In the ever-shifting landscape of finance and investments, where the tides of inflation dictate the ebb and flow of wealth, and the winds of market turmoil blow, certain commodities emerge as steadfast anchors in the storm. Among these hallowed treasures, diamonds, and gold stand out today as guards against economic uncertainty. With demand, the value can truly fly off. Consider for instance, the legendary 59.60-carat Pink Star diamond, a rare and exquisite gem that fetched a staggering $71.2 million at auction in 2017. Such monumental sales not only underscore the enduring appeal of diamonds as investments but also highlight the allure of exceptional natural specimens with their unparalleled rarity and beauty. Gold and diamonds are not only representing the financial wealth. In the world of fashion, diamonds are not mere accessories; they are reflecting aspiration, as symbols of unbridled luxury and timeless elegance. And thanks to a industrial production, synthetic diamonds have emerged as the crown jewels of a new era. With their flawless clarity and mesmerizing brilliance, these ethically crafted gems have captured the imagination of designers and connoisseurs alike, carving out a niche at the intersection of luxury. Believe it or not, the journey started in the rough halls (at the time) of Stockholm's ASEA lab, at Götgatan 16. Guided by the visionary zeal of Baltzar von Platen, and later supported by Halvard Leander, Erik G. Lundblad, and Fritz Wallin, the alchemy of high-pressure technology managed to copy the natural process of diamonds creation. Fast forward through the annals of time, and synthetic diamonds have transcended the confines of laboratory walls to grace the necks, ears, and wrists of the fashion elite. No longer tethered to the whims of geology, these ethically crafted gems shimmer with a brilliance unmatched, adorning the couture creations of the avant-garde and the red-carpet royalty alike. The true advantage of synthetic diamonds lies in their democratization of luxury, allowing anyone with a discerning eye and a flair for style to indulge in the timeless elegance of diamonds. When we buy our gems now, we just need to know the difference….

Founder of The Keys Guild. Collectibles Advisor Coach. Collectibles Buyer, Broker, Appraiser and Consultant.
The market for costume jewelry is projected to reach, wait for it...almost $40 billion by 2025!🤯 So many of the clients we work with have costume jewelry lying around that they might consider "junk," but you may need to encourage them to think again. ➡️This collectibles category has an annual growth rate of 6.5%. What does this mean for you? Ask your clients to get their jewelry out and take a closer look, even if they think they don't have anything of value! If it's sitting in a jewelry box, drawer, or even a bag, it's not serving them anyway, so what's the harm in looking at selling these items in today's jewelry market? Not sure what to do after looking at these pieces with your client? We can help! DM us the word "COSTUME," and we'd love to guide you in the right direction, or visit us here: https://lnkd.in/gjaZcBpn #dfwauctions #costumejewelry #jewelrymarket #collectiblescategories #collectiblesadvising

Bring Your Best Self to Every Event As we approach the weekend, filled with potential black tie events, it’s important to step into these elegant gatherings with confidence. Whether you’re attending a gala, a formal dinner, or a sophisticated reception this weekend, understanding the rules of black tie attire is crucial to making the right impression. Black tie is more than just a dress code—it's a guideline that helps us present our best selves. Here’s why it’s essential to be well-acquainted with these rules: 1) Professional Image: Adhering to black tie etiquette reflects your respect for the occasion and the hosts, enhancing your professional image. 2) Confidence: Knowing you are appropriately dressed as per the event’s standards can significantly boost your confidence, allowing you to network and engage more effectively. 3) Cultural Sensitivity: Each event may have its nuances based on cultural or organizational norms. Being mindful and knowledgeable about such details can prevent faux pas and show your attentiveness. Remember, the right preparation goes a long way in making memorable connections—have an enjoyable weekend! :-)
At a recent black tie event, my client was shocked to see the majority of guests did not follow the dress code but THOUGHT there were. (Hint: the big mistake is in the below article!) Therefore, as it is black tie season, I thought it would be helpful to include a quick "Black Tie Cheat Sheet" dressing guide, so no matter if you are at a charity gala, business fundraiser or wedding, you're all set:

Professional Organiser, Home & Wardrobe Decluttering & Organising, In Person & Online Consultations, Ex Apple HR
Get the most out of your wardrobe this Christmas Do you have a wardrobe full of clothes yet have nothing to wear? I hear that so often when working with clients. Having the right clothes plays such a big part in our lives, clothes that fit and flatter make us feel so much better about ourselves. So, time to create a wardrobe that you will love. To do this, ruthlessly declutter and only keep what you actually love and wear. Donate everything else so they can live on. Less is more: less time spent trying to choose an outfit, organising your items and maintaining them in your precious space. Contact me to see how I can get you organised for those Christmas parties. #organised #wardrobe #style #loveyourstyle #personalstylist #wardrobebasics #declutter #wardrobebasics
