Diamonds are for Trevor


In this male-dominated world it is usually women who have the advantage where jewellery, clothes and accessories are concerned.



But a diamond company has tilted the balance in favour of men by creating the world’s most expensive tie. It costs – hold your breath – Dh1 million and is studded with 261 diamonds weighing 77 carats and 200g of white gold.


The maker, India’s Suashish Diamonds, was not satisfied with having its brand Ishi’s sold through more than 130 outlets in 25 cities in India and the Middle East. It wanted the world to really sit up and take notice – and so it created the sparkling tie.


“The product design team wanted to do something to make the brand stand out,” said the group’s Marketing Vice-president Siddharth Kedia. “So they came up with the idea of making the most expensive and unique tie in the world because this was something that had never been done before.”


Managing Director Ashish Goenka said: “I was wowed when they brought the idea to me.
“It was a unique concept and went very well with our policy of wanting to position our products as aspirational and our desire to showcase our design and product development strengths to the world,” said Goenka.


Suashish Diamonds, whose retail partner in Dubai is Joy Alukkas, linked up with the upmarket boutique Satya Paul to create the tie from pure silk in Ishi’s brand colour, purple. It was launched with a lot of fanfare at a Satya Paul fashion show in Mumbai.


Bollywood actor Salman Khan created a sensation when he walked down a red-carpeted ramp wearing the Dh1m tie. Pictures of him with the glittering creation around his neck were flashed around the globe.


The tie achieved what Ishi’s design team had set out to do – it made the world sit up and take notice.


Kedia added: “That was the launch of our World’s Most Expensive Series of Products line. The tie got Ishi’s instant international recognition and helped position it as a leading jewellery brand in the Indian and Middle East markets. We got quite a few orders for more ties, albeit on a smaller scale, after people saw the photographs.”


Ishi’s team did not rest on their laurels – they went on to make the world’s most expensive waistband for women. The Dh2m band, studded with 8,000 diamonds weighing 200 carats set in one kilogram of pink gold, was modelled by Bollywood star Bipasha Basu. They followed this with the most expensive armband in the world, which was studded with 10,000 diamonds set in one kilogram of gold in four shades. The Dh3.6m sensation was modelled by former Miss Universe Natalie Glebova.


Goenka said: “If anyone wants to place an order with us for any of these exclusive products then they should get in touch with Suashish Diamonds or the Ishi’s design team.


“We will surely not disappoint them as our team have shown that they can create anything,” said the managing director.

Prince William to propose to Kate Middleton? Harry already asked Chelsy Davy?


Prince William is reportedly planning to propose to girlfriend Kate Middleton in the next few weeks - and his younger brother Prince Harry is already said to have popped the question to Chelsy Davy.
According to the People newspaper, William is planning to use one of his mother Princess Diana’s favourite rings for the engagement and has already asked his uncle, Diana’s brother Earl Spencer for permission to do so.
A source told the newspaper: “William is sure his mother would have approved of Kate. So he approached his uncle to see what he thought of the idea.”
“Using one of Diana’s rings is the greatest symbol William can think of to show how important Kate is. It will also keep his mother’s memory to the fore on his big day. Assuming Kate accepts, it will be like a union of the two most important women in his life.”
The source added that while the couple are currently holidaying together on an exclusive island in the Seychelles, William is more likely to propose at the royal estate in Balmoral, Scotland: “Balmoral has special memories for them because it’s where they used to sneak off for discreet weekends when they were students at St Andrews.”
“It is where the romance started. William thought it would be the place with the most meaning to them.”
Meanwhile, Prince Harry is said to have proposed to Chelsy during a recent safari holiday in Botswana.A source told the Sunday Mirror that the couple pledged to marry when Chelsy has finished her postgraduate degree - and will hold off announcing the engagement until then: “Harry and Chelsy are serious about each other and are both keen to make more of a commitment.”
“Neither of them can imagine living without the other. It’s just a question of how and when it will happen.”
Chelsy, who was born in Zimbabwe, currently lives in South Africa but is thought to be enrol at the University of Leeds next month to study politics - and be closer to Harry.
The source, claiming to be a friend of the Prince, went on: “[Harry] has also come to realise that what he and Chelsy have is pretty special. It’s natural they would want to settle down.”
“[But] for now he does not want her to be a public figure and they both want time for their relationship to develop as normally as possible. It will be 18 months down the line before they go public about their engagement.”

