Jennifer Miller has three jewelry stores, one in New York, Palm Beach, and the Hamptons. At her stores, you can find a range of items, from expensive to more affordable. She appeared on NBC’s the today show to discuss her jewelry, and since then interest in her business has soared.
At Jennifer Miller’s stores, she seems to deal mostly in feuxjewelry, which she claims is ideal for those who travel, and don’t want to risk the loss or damage to their important belongings.
But she does deal in pieces that can be described as “fine jewelry,” with rose cut diamonds and pearls. According to Jennifer Miller’s website, there is something for everyone. Unlike other designers, Jennifer Miller can’t be pinned down to a single style, but has a diverse flavor of items available for purchase.

Diamond wedding cakes have made the rounds but doesn't the humble cupcake deserve a shot at diamond dazzle? Mervis Diamond Importers says they are the first to create a diamond cupcake. The cupcake is topped with eight ideal cut round brilliant diamonds around its circumference, and a two carat Asscher cut diamond in the center for a total value of $30,000. The cupcakes (there are two like this) will be on display at Mervis Diamond Importers, for their "Cupcakes and Wedding Rings" trunk show on May 1 and 2. You can see more photos of the cupcake at the Mervis website.
Why did Jonathan Mervis decide to do this? He's heard that question a few times and says that he sees it from a couple of different angles: "Firstly, I'm having fun. But secondly, I'm in the business of helping make engagements and weddings as stunning and memorable as possible. On the big wedding day when money is no object, I think a diamond-topped cupcake could be the ultimate in luxury. I've already had a few phone calls inquiring about more "affordable" diamond cupcakes, and I could foresee a situation where diamond cupcakes become the 'it' thing for brides."
He has applied to the Guinness Book of Records to see if he can get listed as the world's first diamond cupcake. But beyond the obvious publicity spin, Mervis also has an interesting point about the connection between sweets and luxury treats and the salutary benefits of indulgence. He asks if, in a time like this "when so many Americans are in the poor house, can it be healthy to dream for a moment and let our minds play with images of decadent diamond cupcakes?"
These rings from Jam Home Made & Ready Made are created from recycled bicycle spacers. The Japanese leather and jewelry band took inspiration from the Olympics with these brightly-colored bands, which are paired with muted metallic bands for each stacked jewelry set.
I love the use of gunmetal gray bands over black to set off the brightly-colored rings.
At the 2009 Inhorgenta watch and jewelry fair in Munich, the German jewelry designer Petra Geers exhibited their incredible signet rings. Inspired by the shape of cigar bands, the signet rings were produced by customers’ request.
The individual engraving of the stones on the cigar band signet are of excellent quality; you might be surprised to learn that a 77-year-old engraver is behind this craftsmanship.
The unique pieces can be ordered in gold or platinum, and 8 different stones are available to create a truly unique heirloom piece.
20 Innovations That Aren’t What They Seem I read a Kate Hudson quote about her punching co-star Anne Hathaway with a diamond ring, and it reeled me back to a story we featured on Trend Hunter on the “Killer Engagement” ring that doubles as a weapon. Good thing Kate didn’t have one of those…
This autumn and winter, a lot of well-known haute couture designers are producing exclusive and expensive dogwear.
Ben de Lisi, Issa, Stephen Webster and Vivienne Westwood are all getting ready for one of the biggest pet fashion shows, Pet a Porter in London.

