"I am still disappointed in you for going to the ball with a blood traitor. Out of all the pureblood boys, you picked a redhead." her mother said, and Y/n replied, "Mother, he was the only gentleman that I came across. Every pureblood boy from Slytherin didn't even care to ask me. They just demanded that I go with them, and I said no." And with that, her mother nodded and decided to go quiet. Y/n was jumping out of happiness in her mind because she shouldn't show that much happiness in front of her mother. They were shopping for a ball gown, but Y/n didn't like any of them. They were pretty but just not what Y/n wanted. After spending the whole day in shops, her mother decided to go home. "Since neither of the dresses you tried on are perfect, I will get you a custom gown.", she said before calling a house elf to take Y/ns measurements. After the house elf greeted her, Y/n smiled and helped the elf take the measurements. She wondered what color her dress would be, probably in dark green or black.
.....few days later, in the Grand Hall.....
Owl were flying in constantly, delivering the girls their dresses, and the biys their suits and robes. Pansy got hers. It was a long black dress with a slit, the one she expected. She was squeling with happiness. While Y/n was still waiting for hers, everyone got theirs. Only Y/ns was missing. She started to worry, panicking that she wouldn't have a dress. That was until an owl flew in and dropped a huge box in front of Y/n. Everyone was now looking at her, especially Fred Weasley, curious about what her dress is gonna be. As she slowly untied the black bow and opened the box, Pansy and her gasped. In the box was a beautiful dark green ball gown, probably costing a lot of money. She slowly stood up from her seat, grabbed the shoulders of the dress, and lifted it up, hearing multiple gasps from the majority of girls, even the boys were gawking at the dress. All of the Gryffindors turned back from the Slytherin table to look at Fred, realizing that he probably got the most beautiful girl as his date to the Yule Ball. He snapped out of the trance when Y/n and Pansy picked up their boxes and left the Grand Hall. "Damn, I'm a lucky guy," he said, mesmerized by not only the dress but also the thought of how Y/n will look in it. "You mean the luckiest guy," Ginny corrected him. He nodded, closing his parted mouth and taking a sip of water. He smirked as he remembered the jealous looks that the girls gave Y/n, knowing that their dresses weren't as luxury and expensive as Y/ns. When he got to his dorm, he immediately went to the desk to write a letter. The letter was for his mum, Molly Weasley, telling her how he saw the most extraordinary dress he's ever seen and that it's his dates dress. His mum was surprised that he asked a Slytherin out, but after hearing him rant about how she looks, talks, and is kind, changed her mind. Molly already loved the girl even tho she hasn't met her yet.
"Alright, so my dress is beautiful, but yours? Girl, your mother went over the moon with this one. You'll be the best-looking one." Pansy complimented her dress. Y/n just thanked her. She knew both of them would look ravishing in their dresses. "Yule Ball is in five days, oh my god I can't wait" both of the girls jumped, holding their hands and jumping on Y/ns bed before dropping on the bed, laughing at each other. "I can't wait." Y/n sighed, daydreaming about how she's gonna look. Pansy nodded before standing up to go hang her dress on a hanger. Y/n copied her. She looked into the box, finding a matching dark green high heels and a tiny box that probably had matching jewelery in it. She took that out, too, sorting it on her nightstand.
The evening has come, the Yule Ball was tonight. Y/n and Pansy were now rushing to get ready. They got into their girl talk and gossiping so much that they didn't realize what the time was before it was too late. Pansy put her dress on easily while Y/n was struggling before asking Pansy to help her get in the dress. After much struggle, she got in, and Pansy zipped the back of the dress before handing Y/n her heels. Y/n thanked her and put them on before sitting down in front of her desk and looking at the mirror, checking if her hair wasn't messed up. She opened the jewelery box before putting on the necklace and earrings, which shined as the stars in the midnight sky. After getting done with that, she stood up and straightened her dress, looking for Pansy. "Pansy, are you ready?" she called out just as Pansy was walking out of the bathroom. Pansy hummed before grabbing Y/n hand and walking out. Y/n asked Fred if he could wait for her at the end of the stairs in front of the ballroom. He happily agreed, not asking why, but he was sure so that she could grab all the attention.
As they got there, both of the girls noticed Hermione, who looked like she was hesitant. As they got closer to her, she turned around. "Hi Pansy and Y/n, you both look beautiful," Hermione said before smiling. "Thank you, you look beautiful too," Pansy and Y/n replied, saying it in sync before all three of them shared a laugh. "Can I walk with you down the stairs?" Hermione hesitated, shyly looking down. Y/n nodded before all three of them turned and started walking down the stairs. As George heard the heels click, he motioned for his twin to turn around. "Look at Hermione," Parvati Patil said, mesmerized by her dress. "Look at Y/n," George said, not noticing his twin staring at her. George pushed him a bit, nodding towards Y/n as she was close to the end of the staircase. He slowly walked uo to her, smiling at her before putting out his hand, taking Y/ns hand in his bigger one, giving her delicate hand a kiss on the knuckles. She blushed before complimenting him, "You look handsome," to which Fred responded, "You look so mesmerising, I could watch you forever." She hit him with her hand, "Stop it, that's so romantic," she whispered. "But it's the true," Fred said before the ballroom dorrs were opened. The champions opened the dance while the others joined after them.
Fred took Y/ns hand, guiding her to the dance floor, to which she was happy. All the days she spent waiting for this exact moment finally came to life. She smiled at him, placing one hand on his shoulder while the other one was in his hand. He placed his hand on her waist before they started dancing, not breaking eye contact even once. At some point, they felt as if all the eyes of the world were on them, looking at how perfect they looked together. They danced the night away, constantly cracking jokes and laughing together, drinking and asking questions about each other. As the night got to the end, they sat down at a table, both of them exhausted from all the dancing and partying. Y/n put her head on his shoulders, closing her eyes and noticing the faint smell of his cologne. She noticed that he always smelled like fireworks, paper, and gunpowder, which made sense. Fred put his hand around her shoulders, keeping her warm in the cold night, thinking about how she smelled luxurious, probably thanks to her expensive perfumes that all smelled fantastically. She smelled like books and a garden full of flowers.
He felt as if he was the biggest garden in the world, and she was the most beautiful and rarest flower that only he had.

