It would seem that period and antique engagement rings are becoming increasingly popular with international celebrities.

Perhaps the first to kick off this recent trend was Welsh beauty Catherine Zeta Jones, who in 2000 received a ten carat antique marquise cut diamond engagement ring dating from the 1920s from Michael Douglas, with an estimated value of around two million dollars. Though not of Hollywood fame, in 2005 Camilla Parker Bowles was given an Art Deco diamond ring by Prince Charles. Set with a central emerald cut diamond flanked by six diamond baguettes, it was once owned by the Queen Mother. Another family heirloom, Scottish actor Ross McCall proposed to American actress Jennifer Love-Hewitt in 2007 with an antique diamond ring that had been in his family for over one hundred years. The following year another American starlet, Scarlett Johansson, became engaged to actor Ryan Reynolds with an antique cushion cut diamond solitaire on a gold band. And in late 2009, the Spanish pair Penelope Cruz and Javier Barden became engaged, the ring being an antique sapphire and diamond cluster ring on a gold band, all the stones in collet settings. Finally, just this year British comedian David Walliams proposed to his Dutch supermodel girlfriend, Lara Stone, with a period ring dating from the 1930s composed of a diamond centre stone with diamond set shoulders.

It is no surprise that the world’s most stylish women are wearing antique engagement rings, as they will ever be a fashionable yet timeless choice.

Since inexpensive freshwater pearls cultured in China became easy to obtain in the early 2000s, jewelry designers have been exploring design possibilities for pearl necklaces, bracelets and earrings that depart from the classic design of uniform strands of pearls knotted in silk. By using your creativity and keeping certain technical details in mind, you can design your own pearl necklace that is formal or casual, elegant or rustic…in fact, suitable to any style you please.
Step 1
Examine the variety of pearls available to you to select the ones you will use when you design your own pearl necklace. While some pearls are natural, most affordable freshwater pearls on the market are dyed. Cultured freshwater pearls come in colors ranging from pure white to midnight blue. As the technology of culturing pearls has evolved to include seeding pearls with non-traditional inorganic shapes, jewelry designers are seeing more pearls in free-form shapes, as well as stick pearls and coin pearls (flat pearls in circular, square, triangular or other shapes).

Step 2
Select your other beads with practicality in mind, taking into account how pearls differ from stone, glass, wood, plastic and other bead types. As organic substances covered by a delicate nacre, or iridescent layer, pearls are vulnerable to light, water and friction. Set adjacent to rough stones, pearls will get abraded over time. Knot the beading cord between the pearls and other stones to solve this problem.

Step 3
Select your beading or stringing wire in an equally practical spirit. Pearls are drilled with very fine holes. Use beading wire, silk cord or gold or sterling silver wire that is fine enough to fit the pearls’ drill holes, in addition to the drill holes of your other beads. Make sure that the drill holes are the right size for the beading wire when you design your pearl necklace.

Step 4
Explore contrast in designing the layout of your pearl necklace strand. Pearls stand out when paired with contrasting surface textures, such as those of gemstone beads, sterling silver beads and even bone beads. The delicate pastels, neutrals, and jewel tones of cultured freshwater pearls contrast well with glittering faceted Czech glass, Swarovsky crystals, or garnet, amethyst or other transparent and semi-transparent faceted semiprecious gemstones. Contrast in size and shape is also effective: use seed pearls in place of regular spacer beads, or fashion a small graduated array of stick pearls as an impromptu pendant in the center of your strand.

Step 5
Lay out the pearls and other beads on a beading board or towel to see how the design looks. Fasten a clasp–and choose a clasp that matches the design in both size and style–only after you’re sure the design will work in practice as well as in theory. Sometimes seeing the design of your beaded necklace laid out reveals design flaws.

The breath of freedom has resulted in numerous styles and designs nowadays. There is something unique and special for everyone. The sophisticated lovers of classics can enjoy, for instance, precious red gold with pink mother of pearl cufflinks, crowned with a tiny diamond. Minimalist clear forms appear to be timeless and precious. The simple geometric forms of cufflinks are very much appealing to today’s men.

However, new forms and materials are increasingly used by many contemporary designers to gradually accustom males to more courageous view of jewelry. Today, the brothers Villa, Italian jewelers, are renowned as kings in the world of cufflinks. They state that a gentleman should have a vast number of cufflinks, various in design and manifold in number. Apart from traditional ones, a serious man collection can well include intricate cufflinks, for instance, gold elephants, owlets and so on. Even a portrait of a special person can be engraved for a cufflinks owner.

In short, men can use the quantitative jewelry minimalism to their advantage and succeed in creating of that unique, groomed and well-dressed gent image as far as they manage to put accents in a style-conscious way. And we, their better half, are always ready to render a skilful helping hand if necessary… or even a neck, masterfully decorated with a gorgeous diamond necklace.
