A Girl's Best Planet

A planet full of natural diamonds? Is it too good to be true?

According to a most recent discovery by astronomers, a new planet(WASP-12b)could be made up of moutains of diamonds due to its high carbon-to-oxygen ration:

"The high carbon-to-oxygen ratio indicates a carbide or diamond interior rather than the silicate geology of the Earth," said Nikku Madhusudhan, a Princeton astrophysicist, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Still, the "mountain of diamonds" is only a theory and needs to be explored more thoroughly. But wouldn't that be awesome?

Minimal to the Max

Simple. Fashion is rarely simple, but that's the (somewhat) aim of the latest Spring 2011 trend. No ruffles or folds, just clean cut lines. Jewelry will mimic this in the consumer with popular purchases steming towards the classic and simple:

Bright n' Bold

The Bigger, the Bolder, the Better!

Bright statement pieces are as big as ever this coming Spring.

Here is a sneak peak at some of the latest from

by JewelMak to keep you at the forefront.

18K Gold plated over Brass

App It All!

The phone app has officially taken over the world of consumerism this holiday season. More people are buying online than ever and a great deal of those are over their phones. This past weekend was the official start of the holiday shopping season and has always been a barometer of retail sales for rest of the year.

Well things seem to be looking up, with more shoppers out and online this weekend. We can expect this continue. Wall Street Strategies analyst Brian Sozzi was quoted "The holiday season is no longer black Friday or bust, it's really becoming Black November". (Forbes.com) This increase in consumerism, it's important for retailers to stay aggressive through the season. Retail buying happens at such a rate that no one can afford to wait for event days.

Once the main holiday gifting season has passed, it will then turn to the challenge of retailers maintaining such interest and investment for Valentine's Day...

Happy Thanksgiving!

New York Thrives In New Jersey

Press Release

FINE JEWELRY POPS!

New York’s local fine jewelry store is bringing its designer style to Livingston Mall

The holiday season is fast approaching and one of the most popular gift items for any gift giving occasion is jewelry. This October sees the opening of Ginkgo New York The jewelry outlet located in the lower level of Livingston Mall in Livingston, New Jersey. This is the third retail location for the fine jewelry retailer and its first pop up outlet store. For the following four months the new store will offer shoppers a wide range of choices from high end designer collections to simple and conservative fine jewelry at a discounted price.

Shoppers will not only enjoy discounts up to 65% off, but also at a considerably lower gold cost.

Ginkgo New York puts an emphasis on personal service together with 70% of its merchandise produced in house at its headquarters in Manhattan which allows the store to handle their own quality control and offer repair services for a small fee. Local customers can also preview special items online at www.ginkgonewyork.com.

The personal service and wide fashionable selection have always separated Ginkgo New York from the average fine jewelry store and the new outlet store will be even more different: it will also feature a special selection of diamonds which none of its sister stores currently offer.

Since its grand opening earlier this October in Livingston Mall, Ginkgo New York The jewelry outlet has received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from the mall going public.

The original Ginkgo New York fine jewelry opened its doors in the fall of 2005 and has become a local staple at its Midtown East Manhattan flagship location. It has also been building an international fan base with its Caribbean sister store Ginkgo Caribe in the Dominican Republic since opening in April 2009.

Stay Warm!

If red is too much for you, try other warm tones such as coral or deep orange. You'll be seeing lots of those this fall/winter season. Coral is warm, bright and powerfully feminine while deep orange has always been a fall favorite and this season is no exception.

The November issue of Good Housekeeping features actress/talk show host Kelly Ripa on the cover wearing JewelMak's gold overlay bangles from the Eclipse collection.

Inside the story, Ripa is wearing the Carnelian Layered Bib Necklace from our Eclipse collection.

The Emmy Look

First things first: Great job Jimmy Fallon on a great, fun opening number.

This was definitely a year of obvious trends. Can we say One Shoulder? With the exception of the love it/mostly hated January Jones Versace Atelier dress, last night featured many lovely style choices.

Looks we loved:

Arguably the best of the night, Claire Danes wearing Armani Privé pink arched strapless dress completely beaded. She accented it all with a very large diamond pave ring. Overall the look was soft and regal with the exception of her powerplant spray tan glow.

Jane Lynch's purple taffeta one shoulder form fitting dress by Ali Rahimi with a small brooch accent from her sister in law. This look was different for her in the fit, since she has been seen wearing similar jewel tones but with larger more princess style skirts. Last night's choice was still in her wheelhouse and she looked terrific.

