Oscars might be the top priority of the Celebs but there are other events where jewellery is flaunted with a slight twist and turn.

At Grammy’s this year, long drop earrings were popular, so were gold and diamond ovals. Yellow gold continued to be the hot favorite at the Grammy’s this year. Stacked cuffs and bangles were a favorite again.

At the Goya’s vintage jewellery was the theme that most of the women carried.

SAG awards were about the bracelets this year. Styles were all over the place, from delicate diamonds and pearl cuffs to chunky jewellery.

So you have a wide variety to choose from.

It's a crisp, cool night here in Arlington, Virginia, but really lovely, clear and cloudless with stars which you can see despite the lights of Washington and the surrounding city. I do love it here on the top floor looking out across the cities; it's a great place for a studio! Now, if I can get some work done, I'll be doing really well! If you live in the free world, you probably know that I am a first time grandmother - and a very lucky one at that. It's not just that my new grand-daughter is healthy, beautiful, clever (yes, I can already tell!), but I actually get to spend time with her and with my daughter-in-law, a rare treat since we have never lived in the same city before. They are usually very, very far away. I find it inspirational, and although I'm still behind in my work, I'm working much harder and will be caught up soon. The excitement of being in a place I love and with people I love makes me work more efficiently; I want to make the most of every moment.
So far, I haven't made a lot of jewelry since I've been catching up on orders, but I did make a couple of labradorite bracelets that you see above and below. I've gotten in some new coral, tourmalines, and a lot of sapphires that I will be working with soon. The two labradorite bracelets will have prices on them soon, I promise!



Meanwhile, enjoy the beautiful days!

It’s for all you people who love being glamorous and who want to do things celebrity style. Forget the cars, houses, wardrobe and pets for a while. Jewelry is the best option to be glamorous. It’s fascinating how a stone can add a bling to your entire outfit or let me say your personality. More and more celebrities are opting to buy jewelry rather than buying expensive cars and clothes which can go out of fashion. Jewelry is one thing that never goes out of fashion. It can be passed from one generation to the other. It’s the new investment for the celebrities.
