We're forever mesmerized by Temple St. Clair's new Geocentric Pendant, which was inspired by 1st century astronomer Ptolemy's hypothesis that our humble planet was the center of the universe. The rotating pendant is set in multicolor sapphires.

Diane von Furstenberg Heart Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I'm not completely convinced that the Heart Bag from Diane von Furstenberg's H. Stern collection is a handbag that is meant to be carried by anyone, despite the fact that it is a clutch-sized container. The piece is a one-of-a-kind "bag," handmade by a master goldsmith. It measures only 6" in diameter and has a clasp concealed by the love knot detail on the front. Inside, the bag has black suede lining and enough room for keys, a lipstick and perhaps a cell phone. The short black silk strap ensures that you'll have the bag in hand, not over your shoulder, which is just as well given that it is priced at $36,000.

Diane von Furstenberg Colored Pave Sutra Bracelet

Filed under: Jewelry

The Diane von Furstenberg Collection by H. Stern defines itself as "a marriage of creativity and glamour." True to those guidelines, the Multi-Colored Pave Sutra Bracelet is both creative and glamorous. The link bracelet is made of 18K white gold and inlaid with 4,400 pave-set stones, including rubies, garnets, sapphires and amethysts, to make up its rainbowed appearance. The dangling charm is a "love knot," an intricately looping shape that represents (of course) love. Shown in the "bold" size, the bracelet measures 8.75." Price: $66,000.
