Moissanite is a created gemstone that was born from a rare geological find more than 110 years ago. Discovered by French scientist Dr. Henri Moissan, Moissanite can trace its origins to particles found in 1893 in the Canyon Diablo meteor crater in Arizona. These natural Moissanite crystals were too scarce and tiny to set into jewelry. For years, scientists tried in vain to re-create these rare and extraordinarily brilliant crystals. Only recently, through the power of advanced technology, is Moissanite now available to you.

The World Jewelry Center plans to scrap designs for nearly 100 residential condominiums and delay its opening for another year or more, its developer said.
The latest setback for the proposed 1.1 million-square-foot wholesale jewelry marketplace is the second delay in about a year, and comes as Union Park is researching cutbacks in its own residential plans.
The World Jewelry Center, a major Union Park project first postponed a year ago will now likely not be completed until 2012 or later, said Bill Boyajian, the jewelry mart’s managing director. The 98 planned residential condos will also likely be eliminated and a proposed 50-story tower be reduced by 10 stories. (more…)

LOS ANGELES - If there is one thing 2008 will be remembered for when it comes to fashion, it’ll be for bringing back big, bold “Dynasty”-era jewelry. We saw it on the runways at Balenciaga, Lanvin, Vera Wang and Louis Vuitton as the fall shows ushered in the trend of the “statement” piece. We also saw it on the red carpet. Remember that 1,400-carat rough-cut diamond necklace Nicole Kidman wore to the Oscars in February? We even saw it on the campaign trail, where Michelle Obama single-handedly brought back the brooch when she pinned an Erickson Beamon starburst on her teal-blue dress at the Democratic National Convention. (Erickson Beamon has since scored a Target collection, due in February.) (more…)
