a good look at the Infinity Necklace it would be fair to say that the talented Emanuela Burgener has managed to draw our attention once again, in a most fortunate way. Her incessant investment in the Margherita Burgener brand is understandable and justified if we are to look into the company’s recent history. Her father founded the business in the 20th century and she decided to rename the legacy she had been passed onto in 2003, as a celebration of her daughter’s birth.

     What makes Michelle della Valle such a sought after designer is his ability of satisfying both his young and more mature public. He excels in creating jewels that allow a certain amount of dreams being weaved around them. Among those remarkable jewels that have a connection to the past as strong as that to the future is the ‘Homage à Dürer’ brooch. A delightful symphony of tsavorite garnets, amethysts and diamonds, this piece of timeless jewellery makes any outfit a memorable one.

     The ‘Homage à Dürer’ brooch boasts nothing less than a mere 4.00 carats of round, brilliant cut diamonds, a considerable amount of amethysts, tsavorite garnets and just the right sprinkling of yellow diamonds. The precious gemstones stand for a delicate bunch of violets. The freshness of the design and the supreme craftsmanship that went into the creation of this piece make the ‘Homage à Dürer’ brooch a one of a kind apparition on the high jewellery market.

     The ‘Homage à Dürer’ brooch is no cheap thrill though. It promises to make a majestic entrance into your lives and inventories for a sum as memorable as its gorgeous looks and refined looks. While a jeweler might estimate this piece anywhere between 50,000 and 70,000 US Dollars you should be well aware of the fact that the brooch is worth more than 77,000 US Dollars. If you want to be sure to take it home you should easily have 80,000 USD in your wallet, pocket or account.

     The implications of wearing this brooch are much more significant than with other, more “common” pieces. Albrecht Durer, whose surname is mentioned in the ‘Homage à Dürer’ brooch was a Northern Renaissance painter, as well as a theorist, and is regarded to this day as one of the epoch’s most prominent and impressive figures. His watercolors have left a whole world in awe and have stirred much controversy and discussion. Therefore, this rich amount of legendary talent is what you should get in case you buy the ‘Homage à Dürer’ brooch. The reference to a poignant artistic figure of the 16th century and a feast on the eyes of the contemporary art lover.

     When William Asprey opened his silk printing business in London more than two hundred years ago he probably did not imagine that his name would come to be taken down the history line with such honour and become famous worldwide. The first attempts of opening new roads for the Asprey business were given shape in the 1800’s. The venture with different associates came and went away, but the expansion of their interest in the metal arts was to be the root of the present jewellery success the brand has registered.

     The Asprey Pink Diamond Ring is part of the High Jewellery section in the Asprey catalogue. A fine example of craftsmanship and professional mastery, this remarkable piece of jewellery is here to steal the hearts and eyes of the beholders.

     If you are on the look out for the nicest make up gift, or maybe even an engagement ring, search no further. Any girl would feel lucky and loved when being presented with such an exquisite and refined ring. The Asprey Pink Diamond Ring might be outrageously pricy, but it is sure to sweep even the most exigent lady off her feet.

     This special piece of jewellery identified as the Asprey Pink Diamond Ring cannot be acquired without a direct appointment, because just like any other piece of High Jewellery its value and importance go far beyond the simple gesture of writing a cheque.

     Equipped with a staggering 6.07 carat purplish diamond as the centerpiece, the Asprey Pink Diamond Ring promises to deliver glamour and in so doing engages another consistent stash of diamonds. The two pear shaped diamonds that flank the fancy radiant cut star of the Asprey Pink Diamond Ring are sustained by other brilliant cut, round diamonds paving the rest of the ring.

     If we are to take into consideration the materials used in the design of this rare ring, we have to mention the fact that the purple-pink radiant cut diamond is mounted in pink gold, while the rest of the colourless diamonds are set in platinum. The four C’s that we are to take into account when discussing the value of a diamond may well be mentioned here, since the fancy pink diamond weighing 6.07 carats also boasts a VS1 clarity, which is considered to be present in top quality diamonds, all the more we are dealing with a fancy diamond.

