A growing number of high-earning career women view purchasing their own Elsa Peretti Eternal Circle earrings as a right.

Some women may consider gems as seriously as men do vintage motors.

Laurelton Hall of Tiffany
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on August 24th, 2009
Louis Comfort Tiffany is the great person, who contributed a lot to the development of Tiffany & Co. All the RETURN TO TIFFANY fans remember his name in mind.
On Louis Comfort Tiffany and Laurelton Hall: An Artist’s Country Estate, which was opened in the Metropolitan Museum, visitors could see every aspect of Heart Band Bangle, which he built in Oyster Bay, N.Y., from 1902 to 1905. On view was sumptuous leaded-glass windows; vases, pottery and enamelware; and lighting Heart tag charm Toggle bracelet and stained-glass windows, all of which adorned the 84-room, eight-level house on nearly 600 acres overlooking Long Island Sound.
Laurelton Hall was more than simply Tiffany’s country home: in 1918 it became an educational center when he established a residency program for artists that continued after his death in 1933. While he was still living at Laurelton Hall, he gave the house to a foundation he set up. But the costs of maintaining the house were so prohibitive that its contents were auctioned off in 1946, and three years later the foundation sold the house and the land.
Unfortunately, Laurelton Hall was ravaged by fire in 1957.
Reality show contestant found dead in Canada motel
HOPE, British Columbia – For Ryan Jenkins, life ended in a suicide in a remote Canadian motel room, and police who had sought the reality show contestant in the killing of his ex-wife hunted Monday for someone new: the mysterious woman who accompanied him to his lodgings.

