Last summer, the Manolo Blahnik and Rosa Tous met in Madrid, Spain. The idea began when Blahnik praised the piece of jewelry Tous was wearing the day. The latter responded by saying that she could turn one of his shoe designs into a jewelry piece for her own brand. An idea hit Blahnik and suggested that maybe they could use the Campari shoe design. Tous added that she can transform the shoe idea into a charm with a diamond center button and a gold chain. The rest, as they say, is history.

During an interview, Blahnik expressed his excitement about the new project and said that he felt he has so much in common with the jewelry brand starting with the same Spanish roots, family business layout, and innovation. Just the same, Rosa Tous voiced out her delight about the new business venture and her love for classic and beautiful Manolo Blahnik shoes.

The TOUS-designed Campari shoe charm was launched last March in about 300 TOUS stores around the world. The first TOUS store to carry it was in Mexico. Soon after, the TOUS-Blahnik charm will be available in Manolo Blanhik stores and other select posh boutiques worldwide.

The Paoo Queen Ring combines just a little of the old world with a new world twist and I swear that the stone in the middle of this beautiful silver ring is something that I absolutely love – it is actually a colored resin stone that is settled in a 925 sterling silver piece.

So check out Paoo jewelry!  I can absolutely promise that it is a jewelry brand that you are going to fall in love with!

So this has to be said: this ring is freakin’ beautiful!  Not matter how many times I look at this ring; I honestly can not get enough of it!  It is breathtakingly beautiful!  Now, when I first saw this ring, I was curious what a ‘Star Sapphire’ ring was and what was the difference between a Star sapphire and a regular one, well folks, it is the look of it.

Do you see how this amazing ring has a sort of milky haze to it and it seems to glow from the inside out?  That is the difference between the Star sapphire and the regular one.  The fact that this one glows makes it a Star and that is certainly a very fitting name for it!

This is one piece of jewelry though that you definitely need to care for.  Me?  I am EXTREMELY hard on my jewelry, but this with ring, you can not be hard on it and you certainly need to make sure that you take care of it if you want it to last!

Earcuffs are quite versatile as they can be mixed and matched with other stud earrings to create your own custom look. In addition, although they are usually worn on only one ear for dramatic effect, some prefer to order two wraps to wear on both ears. But be careful when ordering, depending on the pattern you may require a left and right ear design. Take for example this gorgeous sterling silver dragon fly, the tail of the insect points inward making both left and right positions required for a matched set.

Another version of the ear cuff is a dangling model with one gem hanging from the cuff or even two or three animals dangling from a chain. Gold filled butterflies, sterling silver baby dolphins, hermatite stars, tanzanite crystals, crosses, leaves, and hearts all make pretty ear decorations. For those that prefer something less large, the intricately made, short cuffs with pearl or diamond accent, tiny graduated loops, and thin bands look just as lovely with an evening outfit or dressed down with casual wear.

Although Kris’ pins are rightfully classified in the bridal section, as many brides wear the hairpins with hats and veils, more women are choosing to wear hairpins in order to add pizzazz to their outfits. And hairpins complement any outfit. Choose a delightful flower motif, sterling silver pin of light green jade, red jade, black onyx, quartz crystal, smokey quartz, or rose quartz.

For a more delicate image, the Mother of Pearl pin is stunning placed either over the ear or in the back of an upswept hairdo. Four gorgeous petals created from mother of pearl with a center cluster of white freshwater pearls make this pin one of Kris’ best selling pieces.

If you want to create a spectacular display in your hair, then choose the four pin set in a cascading design. Tiny freshwater pearls and crystals entwined in silver make this a classic bridal head trimming. And you can understand why this is a bridal collection when you see the sensational pearl and crystal hair band. Finished off with soft white velvet ribbon, this pretty headpiece is perfect when a wedding tiara is too elaborate.

For whatever occasion you wear these lovely hairpins, you will look beautiful.

OR… 30 grand on a Hello Kitty Necklace? Photos right below — pretty decadent, aye!?
