ZEVAR PEACOCK EARRINGS REVIEW 4.69/5 (4)

💖 EXPERIENCING JEWELLERY 💖 Previewing jewell

💖 EXPERIENCING JEWELLERY 💖 Previewing jewellery in person and sharing with you all the amazing things I get to experience, is the essence of what @GEMOLOGUE is all about. My recent @Bulgari visit has been one to never forget - have a look at my previous posts to see what I got up to!

There’s nothing as special as visiting my favourite spaces in London and the Bond Street Bulgari boutique is quite the heaven of experiential jewellery spaces. Its first floor VIP room - designed in honor of Elizabeth Taylor - encapsulates some of the most stunning pieces of fine and high jewellery. The pleasing aesthetic of this space designed by architect Peter Marino, together with its high ceilings and the main staircase made out of rose marble and surrounded by bronze mesh - create the most serene and magical energy. Part of the LVMH Group, the Bulgari we know was founded in Rome in 1884 as a jewellery shop. Known as the magnificent Roman jeweller and master or coloured gems, Bulgari has established a worldwide reputation for Italian excellence and renown for its exquisite craftsmanship. If you have not stepped in the world of Bulgari I recommend to not to miss visiting it - after all jewellery is all about experience ✨

💎 HAWAII DIAMONDS HEARTS ⁠💎 Did anyone say

🌟THE ART OF LAYERING WITH @TABAYER🌟 I think

🌟THE ART OF LAYERING WITH @TABAYER🌟 I think it is clear I adore this collection - how could I not? Yes it is a sculptural pendant with a beautiful chain design, but I promise you will fall in love with its clasp! It’s the first time I haven’t struggled or had to ask my husband to help me with the clasp! Brilliantly executed! Bravo TABAYER! Do you like layering your necklaces?

I love to try out different looks by layering my necklaces, I usually start by placing them on a table or flat surface. Then I can play around with the order (without struggling with the clasps!) until I create the look I like the most. I love to style the Oera pendant in white gold with its mini version in yellow gold. It always feels so fresh to be able to mix and match colours of gold and this is available in 18k Fairmined white and yellow gold, paved with diamonds. The Oera collection features 15 designs in a number of variations, set purely in a pleasing palette of yellow or white gold, diamonds and diamond pavé. Perfect for any style and fashion and most definitely the pieces you need if you, like me - can never get enough of layering! #tabayer #tabayerjewelry⁠

👑 PRECIOUS TRANSFORMERS 👑 Is it even worth the fuss if it can’t be worn in different ways?

The Bulgari Queen Jubilee Emerald Garden Tiara is without exception a masterful piece of craftsmanship. It sparkles with hundreds of emeralds and diamonds, each lovingly hand-set by highly skilled craftsmen. As a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, the Bulgari emerald tiara is set in platinum. The whole piece took a master goldsmith and a team of five talented craftsmen 1,500 hours to complete.

But the marvel of the piece doesn’t stop there. In the true style of traditional tiaras, particularly of the 19th century, the Bulgari Queen Jubilee Emerald Garden Tiara transforms into a beautiful emerald and diamond necklace. The necklace is released from the platinum mount through a series of hidden and innovative hinges and joints. It is a spectacular achievement, showcasing Bulgari high jewelry’s attention to detail, extraordinary creativity and meticulous craftsmanship. Call it a dream - I call it Bulgari 🤩

🌸 BLOSSOMING THOUGHTS 🌸 When you think about

🌸 BLOSSOMING THOUGHTS 🌸 When you think about people who are incredibly successful and intelligent do you ever think how did they get there?

I often wonder if these traits are the result of hard work and perseverance or one is simply lucky to have a certain skill and intelligence ingrained in their genes. I have come to the conclusion that a growth mindset, where one believes in the opportunity of bettering their intelligence and talents over time is a “thing”. Since reading more into this incredibly interesting topic I have become more invested in trying to develop my skills through learning and hard work - a bit like watering a plant. Constant feeding and watering our minds can only help us blossom into a better version of ourselves - and if you ask me, that’s the only way to fulfilment and happiness ✌️

What do you think - can intelligence be earned or is it a genetic trait? If you liked this post, share it with friends in your stories 🌟 #jewelleryface #gemologue

💚 DAZZLING GEM 💚 Most times, words can’t do justice to the perfection and beauty of jewellery pieces like these. But If you had to try - how would you describe this precious creation with one word?

