Julia Roberts Co-Designs New Chopard Jewelry Collection
This is a special collection that features emeralds cut from an immense 6,000+ carat emerald known as the Insofu Emerald, which they paired with both rubellites as well as turquoise, which is where they lose me as far as appeal goes since I would never put turquoise with those gemstones, but that's ...

How Flawed Diamonds Got Their Mojo Back
This is interesting to see how diamonds are faring now since the price of both natural diamonds and LGDs have come down, which has enticed some former LGD buyers to swap them out for mined diamonds. Here's the scoop from Rapaport, ;) How Flawed Diamonds Got Their Mojo Back Round SIs were among the b...

Sparks Fly as Burglars Lose Safe on California Freeway
Serves them right, but they're still on the loose so I"ll watch for more on this. I have to wonder if they would try the same method again since they're obviously not the smartest thieves in the world. :lol: Sparks Fly as Burglars Lose Safe on California Freeway https://nationaljeweler.com/uplo...

Created Diamonds Had a Small but Mighty Presence at the Oscars
It's actually good to see celebs willing to wear LGDs at awards functions, and this does show us closeups of quite a few pieces, but the pics of white diamonds on a white background were obviously taken by an inexperienced photographer since the diamonds all look dull and lifeless so we can only ima...

Unsaid Gives New Meaning to Term “Fantasy Cuts”
These fantasy cuts were inspired by Bernd Munsteiner, and likely his late son Tom who recently passed, whose fantasy cuts in gemstones are legendary and we have many examples of them on the forum. These are all done in LGDs, and I've always liked the diamond bands cut from a single piece, and this d...
