Kim Kardashian's Latest Jewelry Line

Filed under: Jewelry, Celebrity Design

Just how many jewelry lines does one reality television star need? If you are Kim Kardashian the magic number might be three. People says that Kardashian is launching yet another jewelry line, this time with Pascal Mouawad, a man who is no stranger to partnering with celebrities. He also is behind Nicole Ritchie's House of Harlow line and Heidi Klum's line of fine jewelry in addition to creating Victoria's Secret's jewel-covered bras.

Kim Kardashian has already collaborated with her sisters on a jewelry line with Virgins, Saints and Angels and has a line of earrings with Loren Jewels. Her line of costume jewelry, Kim Kardashian's Belle Noel by Pascal Mouawad will launch in January 2011. People, which has sketches of the Honey Hexagon line, reports that the 75-piece line will be sold in department stores, specialty stores and select online stores. Other lines in the collection include Glam Rock, Gold Clusters and Peek-a-Boo. Kardashian has said that the line was inspired by great costume jewelry designs of the 1930s and will include both smaller everyday pieces and more lavish statement jewels. The prices will range from $11-$150.

Filed under: Jewelry, Celebrity Design

Two more celebrities will be debuting jewelry lines on QVC. The home shopping network will be featuring lines by Shoshanna Gruss and Priscilla Presley, two names whose claim to fame began with who they were involved with. Shoshanna Gruss (nee Lonstein), now a popular fashion designer, first came to media attention as the very young girlfriend of Jerry Seinfield years ago. She's launching her Shoshanna's Fashion Jewelry Essentials collection, a collaboration with another QVC-er Judith Ripka. The costume jewelry line includes crystal heavy pieces like dangling drop earrings and sells from $20 to $80. Her line will debut August 10 at 9 a.m. EDT.

Priscilla Presley's line is the Priscilla Presley Collection, a line of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings that is said to have a rock and roll edge. Presley, who was first famous for being Elvis Presley's wife and later an actress and author will be offering fashion jewelry pieces that will sell from about $35 to $170. Her line will debut August 9 at 9 a.m. EDT.

Model Christie Brinkley and television host Cat Deeley also have lines on QVC.

Guilt-Free Designer Diamonds

Filed under: Jewelry, Celebrity Shopping, Charity

Ok, we all saw the movie The Blood Diamond a while back and can no longer avoid contemplating the probability that the sparkly rocks on the market today were perhaps obtained by violence, human-rights abuses, child-labor, or environmental destruction. I practically swore-off buying diamonds all-together after seeing the movie -- for about a week. As conscientious consumers, we therefore must seek out alternative and ethical sources for our need to shine. Poom Fine Jewelry is one of these sources; not only does Poom use "conflict-free" diamonds, but she donates a portion from every sale to various local animal charities. Her designs are unique and current, yet simple and timeless. She has designed for important brides-to-be, movie stars, and has been featured in Elle Magazine numerous times. Her current collection includes very fashionable pieces such as cocktail rings, modern bangles, and circle-motif earrings meant for those of us who still value the elegant understatement in jewelry design. This creation, cleverly-named "Mr. Big" in 18K rose-gold, diamonds, and pink-sapphires, forecasts the hottest upcoming trend in diamond pendant forms: the circular disc. Stay envious and ahead of the rest all the while knowing that with your purchase, you may have saved a child from horrid working conditions and a goat from starvation. "Mr. Big" retails for $5,000.
