Chopard to Be the Official Jeweler of Princess Diana's Biopic... Images Leaked!

Wednesday, July 10, 2013

Chopard was in the news recently after the high-profile heist at the Cannes Film Festival. And now they are in the news again, but with much better news.

As you all probably heard, Naomi Watts is portraying the Princess of Whales in the biopic, Diana. The wordless movie trailer alone will give you goose-pumps and make your heart melt.



The director, Oliver Hirschbiegel, focused the movie on the last few years of her life. So we will see a lot of the adoration she got from the public as well as her much scrutinized relationship with millionaire Dodi Fayed (check out pictures of  the final hours before the crash).

The movie is due in September and news just got out that Chopard will be the official jeweler.

That means lots of beautiful and over-priced bling. I have a feeling we will see the same designs copied by every fashion house in the world and they will probably be stylish must-haves within a week of the release (Just like the Tiffany/Great Gatsby craze that swept the world a few months ago).

Here are some movie stills released just yesterday.





The resemblance between Watts and the People's Princess is just uncanny.

Your turn... Do you think the Chopard bling from the movie will hit main street? How do you feel about Watt's portrayal of the Princess?

Movie Jewelry: The Internship

Saturday, June 15, 2013

Last night, I laughed so hard at the Ibn Battuta movie theater, that I am sure I embarrassed everyone around me. I was literally gasping for air and yes, a few deep snorts here and there.

The movie is called The Internship starring Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Rose Byrne. It's about two late-30's salesmen who lose their jobs only to find themselves as Google interns. Hilarity ensues as these two try to compete with young, tech-savy Ivy League-rs for a job at one of the best companies in the world. (Rotten Tomatoes Review gave it a 33% but I beg to differ!)

Aside from the great quips, I was really interested in the neck candy Rose Byrne's character was wearing. In one of the scenes, she had on a beautiful gold Wishbone pendant. I quickly researched to find it's a Jennifer Meyer creation.

Dana, Rose Byrne's Woraholic character, is Wilson's love interest in The Internship

Meyer laucnhed her collection in 2005 after working in the fashion industry for designers like Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren.

Her styles are simple and elegant made from white, yellow and rose 18-karat gold with delicate precious and semi-precious stone accents such as diamonds, black diamonds, turquoise, rubies, sapphires and emeralds.

Movie Jewelry: Tiffany & Co Rides The Great Gatsby Wave

Thursday, June 13, 2013

Catherine Martin, the woman behind the amazing costumes in The Great Gatsby, joined forces with Tiffany & Co. to bring you the decadent jewelry collection used in one of the most talked-about movies of 2013. The movie adaptation of F. Scot Fitzgerald's classic novel is directed by Baz Luhrmann and has already grossed over 136 million dollars since it's May release. 

Martin, an Australian costume designer, catapulted to the lime light with her double Oscar-win for Moulin Rouge back in 2001. She was also the creative mind behind Australia and William Shakespeare's Rome & Juliet.

If you are wondering why she's contributed to almost all of Baz Luhrmann's movies, it's because she's his wife -  they met in college and tied the knot in 1997.

In the build up to the release of the movie, the Tiffany & Co. flagship store on Fifth Avenue unveiled the Jazz Age Glamour collection with their roaring 20's inspired windows. The opulent pieces are available for purchase and it includes the 24 karat savoy headpiece worn by Carey Mulligan's character Daisy, for a whopping 724,000 AED (200,000 USD).

And if you think the prices are outrageously high that no one would buy in this down-trodden economy, think again! The 176 year old company saw a 9% increase in revenue, an amount analysts were not expecting.