Court decision scores knockout for Tiffany against jewelry knockoffs

A federal court in New York has entered a final judgment by consent for jewelry retailer Tiffany & Co. and against Starglam Inc. and its principal owner, enjoining them from any further infringement of the Tiffany name and trademark. Starglam had been charged with selling Tiffany knockoffs online and via retail stores.

Under the judgment, defendants paid Tiffany $950,000. The principal owner had previously pled guilty to charges of trademark counterfeiting and has served his sentence, Tiffany says.
“We are pleased to announce this judgment,” says Tiffany’s chairman and CEO Michael Kowalski. “Trademark counterfeiting severely damages brand owners and consumers alike. The way to stop it is to take aggressive action against the counterfeiters and make them pay, criminally as well as civilly. That’s what happened in this case which should send a message to anyone trying to sell counterfeit Tiffany merchandise.”

Starglam was charged with selling the counterfeits on the Internet, including on eBay. Tiffany, No. 98 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, has a civil suit awaiting trial in a federal court in New York against eBay because of the large amount of counterfeit Tiffany silver merchandise that has been sold on eBay auction sites, Tiffany says.

Starglam also was accused of distributing counterfeit silver Tiffany merchandise, some of which was purchased in Asia and some in New York, Tiffany says. The government brought proceedings against the New York seller who was prosecuted and convicted.

Court freezes assets in diamond fraud case

A state judge issued an injunction Monday that freezes all assets of the defendants who were accused of stealing $3.3 million in diamonds as part of an alleged "bust-out" scheme to defraud 45 diamond companies. Alfred Avi Taub, A Taub Diamonds Corp., Shalom S. Taub, Ora Taub, Oran Taub, Oran Designs and Shiran Atias are "restrained from transferring any and all assets, either personal assets or corporate assets," according to court papers filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in Manhattan as part of a civil suit filed by the diamond companies.

The restraint also covers joint assets and says all income to the defendants will be received by a court-appointed receiver, Paul R. Sklar, who will manage their assets. A temporary restraining order had been in effect since July 2 against all the defendants except Atias.The civil suit, filed by attorney Cindy Molloy, who is representing 45 diamond companies, but says her firm is aware of at least 91 alleged victims, was filed on June 28.

It alleges that Alfred Avi Taub established A Taub Diamonds Corp., a diamond wholesale business in New York's diamond district, in April 2006, and together with his father, Shalom S. Taub, rapidly established credit and contacts within the diamond industry by initially paying the bills on small transactions over a period of 11 months, and using clients as references for one another, court papers said.

But this April and May, the suit alleges, the company had built up its credit enough to "bust out," and Alfred and Shalom Taub, as well as Atias, a company "affiliate" proceeded to collect more than $3.3 million in diamonds on memo, which the suit alleges the three men never returned or paid for. In addition, A Taub Diamonds Corp. did not have enough money in its bank account to cover the diamonds it had taken on memo, according to the suit, and began bouncing checks written out to the lawsuit's plaintiffs.

The lawsuit states the defendants also lied to their plaintiffs regarding the whereabouts of the diamonds on memo, with Alfred Avi Taub claiming that some had been converted into sales. In mid-June, he also told several of the plaintiffs that he'd been robbed and lost $1 million in diamonds, but that he had insurance to cover the loss, court papers said.

