Corum Tourbillon Men's Watch

Well, let's just say that this watch is a little expensive. It's the Tourbillon Minute Repeating watch from Corum. I love the clear face where you can see all the gear and hardware of the watch. These watches are handcrafted and only 25 of these were made. The Tourbillon was invented in 1795 to neutralize the effects of gravity on the accuracy of a watch. The list price on this beauty is $465,000, but Ashford has it on sale here for only $216,457.50.

Bridal Necklace

This beautiful bridal necklace is handmade by the folks at Kincaid Designs. It is a single strand necklace that features handmade ivory glass beads, sterling silver, and pearls. So, if you're looking for an elegant necklace to go with your dress, then this just might be the necklace for you. It is $114 and is available here.

Diamond Earrings

Well, I found these earrings at Zales.com. They have 4 1/3 carats of diamonds ! Each earring has a 2 carat diamond in the center surrounded by many smaller diamonds set in a white gold frame. Zales has them listed here for $39,000 or $1268/month on your Zales card.

'Zeus' titanium ring

Well, did some more surfing for jewelry today and found this little gem. It's a titanium ring with a braided gold inlay. It's 10mm wide and a standard fit. It can also be made with a platinum inlay. I like it. It's made by Aris Titanium rings and for $395 it can be yours......

Handmade Braided Rings

Talk about having some talent.... Take a look at these rings by jewelry artist Todd Alan. He makes rings from gold and silver wire.

His website shows many styles of rings. They are all impressive. I am particularly fond of the two tone (gold and silver) rings.

You can visit his site at handwovenbands.com.

Mokume Gane rings

I love mokume gane rings. 'Mokume gane' means wood grain metal. Various layers of metal are fused together using high pressure and heat. The resulting metal is then carved and twisted to create some very interesting designs.

Once the metal is patterned, it can be made into rings, bracelets, earrings.....etc.


One of my favorite artiste is Steve Midgett (http://www.mokume.com) . Some of his rings are beautiful.

Welcome.....

Well, I always had an interest in jewelry. So, I've decided to start writing about both Men's and Women's jewelry. I plan on featuring retailers, manufacturers, and handmade jewelry. Handmade jewelry is what really fascinates me. So, stay tuned for more. -dave
