Forevermark Forever Yours!

Bebe Bakhshi — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 07:08:00 +0000

Hello Jewelristas,

I don’t know about you but I am super excited for Oscars Red Carpet and I hope all of you enjoyed the eclectic taste in Golden Globes and SAG awards.

I am sure you have heard about the Inaugural Ball that Michelle Obama rocked her stack of bracelet designed by Kimberley McDonald for Forevermark. I was breathless, the designs were so raw and fresh that I just wanted to have one of them, well for $20,000+ who is counting! (sighh)

During SAG awards we heard a lot about Forevermark Diamonds that stars were rocking them including Elisabeth Moss and Amy Poehler.

Forevermark Diamonds are part of the De Beers group which is the leading company in sourcing out the best diamonds in the world since 1888.

Forevermark Diamonds has different designers for their collections and recently some of the very famous individual jewelry designers are having collaborations with Forevermar Diamonds and here is the list of the guest designers: Kimberley Mcdonald, Fred Leighton, Martin Katz, Hoorsenbuhs, Me&Ro, Mimi So and Stephen Webster.

Here I am going to share some of the permanent collections icons as well as the guest designer’s absolutely unique creations.

Enjoy and Happy Weekend already!

Fred Leighton Brooches!

Bebe Bakhshi — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 14:34:00 +0000

I am back!
I think I owe you guys an explanation that where was I during past month, I was really really busy at work and couldn’t find a proper time to focus on what I want to share with you.

Recently during the March I have received heaps of comments on my post from May 2011 about Fred Leighton jewelry and now I want to share my new passion with you: Brooches!

Recently I am fascinated by brooches and the boost that they can give to your overall look just by a hidden touch.

I am going to haunt some antique brooches within April and will be back with pictures and prices.

Enjoy Fred Leighton and

Golden Globes 2012

Bebe Bakhshi — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:45:00 +0000

Wow, I couldn’t be more happier when writing about Golden Globes 2012 as the winner for the best foreign language film was “A Separation” directed by Asghar Farhadi from Iran.

Congratulations big time to Iranian people all around the world…

Back to our own business, this year the red carpet at Golden Globes was so glamorous that I can’t really describe it by words. As a ritual in most of the Hollywood events, Lorraine Schwartz & Fred Leighton were the winners of the night, jewelry wise of course!

Cartier, Bulgari, Chopard, Harry Winston, Neil Lane, Van Cleef & Arpels and Tiffany & Co
were present as well.
My favorite piece is Angelina Jolie earrings, so subtle and elegant.

Enjoy my lovely followers
