Cannes Film Festival 2010


As the 68th Cannes Film Festival enters it's second week, Monday night saw the Swiss Jewelers Chopard celebrating it's 150th Anniversary with an A List bash.

The event certainly had it's share of Glam participants such as Paris Hilton, who was maxed out in fabulous baubles. The anniversary event also saw an appearance by actresses Meg Ryan, Kate Beckinsale, Marion Cotillard, Naomi Watts, Lindsay Lohan. Models Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova and Dree Hemingway. Lady Victoria Hervey and Princess of Venice and Piedmont Clotilde Courau and so many more.

Do you have $92,500 for a set of pearls?


When I last posted I talked about the fact that the price of pearls can vary, well, Christies (you know the fab. Auction House co.) held an auction for an 18 inch pearl necklace, consisting of a set of five strands of pearls, with three graduated strands of golden pearls alternating with two graduated strands of white pearls, finished off with a circular cut diamond openwork clasp in white gold. They exceeded the estimated $50,000-$70,000. The cost $92,500 (with buyers premium of course).

Wow, well they are beautiful and clearly an investment that will be a sheer pleasure to wear.
