A lady with a love for literature and shiny things discusses books & bling.
This is the Aurora pendant by Erica Courtney, a lovely piece in rose gold with tanzanite, diamonds, and pink sapphires. Hello, you pretty, pretty thing. Ornate but still simple, in gorgeous colors. I wouldn’t turn this one down.

These extraordinarily fabulous and exuberant earrings are a Michael Youssoufian creation. 52 pear-shaped and round multi-colored sapphires and garnets (23.24 carats) and diamonds (9.67 carats) in white gold. I haven’t seen much of Youssoufian’s work but these are a pressing reason to go looking for more.
These are spectacular. And not subtle…wallflowers need not apply.
These earrings are going to be part of Sotheby’s Important Jewels Sale in New York on 20 September 2012 – click here for the listing. All information and photos of this piece are thanks to Sotheby’s.
Sotheby’s description:
Designed as articulated cascading vines, set with 52 pear-shaped and round multi-colored sapphires and garnets weighing a total of 23.24 carats, accented by numerous round diamonds weighing 9.67 carats, signed, with maker’s mark, numbered D2806 and D2807. With signed box.
This sapphire and diamond bracelet is what the yellow brick road in Oz would look like if it was made of colored sapphires and diamonds. It’s so fun and happy – it’s just dying to climb on your wrist and go have some fun. (Personally, I’d be more than happy to let it.) With 180 carats of colored sapphires and 2 carats of diamonds, all mounted in white gold, it’s really something special.
This beautiful sapphire and diamond bracelet was sold to some lucky buyer for $13,125 (including premium) at the Bonhams 17 August 2012 Jewelry auction in Carmel, California.