     Having been launched in the late twentieth century, the Margerita Burgener brand has not always been known under its present day’s name. The founder of the company was Margherita’s grandfather who was an adventurous and intrepid businessman roaming the corners of the world in search of precious and unique gemstones which he thereafter sold to different goldsmiths.

     After having worked with the likes of such famous brands as Bulgari, the forefather of the nowadays brand was advised to go into business himself. With the talent and eye he had developed during his years as a gemstone trader he managed to begin a business as flourishing as could be.

     In 2003 his daughter, who gave birth to Margherita Burgener, decided to celebrate her daughter by renaming the brand and setting its long term goals on success and re-invention. Looking at the recent collection anyone can see that the goal has been achieved.

     The Ellisi Ring is part of a saga based on grand ideas that give direction to the Margherita Burgener modern and recent jewellery lines. The unusual shape of the ring as well as its cosmic look combine the beauty of a simple adornment with the complexity of thought that the designer has already gotten us accustomed to.

     Two diamond paved vines part and meet, revolving in several circles and spirals around the huge Burmese peridot that constitutes the center element of the creation. It is a beauty which speaks of orbits and the Burmese peridot suddenly becomes the sun, the core which infers meaning to the entire construction, and to the notion of beauty and luxury itself. The Ellisi Ring is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to lavish, self indulging jewellery.

     If you want to take the beautiful Ellisi Ring home you would better start saving and cutting on those ice-cream supplies and designer paraphernalia, because this baby is sure to worth something close to an arm and a leg.

     Della Valle creates beautiful pieces who speak to young and old, alike, having a wide range of age groups as his fans. There are more classical approaches to be found in his lines, and those are usually exhibits that display an amazing amount of craftsmanship and professionalism.

     If you are a lover of sumptuous colored gems and you ever feel the yearning of a lavish piece of jewellery, here is one name you should bear in mind: Michelle della Valle. We take this opportunity, today, to let you in on one of the loveliest pairs of earrings we have come across. The Michele della Valle Emerald and Sapphire Ear Clips are a sight for sore eyes. The round and romantic curves of these gourmand looking pieces of sweet green have a special appeal to them.

     The Michele della Valle Emerald and Sapphire Ear Clips speak of timeless beauty and bring their charm from days long gone, it seems. The 18 karat white gold used for the jewels has been treated as to blacken it, creating a special effect of aging and noblesse. Two huge emeralds are shaped as cabochons and placed at the core of the creations. The total weight of the emeralds is of approximately 169.55 carats. To complement them, four rounded leaves that hold the central emerald in place. The four semispheres are paved with round shaped sapphires.

     Michelle della Valle has issued a remarkable piece of luxury jewellery with the creation of the Michele della Valle Emerald and Sapphire Ear Clips. The clips can be worn in a variety of occasions, as they are both glamorous and extremely feminine. They go absolutely perfect with a boho chic style, as well as being marvelously appropriate for a cocktail or a very exquisite event.

     The estimated starting price for the Michele della Valle Emerald and Sapphire Ear Clips would be somewhere around 18,000 American dollars. But, since the jewels are so gorgeously designed, and display such large emeralds, it would have been easy to suspect that the starting price, as well of the maximum estimated, for that matter, would be fairly easily overbid. This pair of ear clips started their evaluation from 18,000 and had this as a first price; you can only imagine how many people yearned to have them since they managed to fly to over 71,000 American Dollars in just one session.

     From Asprey’s current High Jewellery collection we introduce today the Asprey Colored Diamond Flower Four Petal Ring, a representative piece of art in itself, and a precious fancy colored diamond ring that will spellbound any lady across the world.

     Asprey is nowadays synonymous with style, English values and the English spirit in its most authentic manifestations. The Asprey Colored Diamond Flower Four Petal Ring becomes therefore an evocative example of fine English taste and timeless classiness.

