Piaget Altiplano Full Pave Dial Watch

For a truly elegant watch you can always rely on the Piaget Altiplano. It looks good on both men and women, and comes in a variety of styles - each in a thin, round case. For 2011 the Altiplano gets a full pave (diamond covered) dial with matching diamond covered bezel. The diamonds are brilliant-cut and applied in a concentric circle pattern. Depending on the model, the pieces will have between 574-735 diamonds on them.

What are the two versions? Piaget offers the Altiplano Pave Dial watch in a 34mm wide or 38mm wide 18k gold case. The 34mm wide version is clearly a women's model, while the 38mm wide version is for either men or women. There are so many diamonds on the dial that the sheer level of the sparkle is almost distracting! Piaget even had to apply their logo on the bottom of the sapphire crystal as there was no room on the bejeweled face. Still, the dials are legible thanks to the white gold baton style hour markers and dauphine hour and minute hand. The design offers a pleasing mix of jewelry and minimalism.

There are more diamonds on the buckle of the white or black alligator strap. As is the case with all Altiplano watches, this one is very thin. The Piaget made calber 430P manually wound movement is just 2.1mm thick, and the case is not that much thicker. Showy, but still elegant, the Piaget Altiplano Pave Dial watch is a great item for special occasions or when you are try to be less than subtle on a first date.

David Yurman Celebrates Pav� this Season

Filed under: Jewelry

I haven't had an opportunity to share this on Luxist yet but I adore David Yurman. His style is always consistent but fresh with new designs and changes in metals and stones. This particular partnership between sterling silver and pavé diamonds is my new favorite! The signature cable is still incorporated with glittering diamonds literally paving the way around each piece. It is truly stunning and you'll find everything from rings to bracelets, necklaces to earrings that you can mix and match together. Is it too late to put these on my wish list for the holidays?

Pav� Diamond Dog Tag

Sometimes guys want a little bling too, you know? But it's hard to find that right balance of flash and masculinity, and although I'm not claiming this Pavé Diamond Dog Tag by David Yurman does the trick (it's all about personal preference and I'm not even a guy) the mix of pave diamonds and dog tag style seems to at least be in the right ballpark. It has a total of 1.15 carats total with a sterling silver logo, cable trim, "925" inlay, and a sterling silver chain pulling the whole thing together. Available at Neiman Marcus for $1,950.

If you love big diamond rings but solitaires aren't your thing, then this Diane VonFurstenberg Power Ring by H. Stern is a good alternative. From the Power Ring Collection, the DVF Power Ring features 18 karat white gold in a interlacing pattern with Pavé diamonds filling every available space and totaling 4.6 carats total weight. Some think it looks like a constellation, and I think it looks more like diamonds within a diamond, but however it strikes you it's sure to make a bold statement. Have yours for $19,000.

The Diane von Furstenberg Collection by H. Stern defines itself as "a marriage of creativity and glamour."

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.
