Ekart Jewellery

When you think about it – men do not have a whole lot of options in the world for jewelry.  While I know that men … celebrities at least have a lot of choices, they are usually too expensive for the modern man and that is the main reason why men do not buy jewelry.  Well, there are truly a lot of pieces out there that many guys don’t know about and one of them is this stainless steel dog tag.

Dog tags are something that are very in style right now for guys and they are something that are never – ever going to go out of style either.  Personally, I love a guy that wears a silver dog tag; it makes them look a little dangerous and certainly perks my interest a little bit.

If you are looking for dog tags, just look them up online – you can find them pretty much anywhere and they are ever-so-chic!

Have you ever noticed that when you go into a woman’s jewelry box, there are many different styles, many different pieces and all around tons of different accessories?  One of the recent things that I found in my mother’s jewelry box actually was the Veronica 4 Strand Necklace.  This perfect necklace is one that looks so familiar to me yet so new all in the same token.  It is something that is beautiful as well.

The Veronica 4 Strand Necklace is actually multiple stands of shimmering little Czech stones paired with glass beads are what make up this beautiful piece of jewelry.  The shortest strand ranges around 18.5” and the longest strand is about 21”.

The clasp is silver and beautiful and all around, this is a must-have for nighttime activities!  The price is about $138, but it is so worth it!

It is sort of easy to forget that plenty of men like jewelry too. Sometimes the only thing that reminds me to be more gender equal is when I run across a really stunning piece, like this ring by designer Jeff Cooper.

Cooper is based in New York, and has the distinction of being voted the Designer of the Year, courtesy of the Platinum Guild International. Once you have seen his work, it is easy to understand why he earned that title.

Take, for instance, the piece here — the Jeff Cooper Eternal 12 Platinum and Diamond Mens Wedding Band. The six millimeter band features twelve princess cut diamonds with a bevel set, and it is absolutely gorgeous.

Love is eternal; marriage is eternal; fine jewelry is eternal; rings are eternal; and the ring is called Eternal — you do the math!

Charles Krypell is a jewelry designer now, but he used to be a sculptor, and when you look at his pieces, that information really is not surprising. There is an exquisite attention to detail in the jewelry pieces he designs. His jewelry is absolutely timeless with a depth of sophistication.

Take, for instance, the Charles Krypell Diamond and Green Tourmaline Dangle Earrings. These are so absolutely beautiful they just about take my breath away.

The 18k earrongs are two tone gold, and they contain two green tourmaline gems with a honeycomb cushion cut. The aesthetic is extremely innovative while remaining classic, elegant, even somehow graceful.

The tourmaline is 5.78 carats, and the earrings also feature a total of .45 carat worth of round cut yellow sapphires, along with beautifully cut diamonds.

John Brana’s jewelry collections are very distinctive. That they are designer is no question, but they are also exquisite hand crafted, the pieces generally completely unique and one of a kind.

Being a lover of most things amethyst, I was immediately struck by these Amethyst Wire Wrapped 14K Gold-filled Earrings. The polished spirals are filled with 14K gold, and then wrapped by hand with round beads of amethyst. The resulting dimension is quite daring.

The color is beautiful, and I love the design as well, even though I am not typically a fan of yellow gold.

This piece is part of John Bana’s Barbary Coast Collection, which encompasses many gorgeous pieces. It is filled with beads and gemstones, plenty of amethyst, amber, onyx, citrine, prehnite, and quartz, among other gems.

When you want classic, stylish, sophisticated clothing with an edge, you turn to Versace. When you want classic, stylish, sophisticated jewelry with an edge, you go to Versace as well.

There are a lot of labels behind the Versace brand — Versace Jeans Couture, Gianni Versace Couture, plus several more. It is in Gianni Versace Couture that you can find the most exquisite jewelry you have ever seen.

I have fallen in love with this Topaz and Diamonds White Gold Ring, for instance. Usually I am not the biggest fan of topaz but I really like this, especially the way it flows with the diamonds and the white gold, which form one of my favorite combinations. The topaz is a very opulent, very decadent blue and it is accented with two Vs in perfect symmetry, complete with brilliant cut, round pave diamonds.

When you think about it, us women mostly focus our attention and love for jewelry on ourselves and we do not think about the men’s piece of jewelry at all.  Well, Simmon’s Jewelry Co. has taken a turn for the best and they have actually come out with a beautiful men’s collection of bracelets, chains, rings and even some diamond earrings that you might want to borrow from your man!

These beautiful pieces are mainly focused for the urban-minded man, however in my mind, they look absolutely beautiful!  This particular brand includes some traditional diamonds and gold combinations; however there are some different things used as well – such as rubber and stainless steel, because we all know that a man loves his stainless steel.

In this collection, pieces range from $150.00 all the way to $15,000 – which is something that not a lot of collections have!

When you think of a watch, what is usually the first thing that you think about?  Well, if you are me, then you think of Ed Hardy, the king of modern tattoos and bringing that particular rock ‘n roll trait into everything that he does.  We all know that Ed Hardy is known for his sophistication, his experimentation and also his depth, but what I did not know is that he was known for his beautiful watches!

Watches to me are something that not a lot of people wear anymore, but when you have something this beautiful in your possession, how can you not wear it?  A twist on a classic, Ed Hardy style is exactly what this beautiful watch represents.  Gold, bling and the ability to tell time – it is awesome!

So if you are style and fashion conscious, you should absolutely take a look into this beautiful piece of artwork!

So I have to say that I love the movie Bride Wars – if you have not seen it, you need to see it to truly understand what I am talking about.  The plot of the movie is all about two best friends that have their weddings scheduled at the same place on the same day and the war that goes through it.  The cool thing is that they had some breathtakingly beautiful jewelry in there and one piece of jewelry is a Tacori blue bridal hairpin.

This beautiful hairpin is something that Anne Hathaway’s character wore on her wedding day and I have to say that I just fell in love with this particular hairpin and that is why it is on the blog … because it is beautiful and you all need to see it!  This hairpin is five faceted with blue jade petals which all surround a white topaz in sterling silver.

The great thing about this hairpin is it is something blue for the bride – you know, something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue – pick up this pin and your blue item is covered and fashionable!

Let’s have a chat about some of the latest things about the Royal Asscher family – it has been quite a while since I have done a blog about what they are doing right?  Well, I have to say that they are up to nothing but good and as always, they come to impress.

Their Eclipse collection is no different at all and this is just one engagement ring from that collection.  I love the fact that this particular ring not only has a beautifully cut diamond in the middle, but the ring itself is thicker and the circles of diamonds are very attractive.

The Royal Asscher Eclipse collection is something that I took a deep look at every single piece and I have found that they are all beautifully done and once again, the Royal Asscher is a family that I would be very proud to have on my finger!
