Morganite Pendant with Pave Champagne Diamonds
A few years back, I went to a gem show in New York and found this beautiful pink Morganite stone with near perfect clarity, cut and color and knew I had to have it. Morganite is in the Beryl family, the same family as aquamarine and emerald.
I knew I wanted the Morganite surrounded by diamonds. I held on to the stone for a few years thinking about a few designs. I decided that the stone had to be surrounded by champagne diamonds to compliment it’s pastel color. It is in an 18k gold setting with the sides carved out as waves in the ocean.
Morganite (8.08 cts) Champagne color Diamonds (.51 cts) set in 18k Gold.

Borgezie Gold and Diamond Shoes
![]()
Aficionado's of fine shoes might have felt betrayed the day Jimmy Choo started marketing his wares through H&M. How were they going to distinguish themselves from the masses if everyone could afford Jimmy’s high-end sandals? The day has finally come when the super-wealthy can differentiate themselves from the merely wealthy with the launch of Borgezie’s line. For a cool $155,000 you can deck your feet with a pair of gold and diamond stilettos. The shoes come with 2,200 diamonds weighing in at 30 carats set in a solid gold frame. A spare sets of soles and heels are thrown in for free as an incentive to close the deal.