hermes mini kelly 15
Hermes Mini Kelly Shoulder Bag This technique is seen in nearly all of Hermès’ leather goods, and entails the use of two strands of their proprietary beeswaxed cotton thread fed through in a double saddle stitch. To add the finishing touches to the design, a clochette, two keys, and cadena lock are added for added safety. Despite this hierarchy, the Kelly bag has been around for so much of a decade previous to its youthful sibling, and the continuation of its reputation at present is a testament to its enduring, classic style. This offers the Kelly bag with a more elegant look and provides the choice of carrying it both in your hand or crossbody. But more attention-grabbing features of her ensembles are her handbags. The actress has a beautiful assortment of arm candies that every lady will simply need. Though small, the Mini II is made to face out in a spread of vibrant hues, together with electrical blue, wealthy saffron, perky peach, and a recent crimson. Just like the larger versions, getting your arms on one of many iconic bags won’t come cheap. Despite the eye-bulging price level, the bag has major cool-girl potential. Plus it's on pattern with the newest string of mini luggage we’ve seen gracing the hips of street-style stars such as Chiara Ferragni. It has been designed and processed to mimic the snowy mountain caps and darkish, earthy mountain sides of the world-renowned mountain range. For Fall/Winter 2011, Hermès introduced the Ghillies line, inspired by broguing. The broguing method native to the traditional footwear of the same name, is used within the Kelly bag line for the trims, giving a dressy look to the bag. The first, of the two baggage on the scene, was the Kelly bag. In the early Eighties, Grace collaborated with Springmaid Company, the now-defunct mattress linen brand. The collaboration was titled GPK after the initials of her maiden name and options mattress linens, tablecloths, napkins, placemats, and others. Both collaborated after Neil Mandell, a newly employed Springmaid stylist, found the designs Grace made in a People journal article on the exhibition in a Paris Gallery. Princess Grace obtained more than $1 million in royalties, which she donated to her favourite charities. Kelly was acting at Colorado's Elitch Theatre, when producer Stanley Kramer supplied her a task co-starring opposite Cooper in Fred Zinnemann's High Noon , a Western filmed in Columbia, California. She accepted the position, and the movie was shot in the late summer and early fall of 1951 over a 28-day taking pictures schedule in scorching weather circumstances. See the most recent costs (Dec.2020) for the Hermes Kelly Sellier and Retourne baggage within the table beneath. When it involves hardware, majority of Kelly luggage include either palladium-plated or gold-plated steel hardware. Palladium-plated hardware has a silvery finish to it, whereas the gold-plated hardware contains a shiny and glamorous shine. Usually, for the Gold-Plated hardware, Hermes uses the 18k gold. The greatest way to think about shopping for a Hermès bag is to begin with the best dimension. The Hermès Birkin bagcomes in three sizes , and 6 sizes for the Kelly bag with afew further variations of the Kelly bagduring special Hermès releases, including a mini and petite pockets generally known as the Kelly Pochette and Kelly Cut. There are many selections to make when buying a Hermes Birkin or Kelly. Before that, the fashion home was known for the enduring Hermes Kelly bag which was initially designed in the Thirties however was renamed when a photo of Grace Kelly carrying the bag made waves round Hollywood. Since then, both the Kelly and Birkin have turn out to be the last word status symbol of wealth and elegance. Introducing the UK Hermes Bag Price List Reference Guide. This information presents Hermes handbags including jewelery and watches’ prices in Sterling Pound as of July 2020. Hermes UK recently increased its costs in January 2018. When this Holy Grail of purses is adorned with valuable hardware, collectors take explicit discover. wikipedia handbags Cheryl Ladd portrayed Kelly in the made-for-TV film Grace Kelly in 1983. Nicole Kidman portrayed Kelly in Grace of Monaco , directed by Olivier Dahan. Reaction to the movie was largely negative; many people, including the princely household of Monaco, felt it was overly dramatic, had historical errors, and lacked depth. In 1982, the Princess Grace Foundation-USA was established by her husband to continue the work she had accomplished anonymously during her lifetime, assisting rising theater, dance and movie artists in America. Incorporated in 1982, PGF-USA is headquartered in New York and is a tax-exempt, not-for-profit, publicly supported group. mini kelly ii The inside is lined with Etoupe lambskin leather and has one open pocket...

