There is a new addition to Anjolee's "Diamond Dreams" collection – the Timeless Dreams Tennis Bracelet, now available on Anjolee.com.

Since the Timeless Dreams Tennis Bracelet, like the other tennis bracelets in the Diamond Dreams collection, features almost no spaces between its links and all the brilliant round diamonds are set in nearly-invisible prong settings, the eye is drawn to an apparently seamless row of fine diamonds rather than to the hardware.

Customers order the bracelet according to their specifications – deciding on the type of metal and the number of links. The diamonds themselves are available in 11 different sizes that range from 2.5 carats to 13.5 carats. The Timeless Dreams Tennis Bracelet became available for online purchase from www.anjolee.com on August 20, 2010, at a starting price of $1,143.25.

Anjolee's "Diamond Dreams" collection has received rave reviews. In the words of one extremely satisfied customer: "I love that we were able to choose the size, color and clarity and that I got a strong setting that allows light under the stones. My gorgeous bracelet is extremely well built!" More customer reviews are available in the Feedback section of Anjolee.com.

Before this year's World Cup began, it was a safe bet that few people outside South Africa had ever heard of a vuvuzela, let alone a gold-and-diamond-decked one.

But a Russian businessman approached Austrian jeweler Klemens Pointner about gilding and bejeweling one of the long plastic horns for a business contact who'd come down with World Cup Fever.  Pointner told his client that while he could set the horn with as many diamonds as he wanted, there were few vuvuzelas to be had in Austria.

The jeweler wound up ordering a vuvuzela from South Africa and set to work feverishly, covering the £2 piece of plastic with white gold and gems – including a one-carat diamond.

Pointer said he had to work fast, so the client's acquaintance could trumpet the diamond-decorated horn at the World Cup final, but enjoyed making the piece.

The bill? With the gold and the diamonds, as well as the shipping, the vuvuzela cost close to £20,000.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, diamond-studded stilettos are dazzling fashionistas.

Paul Simon's song might have talked about the girl with diamonds on the soles of her shoes, but Simon has nothing on Christopher Michael Shellis, the award-winning Birmingham designer and creator of the Eternal Diamond Stiletto.

How often do you find a piece of jewelry you can walk in? Eternal Diamond Stilettos are sure to be the next must-have red carpet accessory. The elegant jewel-encrusted heels are handcrafted from pure gold and set with 2,200 diamonds, all brilliant cut. The diamond bling on these babies weighs in at a whopping 30 carats!

If the sparkle of thousands of diamonds weren't enough to knock you off your bejeweled feet, the Eternal Diamond Stilettos also feature a lovely, elegant stamen fluted heel, a design inspired by the stamen of a lily.

These bejeweled shoes – should we call them "jewelry shoes," or perhaps "shoewls"? – are painstakingly handcrafted by an elite team of jewelers at Shellis's House of Borgezie.
Eternal Diamond Stilettos will cost you £100,000 per pair (a mere £50,000 per foot).

But rest assured, even as footwear, a diamond is forever – these awe-inspiring diamond-encrusted party shoes come with a 1,000-year guarantee.

The demand for polished diamonds in India and China may soon reach the same level as its American counterpart, and will position them as the biggest diamond consumers in the next decade – at least according to a recent precious stone global demand review by the world's largest diamond mining company De Beers.

Gareth Penny, Managing Director of De Beers, said that China, Hong Kong and India "would (eventually) account for the one-third of the global demand for the precious stones as diamond engagement rings, and other diamond-studded Jewelry are fast becoming a rage among the youngsters, especially among the Indian and the Chinese bride.

"About two decades ago, hardly any Chinese or Indian brides received diamond engagement rings. But, now nearly half of the couples getting married in these countries are buying them," he added.

In 2009, the United States accounted for about 40% of global diamond demand, with China and India around 6%-7%. However, De Beers forecasts that China would soon account for 16% of the global diamond demand and India for the same percentage by 2016.

A recent KPMG study suggested India's 2010 jewelry sales will near $21 billion, and may reach $37 billion by 2015.

Currently, out of eight key world retail markets, the US accounts for 45% of all jewelry sales, including diamond, platinum, gold and others. India and China, which follow with 8.3% and 8.9%, will emerge as the market equivalent to the US by 2015.

Industry sources said the diamond jewelry demand in India is expected to see a 50% hike by 2012, a from the current $4.2 billion diamond trade jewelry sales, attributed to rising gold prices and the fast growth popularity of the diamond-studded Jewelry among the Indians.
