Vacheron Constantin Lady Kalla Flame Watch

Flame on! This jewelry watch from Vacheron Constantin features the newest officially recognized diamond shape, the "flame cut." The shape, that looks like a small flame, is emphasized in the dial as well as the use of 200 flame cut diamonds all over the watch, 20 on the case, 60 in the dial, and 120 used on the bracelet. The settings and case of the watch are all made from 18k white gold. Being a jewelry watch, the Vacheron Constantin Kalla Flame is a pretty wild looking piece, but still retains the grace you have come to expect from the brand.

Interestingly, Vacheron Constantin chose to retain a mechanical movement for the small profile watch. Inside is a manually wound 1005 movement, that is just 3.6mm thick. Don't expect too much life out of it though as you need to wind it at least every 30 hours - certainly enough for a good night (and morning) out. With a total of 36.5 karats of the attractive new flame cut diamonds, the Lady Kalla serves its purpose well to highlight a novel, but classic looking piece of watch jewelry for women.

Starline Vendome Stove Fireplace

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Fireplaces have been bringing a sense of cozy elegance to rooms every since they were replaced functionally by the invention of central heating and ended up falling into the "extra" and "decorative" categories. And even though they're fairly common, whenever somebody has one there's always that little mental note in the back of your mind thinking 'nice!' and if you don't have your own at home that thought is usually followed by a pang of jealousy.

So the solution is to make sure that you do have your own at home, and why not one of these Vendome Stove fireplaces? They're made to burn 7-14 hours and designed for both maximum ease of use and maximum safety. The unique cylindrical design looks great anywhere, either free-standing or up against a wall or corner. $6,328

Nina Campbell Match Strikers

Filed under: Decor

The weather has barely begun to get colder here in the Midwest (we're having 80 degree days mixed in with a few frosty nights) but I'm already finding myself lighting up scented candles all around the house. And what better way to keep matches handy than in one of these beautiful Match Strikers from Nina Campbell. Available in small, medium, and large sizes and a variety of colors and patterns they look beautiful both in a grouping or on their own. And while you're at it check out the scented candles so you have something new and beautiful to light (Ruby sounds good to me).

The Match Strikers vary in price from £199 (small) to £454 (large).

ArtBuzz Fire Pit

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Fire pits are definitely a hot item for the yard this year, literally and figuratively. ArtBuzz takes the combination of fire and metal a step further by adorning fire pits with a sharp, elegant flame design. The Bowl O' Fire fire pits are huge. Available in two sizes, one measures 19.5" deep and 37" diameter and weighs in at 150 pounds ($650), while the other is 19.5" deep, 41" diameter and weighs 175-lbs ($695). The weight isn't surprising when you consider that they are hand cut from 1/4-inch thick recycled steel. Since the bowls are hand-cut, each one is slightly different, guaranteeing that you'll get a unique piece that is also a showstopper. All of the bowls have a warm rush finish, so there is no need for any maintenance, either.

ArtBuzz also makes matching Torches by the same process, which are a great way to accent the yard, and a miniature fire pit/grill that is a great choice for cooks, or simply for those who don't have enough room for the full sized pit.