Hermes is certainly one of the most sought-after manufacturers in the resale market, with the Constance, Birkin and Kelly baggage being in limited inventory and solely available exclusively via bodily shops.

The Prince and Princess left that evening for their seven-week Mediterranean honeymoon cruise on his yacht, Deo Juvante II.

♥️──||
nymphadora tonks
♥️──||

• takes you to a remote location on her broomstick
• which is just a candlelit meal and a large, messily wrapped present

🍄Hi, may I have a ship please?
She/her. I'm 168 (5'6 I think, I'm French so I don't use inches!), blonde curly hair and green eyes. I'm your basic girly girl: I like pink and make up and jewelery. I'm a very energetic person, and I can never just do one thing, I'm always multitasking. I love exercising and running and moving in general, and when I'm not studying (uni sucks ��) I'm either working out or making stuff - at the moment I'm into making necklaces and embroidery. I really love reading, it's one of the few things that I can do for longer than ten minutes without getting distracted. I've been sorted in every house except for Hufflepuff, and I've recently learnt that my love language is words of affirmation.
Hope you're having a nice day!
of course! i hope you’ve had a good day too :)
i see you with Oliver Wood in my head to be honest...
I think given you’re quite active you’d be a good match but also a good balance, taking time to read and things - to remind him that life isn’t just quidditch. Reading to him on the couch after practice when he’s all tired and sore 🥺 (it’s very very cute in my head , might have to write this)
i’m picturing cute dates on the quidditch pitch (that usually end in one-to-one games that he takes far too seriously and can end in petty arguments unless remedied by lots of kisses).
I’m really stuck on the embroidery thing because his kit probably gets ripped up at times and he gets you to fix it and i’m a little in love with the idea of you sewing up his kit with little love hearts and things and the rest of the team (fred and george) tease him for it but he secretly loves it, like little good luck charms 🥺
apparently i have far far more thoughts on oliver wood than i ever realised...

