Celebrating her three decades of designing jewellery exclusively for Tiffany & Co, Paloma Picasso bedazzles the crowd with her creations.

Drawn to cultures with a unique artistic heritage, Paloma was inspired to create Paloma’s Marrakesh, a jewellery collection based on the visually stimulating angularity of Moroccan patterns. She takes a lavish view of its timeless designs and rich textures with a silk-like tassel of lapis lazuli beads that flows from an 18 karat gold sphere. Accented with diamonds and turquoise, the handcrafted necklace moves with grace and glimmers with the opulence of the East.

The collection is available from Tiffany & Co outlets in Suria KLCC and Pavilion KL.

The jeweller has since taken a serious stance on providing the proper ornamentation to combine the rituals and traditions of a union with the symbol of the perfect wedding ring. Its Pledge of Love collection will attest to this.

A brilliant row of pavé diamonds in a sturdy setting of square rings of white gold will reflect the durability of any couple’s love and commitment. In addition to this is the solitaire diamond ring set in classic crown design or given a twist with a heart-shaped ring finishing. Another popular setting, the trinity of diamonds that represents love, tenderness and commitment, is beautifully handcrafted to perfection in white gold.

TSL’s latest creations are centred around the simplicity of ‘the wedding proverb’: Something old, Something new Something borrowed, and Something blue.

Its wedding collection of rings draws inspiration from this, according to Western customs, where the old represents tradition; the new represents the couple’s new life; the borrowed means the support and love of friends and family; and the blue means purity. Just as the Pledge of Love collection may appear simple in presentation, but created from the purest of intentions – that you mark your commitment with love, life and happiness.

In the beginning…
Although the name Bvlgari is synonymous with Italian fashion, its early history actually began in Greece. Jeweller Sotirio Bvlgari started creating his masterpieces in the small Greek village of Paramythia. In 1877, he left Greece for Corfu, and then Naples, Italy. Finally, in 1881 he moved to Rome, where he founded Bvlgari, the company, in 1884. He opened his second shop in Via Sistina, today a chic street on top of the Spanish Steps that is brimming with luxury brands.

The current flagship store in Via dei Condotti was opened in 1905 by Bvlgari with the help of his two sons, Constantino (1889-1973) and Giorgio (1890-1966), which quickly became famous among the world’s richest.

The Bulgari design…
In the 1970s, the Bvlgari lines of jewellery were made distinctive, characterised by recognisable and bold designs of thick gold links and black steel craft. That instantly made the Bvlgari name more popular than ever. Each Bvlgari item has a unique serial number that is registered with the company for authenticity.

International expansion…
Bvlgari set up its first international stores in New York, Paris, Geneva and Monte Carlo in the 1970s. For many years the company maintained a showroom in New York’s The Pierre Hotel. Today, Bvlgari has more than 230 retail locations worldwide. In America, the 16th location was recently opened in Scottsdale, Arizona.

In 1980, Bvlgari’s Swiss subsidiary, Bvlgari Time S.A., was founded to produce Bvlgari watches. Later, in the early 1990s, Bvlgari further diversified its business and launched the first Bvlgari perfume line. In 2001, renowned hotel brand, Marriott International, formed a joint venture with Bvlgari SpA and launched the luxury hotel brand, Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts in 2001 and its first hotel opened in Milan, Italy in 2004, while the second hotel opened in Bali, Indonesia in 2006.

Later the same year, Bvlgari unveiled the intricate and complex Assioma Multi Complication watch at BaselWorld; equipped with tourbillion (perpetual calendar and second time zone).

If you desire something special to the mark the start of your journey together as husband and wife, platinum is the perfect choice.

Fashion comes and goes, but platinum is always in vogue. Diamonds set in platinum translate into total strength and security.

There are many reasons why Platinum is currently the preferred alternative for many bridal consumers today.

Platinum is pure
As platinum is the purest metal possible, it is entirely hypoallergenic. A godsend for sensitive skins or whose religion discourages gold jewellery.

Platinum is strong
It is incredibly tough that it will withstand everyday wear and tear. Modern bridal couples adore platinum as its uncompromising strength is the perfect symbol of love. Once diamonds and other precious stones are set in platinum, the metal holds the stones immovably secure.

Platinum is rare
Platinum is rare, the coveted treasure of discerning individuals. There is very little platinum on this earth and it is found in very few places around the world. This exquisite metal is 30 times rarer than gold. Platinum’s rarity makes it exclusive and distinctive – a celebration of your individuality. The many demands by high tech industries and depletion of old mines mean platinum is getting scarcer each day.

Platinum is one-of-a-kind!
Why follow the crowd when you can be in a league of your own? There is nothing common or ordinary about platinum. Unlike other metals, platinum does not tarnish or lose its shape, colour or lustre. Durable and tough, you can play your favourite sports without removing your platinum ring or bracelet!

Platinum is notoriously difficult to work with due to its high density, high melting point and toughness.

For Platinum Wedding Rings that are distinctively different …
The Rudolf Erdel Platinum Collection by OE Fine Jewellery exemplifies the power and prestige of platinum. It has been described by Professional Jeweller (the authoritative American jewellery trade magazine) as “Fashionable yet classic. The styles have a hip, up-to-the-minute feel, they are fashionably simple and always recognizable”.

‘The unique satin finish and eminently stylish designs of Rudolf Erdel Platinum send a subtle statement about the wearer’s discerning taste and outlook in life. More so if the occasion involves ‘I do’ as its unsurpassed collection of Engagement Rings with matching wedding bands embody true love.

2. Don’t get too hung up on a specific carat weight. Because there is a leap in price between a stone that weighs 0.9 of a carat and a one-carat stone. If you’re going for a three-stone wedding ring, for example, choose an 0.8 carat stone flanked by two 0.4 carat stones: it will be considerably cheaper than a one-carat flanked by two halves.

3. Be as extravagant as you want, but consider practicality, you will wear this every day for the rest of your life.

4. Ask if the retailer subscribes to the Kimberley Process, which should eliminate any conflict diamonds. If you are going to spend a substantial amount of money on your diamond rings, go for certified diamonds for better investment value.

5. ‘Always go for the biggest you can afford. Some ladies worry about a diamond being too flashy as it is often their first piece of proper jewellery. But everything shrinks with age and they will soon get very used to it, and might regret not going for the bigger one in the first place.’
