There is a legendary treasure in Korloff jewelry house – a famous black diamond.
Huge and very clear black diamonds of unusual cutting is called Korloff Noir. They say it has magic properties. It brings luck to those who saw it at least once. But those who managed to touch it and even hold this amazing solitaire in hands will live with luck to the end of their life.

The unique 88 K stone is the biggest black diamond in the world. It was found in Siberia and belonged to a noble Russian family. Soon after revolution it was taken abroad.
In 40-es of XX century the family sold it to a dealer. The diamond changed hands and as legends says the grandfather of Daniel Paillasseur became the stone's owner for a while. They say Daniel fall in love with the stone and when he grew up he bought it. In 1978 he founded his own jewelry house and named it after the stone – Korloff. The legends says the diamond brings luck to those who touch it but even Mr. Paillasseur makes it seldom and when touches – only in gloves.
The Korloff jewelry house is presented in 35 countries in the world.

In jewelry pieces design elaboration takes part Daniel Paillasseur and his son Olivier – the company's and family business successor.
All the jewels are worked up by hand. Of course there are some technological secrets how they create collections of the highest quality and impeccable style.

Black and white colors continue to be the main trend of 2007. In general trends in accessories remain impressive – huge dark glasses, thick shoes, very wide and huge bags – all these attracts attention in 2007. In majority of cases jewels and adornments serve as the finisher but not a center of the whole fashion outfit.
Diamonds can be left in jewelry boxes this season. But on the other hand rightly chosen jewel for a special occasion can help you look great.
Massive adornments will look great with elegant clothing of various shapes and colors, shorts and amazing lacy shirts.
Short chains, earrings-rings and bracelets are among the most popular adornments in 2007. The most important in fashion jewelry is individuality and movement.
Consumers need jewelry pieces that can be worn day and night or can be worn in a different way creating its own unique style.
For example these are super long necklaces with diamonds, pearl or precious stones insertions. Women wear them combining with other chains or as bracelets. but the most boldest fashion ladies wear them as belts.
That means universality in everything. Universality gives a consumer a chance to have a set of jewelry pieces that can be combined or worn in different ways instead of having only one jewelry piece to wear for a very special occasion only.
Long and short chains often with pendants and medallions will look better with wider clothing such as bouffant skirts etc. they help to accentuate clothing made of velvet, taffeta and brocade.
Bracelets are very important this season. As for dark and capricious stones, deep purple, red and of course black are great in combination with platinum and other white metals. Another color spectrum is gems of blue and green color spectrum that look especially gorgeous with yellow and pink gold.
They often use colorful gems to create jewels but the most fashionable color spectrum is black-and-white clothing and jewelry pieces. Such a combination is especially gorgeous if combined with black diamonds and platinum.
Romantic elements including flowers, arrows and hearts are very popular as designs for jewels. They look great on laces. But jewelry pieces gain the advantage if they have unusual color and bold design.
For those who are looking for amazing design the main topic of 2007 design is geometric shapes that are incarnated in medallions, bracelets and rings.

What a Ring Can Tell About? | May 15, 2007 |
In ancient times rings were considered to be not just adornments but talismans and even magic attributes. That is why one of the most important events in every person's life is wedding when a couple gives each other a ring. Great magicians thought that every finger symbolizes particular qualities that is why a ring put on a particular finger can make those properties more intensive.
Do you think that it is a superstition? You are wrong in this case. Present day psychologists and other specialists think that the way a person usually wears a ring can tell a lot about his/her mood, character and even intentions.
You can judge about these qualities from the first sight. So if a ring is put on:
Thumb
It means that a person is very emotional and with a huge energy. Being irritated such a person can tell a lot of unpleasant things. It is a waste of time trying to convince him/her of something. By the way the ring owner subconsciously understands this that is why tries to control his/her ardent temperament. Do not be afraid of such a person – he/she tries to find a common ground with those around and make the communication more harmonious.
Index Finger
A ring on this finger says that its owner is a very shy and indecisive person. Having difficulties while communication he/she can easily be controlled. But putting a ring on index finger he/she gets self-confidence and even strives for leadership. A person who comes to a date having a ring on index finger is ready to conquer and has the most serious intentions.
Middle Finger
As a rule people wear family adornments to accentuate relationship with ancestors. Such a ring makes thinking more frivolous and makes the influence of destiny not so evident. Meeting such a person be sure that he/she has a huge spiritual power. And if he/she comes to meet you (at least for him/her) is a destiny.