     What the Asprey Colored Diamond Flower Four Petal Ring brings to the bewildered eye of the beholder is a smooth combination of white and fancy diamonds which come together in the form of a flower on a delicate platinum ring paved with round, brilliant cut diamonds.

     A central white diamond of round shape and brilliant cut stands at the core of the flower and brings 0.25 carat in the service of glamorous beauty. Its other white counterpart is represented by a 1.02 carat petal. Three fancy diamonds of blue, pink and orange colours make the rest of the flower petals, each displaying fiery and vivid colours that appeal to the eye and stir the imagination. The blue diamond weighs 0.74 carat, the orange petal 1.50 carat while the pink petal weighs 0.71 carats.

     This is the incredible Asprey Colored Diamond Flower Four Petal Ring. It is sure to bring light and energy to any outfit and make all women feel special on condition they wear it. The craftsmanship implied by the making of such a unique piece of high jewellery is great. The care and attention to detail which have been put into the making of this beautiful ring are easily spotted if we observe that the orange diamond is fixed with yellow gold fangs, to go with its hue, while the other three petals are mounted in platinum, just like the rest of the ring.

     Each petal of the Asprey Colored Diamond Flower Four Petal Ring is bordered by a row of delicately paved diamonds and the exterior of the ring also appears to be paved with fine brilliant cut white diamonds.

     The Fireworks Set is named after the inspiration that drove Emanuela Burgener in creating it. The ‘fireworks’ are obvious in the structure of the necklace and consist of short, delicate stems springing from the base line of the necklace. Before taking the pieces of the set in turn, mention should be made that all the jewellery baring the Margherita Burgener name are handcrafted and every single detail is handled manually.

     The impressive aquamarines (approximately 100 carats, by a visual, inexpert-eye) that the earrings showcase in the shape of tears look so lavish and gorgeous that they simply must be worn with more boho chic outfits, other than the red carpet getups that we are used to see them associated with. The Fireworks Set holds its dreamy feeling alive by the size and special shape found in its aquamarine gemstones. The necklace too has to corresponding tear-shaped elements, very similar in shape and size with the earrings.

     Be the earrings interesting as they may, the most remarkable member of the set is, by far, the necklace. Comprising five aquamarines of legendary dimensions, the necklace is probably set with more than 300 carats of pure, light blue splendid gemstones. The Fireworks Set boasts a total of 426.10 carats aquamarines weight. The stones are cut in oval and tear shapes and are surrounded by the rich ‘fireworks’ effect created by the diamond paved structure.

     A generous amount of round, brilliant cut diamonds embellish the fantasy brought to light by the Fireworks Set. The diamonds are mounted on 18 carat white gold and weigh a total of 27.51 carats. Having become a trait, this extensive use of ‘humongous’ gemstones is one of the Margherita Burgener immediately recognizable traits. Her love for colored gemstones of simply amazing dimensions is very much in keeping with the brands genuine spirit, a spirit that stood at the roots of the classy designs we see in the Margherita Burgener boutiques these days.

     The Italian founder of the business, Emanuela Burgener’s father, had worked with many famous goldsmiths before opening his own shop. He used to be a gemstone trader and his interest and talent of discovering unusual, rare and beautiful gemstones would become part and parcel of his business.

     Among the many breath-taking jewels launched by Michele della Valle is the Ruby and Diamond Bib Necklace. The Michele della Valle brand has been offering a wide variety of high jewellery creations appropriate for the red carpet usage, and not only. One thing is clear though, wherever and however it may be worn, the Ruby and Diamond Bib Necklace is no casual item. Its stunning amount of rubies and diamonds make it a very exclusive necklace and, just like many other objects from its class, it requires special attention when handling and wearing.

     The Ruby and Diamond Bib Necklace proves, from the very first glance, that the people from Michele della Valle have been anything but short on rubies when conceiving and assembling this piece. The necklace shows amazing craftsmanship and technical mastery. A close look at its weavings display a four strain starting point from which the richness of the ‘bib’ develops. The four initial rows of rubies are multiplied and mingled with, as to create the impression of delicate spring flowers on an exotic necklace.