According to court papers, Alfred Avi Taub left the United States for Israel on the same day the suit against he and the others was filed, but returned on July 18 and has since been staying at the home shared by his parents and brother in Long Beach, N.Y. In a June 27, 2007 search of the premises, eight diamonds were confiscated by the New York Police Department, court papers stated.

In a deposition filed to the court on July 19, Taub invoked his rights under the Fifth Amendment of the United States. But according to court papers, he appeared on July 17 in the Magistrate Court in Kfar Saba, Israel, in which he said he was robbed of a little more than a million in diamonds, that $1.4 million was taken from him by a client who tendered the amount in several checks, the first of which wasn't honored. He told the court that about $500,000 dollars is left, and that he's still owed about $300,000, according to court papers.

While the Manhattan district attorney's office confirmed to The New York Times that it had been pursuing a criminal investigation into Taub's business, and that his homes in Long Beach, N.Y., and Brooklyn, N.Y., were searched, no arrests have been made in the case.Neither the district attorney's office nor the defendants immediately returned phone messages.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo seen “Choosing wedding rings”


It seems that the infamous sex picture scandal involving singer Nick Lachey and girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo brought the couple closer together. A close friend claims that the pair is shopping for wedding rings, and Vanessa knows exactly what she wants.
“Vanessa has always wanted a cushion-cut diamond. But at the Kentucky Derby in May, Vanessa changed her mind after she saw and emerald-cut engagement ring on another Derby-goers finger,” says a friend.
26-year-old Vanessa told Lachey that she wanted an emerald-cut diamond in the center and two smaller ones on the side. The couple have been dating a least a year and have bought a million-dollar condo in New York City.

Good Things Come in Three, All About Three Stone Jewelry

He brings her to an empty movie theater and the lights darken. Suddenly, there she is on the screen—black-and-white images of their courtship. And there he is, by her side in the dark, presenting a three-stone diamond ring.



The ad ran late one afternoon in July 2000 in a darkened room in Charterhouse Street. It was the day De Beers unveiled the three-stone ring known as the “Diamond Dream.”


The impact was far-reaching, extending to other categories (three-stone jewelry, sometimes referred to as PPF—past, present, future—now accounts for some 10 percent of all women’s diamond jewelry worldwide, according to the DPS) and to every continent.


Clearly a bridal product (it was initially an anniversary band but soon became an engagement ring alternative), and very much a “diamond as the hero” piece, it nonetheless had modesty written large. Like the woman in the ad, and the women in the “Steps” and “Hands” ads that followed, this new three-stone ring was as serious as it was lovely. Its beauty lay in trim and thoughtful lines—Audrey Hepburn rather than Liz Taylor—and in each ad, its presentation induced a quiet but profound reaction from a woman who played her cards close to the chest.
Madonna, Sharon Stone, Toni Braxton, Jennie Garth, and others received them in mid-proposal. Their celebrity helped expand the category—from anniversary band to engagement ring, but also from emotion driven to aspirational, modestly private to glaringly public.


In the process, a new three-stone guideline was born. With centers two or three times larger than the sides’ total weight, the ring was an engagement ring, and centers were often raised in such settings. Those differences lost the abbreviated diamond wall for a look that was almost a solitaire, with the sides as supporting cast, but it still worked.


We at Diamondsonfifth offer the most beautiful three stone rings, earrings pendants, prices ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars, that way we fit everybody’s budget.

Jewelry Most Popular Customized Gift for Wealthy

Jewelry eternity bands proved to be the most popular customized luxury gift in a survey of the spending habits for wealthy consumers in the United States. The 2007 Wealth Report, conducted by research company, the Luxury Institute, showed that 37 percent of wealthy consumers buy made-to-order jewelry as a gift, while 44 percent make similar purchases for their own personal use. Combined, jewelry was the second most popular made-to-order category - 56 percent of wealthy consumers said they buy customized jewelry – behind home furnishings (57 percent.) Homes, men's dress shirts and suits completed the top five.

