Is Price of Amber Going to Go Up?

For years the demand for amber jewelry has been growing while the supply of high quality Baltic amber has been decreasing. The main source of Baltic amber – the mines in Sambia (Kaliningrad region) remain under water after flooding in 2004.

Amber gathering from Polish beaches and fishing for amber in the sea are too expensive, time consuming and labor intensive to fulfill the market’s demand. Therefore the manufacturers of amber are looking for new deposits and w... Read More >>>

Dior’s Mysterious Watch

The new Christal Mysterieuse Watch by Dior is definitely a head turner. Although it looks intriguing it might be not too practical since it is very difficult to figure out what time it is. The dial of the watch is always moving at a slow rate. The Dior Christal Mysterieuse is named as such for the special Quinting manufacture movement that has three rotating plates. One for the hours, minutes and day. With this constant altering look of the dial, it appears the same only once a month. This way you can never really have any frames of reference to read the hands. The watch is that re... Read More >>>

Body Parts Inspired Jewelry

During my last trip to Paris I came across a jewelry collection designed by Delfina Delettrez. She is a young artist who creates jewelry inspired by human anatomy.

Probably not many women would decide to wear this kind of jewelry but I find it interesting and worth writing a few words.

She is inspired by books of famous anatomist of the XVIth century Andreas van Vessel and her jewelry collections resume the humor of Tim Burton’s movies like “Nightmare b... Read More >>>

Stay Beautiful on a Budget

Do you sometimes wonder whether the fancy $50 shampoo works better than the $6 brand? We should remember that there's no scientific evidence that high-end beauty products work better than what you get at your local drugstore for much less. Dr Craig A. Vander Kolk, professor of plastic surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and associate director of the Plastic Surgery Medical Center says: “You can get the smelly good stuff. You can go out and get all the fancy Cliniques and the lip balm and lip enhancers, but there's no study showing they are bett... Read More >>>