More Than You Know... (Frederik Andersen)
Tumblr media
A/N This imagine is loosely based on the song More Than You Know by RØZE... if you haven’t heard it or anything by her, I would strongly recommend any of her music.  Link to “More Than You Know”: https://youtu.be/ARNXzwJrcPI 
I was sitting at a table with some of the Leafs, waiting for Fred to come back with another round. We were celebrating yet another Leafs win and I usually didn’t come out with the boys but I didn’t have work the next day and somehow, some of the boys had convinced me to come out. I was sitting between Mo and Mitch, talking about the next string of road games until Fred finally made his way back with some drinks. 
“Here you go babe.” He said, placing a drink for me down on the table before sitting down next to me. He joined in the conversation, throwing his arm around my shoulder. I leaned further into him, picking up my drink continuously as I tried to add into the conversation as much as I could. I started feeling more and more intoxicated as the night progressed, and I could tell Fred was watching me a little more as I finished another drink. 
“I’m just going to run to the washroom.” I whispered into Fred’s ear as I started getting up. 
“Just be careful.” He said, squeezing my hip as I walked away. I made my way to the washroom, weaving through the crowded dance floor full of absolutely beautiful women. Looking around, I started feeling a lot more self conscious. I quickly did my business and made my way back out. For some reason, I felt like I needed to get back to Freddie as soon as possible. Almost like if I didn’t get back to the table right now, I’d be loosing him. Almost in slow motion, my biggest fear was realized. A gorgeous woman was standing just behind Fred and had all of his attention. The way that he was looking at her was the same as he would look at me, at least to my drunk mind. I quickly walked over to the table to grab my purse and made my way towards the exit, ignoring all of the calls from the boys. I barely made it outside when I felt someone grab my wrist and I turned around to meet Freddie’s chest. “Did something happen in the bathroom?” He asked, looking at me with concern laced in his voice. 
“Nothing happened.” I spat, ripping my arm out of his grasp and walking towards the road, hoping a cab or something would drive by soon so I could get home. 
“Okay? Do you want me to get us an uber?” He asked, walking towards me.
“Why would you want to leave? That blonde in there seemed really interested, as did you.” I said, annoyance obvious in my voice. 
“Okay woah. Where is this coming from?” 
“Why should that matter? You obviously want to stay so go on back in.” I said before turning around, seeing some sort of headlights coming down the road. When I did, I saw a yellow cab coming down the street, slowing down as I held my arm up. When the cab finally pulled over, I walked over and slid into the back, not yet realizing that Freddie was right behind me until he pushed me over slightly so that he could get in as well. “What are you doing?” I asked after he had told the cab driver the address to our place.
“I’m going home with my girlfriend, because we need to talk.” He said, a serious tone. As we sat in silence, I felt like I was in trouble. Like my parents had just scolded me for something stupid, but to me, this wasn’t stupid. I felt like complete and utter trash compared to those girls in the club and that he deserved better. He deserved someone who wasn’t a complete fuck up. Someone who could go out with him on a Saturday night instead of being in bed by ten because of work the next day. As all these thoughts were swirling through my mind, Fred was just sitting there, trying to figure me out. Scared to even touch me just in case I break. When we finally got back to our place, I quickly got out of the cab, passing the man a random bill and not waiting for any change. When I got to the door, I fished through my bag, trying to find my key but was stopped by Fred placing his hand over mine and slowly unlocked the door, leading me in with his hand on the small of my back. We sat down on the living room couch, sitting face to face. 
“I’m sorry.” I started, already feeling tears well up in my eyes. I quickly looked down at the couch, not wanting to face him quite yet as I played with the ring on my finger. As I twirled the ring around my finger, I thought about the exact day he had given it to me.
No it wasn’t an engagement ring, but it might as well had been. It was our third year anniversary and like it had been the previous year, Fred was on a road trip and we couldn’t have dinner that night, but almost like clockwork, at exactly ten o’clock, there was a knock at the door. I was already in my pajamas, just having finished up a short call with the Dane not long before, as I made my way towards the door. Matt, one of our mutual friends, was standing just outside with a small bag in his hand and a large bouquet of flowers in the other. 
“For you... Obviously not from me, I’m just the delivery man. Also, happy anniversary.” He said, passing me the gift before making his way out. I slowly closed the door and walked over to the kitchen, placing the flowers in a vase before opening the bag slightly to reveal a small white card. I opened the card, seeing Fred’s writing littered over the small card. 
Y/N,
I’m am so sorry that I can’t be home for yet another anniversary but I thought that I could at least have something delivered to you. I know that you aren’t the most into jewelery and you hate me spending any money on you but I saw this the last time I was home and I immediately thought of you. I hope that every time you look down at this, you think of me and how much you mean to me. 
I love you so much and to many years to come,
Fred xoxo
Coming back to reality, I knew he deserved some sort of explanation. He knew I just needed a little time, especially with all the alcohol in my system. 
“I uh.” I started. “When I was going to the washroom, I just realized that I don’t deserve you and when I saw that girl talking to you... My mind started running wild thinking about how much happier you with be with someone like that. Someone who isn’t tired all the time, who can spend more time with you when you’re home.” I said, airing out all of my insecurities that had come to light tonight. When I looked back, I could see him start to stutter out a response.
“Baby, you sound crazy right now. It’s me who doesn’t deserve you. You are one of the hardest working people I know and if anything, it’s a turn on. I don’t want someone there at my beck and call. I need someone like you to put me in my place when I’m acting crazy too.” 
By the time he had ended, tears were streaming down my face. I could hear him chuckle slightly before feeling his thumb wipe some of the tears from my eyes. He stood up before sliding his arms under me, picking me up and carrying me to our bedroom. He lightly laid me down on the bed before walking over to our closet and coming back out with my favourite pair of pajama pants and one of his signature black t-shirts. As I was blubbering like an idiot, he helped me change into the clothes he had brought out before quickly stripping down to his boxers and pulling my into him, rubbing my back and playing with my hair to try and calm me down. My shaking started to die down as I realized how important this man is to me. 
You make me feel like home, more than you’ll ever know...

