British Jeweler "Links of London" Holiday Sale - Thru 1/17/09

Links of London was launched in 1999 when the founder had a request to design a pair of fish cufflinks, the links were so popular they were soon ordered by Harvey Nichols the trendsetting London retailer. Today the British jeweler has locations around the globe.

Most all of the items can be personalized with engraving also. I'm adding the wisteria earrings to my wish list, they are sooo lovely...

Sarah Jessica Parker Launches "Covet" in Paris

Earlier this month, Sarah Jessica Parker was on route in Europe promoting the new Sex and the City Movie and in Paris to promote her scent "Covet". They LOVE SJP in Paris!

Sarah Jessica was adorned in a ruffled Giambattista Valli dress, and chose very classic antique and estate jewels from Fred Leighton. The jewels included vintage  (7.50 carats each!) European-cut diamond drop earrings, a 19th Century diamond necklace worn layered with a Tahitian black pearl necklace, and to add to the icing a stunning 9.0-carat antique cushion-cut diamond ring.

The scent, Covet Sarah Jessica Parker Eau de Parfum Spray is a feminine, classic scent described as "impulsive, indulgent, and irresistible". Sound like anyone you know? Perhaps inspired by her character Carrie Bradshaw. With notes of wet greens, geranium leaves, Sicilian lemon, and chocolate. The bottle is beautiful in a classic shape and she crystal shaped Covet Sarah Jessica Parker Solid Perfumeis a jewel in itself.