     The cut of the rubies varies and is fancifully combined with the round, brilliant cut diamonds that constitute the core of the fragile flowers ‘beaded’ on the canvas of rubies. The whole ensemble is mounted on a massive 15 inches 18 karat gold setting.

     The Ruby and Diamond Bib Necklace may be a special piece of jewellery, but its good looks will leave a pretty significant trace in your pockets. The amount of cash you will have to transfer from your bank account can go anywhere from 70,000 US Dollars to 80,000 USD. And this shall only happen if you are in luck. Since there is so much technical input and such a huge amount of very precious and costly gemstones adorn the necklace, the price should seem only fair. Nevertheless, the Ruby and Diamond Bib Necklace reminds us that some things are only for the privileged few, namely the rich, and eventually famous.

     A lucky and unusual combination of fancy colored diamonds and delicate pave diamonds, the Fancy Colored Diamond Cluster Earrings bring together that old school glamour and the necessary touch of creative energy specific to any contemporary design.

     Fourteen superb fancy colored diamonds are joined in a symphony of shapes, colors and hues to evoke a most fortunate precious cluster which could easily be taken for an asymmetrical flower. The total weight of the fancy diamonds is of 15.56 carats and it is complimented by a staggering 321 brilliant cut white pave diamonds which total 1.20 carats in weight.

     Just like all the Asprey creations, the Fancy Colored Diamond Cluster Earrings are mounted in platinum, which is known to be the most precious and noblest metal of all. An array of orange, yellow, pink, blue, brown, greenish and terracotta come together in unusual shapes and demonstrate that fine jewellery can be created from precious gemstones of all colours and shapes, on condition the craftsmanship involved in the making of the pieces is one of the highest standards.

     The Fancy Colored Diamond Cluster Earrings take us un a journey through the royal gardens and treasures of the United Kingdom. Since Asprey has been appointed Crown jeweler for eight years (starting with 1998 to 2006), they have had enough time to appreciate and internalize the classical and amazing talent implied by the making and design of the Crown Jewells.

     The honor of being Crown Jeweller, and taking care of the maintenance of the Royal Jewellery has left a most positive and fortunate imprint on the style and design of Asprey’s High Jewelry line. The technical work underwent by each piece is extreme and the simplicity, refinement and strength of each piece make each of the High Jewellery pieces items to deserve a life and story of their own.

     The Italian luxury goods brand that we shall take a look at with this article is Margherita Burgener. Her stunning creations make her one of the prominent names on the luxury jewellery market in Italy and from all over the world. While the debate on whether contemporary jewellery should be about precious materials or the pleasure to wear them continues, Margherita Burgener has found a wonderful way to embrace quality and fresh, elegant design in her latest collections.

     The Afrodite Set is yet another one of her breath-taking releases from the modern, gemstones line. The femininity of the pink combination among gold and kunzite, sprinkled with just a delicate touch of round, brilliant-cut diamonds brings forth a visionary designer as well as a most intrepid businesswoman, able to decide what it is that women all over the planet love and yearn for.

     If we talk of Afrodite than beauty is the first word that comes to mind. Seeing the Afrodite Set we realize that this legendary beauty evoked by the mythical goddess is to be found in Emanuela Burgener’s designs.

     A total of 218.81 carats of kunzite steal the eye and a sprinkling of diamonds on 18 karat rose gold defines the delicate beauty underlying the majestic stature of the four kunzites on the necklace. With oval and tear drop shapes, these intense pink gemstones are representative for genuine femininity and sheer charm.

     The earrings that the Afrodite Set displays are oval shaped and the oval cut kunzites are mounted in rose gold, just like the necklace. They are extremely refined and can be worn with a large number of different clothing styles, as they don’t necessarily require the presence of the necklace as a complementation.
