We’ve discovered a really wonderful luxury site - and their jewelry editor, Annie Scott, has discovered Delamina.

The gem of desire, courage, passion and emotion – the ruby, considered a “precious” gemstone, has been coveted for centuries as Max Bauer wrote in 1894, “A clear, transparent, and faultless ruby of a uniform red color is at the present time the most valuable precious stone known.”

This elegant line, exquisitely crafted in 18k gold, includes dangling earrings, a wonderful ring, two different pendant tree necklaces, and an etched gold pendant choker– truly something for everyone. Each graceful piece is destined to become a treasured piece of art - a glorious symbol of time-without-end.

Thirty-three carats of London blue topaz are showcased in Enamorata’s 18-karat gold and diamond earrings, which boast the richest topaz blue I’ve ever seen. Considering the hefty carat weight, the $1800 price is decidedly reasonable. If, however, a four-digit tag still induces a case of sticker shock, the company offers an equally beautiful pair of 7.5-carat London blue topaz hoop earrings for a third of the price.

The coming days of spring are calling you to do something special for yourself. It’s time to spring forward with this beautiful 18k yellow gold and sterling silver ring with sparkling floral-tinted stones. This silver ring is adorned with solid 18k gold filigree, which makes it even more enticing.

But in dull economic times, there is a shiny nugget of good news: Now is the time to put your money on gold—or silver, platinum, diamonds, even enamel and wood. Jewelry, whether costume or the real McCoy, will weather both the economic storm and the ebb and flow of fickle fashion. Luckily, the Spring 2009 runways put forth a goldmine of investment-worthy statement baubles sure to give new life to last year’s looks.

With fashion’s flower power in full effect, it’s only natural that this natural trend would blossom into the accessories world as well. From brooches to bracelets, some of summer’s most stunning pieces were inspired by the great outdoors.

Sapphire has a very spiritual history. It is said that God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on tablets of sapphire. The divinity of this stone has led to it symbolizing faith, commitment and remembrance. Royalty and high priests throughout history have adorned themselves with sapphires. In Europe, sapphire was a traditional engagement stone. Remember Princess Diana’s gorgeous ring? If you have a sapphire you certainly will not feel blue!

A popular look for the bold “Right Hand Ring”, this style setting surrounds a larger center stone with several smaller stones. It is designed to create a beautiful larger ring from many smaller stones.

As my youngest child finishes her last weeks of high school and prepares to move across the country for college, I feel a wide range of emotions.

I was shocked. For some reason, this event stuck with me. As I continued about my day, the image haunted me. For 25 years I have worked in the jewelry industry, and have seen and repaired many a treasure.