Third finger
A jewelry piece on this finger (except a wedding one) indicates passion for beauty, refined objects and luxury. If a person always wears a ring on this finger he/she strives for pleasures and nice emotions. With it he/she is a romantic.
Little Finger
It shows changeability of nature, selfishness and frivolity. Moreover it shows passion for gambling and constant readiness to flirt. Do not wait anything good from a person who comes to date with you with a ring on little finger. But of course there can be exceptions to the rule – so be careful and attentive!
If you see a person whose fingers are full of rings, it can confuse you. Don't be afraid – you meet a very interesting personality though not self-confident one. Probably it is namely you who has to help him/her to believe in himself/her self.
Fashion Bijouterie | Apr 15, 2007 |
As it is well known accessories and bijouterie are a great mean to create your own style. It is rather easy to copy clothing but bijouterie and jewels especially hand made almost impossible. Moreover stylists say that new alternative bijouterie is in fashion this season. It gives the possibility to realize even the boldest fantasies. And despite time regress, eclectics and brightly expressed ethnic motives summer bijouterie looks very fresh, creative and striking.
It happens sometimes that a fashion lady cannot choose something appropriate among a wide variety of pendants, bracelets, chains the stores are full of. But nevertheless it is necessary to remember two main summer bijouterie tendencies that the leading Parisian stylists define.
The first tendency is inspired by African influence with slight ethnic motives. This bijouterie should look as if it hand-made. But in the majority of cases it is really so. It can be multicolored stones, corals, shells very originally and beautifully combined.
The second tendency can be called coquette girl: bows, ribbons, pearls that are harmoniously combined with the summer style Chique Elite.
Also a trust-worthy bijouterie will remain relevant this summer. These jewels look childish a little and can be made of different materials. As a result a vintage style appears.
There are a lot of bijouterie of this kind in famous brands collections such as Dior, Channel, Prada, Louis Vuitton and others. By the way designers use such materials as plastic and unbelievable colors.
Remember that the most important criteria in bijouterie is creativeness. The most interesting and wide spread is vintage style that is popular all around the world.
If earlier they considered bijouterie a toy and an obligatory addition to clothing nowadays it becomes more personal. A simple chain is combined with feather, ribbons, wooden beads and textile. Even a classic string of pearls becomes very up-to-date if worn with an original necklace.
Fresh Approach to Elegance | Feb 22, 2007 |
When I thought for the first time about original jewelry watches, I had several famous brands in my mind. It is true that the very first names that come to your mind are those, so to say, in sight. Well, you know a certain list appeared in my memory and I'm sure it is more or less known to everyone, even to those who are not aware of watch brands at all, yet know the names of the renowned fashion houses.
However, well-known brands are familiar already, while I felt like learning something new, something fresh in the field of jewelry timepieces. And I discovered one. Its name is Roger Dubuis. Besides it is a name of the Company, it is also the name of its leading watch master inspiring most of the new ideas and designer's solutions. He develops and creates fresh, unforgettable designs for his timepieces. Roger Dubuis is one of the great Swiss watch masters.
Long story of success
Roger Dubuis name implies a long story of success, not just because renowned Roger Dubuis watches are so successful for quite a long time, yet because it took the master a lot of time to get recognition. After Roger Dubuis graduated from Swiss Horology School (as a star-pupil), he was just twenty when he got his first employment. During the following twenty years he worked intensively at different positions for the great watch manufactures of Geneva. Thus, he became a master specialized on the complicated watch movements.
Independence
Roger Dubuis became independent in 1980 when he opened his own small repair workshop, while he was receiving the orders for developing and creating watch movement details. Quite soon, Roger Dubuis was considered to be a specialist capable to solve very unusual problems. So, Geneva designers, helpless to some extent, haunted his workshop's threshold providing him with numerous orders.
Carlos Dias
He would still have been pulling chestnuts out of the fire for somebody, if he hadn't found himself in Carlos Dias's atelier. In 1995 Roger Dubuis together with Carlos Dias started producing their first own timepieces. Dias' good connections with the renowned watch collectors contributed to the fast Company's advancement.