AP – This photo provided by TMZ, shows Ryan Alexander Jenkins and Jasmine Fiore’s March 18, 2009 wedding in …Jenkins was accused of killing his ex-wife, a model whose body was so badly mutilated when found in a trash bin outside Los Angeles it had to be identified by her breast implants’ serial numbers. He evaded a massive international manhunt for days as he crossed from California into his native Canada.
The dramatic end came at an isolated motel at the edge of British Columbia’s mountainous interior, on the outskirts of Hope, a town with limited claims to fame as the place where the first Rambo movie was filmed and where residents make giant wooden carvings with chainsaws.
On Sunday evening, police responded to a call from motel staff about a dead person, and then called investigators who were part of the manhunt for Jenkins, said Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police border integrity unit.
The manager of The Thunderbird Motel and his nephew said they found Jenkins hanging from the bar of a coat rack by a belt. They said a young woman had checked him in to the two-story inn surrounded by trees.
The 32-year-old real estate developer and investor was charged in California with first-degree murder Thursday after the dismembered body of Jasmine Fiore was found in a trash bin in Buena Park, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles.
Fiore’s teeth had been pulled out and her fingers cut off, apparently to impede her identification. Investigators used the serial numbers on her breast implants to identify her, Orange County prosecutors said.
On Monday, Fiore’s mother, Lisa Lepore, said that she had a mixed reaction to news of Jenkins’ death.
“It brings some closure to what’s been going on,” said Lepore, who lives in Maui, Hawaii. “We don’t have to worry about looking for him anymore or being worried that he is a threat to any other women or men.”
She added: “We still have a long process of closure.”
Lepore spoke on NBC’s “Today” show.
Kevin Walker, who manages the Thunderbird Motel, said Jenkins and the mystery woman arrived Thursday in a Chrysler PT Cruiser with tinted windows and license plates from Alberta, Jenkins’ home province. He stayed in the car while the woman checked them in, he said.
She was blonde, in her early 20s and “naturally pretty, one of those wholesome little ladies,” he said.
Walker said the woman paid cash for three nights’ stay.
“He stayed in the car far, far away from the front of the office,” Walker said. “I didn’t think nothing of it because it’s just a couple checking in.”
Walker said he never saw the woman again.
“I didn’t see her leave, but apparently the tenant in No. 1 (next to Jenkins’ room) said she only stuck around for about 20 minutes,” he said.
Adam Curt, 19, a motel employee and Walker’s nephew, said Jenkins “looked stressed out,” adding: “He wouldn’t look anybody in the eye.”
Walker said he didn’t recognize the man although Jenkins’ face had been all over the news.
“In no way shape or form did he look like the man on TV,” he said. “He looked spent.”
The motel manager said when the couple didn’t check out, he unlocked the room and found Jenkins dead.
“I cracked the door and there he was, hanging there in front of me, feet touching” the floor, Walker said. “He definitely wanted to die. I smelt death.”
Michelle Beck, who lives near the motel, said people who stay there are “kind of seedy — lots of drugs addicts and people down on their luck.”
Police carried out bags of Jenkins’ belongings, including his laptop computer, Walker said.
Hope is about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from Point Roberts, Washington state, the last place Jenkins was reported to have been seen before he crossed into Canada.
“The sadness of this all is that Mr. Jenkins will not stand before an Orange County jury for his crime,” Buena Park Police Lt. Steve Holiday said at a Sunday night press conference.
Holiday said his department’s investigation would continue. The British Columbia Coroner’s Service is also investigating Jenkins’ death and police are trying to determine how he got to Hope.
After Jenkins disappeared last week, his boat was found Wednesday at a marina not far from the U.S.-Canada border south of Vancouver. Canadian authorities launched a massive border search using helicopters, ground police and dogs.
“The ring was tightening on him,” Tom Hession, chief inspector for the U.S. Marshals Service’s regional fugitive task force, said at the California news conference. “He obviously was desperate.”
Jenkins and Fiore met in Las Vegas in March and they married a few weeks later. The couple separated shortly afterward, but had reportedly reconciled.
Friends said Fiore was a model who worked mainly in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, doing gigs such as being bodypainted at parties. She also was an aspiring actress and had a bit part in a small 2008 horror science-fiction movie, “The Abandoned,” according to the Internet Movie Database.
Jenkins was recently a contestant on VH1 reality show “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” in which wealthy young men tried to win over a materialistic blonde. The network canceled the show Friday.
Lisa Lepore told The Associated Press earlier this week that her daughter had the marriage annulled in May. However, there were no court records of an annulment in either Nevada, where the couple was married, or in Los Angeles County, where they most recently lived.
The two were married in a Las Vegas casino after taping for “Megan Wants a Millionaire” finished in early March, Lepore said. Court records show the date of marriage as March 18.
But in May they fought because he was jealous of her ex-boyfriends, Lepore said.
Jenkins also was a participant in an as-yet-unaired competitive reality series, “I Love Money 3.” A VH1 spokesman said no decision has been made on whether or not to run the show.
A resume posted on the professional networking site LinkedIn.com says Jenkins had a license to fly commercial airplanes and dabbled in several development enterprises.
Jenkins had been charged with allegedly hitting Fiore in the arm recently, court records showed.
In his hometown of Calgary, Jenkins was sentenced to 15 months probation in January 2007 on an unspecified assault charge.
Prosecutors said Jenkins and Fiore checked into a San Diego hotel Aug. 13, and Jenkins checked out the next morning. Fiore was never seen alive again.
Venezuela repeats at Miss Universe contest
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on August 24th, 2009
NASSAU, Bahamas – Miss Venezuela was the fairest of them all once again, winning the 2009 Miss Universe crown for the second year straight and the sixth time since the pageant’s creation.
Dressed in a flowing red gown, 18-year-old Stefania Fernandez hugged the runner-up from the Dominican Republic and danced in joy as her victory was announced Sunday.
The crown briefly fell to the floor as it passed from one Venezuelan beauty to the next.
AP – Miss Venezuela Stefania Fernandez, left, reacts as Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza, also of Venezuela, …
But Fernandez said there was time for outgoing Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza to whisper in her ear that she must have worked hard for Venezuela to win consecutive crowns.
“What do we Venezuelans have?” Fernandez, an international relations student, told reporters after the pageant. “That we are ourselves.”
The other top-five finalists were runner-up Ada Aimee de la Cruz, followed by Miss Kosovo, Droga Ganusha; Miss Australia, Rachael Finch; and Miss Puerto Rico, Mayra Matos Perez.
During a question-and-answer segment with the five top finalists, Fernandez said she believed women have overcome obstacles such as hitting the proverbial glass ceiling.
“I feel we have reached the level that men are at,” she said.
When asked later how she thought beauty contests promoted equality between men and women, Fernandez said they provided exposure.
“We have quite a following worldwide,” she said. “We are models to follow.”
The new Miss Universe is from the city of Merida in the west of a beauty-obsessed South American country where hard-fought pageants are something of a national sport, with contestants widely dissected by the public and the media.
Fernandez said she did not know whether Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez would receive her. He did not meet with Mendoza when she won and made no public statements at the time.
But Fernandez said he might change his mind.
“We’ll see, because we are making history,” she said.
The top 15 Miss Universe finalists appeared in bathing suits before the final 10 were chosen for the evening gown segment.
Pageant co-owner Donald Trump told reporters, “I think this is the most beautiful group of women I’ve ever seen.”
The televised event included musical performances by Flo Rida, Heidi Montag, David Guetta and Kelly Rowland.
Montag gave her first live performance, singing “Body Language” from her debut album.
Fans cheered on the blond star of MTV’s “The Hills,” although NBC, which broadcast the event in the Bahamas live, blocked out more than half of her performance as they introduced the 15 finalists.
“It’s my first performance live and it’s in front of a billion eyes,” Montag said.
The on-stage hosts were Billy Bush, co-anchor of “Access Hollywood,” and Claudia Jordan, a former Miss Rhode Island USA who has appeared on several TV shows. Judges included actor Dean Cain and supermodel Valeria Mazza.
Miss China, Wang Jingyao, was named Miss Congeniality and Miss Thailand, Chutima Durongdej, won Miss Photogenic.
Many contestants have suffered from dehydration in recent weeks, and Jewel Selver, Miss Turks and Caicos, went home Saturday to recuperate, said Esther Swan, Miss Universe spokeswoman.

Classical Links of London
Leviev, like most diamantaires, was once a sightholder – one of the chosen few hand-picked by De Beers to buy directly from the diamond giant at pre-determined prices. Now he is its major competitor Links of London Jewellery, the world’s largest cutter and polisher of precious gems and a significant miner of diamonds.
And finally to prove that he is a force to be reckoned with all along the diamond value chain, he opened his own retail chain of diamond shops last year, including an outlet near De Beers’ store on London’s Old Bond Street.
Leviev’s personal wealth was estimated by Forbes magazine in 2004 to be $2USbn Links of London Charms. The Israel-based Leviev Group has other business interests, ranging from property to media, and he also owns the Gottex swimwear brand and a chain of petrol stations.
But diamonds are his passion, one that has been fuelled by “intense hatred of De Beers”, according to Forbes.
Leviev has taken business away from the Oppenheimers in Russia, Angola and Namibia. He has also inspired others, like UK mining giant Rio Tinto, to bypass De Beers by selling diamonds directly to the cutting and polishing industries.
It started in Russia in the 1990s when Leviev Classic Smiley Minx Charm, through close links with Russian politicians, including current president Vladimir Putin, helped set up a joint venture with a state firm, now Alrosa. Alrosa diverted many gems earmarked for De Beers’ London offices to Russian factories for polishing and cutting. Not surprisingly, Leviev emerged as the owner of the factories when they were privatised.
But more worrying for the Oppenheimers is that he is now making moves to challenge them on their home turf in Botswana and SA.