Will Wearing Rock Crystal Jewelry Make You Feel Better?
I hate to be the Gus Portokalos (yes, the patriarch of My Big Fat Greek Wedding) of the jewelry world, but the word “crystal” does come from the Greek word “crystalos,” meaning ice. And the ancient Greeks believed the stone known as rock crystal, or clear quartz, was water that had been frozen for eternity. There is something comforting about the strength that implies, isn’t there?
The Greeks were not the first to use the stone in jewelry—although there is an impressive set of rock crystal and gold bangles on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art that proves they did use it, and well—and they were also not the only ones to attribute great power and meaning to the materials.
“The Greeks believed rock crystal was straight from Mt. Olympus—eternal water.”
“The Greeks believed rock crystal was straight from Mt. Olympus—eternal water that had flowed down the mountain. But since ancient times and across ancient civilizations, rock crystal has been held to have protective and healing powers, to enlighten, to balance and to expand one’s energy,” explains Fred Leighton Creative Director Rebecca Selva.
“The Egyptians carved rock crystal into beads, rings, and amulets. In Ancient India, rock crystal was used for its healing powers to cleanse, shift, and balance energy.”
There are examples of the use of rock crystal in jewelry in archaeological findings as far back as the Sumerian and Mesopotamian civilizations. The allure of clear quartz has held strong throughout the centuries (see Victorian intaglios in particular) but the use of it in the Art Deco period (a creative flourishing of bold, streamlined design free of flourishes between the wars) is probably the most known and celebrated.
Jewelers like Cartier and Van Cleef and Boivin and Belperron made rock crystal part of Art Deco’s signature palette, alongside black onyx and platinum and diamonds. Gloria Swanson’s famous Cartier Deco cuffs are a strong example, as is that Belperron for Boivin rock crystal and hematite bracelet that was sold a few months ago at Christies. (If you follow me on Instagram you know the one. It was the object of my obsession for months including another Cartier rock crystal cuff that sold in the same sale).
The material’s grip on jewelers’ imaginations remains strong. “I am obsessed with rock quartz,” says Hanut Singh. “My home is dotted with them, as totems, as objets and it is such joy to use them in my jewelry designs as well. I feel truly elated working with them.”
Is the inclination towards this stone aesthetic or spiritual? “We all know how spiritually they have been used in healing for millennia,” says Singh. “The clear rock quartz, that helps us attune to our high selves, that aids intuition and focus and that soothes and heals, also in our Hindu culture has been used to make Idols. Our mightiest deities, of which we have many are made in crystal and dotted with gems. Our prayer beads, which we use to do ‘jap,’ or pray and meditate with, are also made in crystal. The immensity of its uses is varied and talismanic. But the joy of seeing them as bijoux is electric. The glamour of it all. The sheer clarity and drama of it all! The major houses in the 20’s onwards were using it as objet d’art and jewels. Cartier really excelled at it. Even until the late 1950’s Belperron was doing her magic with crystal. Fluting, frosting, swirling, stacking…all sorts of shapes and sizes and designs were wrought from this magical quartz.”

