Diamonds & Engagement Rings News

All attention was focused on the dazzling, Vanessa Williams, who had brightened the red carpet with the Itay Malkin Jewelry on her while at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards.

The jewelry she was modeling included diamond drop earrings that were a contemporary balance of baguette and emerald cut diamonds, combined with pink and yellow diamonds. The total weight was 12.36-carats set into shining 18-carats white gold. Her bracelet was a fine and beautiful piece of petite, princess-cut diamond rows of 72-carat total weight, set in platinum that suited her customized Kevan Hall printed dress with a mermaid figure of complete perfection.

This has not been Malkin’s first time on the red carpet. Just last week Kim Cattrall wore a stylish pair of black diamond cluster earrings to the DVD premiere of Sex and The City on Thursday, September 18. On the same night, Rachael Ray amazed the “Focus: An Evening of Photography to Benefit City Harvest” wearing a set of earrings, necklace and ring from Itay Malkin’s premiere, Black Diamond jewelry collection. Sara Jessica Parker, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Adrian Grenier are other celebrities who have dressed in some of Itay Malkin’s jewelry.

Scintillating Jewels once belonging to Christina Onassis, a Greek shipping inheritor sells for a good $14 million at an auction, Christie’s said today.

The most astounding of the 44 jewels that belonged to Christina Onassis was a pear-shaped 38-carat diamond on a diamond pendant necklace. This glitzy piece of art, aside from the rest of her jewels, sold for $7.5 million.

Christina Onassis had been married and divorced four times, throughout her lifetime. She was born in New York to the shipping magnate, Aristotle Onassis, and took over his empire once he passed away.

Christina died in 1988, at age 37 from fluid in her lungs, a daughter named Athina, behind.

Christina’s collection of jewels was part of a larger jewelry auction, which consisted of 230 rings, necklaces, bracelets, single stones, pearls, and other pieces from jewelers such as Cartier. The jewelry in total brought in a sum of $31 million. The auction had reached a record in any jewelry auction in Britain.

    Though diamonds last forever, what’s a girl to do with them after a breakup or divorce, when it becomes worthless in her eyes?

Just because breakups and divorce rates get higher does not mean the hurt lessens.

After much research, there was a result of no such website that provides in selling eternity bands, engagement rings, and other valuable jewelry from divorced or broken up relationships.

About a few months ago a website was created primarily for that cause. Marie Perry, a writer and actress, and her daughter-in-law, Meghan Perry, formed Exboyfriendjewelry.com.  The website was designed for selling jewelry that lost emotional spark. The site also has a page for women who would like to tell there own story behind the piece of jewelry.

In the past three months many blogs have been written. Launched with the slogan, “Don’t want it. He cant have it back,” and 3,000 registered users, it has been a very successful website.

Many of the stories are not so extreme. Although there are women who are said to come from abusive relationships that have affected them but, are now moving on.

This past April, another website has gone public by two New Orleans students. The website, Ex-cessories.com and its motto, “Don’t Get Mad-Break Even,” offers independent appraisals of jewelry, matches buyers with seller, and provides a shared network.

One of the women on this site comments on her posted diamond ring saying, “Beautiful ring came with the wrong man. Decided to sell to regain the money that I spent finishing payments on the ring that my ex didn’t.”

Did you ever think to yourself where the name tennis bracelets came from, ok here is your answer.

According to Diamondbug it is called a tennis bracelet because in 1987, Chris Evert, the former World No. 1 woman tennis player and the winner of 18 Grand Slam singles titles, was playing in the U.S. Open. She was wearing an elegant, light in-line diamond bracelet, which accidentally broke and the match was interrupted to allow Chris to recover her precious diamonds. The ‘tennis bracelet’ incident sparked a new name for the item and sparked a huge jewelry trend.

We at www.diamondsonfifth.com sell beautiful tennis bracelets from $2000.00 and up.
