Obsessed with: $4million Louis Vuitton Earrings

Monday, November 3, 2008 0:30

I’m in love with the latest Louis Vuitton item, diamonds in the shape of its well-known symbols.

“We wanted to produce diamonds that resemble the Louis Vuitton brand,” says Albert Bensoussan, watch and fine jewelry director at Louis Vuitton Malletier, which has just launched two of its own patented diamond cuts.

Bensoussan is referring to the standard diamond shapes on the market—square, emerald, cushion and round—as a point of contrast to the two new shapes that Louis Vuitton has created and patented. Mirroring the monogram flowers that appear on Vuitton bags and trunks, the two different cuts are a rounded flower diamond (with curved petals) and a pointed flower diamond (with sharp petals). A brilliant-cut diamond—which essentially means a stone chiseled to create multiple facets, which in turn augment its white-light reflection, or brilliance—typically has 58 facets. The Vuitton diamonds have between 61 and 77 facets and have been set into a bracelet, a pair of earrings, two brooches, a ring and a necklace—the latter consisting of 1,001 tiny brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 15 carats, coexisting with 65 round flower diamonds (49 carats) and 79 pointed ones (44 carats), for a combined bling bang of 108 carats that retails for about $4 million. Vuitton has dubbed the collection Les Ardentes, which translates roughly as “the blazing.”

Closet to Nails

Sunday, November 2, 2008 21:09

Kuwait-Style.com welcomes new style editor, Noor. Let us know what you think of her post in the comments!

Now that the weather is getting cooler and we’re all preparing for what exists of the fall season in Kuwait, it is only natural to think of nail polish colors that matches the season and most importantly our closet (at least nail obsessed people like myself are).

Personally, I go to NStyle in Al Bustan Complex religiously since that is the place I felt the most comfortable in to get pampered. I truly enjoy their quiet and relaxing atmosphere, and the girls who work there are just extremely pleasant. I get french gel overlays for my fingernails, since I love having my fingernails “permanently” looking clean and shiny.

At NStyle I always have a hard time picking a color from their large variety of colors offered by Essie not even to mention the season colors Essie provides. This Fall season Essie is offering 4 colors:

- Forever Young: Not for the faint of heart, amp up the glam factor with this fiery tango red.
- No Boundaries: This juicy passionate plum is ripe for the picking. Bold and intoxicating, it’s anything but ordinary.
- Lacy Not Racy: A twist on a classic, this velvety vintage burgundy walks the line between naughty and nice.
- Tomboy No More: Transform into lady sophisticate with this red currant truffle luxe enough to satisfy any lady’s craving.

What colors will you be wearing this season?

You can visit at Al Bustan Complex, 1st Floor, Salem Al Mubarak Street, Salmiya. Call them at 25719050.