‘Undeliverable’ would be my pick. Her Majesty, the emerald, takes centre stage in the Bulgari Queen Elizabeth Jubilee Emerald Garden Tiara and is part of the Bulgari Eden, The Garden of Wonders High Jewellery collection. This stunning emerald was chosen especially for the Platinum Jubilee Tiara by Lucia Silvestri, who found it while hunting for gems in Jaipur, India. It is a Zambian emerald with provenance, which makes it a sound investment. What’s unique about the Zambian emerald is the jewel’s delicate carving of a lotus flower, a traditional Jaipur craft from the 16th century, representing the floral motifs of Persian art. It takes incredible skill and precision to carve such beauty into a precious stone like the Jubilee Emerald. It truly is a one-of-a-kind show-stopper at 63.44 carats!

For all of you who still can’t get enough of this jewel by looking at a photo, this very special piece is available to preview at London’s Bulgari Bond Street boutique - if you’re passing by remember to have a peak at the window display 😉

🪢 @TABAYER KNOT FOR PROTECTION 🪢 Believe in

🪢 @TABAYER KNOT FOR PROTECTION 🪢 Believe in it or not - some jewels have a more profound story to them that goes deeper than the charm of their design. Do you believe in the power of amulets?

2022 is a big year for TABAYER - discover the Oera at Couture Las Vegas (Cristal Ballroom, Salon 722), and all pieces are inspired by the ancient Sumerian goddess of love, sensuality, fertility and justice. #tabayer #tabayerjewelry⁠

This outstanding collective of jewels centres around a single motif—Inanna’s knot—a sacred and feminine symbol of protection. Infused with sculptural elements taken from the Modernist sculptures of American artists Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Archipenko, the Oera collection brings ancient and modern together in a contemporary, asymmetrical style that speaks to every woman.

This stunning Oera bracelet comes with a flawless clasp (my favourite part) and not only this is a timeless design perfect for stacking with a delicate touch of diamonds, It is also a stylish addition to the modern take on layering. Bracelet stacking is only tasteful and sensual when they are sculptural and tell a story - thoughtfully curated wrist stacking is the ultimate goal.

🤰HAPPY NEWS🤰 I can’t believe the time has

🤰HAPPY NEWS🤰 I can’t believe the time has finally come for me to be sharing our happy news!

The long 5 year journey has brought me to this joyful moment in life. I was very hesitant about sharing this very special moment, and having a very private partner does not help! But here we are - I couldn’t keep the most precious of jewels from my gem squad any longer 👼 It’s funny how we have inner fears and believes that try to stop us from enjoying happy moments to the fullest. When moments like these come to light many things play into my mind - the element of the evil eye being one of them. This year’s challenge is to try and keep the perfect balance between my inner-self and the outer world and not let my inner fears affect my peace and happiness. Today we cheers to life and to brave announcements!

💎 CRAFTSWOMAN 💎 Florists and craftswomen hav

💎 CRAFTSWOMAN 💎 Florists and craftswomen have more in common than we think! They work with beautiful flowers every day, but it's tough and the hands are rough. Although there are many female jewellery designers as there are florists - why do you think we don't see many female craftsmen?

When speaking with Sabine Roemer in regards to this topic so many interesting points came up. In a nutshell a lot of it it’s due to the fact that being a craftswoman comes with a lot of hard work. It takes countless hours to become highly skilled to the point where one is capable of transforming a sketch into a high-quality jewel. @sabineroemer and I both agree that we don’t see many craftswomen due to the time that it consumes and to the fact that being one comes with getting “dirty”. It's indeed very dirty being in the workshop and not the sparkly process we all think of as little girls when dreaming of where our jewellery comes from. Sabine in fact, joked about how most days she looks like a chimney from head to toe - especially when it comes to polishing. Is it maybe because working in a workshop is not luxury enough? Or because going into the design studios and working on sketches is way more fun and less labour-intensive? Regardless the intensity of this job, the upsides of bringing jewellery to life someone will love and cherish for life is priceless. So - don’t be discouraged! We all can train as craftswomen and we should never let the fact that this role is heavily dominated by men intimidate us! 😉
