GIA diamond sealing services suspended!
Effective
immediately, GIA (Gemological Institute of America) will suspend diamond
sealing services. The Institute is taking this action after recently
encountering a small number of GIA sealing packets that had been compromised by
third parties after the sealing packets left GIA.
In
these instances, GIA determined that the diamonds originally enclosed in the
compromised packets had been replaced with HPHT (high-pressure,
high-temperature) treated natural diamonds. The substitute treated diamonds
superficially matched the GIA report information for the original diamonds,
including information on the sealing packet data label.

HW features fancy-colored center stones
The
collection features fancy-colored center stones paired with a combination of
diamonds and vibrant gems in complementing shades. The inspiration for the
collection began with a series of archival sketches dating back to the 1950s
and 60s that featured brightly colored cocktail rings in unexpected shades.
The
jewelry aesthetic at that time was about magnificence and grandeur and for
Harry Winston that meant creating the most extraordinary jewels, using
signature techniques such as the pairing of fancy shaped stones with round
brilliants and the use of intriguing color combinations.
Guild Awards featured bold platinum jewelry
The
glitz and glamour of Hollywood was in full swing tonight at the 26th Annual
Screen Actors Guild Awards. Platinum jewelry, the naturally white setting that
truly enhances the brilliance of diamonds and colored gemstones, perfectly
complemented the sea of colorful couture gowns worn by the world’s most famous
actors.
According
to celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger, “Statement jewelry designs set in
platinum were popular at the show and made an impact on tonight’s metallic
carpet. Whether it was Jennifer Lopez’s cascading diamond necklace, Charlize
Theron’s bracelet worn as a hairpiece, Reese Witherspoon’s link bracelet, or
Lupita Nyong’o’s diamond rings, the stars really came out glammed and ready to
shine. After all, platinum makes diamonds and gemstones sparkle even brighter!”