Ty Burell from Modern Family in a PeeWee Herman inspired gray flannel suit. Bow tie included. It was a fashion risk and some fashion purists will hate it but the look was fitting for the character he plays and made us laugh so we loved it. However the brown shoes left much to be desired.

Jesse Tyler Furgeson should give his co-star pointers on the shoes because his own uniquely different choice rocked.

Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta navy blue strapless dress. Great hair and love the dark nails. the wraparound ruffles at the bottom of the skirt was a great accent. She was one of the few who wore major jewelry pieces with a statement bib collar necklace and large cuff.

Keri Russell in a bright pink vintage Jean Louis Sherrer dress that was very Marilyn Monroe-esque.

Sofia Vergara in a soft yellow with gold detailing from the Carolina Herrara Resort 2010 collection accented with her pronounciation of Herrrara.

Kim Kardashion in white Marchesa gown with white and gold egyptian style beaded halter neckline with a long forearm cuff.

Jayma Mays in a staple navy blue strapless Burberry Prorsum with vintage style gold Neil Lane necklace and beaded bracelets.

Not so much love:

Tina Fey in a black beaded over satin Oscar de la Renta form fitting dress. There wasn't a lot of bling on the carpet, yet we would have liked the ensemble a little better without her choice of drop earrings.

Kate Gosselin. She just shouldn't be there.

January Jones in that bright electric blue very constructed Versace Atelier. We give her PR team credit. This choice got everyone talking, but more in the any press is good press approach. She wore the same designer last year but that choice was a positive showstopper. This year's dress is definitely made for show, but perhaps not for actual wearable reality. Given that, she did not seem to care about anything else. The bedhead was not appropiate and you just don't wear black shoes with such a dress. It was an odd ensemble.

Christina Hendricks. We love her dearly. She's been doing for curvy women what Crystal Renn has been claiming to do, but her Zac Posen dress was a miss. Lavender is not her color and no one should wear ostrich feathers.

Jewel in a pink bejeweled tiered dress with a sweetheart neckline by Zuhair Murad. We are not a fan of pink nor were we fans of those large drop earrings that looked like a kindergartener made them during arts & crafts.

Of all the jewelry trends that were on display, large drop earrings and cuffs were definitely in. Pics soon to follow. In the meantime, do you agree on our list?

Tin is In!

The tin cup is back in full force! Although it never really went away, its popularity has certainly regained its height.

Here are the top 3 reasons to like the tin cup:

1. It gets its name from the popular Kevin Costner movie Tin Cup.
Not only did this movie catapult the Tin Cup style into the mainstream, it came out right after Waterworld and did well.

Renee Russo is wearing a white pearl tin cup necklace in the movie poster

2. It's an optical illusion.

The appeal of style is that the style is made to appear as if you are wearing a floating string of pearls and/or stones.

3. All year round.

The simplicity of the style allows it to be seasonless. Summer or winter, tin cups will fit right in.

All tin cup styles available from JewelMak at www.jewelmak.com.

Match Maker Series: Fall Double Edition

We are jumping ahead in our Match Maker Series right into the Fall 2010 color scheme from the Pantone fashion color report and doubling up our color selection. This month we're mad about Lipstick Red and Woodbine. These two colors are stand outs on their own but can also be complimentary with each other when balanced evenly together.

Layering necklaces, long and short, is a trend that has carried over from the past two seasons. Compiling the different assortments can be fun but sometimes you just may not have the time to mix and match. JewelMak's new layered bib necklaces solves that issue with fashionable results.

JewelMak's layered bib necklaces with multi gemstones and gold plated sterling silver chains. Available as part of the "Eclipse" collection on http://www.jewelmak.com/.

Latest in Larimar

Larimar is a one of a kind stone. Meaning that no matter how many times a style is reproduced, the stone will never have the same pattern twice. And despite its Caribbean origins, this stone can go from summer fun to winter ice for a look that's all year round. Below you'll find some of our latest styles:

JewelMak's latest in our larimar stone collection maintains its simplicity while introducing some vintage inspired chandelier details.

Our new elongated ellipse larimar ring compliments all hand types and elongates your fingers

Being a very hard stone to cut, Larimar is at its best in asymmetrical shapes. It makes for a bolder statement without having to being oversized.

All styles shown are available upon request from JewelMak at 212.398.2999. More styles are available online at www.jewelmak.com
