Taking inspiration from the fragile delicacy of the floral to the strongly geometric, Hanut’s work bridges the modern and the ancient, the Indic and the European. He inventively interweaves the pietra dura techniques of medieval Mughal and Rajput ateliers with the later art deco and art nouveau, creating jewels which are evocative and subtly beautiful.
Stone within stones, pearl with shell, crystal with gold, they create worlds within worlds, bringing the fragrance of flowers and the radiance of star light.
His jewellery is born of Puja, that everyday recognition of the mystery of the divine; Maya, the illusory grandeur of royal spectacle and pageantry; and Lila, the play of life that celebrates the energies of all living beings.
A body, thus adorned, gladdens the heart in infinite joy.

When Leon Tufenkjian found himself making fine jewellery in his attic in 1909, little did he know history was about to be made.
A young, hardworking man whose uncompromising nature and profound craftsmanship to create jewels is driven by a deep reverence, Leon Tufenkjian opened his first shop in the historical Beirut Gold Souk.
From its very first collections, his humble creations marked the beginning of a marvelous journey that welcomed his three sons.
Each piece of Borgioni jewelry is given the heart and soul of what the company was founded on,the love for individuality, clean, classic and modern design, under the supervision of master jewelers who share a commitment to quality, craftsmanship and superior innovation.
With his interesting and seductive collections Alexandre Corrot makes all his campaigns become an authentic work of art.
Unlike traditional jewelry, the spirit of Djula remains the same as when the «Glam Rock» trend was launched 20 years ago.
The Kallati Jewelry brand was founded in 1988, New York by Mr. Kallati who began sourcing, designing and selling fine jewelry to select retailers and private customers across the country with his family.
Like each generation before them, the Kallati siblings were immersed in the jewelry business, with their father’s mentorship to carry on the legacy.
Lepa established Misahara in 2013 after years of redesigning jewelry that her husband had gifted to her.
Although she loved the heartfelt intention behind these gifts, she was always a bit dismayed that the pieces didn’t feel personal.
After discovering her talent for re-imagining jewelry, her husband eventually encouraged her to start her own jewelry line; creating pieces that perfectly represented her style and personality… and so Misahara was born!
Founded in 2008 by fourth-generation Belgian diamond dealer Audrey Savransky, AS29 broke new ground with her rock ‘n’ flirty designs.
By 2009, AS29 was available in countless jewellery stores around the globe and counted Project Runway judge Nina Garcia and stylist Rachel Zoe as early fans.
Offering modern women the perfect cure to diamond envy with her unique provocative take on fine jewellery, AS29 designs are both bold and feminine.
Lauren Conrad couldn’t help but tell the world today that there’s a new member of the Conrad/ Tell clan, but it’s not yet Lauren’s second child that’s due this fall, it’s an addition that current dog’s Chloe and Fitz, can appreciate, Lauren adopted a new little puppy that certainly adds to Lauren’s already growing family whether it’s human and/ or animal.
For this wonderful new addition, Lauren sought out only those that can be trusted to help with adopting a puppy, and certainly not through a puppy mill, Lauren went through Wags and Walks Rescue, a 501c3 dog rescue in Los Angeles, California that saves family friendly dogs from high kills shelters, placing them in loving homes.
Wags & Walks was founded in 2011 by Lesley Brog, the daughter of a veterinarian, who was devastated by the number of sweet and healthy dogs being euthanized due to overcrowding in LA shelters.
Wags & Walks’ main goal when founded was to break the stigma that rescue dogs are damaged goods and to help decrease the number of dogs euthanized in local shelters by showing the community that you can find wonderful dogs of all breeds and sizes through rescue.
That value has remained consistent as the rescue has continued to grow.
Wags & Walks’ success can be credited to a team of dog-loving, loyal and intelligent people that share a can-do attitude as well as a strong network of partners, incredible alumni (as we call our previous adopters) and our value of choosing our dogs on temperament rather than breed. Every Wags & Walks dog has been through a temperament evaluation to ensure we know the best fit for our dogs.
Not only is this a way to ensure successful adoptions, but it also helps spread the word that shelter dogs are the best dogs!