Singh—whose work makes his quartz obsession clear— is not alone. Monica Rich Kosann also uses the stone frequently and designed an entire cobblestone patterned bracelet around it.

And so, as Gus Portokalos would say: “There you go.”

Identification of Finds • Re: American Silver Coin Found on Scottish Beach?

Hi Fred Thanks for getting back to me. It certainly looks like a Silver Barber Dime. However, one odd thing I noted. On the reverse of the coin with the floral design, and engraved initials, it does not say 'One Dime.' Without the person's initials the centre of the coin would just be totally blank. Is it possible a skilled person could have erased the 'one dime' inscription' on the reverse of the coin to make one for someone's initials? Also when you turn the coin over from the face side, the floral design is upside down. This has left me wondering if this is a 'fake dime' made as jewellery?
The modification of coins to form items of jewelery and love tokens has been going on for ever, just think of all those pierced Roman coins and modified groats that you dig up! It really seems to have taken off from Victorian times onwards and some people seem to have become extremely skilled at it. I forgot to mention that another very common way that pierced coins were worn was on watch chains.

Jack Abramov, president and CEO of HOTJ, resigned from his posts in early April, and was replaced by Lyle Rose. In addition, the brother of former president Monti Abramov left his posts as secretary of the board and vice president. The expected financial results of HOTJ in 2007 (before the audit by the auditors) are disappointing. Net revenue is only 200 thousand US dollars, which is 99.3% less than in 2006. Revenue excluding returns of goods, discounts, write-offs, etc. was equal to 21.6 million US dollars, which is only 35.7% of the 2006 level. It is assumed that the company's net losses for 2007 will amount to $ 14.8 million.
LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton reported its performance in the first quarter of 2008. Its combined sales of watches and jewelery rose 12% year-on-year to 211 million euros. Income of the group as a whole also increased by 5% and amounted to 4.002 billion euros, taking into account data on the Asian, European and US markets. With the help of its creativity and advancement to new markets, the company hopes to achieve growth in 2008. LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton also announced the acquisition of Hublot, a Swiss watch brand with a distribution network of 300 stores around the world. Hublot was established in 1980. Hublot will join the existing collections of LVMH watches, which include TAG Heuer, Dior Montres, Louis Vuitton, Zenith, and watches from jewelry companies Chaumet, Fred and De Beers. Hublot currently distributes its products in France, Switzerland, Germany, Latin America, Japan, Hong Kong, Russia, Singapore, Spain, the Middle East and the USA, and also starts its business in China and India. The prices for the Hublot-owned Big Bang collection range from $ 12,500 to $ 470,000.