Spending a few extra bucks on any mundane stuff in this financial meltdown situation might not be a good idea for many of us, but the $599 limited edition 8GB 18-carat solid gold Pico-C USB drive hopes to change the conception. Coming straight from the house of Super Talent, this lavish gold USB drive is water resistant and supports up to 30MB/s transfer speeds. The custom-made Pico-C drive comes with an 18-carat solid gold keychain, a serialized certificate of authenticity and the whole thing is delivered in a black velvet jewelry box. Laser etching is done at no extra cost. Do they really need to charge extra considering the already hefty price tag? Anyway, the 8GB 18-carat solid gold drive is available on a preorder basis for a limited time.
If you needed more proof that black diamonds are the new ‘it’ girl in the jewelry world, look no further. Victoria’s Secret unveiled their new Fantasy Bra, and the C cup beauty is loaded with ‘em.
The Black Diamond Fantasy Bra was created by celebrity jeweler, Martin Katz, and is set with 3,575 black diamonds, 117 certified one-carat white round diamonds and 34 rubies. If that weren’t enough, two huge black diamond drops weighing in at 50 carats each swing down from the center.
Supermodel, Adriana Lima, wears the black diamond beauty in the Victoria Secret ad campaign (they aren’t lying when they say the thing is designed for maximum cleavage enhancement).
And, hey, if you want to find a little luxury lingerie under the tree this year, you’ll only have to shell out a mere 5 mil.
Not bad for 1500 carats that will never see the light of day.
This will surely sound music to the ears!! With the launch of the uber-glamorous & enchanting Elements Stardust, a crystal-studded radio, you are certain to glue yourself to music on air. Though not an innovation, this one is certain to generate dazzling ripples in the luxury dominated blogosphere. Studded with 4,000 Swarovski crystals, it certainly is a beauty to be appreciated. Featuring 10 preset AM/FM stations, this beauty was unveiled at the IFA 2008, Berlin and is being promoted by the renowned BlingMyThing. Drenched in black crystals it looks stunning & is adorned with a white floral pattern that gives it an elegant & sophisticated look.

If you’re the kind of guy who manages to cut himself with a safety razor, the world’s most expensive razor is not for you. If you have steady hands, an appreciation of fine craftsmanship and the kind of budget that lets you buy a $30,000 razor, though, then you may want to take a look at what Hommage has created for people like you.
Known for their luxury personal grooming products, Parisian company Hommage certainly lives up to their reputation with the Damascene Razor. The name comes from the Damascus steel used to make the blade. While the technique for making the True Damascus encountered during the Crusades has been lost since the 1700s, modern pattern welding techniques have produced similar blades. The 128 layers of steel in the Damascene Razor produce a rose and torsion pattern much like those seen in True Damascus blades.
The blade isn’t the only expensive material used to make this extravagantly crafted straight razor, though. The razor’s sheath is platinum plated and it comes in a lacquered gift box of Tanzanian anigré wood.
If you want one, though, you’d better buy it now. The most expensive razor in the world is a limited edition item.
Who is nerd enough to be ignorant of the song “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”? Even if you haven’t heard the song, I’m sure you have heard or read this line somewhere at least. If not, then probably you have never known girls. And just as diamonds and girls are inseparable, same is the case for dolls. A must have in every girl’s childhood, dolls of various shapes or sizes has wooed the feminine clan worldwide, since ages. So bringing girl’s both “best friends” under one roof, a toy maker from Japan has unveiled a diamond doll. Tomy Toys takes a bow as it flaunts the Licca-chan doll that carries a teasing price tag of $935,000. Tagged at a little less then 1 million, Licca-chan is decked with 881 diamonds that total up to 51.4-carats. Certainly not a toy for every kid, this extravagant doll is meant for an exhibition that signifies the need for blinged toys even as you grow older. Isn’t it time to reframe the line as “Diamond studded doll is a Girl’s Best Friend”?

As far as interior design is concerned, GoldBar in New York City looks like the unfortunate lovechild of Tim Burton and Liberace.
GoldBar features gilded and polished surfaces galore, but its main design feature are the 3,000 gold-covered skulls grouped throughout the space. The skulls were inspired by the catacombs in Paris and the Crypt of the Cappuccini Monks in Rome.
GoldBar’s decor is described as ‘Liberace macabre interior style.’ Somehow, the grouping of the skulls is more impressive than creepy.