Since 2000 Marco has incorporated the traditions and virtues passed down from his father to create jewelry that embodies the luxury of Italian craftsmanship and contemporary design.
Every piece of Marco Bicego jewelry is hand-crafted in our headquarters in Italy.
Located in the Veneto region of Northern Italy, Trissino is near historical cities such as Venice, Vicenza and Verona.
Every step of the production is done in-house, ensuring the highest quality of jewelry.
We begin with the smelting our own 18K gold.
From there the beauty of the piece begins to take shape by incorporating our signature hand engraving and coil technique.
Imagine, walking into a room, your room for that matter, finding out there’s something missing in your life, it’s not a passion or passions you need to fulfill, nor true love, or is it a wrong you need to make right, it’s right in front of your face honestly, and it’s buried in a drawer of miscellaneous items mixed up with other items, or buried in a mountain full of clothes thrown on the floor or scattered across what use to be your bed, it’s organization, but there are items to make you the best neat freak in the world, Lauren Conrad found 5 items Wednesday to solve your organizational dilemma.
Thanks to “Asking For A Friend” and The Home Edit, Lauren’s first simple step to life-changing organization is investing in a lazy susan, not a cabinet in your kitchen, but a lazy Susan container that goes round and round dividing your toiletries according to cleansers, tooth hygiene, body washes, etc.
Also out of rescue organization from The Container Store are bin organizers designed to hold an allotted amount of items no matter how big or how small they are, and who knew that one can store all their shoes, and even their clothes in shoe boxes, and they can be stored in the closet no less, right along with those clothes that must be hung up always.
A very important step to creating perfect organization is labeling all your containers so you know where things are, and investing in wall racks to store extra items is always a big plus.

Unlike traditional jewelry, the spirit of Djula remains the same as when the «Glam Rock» trend was launched 20 years ago.
Djula is known for sourcing all of its diamonds and gemstones from non conflict areas.
Our ethical policy and core values reflect on how we make sure that no children are used as workforce and how all of our gemstones are sourced.
Gold : Djula exclusively uses 18 carat gold for its jewelry Diamonds purity : The diamonds used on micro-paving are G VS1 SI quality (Slightly Included), The pear shaped diamonds, marquise or baguette diamonds are VS2 quality (Very Slightly Included). The diamonds setting is always a claw hand-made setting.
Having a visionary mentality and always thinking ahead of his time it’s how Alexandre Corrot, Djula’s designer and artistic director, revolutionized the jewelry industry with his creativity and his style. He broke the traditional jewelry idea by launching a glam-rock trend known as the « barbed wire » collection.
It’s not a coincidence that Alexandre Corrot is so found of the “Art Nouveau” as it was a great part of art in the 20’s. He has an adventurous and delicate style and this is how his obsession for sleek and graphic lines were shown in all of his collections.
He played a big part in converting the jewelry sector from its typical look allowing it to become more urban.
There’s a limit to the amount of chaos that one can handle in their lives, there’s chaos at work, our personal lives, in our family, and even friends at times who don’t know when to draw the limit with someone’s boundaries, but there’s always our home, and something as little as our room if that’s all we got where there’s total control of the space, you can build, organize, and canvas your four walls however you want, and it’s not all that hard if you listen to Lauren Conrad’s guest today who are Joanna Teplin and Clea Shearer on “Asking For A Friend”.
Coming from their baby that’s The Home Edit, home organization is big, it creates clarity in one’s mind, and opens all possibilities of designing one’s room to be chic and elegant, but the first step to a major home organization project is start out small, because if you alone try to organize your home all at once, then it’s gonna end miserably by giving up at midpoint, it’s highly recommended you take on one task at a time, like organizing a piece of space first because it’s easier on the mind, and motivates you to take on something bigger without biting off more than you can chew.
Just like organizing silverware, one can organize their items, clothes, shoes, and such into one place, staying together without getting mixed up with unrelated items, use dividers in places where necessary without taking up valuable space, items finding their own space, storing important documents where it needs to be, siphoning out what’s really worth keeping, and how to properly part with items.
