Do the stars really own their jewelry or do they just borrow pieces for events?
For the over 27 years that I have been in the jewelry business, there are two types of stars......
There are elegant and refined ladies like Anne Bancroft, Ann Miller and Debbie Reynolds,
who I had the wonderful pleasure to work with each......
and then there are other's, who I won't drag through the muck,
but never owned anything..... I remember a time when a popular singer/actress,
crawled out of her limo, I do mean crawled, actually found a piece that she loved,
and called her then husband. She proceded to beg to buy a $3500 ring, pleading
"Oh please "Tony" (not his real name) can't I get this ring, please Tony" and even though
she was the breadwinner of the family, he said no and she stumbled back to the car
empty-handed. Poor thing, she had nothing, nothing but that dude.......

Another fabulous movie, a stunning woman and some HOT rocks!!!!!!!
Imitation of Life, starring Lana Turner and John Gavin, was another romantic epic.
This is a wonderful shot from the movie and the jewelry is perfect!

Happy Labor Day and to the labor of love.....
One of my favorite romantic movies is Meet Joe Black.The on-screen chemisty between Claire Forlani and Brad Pitt
is extraordinary, combined with the original score from
Thomas Newman,
makes this a modern day classic....

One more piece to tease you with!
All these pieces are available at Jewelry Couture. http://www.jewelry-couture.com/ |
Welcome to The Jewelry Couturier Blog for the world through a jeweler's eye.
This is the first post for our new blog and we will be here to discuss the world of jewelry, styles, fashion, designers and maybe just our thoughts. I will hopefully inform, challenge and make you, the reader, understand more about this industry and the people in it. I will also tell stories of my experiences with celebrities, royality and just the average person. I may have the occasional rant about things that effect my world and maybe even a joke or two. The one thing I am trying to acheive by this blog is to incourage young people to taste the artistry, craftmanship and beauty of this industry. I want to comment on the passion I feel and to encourage the people who came into this industry for the money, to leave. If you don't know the wonderful feeling of seeing how happy a woman can be with the choice of an engagement ring, the challenge of a father teaching his son how to set a chronograph, or the pain when someone has to liquidate family heirlooms, you should not be in the jewelry business because you don't understand how to feel and know what the best parts of life are. I look forward to your comments and concerns but remember this is about jewelry and watches and the life that they have given me.
