Pearl necklace sells for $7 million at Christie's in New York

A necklace of 68 rare natural pearls that were once part of the treasury of the maharaja of Baroda sold for $7 million (€5.13 million) at Christie's on Wednesday.

The Baroda necklace was assembled for Maharaja Khande Rao of Baroda in the 1850s and had seven strands of pearls until it was broken up sometime after 1948, Christie's spokeswoman Kate Swan said.

Sixty-eight of the largest and finest pearls fastened with a Cartier clasp were made into the two-strand necklace that sold Wednesday at Christie's Rockefeller Center showroom. The pearls are as big as marbles, with a luminous pink glow.

The lot also included a pair of natural pearl and diamond ear pendants, a pearl-and-diamond brooch and a platinum ring with a button pearl flanked by diamonds.

The buyer was an anonymous phone bidder, and Christie's did not identify the seller.

Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford getting hitched!

Well...they're now on a roll....another diamond ring...this time to Calista who, after being with Harrison Ford for five years, is finally taking the plunge!



Harrison waited to propose to the former Ally McBeal star on April Fool's Day and calista thought it was a joke! It took her adopted son to convince her that the proposal was indeed genuine.


Always understated, yet elegant, I'm sure Calista will opt for a traditonal engagement ring like one of these beautiful rings available at the diamond store.


Let's hope the curse of the diamond chicks breaks and they are very happy together!!

Amy Winehouse Engagement Ring

We have an engagement....

Amy Winehouse, one of the most fantastic singers in a long time is engaged to her boyfriend Blake Fielder.

She apparently made him wait 24 hours for an answer after he gave her the diamond engagement ring from Tiffany. I think its about time people took time over their answers when someone proposes...all too often they´re divorced before they´re even married.

I cant wait to see what her wedding is going to be like, shes such a rebel, anything could happen.

Im sure it will be one noone will forget in a hurry....but keep that fantastic music coming Amy, you are one of the most talented young unique singers in a long time.

Wow Women!

A new generation of ambitious 'wow' women are here, a new study commisioned by Persil, says.
These WOW - Women Organising the World- work hard and play hard! Sound like anyone we know...diamond chick?
Their age ranges from 30 - 50, and they want a career, to look good and have time with their family.
They often get things done on the go like sending emails while in the park!Or holding babies while typing blogs!!!!
Women now make up to 46% of the workforce but still do a majority of household chores, according to a survey by the London School of Economics.

Some examples of WOW's are Tana Ramsay and Jules Oliver, but I bet their hubby's do the cooking!

Holiday Jewellery

Well...I've just come back from my holiday and wanted to show you this great travel jewellery box that came in quite handy for storing my diamonds and kept them pristine!!
Just remember to always keep your jewellery in your hand luggage....I keep mine in my handbag that never leaves my side.
And once you're there try to keep your valuables in a safe...that way you are more likely to be covered insurance wise if anything happens.
I took my trusty diamond studs...go with everything and look great by the pool!

Marbella Belles Jewellery

Oh my, what a sight, the Marbella Belles.

I wouldnt mind if everyone I knew who is in Marbella was like that, but they´re not. Honestly!

These woman are on a different planet.

Its all about what they have, clothes, jewellery, cars etc etc. Some want to work, some need to work and some, well just happy living of her husbands millions and never working again!

A couple of weeks ago, Louise Marriott who is the one who does the nails in Posh (which shes says stands for Pxxxxx off Stressed and Hormonal) was wearing a Cartier Bracelet estimated at 100,000 euros given to her by her boyfriend Jeff. She didnt have a clue how much it was worth apparently until "Barbs", Marbella Belle from next door, runs Madhatters Cafe, told her.

I wonder if we will ever hear proper Marbella Bells for Barbs - will she ever find her man?

Celebrity Break -Ups and their Engagement Rings

Im very very worried that The Diamond Chicks are doomed!

Everytime we seem to write about a Celebrity that maybe getting engaged or married they break up!!! Its terrible, what is going on. Its all that strain of being in the spotlight, its a hard life out there.

So far Jemima Khan & Hugh Grant have split up, although theres rumours going around that they are trying to re-patch things up. Come on guys, it would be so nice to see you both together. Might keep your mind of Liz too!

And then at the weekend, Prince William and Kate Middleton. What a shame, she seemed so lovely, but we will see how lovely she is if she ever sells her story....Kate...prove everyone wrong and keep it to yourself.

Imagine knowing through your life, how you earnt your money....by talking about someone elses personal life. Some girls obviously dont mind earning money that way and I can think of quite a few....I have to say I cannot stand them - especially one in particular, but you will have to figure out who she is for yourself.

Im not surprised they broke up, what a life and they werent even engaged yet let alone married and already the press are following her around just like they did with Princess Diana. Its history repeating.

So we still have Billie Piper, Kate Moss , Myleene klass and Bradd Pitt & Angelina Jolie.

Kerry Katona who recently got married in Gretna Green to Husband Mark has now decided that she wished she had a big huge doo...so shes doing it all over again in Spain. Apparently in Villa Tiberio Restaurant which is in Marbella....ahh I knew I had something to write about....Marbella Belles....Im off ....bye

Myleenes Engagement Ring & Wedding

Myleene Klass came across so nice when she starred in Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

She was just a really nice, caring person. After seeing her breakdown on national tv, I did think she had a lot of problems and was going down hill, but shes pulled herself back up, put on some weight and now she looks absolutely amazing.

Starting this week were the Marks and Spencers adverts starring Myleene along with Twiggy, once again looking amazing in her swimming costume! Im sure all you men out there remember the bikini we are talking about!

And as if thats enough, this weeks its also been announced that she is pregnant and getting married to her partner Graham Quinn who was once her bodyguard. But she is going to wait until their baby is born before squeezing into the wedding dress.

Good luck Myleene, you are a very talented and beautiful woman and sure that you will sparkle on your wedding day as much as your diamond engagement ring!
