18kt Gold Antarctica Snow Globe Ring

Filed under: Jewelry

Who says snow globes are just for looking at? This one, created as a statement ring and full of its own version of swirling winter magic, is meant to be worn and flaunted anywhere and everywhere except at home on a bookshelf. The Antarctica Snow Globe Ring was designed by Vincente Agor and features an 18kt gold ring bezel topped with a 47.75 carat round rock crystal cabochon centerpiece surrounded by a combination of pave set round brilliant diamonds and Paraiba tourmalines.

Named after the way the crystal resembles an icy landscape frozen and protected in time, the Antarctica Snow Globe Ring is a one-of-a-kind creation and can be yours for $9,700.

This has been a big week for celebrity jewelry lines. We've seen Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announce a line with Asprey, Alica Keys has a new line and now actress Michelle Trachtenberg has designed a line of jewelry for Coach's youth skewed Poppy Line. Trachtenberg's line in bright and colorful with big crystals, faux pearls and metal charms. Our sister blog Styelist spoke with Trachtenberg who said that her spring line was inspired by a mixture of romance and edginess that she described as having a very "Marie Antoinette meets Blondie" vibe.

Candace K Designs

One of the trends I have been seeing lately is people taking existing work and re-utilizing it in new and exciting ways. A great example is Candace K, a California-based designer who works with Chinese gambling chips. The chips are antiques, delicate engraved mother of pearl pieces which Candace K surrounds with gems and strings on leather, silver, gold or beaded necklaces. The pieces start at around $400 but cost as much as $20,000 depending on the other materials used. The chips themselves each have their own story the more intricate the chip, the higher the status of the user. The designs can be ordered online and are also at Fred Segal and at the Ice Accessories store in the Caesar's Palace Forum Shops in Las Vegas.