But the most important thing to remember when you are organizing your home space is that your home cannot be more than 80 percent full.
Who doesn’t want a gathering of friends or family to be memorable?
All of us do.
We want the food to be memorable, the time to be relaxed, the conversation convivial, and the décor to stand out.
One way to do the latter is to invest in something truly unique and personalized that offers a distinctive color or message.
But investing in pre-made items can get to be pricey pretty quickly.
Plus, how many times do you want to read the same messaging, such as “Congrats!”, on a napkin?
Instead, there’s a way to put your printer to use and rely on some good, old-fashioned templates to create colorful patterned napkins for every event or even just special meals.
Doing so means that you can simply invest in some paper napkins and follow some essential steps.
Your printer gets to do the finish work for you, adding formal or casual typography and interesting shapes to however many napkins you want.
How do you do all of this?
This graphic explains it.
From birthdays and baby showers to office potlucks, big promotions, and retirements custom napkin designs are all the rage. They add a unique, personal feel and a touch of whimsy—whether they’re specific to a holiday or if you use them to personalize office parties with your company logo.
While it’s simple enough to pay for custom napkins, there are several reasons you may want to consider creating DIY versions instead. For starters, it allows you to brainstorm your own one-of-a-kind design and ensure that it prints to your liking. Additionally, going the DIY route is often less expensive than purchasing custom-designed napkins.
Whether you want to create custom napkins for your next party or design a set of napkins as a gift, here’s the DIY way to make it happen.
How to make custom napkins
Ready to craft your own designed napkins? Get started with thefollowing steps.
First, create your design
In order to transfer a design onto napkins, you’llneed a digital versionof your preferred design. You can create this on your own or source one online (just make sure you check the rules for licensing). If you want to create your design with pen and paper, you’ll need to scan it and save a digital version. If you create the design on your computer or source it online, simply save the file on your computer.
Next, gather your materials
You’ll need the following supplies to print your napkins at home:
Paper napkins (choose heavy-duty, multi-ply napkins, which will hold ink better)
Freezer paper
Your digital design
An iron
An inkjet printer, preferably withhigh-quality ink(Do not to use a laser jet printer, since they can get very hot and may create a fire hazard if using paper napkins. We recommend HP Original Ink because it is smear- and water-resistant and provides high-quality )
Cut the freezer paper
Grab your freezer paper and cut it to a size that:
Is large enough to cover one unfolded napkin
Is small enough to travel through your printer
Because printers and napkins come in different sizes, there is no “one size fits all” measurement here. Instead, measure your printer tray and an unfolded napkin to determine the proper size for your freezer paper.
Note: Somesources recommendprinting the design onto transfer paper, then ironing the transfer paper onto the napkins. If you feel unenthused about the freezer paper technique, it may be worth giving this alternate strategy a try. In this case, you’ll skip over the next several steps.
Iron a napkin onto a cut piece of freezer paper
Start by placing a napkin on top of a cut piece of freezer paper. The napkin should rest on the shinier side of the freezer paper. The side of the napkin that will feature the design should face up.
Next, preheat the iron to a medium setting. Then gently iron the napkin onto the freezer paper. (It’s a good idea to test a small patch before ironing over the entire napkin. Make sure the napkin sticks to the freezer paper and that nothing melts before completing the ironing.) It’s important that the napkin be fully adhered to the freezer paper so it doesn’t catch inside the printer during the next step.
Print your design
Once you successfully iron a napkin onto a piece of freezer paper, place the resulting combo into your printer. Line it up just like regular printer paper, making sure the napkin is properly oriented. (You may want to run a few test sheets of printer paper through the printer to determine how to orient the napkin according to your printer.) Once you line up the napkin, print the design using the file you saved on your computer in the first step.
Remove the napkin from the freezer paper
Once the design has printed onto the napkin, allow the napkin and freezer paper to cool down a bit. Then, gently peel the napkin off the freezer paper, being careful not to tear the napkin. Once you remove the freezer paper, your napkin is ready to use. Printing your own custom napkins may require some time and effort. But in the end, you’ll find yourself with a stack of highly personalized napkins that will satisfy your creative urges and delight the guests at your next party.