The survey, which was released July 15, 2007, questioned residents with household incomes of more than $150,000 about their spending habits on customized luxury goods in the categories of made-to-order, one-of-a-kind and made-to-measure. It showed that twice as many women buy made-to-order jewelry for personal use, while men more frequently buy it as a gift rather than for their own use.

The Luxury Institute said the wealthy listed more than 100 brands of made-to-order products they buy, of which Tiffany & Co. was the most popular with 6 percent of the wealthy saying that they made a made-to-order purchase from the New York-based jeweler. While automobiles were the most popular "one-of-a-kind" items, 26 percent said they have bought unique luxury items such as jewelry

South River man proposes at Milltown parade


Amy Kozak's 6-year-old brother — clearly eager for a brother-in-law — had tried using dandelions to propose marriage on behalf of Kozak's boyfriend. Wednesday, on her favorite holiday and with her great-uncle serving as grand marshal of the borough's parade, Jack Ryan Kozak played his part in the real deal.

Under inflatable palm trees on the back of the Good Day Preschool and Kindergarten float, Jack held up a fluorescent-orange sign that read, "Ryan wants to know if you will marry him."
Before Kozak, 22, could urge him to quit his silliness, her boyfriend Ryan Pfaff, 25, popped from the passenger's side of the float-carrying truck in a charcoal pinstripe suit.
"What?" Kozak said, looking around for some help interpreting events.

Before Kozak could process the moment, Pfaff fell to a knee and presented her with a diamond engagement ring.
Kozak held her left hand to her heart for several seconds before offering her finger. And a kiss. And a hug.
A crowd of family, friends and strangers applauded.
"I've been planning this for two weeks," said Pfaff, a South River resident who plans to return to school and become a grade-school teacher. "It worked out perfectly."
Minutes afterward, Kozak, a recent graduate of Rowan University with a sociology degree, continued with sporadic success to fully take in what had happened.
"Surprised," she said of her emotions. "Shocked. Happy."
Pfaff said Kozak, a Milltown resident, loves Independence Day because her whole family gets together. And this year's parade was special because her great-uncle, Carl Hermann, rode as grand marshal.
The couple, who have been dating for three years, posed for pictures. Kozak showed off her ring with an unsteady hand.
"You're lucky I didn't pass out," she said to her fiance.

Another Satisfied Customer From Diamonds On Fifth

This was an experience we will remember FOR EVER!!!

Back in June 07' I made an appointment with Moshe from "Diamonds on Fifth" (DOF) to select a diamond for my Fiancée. We selected a beautiful .78 ct. Princess cut diamond after a long educational process, which allowed us to pick the perfect stone within our budget. Then we went to a Jeweler to select the setting, right after we went to another place to have the diamond set on the ring and polished to perfection. We left "DOF" with a beautiful engagement ring my lady got to see come to life right in front of her eyes... This was amazing, we designed the whole thing and Moshe even took pictures of the process and e-mailed them to us...

Then a month after I called Moshe back. I wanted to exchange the diamond for a BIGGER one; this was NO PROBLEM for him... After a few e-mails to decide on my new choice and pictures back and forth to pull the trigger on the deal, it was done. I mailed my Fiancée’s ring back to Moshe and within a day of him receiving it I got it back with a precious 1.14 ct Princess cut diamond.

The most difficult part was to convince my girl to give me back the ring for a couple of days so "I could have it appraised". We went together to the UPS pick up location to get the ring back from "DOF" and just imagine her expression when she saw the bigger rock!

NOBODY BEATS the honesty of "DOF"! There are no hidden agendas when you deal with them. The transparency of the transaction makes you feel very comfortable and you are not pushed to make decision unless you are 100% happy with the choice you are about to make... I FULLY RECOMMEND DIAMOND ON FIFTH!

Moshe - You are the best! Thank you for giving us an experience we will remember for the rest of our life!!! See you back in 5 years for a 2.0 ct upgrade!

