Really smitten with these flirty layered necklaces from Wendy Mink today {I'm wearing the Tangled Pearl Chain today and am in love!} and I'm especially admiring the versatility factor ... I think they would all look equally stunning paired with a simple tee and cardi or a cocktail number ... fabulous bridesmaids gifts, no? Happy shopping! [via classic bride ]

Emeralds are such a wonderful and fascinating gemstone that some can be even more valuable that diamonds. They come in hues from a light almost transparent green to a deep rich intense and radiant green.
Emeralds have been used since ancient times, in fact the early scriptures of India mentions the healing properties of emeralds in the Vedas. The Incas of Central America also regarded the emerald as a holy gemstone.

Rubies are the gemstone variety of red corundum, the same mineral that is sapphire in any other colour. As such, they have a hardness equal to that of sapphires (9) and their resistance to chipping and scratching makes them the ideal choice for use in jewellery. Rubies are one of the most expensive gemstones available today and are mined in Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Vietnam, China, Afghanistan, Kenya and Tanzania. A number of ruby characteristics should be examined before purchasing a ruby:

am so happy to have found these stunning necklaces from American designer Elva Fields via the Shelter Interior Design blog. I absolutely adore them! Owner/designer Emily scours flea markets and auctions for unusual vintage and antique pieces and reconfigures them into beautiful jewellery. They would make such a statement with a simple, strapless wedding dress [via Wedding Style Guide ]

The Asprey Protector Collection is declined in various shapes: silver baby spoons, rings, earrings, bracelets. If you’re ready to buy your baby a $525 silver baby snake spoon, Asprey by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is the name for you! Of course, one could always think about Angelina’s Alexander performance and feel the chills down the spine when seeing her act with snakes.

Well instead of black out, perhaps it would be wiser to say blackin, cause all I see is black! I thought I'd have a little fun on Polyvore and bring back some darkness in all this colorful stones and jewels, after all, what is more seductive than black?

No, we are not giving any awards because we just can't decide what from who, instead we're just going to drool over the lavish jewelry that celebs wore this year to the Golden Globes event.
What better way to add a splash of color than with an eye-catching piece like this from Van Cleef & Arpels.
The open neckline of Beyonce's Elie Saab gown provided the perfect setting for her Lorraine Schwartz collar.
Debra Messing chose multiple designers on Globes night. She wore Fred Leighton earrings and a Cartiercuff among her stacked bracelets.
Presenter Kate Beckinsale framed her face with red spinel and diamond danglers from Fred Leighton.
Julia Roberts accented her black ensemble with a vintage sautoir from Van Cleef & Arpels. The necklace's exquisite pendant comprised of 29 citrines and diamonds set in 18-carat yellow gold.
To include a splash of color with her white strapless Jasmine De Milo gown, Kristen Bell chose a Van Cleef & Arpels Folie de Pres necklace made of blue sapphires and diamonds.
Presenter Jennifer Garner added extra sparkle to her shimmering Versace gown with a 1970s diamond bracelet from Bulgari's Vintage Archive Collection.
House M.D. star Olivia Wilde wowed onlookers when she paired her gunmetal Gucci gown with a black onyx and diamond fan bangle from Tiffany & Co.
Queen Victoria star Emily Blunt lit up both wrists in matching blackened platinum cuffs by Lorraine Schwartz. The bracelets' champagne, pink and lemon-colored diamonds popped against her soft pink tulle Dolce & Gabbana dress.
The dazzling pear-shaped and diamond-rimmed emerald Bulgari earrings chosen by Best Actress nominee Julianne Moorebrought out the glimmer in her own green eyes.
To complete her dark, smoldering look,Courteney Cox chose a pair of blackened gold and black sapphire earrings from Ofira Schwartz.
Modern Family's Julie Bowen finished her look with an swept-up 'do and a pair of gorgeous embellished onyx earrings from House of Lavande.
Less is definitely more in the case of Marion Cotillard, the French actress who managed to steal our hearts and dazzle us all; wearing Chopard diamonds that complement oh so well the single-shoulder satin Christian Dior design.
We were stunned and jealous of the celebs' glittering looks, but it's time to get back to reality.