The nominees Taraji Henson and Penelope Cruz appeared in creamy dresses and classic diamond jewelry. Jewelry Henson was one of the most discussed decorations of the evening: a diamond necklace of the 19th century in floral style from Fred Leighton. Vintage design was combined with earrings with six-crystal diamonds. And Cruise, who won an Oscar for her brilliant work in the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona, chose a Chopard platinum necklace, adorned with pillow-shaped diamonds weighing 69 carats, and a diamond bracelet, stud earrings, rings and a diamond hair pin.
Actresses Evan Rachel Wood and Diane Lane achieved a vintage appearance thanks to Neal Lane's platinum jewelery with diamonds, with Wood choosing the earrings, the bracelet and the ring, and Lane a flashy necklace, to which she added earrings and rings.
On the red carpet you could see a large number of monochrome clothes, however, attention was drawn to color splashes, including platinum earrings with green stones from Fred Leighton on actress Melissa Leo, earrings and a ring with emeralds from Lorraine Schwartz on Angelina Jolie and earrings in yellow gold with lapis lazuli from Van Cleef and Arpels on Marisa Tomei. Tomei also chose the brand bracelet "Ludo" from Van Cleef with diamonds and sapphires in 18-karat white and yellow gold. Amy Adams decided to wear the front necklace, choosing an ornament with green, red and blue stones from Fred Leighton.
Natalie Portman was one of the few actresses who took the opportunity to wear a bright-colored dress, just like Edams in red dress from Carolina Herrera, Heidi Klum in a red dress from Roland Mouret and Frida Pinto ("Slumdog Millionaire") in a blue dress from John Galliano. Fashionable critics vying with each other called Portman the most stylish participant in the ceremony. The actress had a lavender-colored dress from Rodarte, to which she added the diamond drop-shaped Kwiat earrings, a vintage diamond ring and diamond hairpins and scallops.  https://weddingpearlneecklace.tumblr.com/
After Oscar, the stars visited a lot of festivities, including the party of the Elson John anti-AIDS fund, the celebration of Fox Searchlight and, of course, always included in the prestigious list of the Vanity Fair party, the portal jewelry01.blogspot.com informs .
Many of the biggest Hollywood stars missed the ceremony, first appearing on the red carpet of the Vanity Fair party, including Madonna, who appeared in diamond jewelry from Neil Lane worth more than one million dollars, including black and white diamond beads (500 carats), 50 carat bracelet with diamonds and onyx, 20-karat pear-shaped diamond earrings and a large cocktail ring.

Since last year, the mood of most of the major players in the luxury sector has been reduced to cautious expectations. The forecast of consumer spending remains difficult, and brands are trying to plan their strategies according to changes in the surrounding economic environment, which is becoming increasingly complex.
The only reasonable solution now is to adhere to a thoughtful planning of a short-term outlook in the global economic environment and impact on consumer spending.
Last year, LVMH repeatedly reported an increase in sales, but in the first quarter of 2013, LVMH reported a 1% decrease in sales in the watch and jewelery sector to 624 million euros ($ 815.6 million).
The revenue growth of the group, which is a barometer in the luxury goods industry, has slowed since the second quarter of last year. Nevertheless, the group reported a 12% increase in dividends in the first quarter of 2013.
At the beginning of the year, the group continued its lines in line with the trends of the second half of 2012, noting strong growth in Asia and the US, while in Europe there was good stability, despite difficult economic conditions.
Watches and jewelry have shown significant progress in leading lines and the development of industrial capacity. In the first quarter, TAG Heuer celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Carrera line and the new partnership with McLaren, which was announced at the Geneva auto show. A good start this year was noted by other units of the group Hublot and Zenith.
In the jewelry sector, Bulgari recorded a significant increase in profits in its own stores, largely because of the success of its new collection Serpenti.
The total revenue of Hublot, Zenith, Chaumet, Fred and De Beers Diamond Jewelers for the fiscal year of 2013 increased by 6% to 6.94 billion euros ($ 9.07 billion). Organic revenue growth was 7% compared to the same period in 2012, when there was a sharp increase.
The group singled out the highlights for 2012, among which the first place was marked by profit from operations of approximately € 6 billion, further noted the further increase in its share in the world market, progress and growth in the US markets, improved productivity, excellent results Tag Heuer and Bvlgari , And also the flow of free cash in the amount of? 2.5 billion
Three large concessions were won in 2012 at the Hong Kong airport, and the concession at the Los Angeles airport was resumed. The opening of the third Galleria store in Hong Kong was also a key event of the year. Stable revenue from online sales continues to grow. New stores opened for the first time in Denmark and Sweden, in Brazil and India, where the high potential of the markets was noted.
According to financial director Jean-Jacques Guiony, "LVMH is seeing a slowdown in sales in Asia, outside of China, where tourist flows began to decline last year. Although we are working in a tough economic environment, we are fairly confident in the near future, "Gioni comments. "The group will continue its active strategy focused on innovation and targeted geographic expansion in the most promising markets."
LVMH hopes for favorable prospects in 2013, despite the uncertain economic environment in Europe. The company is well equipped to keep its growth rates in all business groups in 2013.