Personal and unique
Roger Dubuis admits that they weren't ready for a series production, but their customers, as a matter of fact, felt like getting original, personal and unique watches. I read that one of the customers said something like: 'When I imagine I can meet a person wearing the same watch as mine in the first class of the airplane, it inspires me with awe'. So you can imagine that Roger Dubuis watches are unique indeed.
To tell you about a specific watch, I'd choose a Roger Dubuis watch from Too Much collection. This timepiece is a great ladies watch. Here is the marriage of genius and simplicity.
To mark the new century, Roger Dubuis brand, moved by an avant-garde spirit, has been inspired by its last collection Too Much to mark the turn of the new century in a single movement with the highly original Too Much collection.
The watches from the collection are presented in different sizes and stand out due to the nobility of their parts, the exclusive design of their cases, as well as the darling use of a harmoniously curved elongated rectangular shape.
Speaking about design characteristics of the Too Much watch, I can't help mentioning it is made of 18 karat satin rose polished gold, while its dial is of white mother-of-pearl color. A certain chic is added by the delicately contrasting with the dial's background rose gold applied Paris numerals.
The strap of Too Much watch is a mild grey double-stripe calf skin which forms a perfect combination with a mother-of-pearl dial and four dim gold numerals. Blued hour and minute hands seem to be a flourish of a great watch master.
Another beautiful detail worth of attention is a sapphire back enabling its wearer to observe the movement of the watch.
Of course, this watch is not an exception from the rest of Roger Dubuis timepieces being a part of another watch collection limited to 28 pieces.
Jewellery Pieces Can Tell a Lot about Your Sexuality! | Jan 29, 2007 |
Not many people know that adornments not only tell a lot about the tastes of their wearer but can indicate what kinds of sexual experiences live in their minds. For example one and the same chain can signify different things depending on the place it is worn. As for ring for example, everything depends on the finger it is worn on.
Rings and Fingers
Every ring has its own special meaning. The fourth finger is the most sensual and sentimental. That is why they use it to wear a wedding ring on. That is why if another ring is put on there it is necessary to look how it looks like. If it is small with indefinite decorative trimmings, then it means that its wearer doesn't have a definite position toward love behavior with her partner. If the ring strikes the eye by its froufrou, big size then a woman who wears it is a hysterical personality who prefers getting love more than giving. The type of her sexuality is active; in bed she loves diversity and exotics.
A woman who adores big, bright rings and wears them on a middle finger often has troubles in love affairs. Such personalities don't like to meet half-way, they are imperious and impatient.
An indicating finger means will-power and initiative. Those women who love wearing rings on them involuntary show that they are leaders in their nature. They can even be too self-confident. They are not angels in sex and adore demonstrating their skills and body.
People who claim to social importance wear rings on their little finger. They are often considered to be public people especially in art and creative work fields. But if a person wears several rings of intricate and original design on a little finger, you can be certain that that person is an aesthet in everything and in sex as well. Such a person strives to get as much as possible sensual feelings during her life.
Chains and Ankles
Liberated people without complexes like wearing chains on their ankles. A lady who like wearing a chain around her belly is probably light-headed and doesn't take problems in a serious way. She likes to be in the center of everybody's attention.
A big chain around a neck and especially several different chains say about two-faced or even three-faced nature, about the "mess" in the inner world.
Moreover, such people can easily have several sex partners at the same time without remorse. But at the same time they dream of ideal personal life with the single "Prince Charming".
Why We Adorn Ourselves
It turns out that we show our intimate secrets by adorning ourselves in a particular way. Those who like bijouterie made of inexpensive materials but originally made and of small size strive for security. These are people who are able to value beauty but not the price of the item. They treat love and sex the same way. They don't need entourage. The deepness of feeling and real pleasure are important for them.
Expensive materials are bought to show not only yourself but those around your own importance in society and the tight-filled purse.
That is the reason in case a person prefers expensive but small and refined ring or chain; she wants to achieve refinement in everything - feelings manifestation, candles, lace etc.
The third group of jewels lover can be called "aggressors." These people like external attributes that irritate attention both in clothing and jewellery pieces.
For example they like different tusks hanging on laces, reverberating bracelets, shoulder-length earrings.
This is a provocation of those around, a desire to be in the center of everybody's attention.
They strive to achieve the following effect - to turn on people. Sex for such people is with hot passions where bed is a battle-field.