What is the difference between a Diamond Grading Report and an Appraisal?

A Diamond Grading Report is a document issued by a Gemological Laboratory describing a Loose Diamond. The laboratory will not issue reports on Diamonds which are set in a mounting. A Diamond Grading Report (certificate) issues a "grade" indicating the physical properties of the Diamond "at the time of evaluation".

A certificate is a document which retains its value over a long period of time, assuming the Diamond does not chip or is not otherwise altered.An appraisal can be performed on a loose Diamond, a mounted stone, or jewelry. If the stone is not loose, the physical properties are estimated using various estimation techniques. Most importantly, an appraisal indicates the Dollar Value of the piece under consideration.

Obviously, the Dollar Value can easily change considerably over a relatively short period of time. Appraisals are most often used for insurance purposes. Many people make the mistake of using an in-house appraiser to evaluate the purchase price of their Diamond. This is a big mistake. Firstly, appraisals are often over-estimated, and are therefore a very poor estimation of price. More importantly, any in-house Jeweler may be biased towards their own merchandise.

To further complicate matters, many people have become more educated when it comes to buying Diamonds, and have learned that its important to have a GIA certificate. What they have not learned, unfortunately, is how to differentiate between a GIA GTL (Gem Trade Lab) Grader, and a GIA G.G. or Graduate Gemologist. Many assume that getting an appraisal by a GIA gemologist is the same as getting a GIA Grading Report.

Some unscrupulous Jewelers attempt to further that illusion.The GTL (Gem Trade Lab) Grader is a GIA employee who performs the Diamond Grading for the Institute. A GIA Graduate Gemologist, on the other hand, has simply passed the GIA Diamonds, Diamond Grading and Colored Stone, Gem Identification and Colored Stone Grading courses.

The GTL grader has all of the above and more. S/he is far better trained in grading and usually has far more experience than a G.G. Further, the GTL grader does not have the same vested interest in the outcome of the grade of the stone they are evaluating.

Ever heard of an SI3 Diamond Color Grade, And Don't Know What It is.

The GIA Diamond clarity scale refers to how clean, or free of imperfections a Diamond is. The GIA standard for the clarity scale consists of: FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, ???, I1, I2, I3 So what is the SI3?

The SI3 was born out of the desire of the Diamond Industry to incorporate an extra grade to identify Diamonds in the lower range of the clarity scale. Many complained that there is too wide a gap between the SI2 and the I1 grade.

Why not offer an SI3 grade to bridge the gap? After that EGL - Los Angeles (European Gemological Laboratory) started to issue the SI3 grade, Some say the SI3 is a good idea, others say it is a bad idea. The problem with the SI3 today is that GIA, the largest and most widely accepted Gem Laboratory in the world, does not recognize SI3 grades.

If you see a diamond with a SI3 clarity written on the EGL certificate, remember it is basically a I1 on a GIA certificate.

Emarald cut diamond 3.12 E VS1

We are finally back safely in London.
Thanks for the photos we received, they are great and will be treasured.
Also, thanks very much to you and all your colleagues for your wonderful hospitality. You really made this experience a special and memorable one for us. We are ecstaticly happy with the ring which is absolutely stunning (I am just as obsessed with it as Tamara!)

Moshe, you really could not have done more for us! Thanks so much for all your time and consideration, you really looked after us brilliantly, and thought about everything for us.

The tour of your diamond-making business is something that Tiffany can never compete with, it was fascinating - and by the way, Tiffany don't have the choice of diamonds that you have either! (I know becuase I went in looking for a similar stone to see how much money I had saved by shopping with you - the answer is that they charge about 65% more than you and have a much smaller selection!) It was also great to meet and get photos with the jeweller who actually made our ring.






We will send you the photos we took (which are great). We will certainly mention you to all of our friends - it would be impossible not to, because you are such a central and happy part of our engagement story!
We will definitely stay in touch.

Best Wishes
Michael and Tamara
