Mae Yokoyama, a Masters Jewelery design student at the Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Sweden offers you the Lux solar panel collar.

Finished with solar panels, the Lux is a necklace for women that collects energy from the sun during daytime to lighten the LED bulbs, giving an appearance of glittering pearls in the dark.

Not only is this a fashion statement, it also raises the awareness of energy conservation to others.

Barney’s Bling is matching jewelry for people and their pets using genuine diamonds and precious metals, created by southern California resident, Bridget Livingston.

The concept was born in 2007, when Bridget met her baby Barney, a Yorkie, while on vacation in Chicago. She spoiled her new best friend with cashmere sweaters and organic treats, but noticed that his jewelry kept falling apart.

She saw an opportunity as she searched Los Angeles’ finest pet stores unable to find some real quality “bling” for Barney…so she took it upon herself to create her own. Bridget also decided to add in some matching bling for herself as an extra treat.

The signature design is based on the concept that each pet makes a paw print on their owner’s heart. The entire collection is about connecting the hearts of people and their pets in an elegant and sophisticated manner. Barney’s Bling even offers “Daddy jewelry,” which has a more masculine feel…the necklace comes on a leather rope instead of a 16” chain.

Matching t-shirts for pets and owners as well as bling collars, leashes, and even custom designs for the discerning customer are all available, with prices ranging from $40 to $4,850.

Bridget and Barney believe in karma and charitable causes, so 10% of proceeds are donated to Perfect Pet Rescue and Autism Speaks, to benefit both people and pets ^_^

Ultra-luxury Swiss watchmaking house Audemars Piguet has launched two new stunning watch and necklace sets.

There are two sets of matching 18K white gold and diamond watches and necklaces for women, the Coup de Theatre and Carnet de Bal. Both watches use the AP calibre 2046 movement with manual winding (18 jewels) that beats at a frequency of 21 600 vph and provides 42 hours power reserve.

The “Carnet de Bal” series (above) was inspired by flower arrangements, creating a glittering floral spray of diamonds along the wrist and around the neck. The 18-carat white gold timepiece includes 481 gems of varying cuts totaling 59.53 carats. The matching necklace has 1,039 round, brilliant, marquise, pear, and baguette-cut diamonds.

Words cannot describe how glamorous the effect is !

The new Jaeger-LeCoultre Le Lierre Collection is a green fantasy turned to life! Swiss watchmaker has succeeded in producing an extraordinary creation of artistic haute joaillerie. Comprised of a watch, a necklace, earrings, and a ring, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Le Lierre set recreates the lush beauty of coiled ivy leaves, rendered entirely in 18K yellow gold, tsavorites, yellow sapphires, and diamonds.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Le Lierre wristwatch is a cuff-type design, which conceals its dial beneath one of the “leaves”; the complex 18K gold structure creates the vines of the ivy, while the deep green tsavorites and yellow sapphires capture the hue of ivy leaves, complete with the contrasting veining.

The set comes complete with a necklace, a bracelet, a ring and a pair of in 18k yellow gold and yellow sapphires.

In total, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Lierre watch and jewelry set demands more than 1,300 hours of labor by master jewelers, and comprises approximately 14,000 gemstones. Jaeger-LeCoultre has indicated that the suggested retail price for set is 3 million Euros (USD 4.3 million).

It took 10 years for Japanese jeweler Mikimoto to find just the right pearls for this necklace. The 18-inch-long strand is composed of 27 perfectly matched, perfectly round White South Sea pearls (extremely rare AAA quality cultured pearls 15.06 x 17.24 mm in diameter) and bears a “heart-stopping” luster, Mikimoto says.

The South Sea White cultured pearl is distinguished from all other pearls by its magnificent, satiny luster. MIKIMOTO South Sea White cultured pearls have a subdued, opalescent appearance which changes slightly under different light conditions.

This spectacular piece is complemented by a gorgeous art deco oval clasp with 11.92 carats of diamonds. It’s on sale for $1 million and available for a limited time at MIKIMOTO New York.