Those who elegantly combine jewels and clothing, are able to create their own style, know their type of appearance and adorn themselves accordingly are close to ideal of harmony and beauty correspondence.
De Grisogono - Gorgeous Jewels | Jan 23, 2007 |
The founder of a Swiss brand de Grisogono Fawaz Gruosi - an Italian by origin - is well known as one of the greatest jewelers of today.
There are royal family members and Hollywood stars among his clients. He is called "the jeweler for whom there's nothing impossible."
The jewellery House de Grisogono greatly differs from others not less famous and popular jewellery pieces' creators. It's different at least by the fact that it doesn't have long-standing traditions and a long history. It exists just for 10 years. Just imagine the company has become world known during such a short period of time!
Till the time he opened his jewellery house, he had been creating haute couture jewellery pieces for a long period of time. He arranged a great number of jewellery expositions attracting a great number of wealthy clients. And only discovering for himself in 1996 black diamonds that have made him famous the real history of the House began.
Gruosi has all grounds to affirm that de Grisogono style is well recognizable. These are bright and unusual things that always have something impudent and provoking.
Gruosi uses mystically sparkling black diamonds and exotic skate leather, combines baroque style with high-tech, incrusts funny animal and birds figures with precious stones.
Probably you know that Ericsson cell phones embellished with de Grisogono black diamonds made a real splash! That time the collaboration of jewelry business with high technologies has begun.
Just imagine among extravagant jewelry pieces it's possible to find handcuffs with white and black diamonds, a bra made of silver and spread with diamonds and a lot of other things.
Several years ago Gruosi has become interested in watch business and now de Grisogono House has seven watch collections among which is a famous model Instrumento UNO.
The House's clients love luxury but deeply appreciate individuality and real beauty of the item.
Gruosi generously decorates his jewelry pieces with black and snow-white diamonds and believe me nobody will remain unnoticed wearing gorgeous de Grisogono jewels.
I must confess that I've just visited De Grisogono official site. So what can I say? How to describe you my impressions? There's only one appropriate word - WOW!!!!
The jewels are so great and beautiful that you immediately want to have them. And not just one but all of them existed…Yeah such a greedy creature I am…Actually I don't think I'm greedy, I'm just full of emotions and pleasant feelings. It's always great to look at real works of art, agree?
Patek Philippe - Art Deco Watches | Jan 19, 2007 |
First glance
When I'm looking at any Patek Philippe watch, I realize that it is a piece of art. Especially it is true for Patek Philippe jewelry timepieces. I was recently asked why Patek Philippe was considered to be one of the best watch companies in the world. The answer is both simple and obvious.
Haut monde
Being one of the oldest, most reliable and prestigious companies, Patek Philippe unites classical traditions of watchmaking and daring innovations. Despite the fact that Patek Philippe timepieces can not be regarded as moderately expensive, it is almost every business lady or a haut monde dame who aspires to have a Patek Philippe watch at her disposal.
It is a general idea that prestigious world brands are mostly oriented for man's watches, almost taking no notice to the vast range of women's timepieces. Well, perhaps, it was so some 50 years ago, however the situation has been changed over the years. Now, each eminent brand finds it natural to produce women's watches within a volume relative to the men's one.
Your Art Deco Gondola watch
The Patek Philippe's Gondola collection serves as a proof of the above said. This collection was launched in 1993 and became a modern interpretation of Patek Philippe's Art Deco Style.
This is another evidence for Patek Philippe's desire to manufacture watches taking their place in the company's heritage. The Gondola collection was named after the famous Brazilian retailer "Gondolo and Labouriau" and manufactured by Patek Philippe in 1930.
All occasions watch
Patek Philippe's lady's "Twenty 4" watch which was launched in 1999 was a contemporary interpretation of Gondolo watch. It is targeted for an active, modern woman who needs a wristwatch reflecting her own style. This watch represents excellence in craftsmanship and its case silhouette is a tender touch for a wrist of a woman.
One of the few
Let me tell you sincerely, Gondolo collection watches simply stirred my imagination. These are the best lady's timepieces that I saw for the recent time. Delicate mild lines, sophisticated mechanic movements and sparkling brilliants leave the unforgettable impression.
They say there are three companies considered to be main ones: Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe. One of three. It's not just the style that strikes you when you see Patek Philippe jewelry timepieces. It's a history, style and reliability. Three in one.
Patek Philippe Gondola collection. Choose your superiority.
