Much has happened since last year’s highly-anticipated royal wedding,  and throughout it all, former commoner Kate Middleton, has truly proven her own.

...or hat?

Tiara?

In fact, Duchess was not the only title bestowed upon her.  Kate was also named “Hat Person of the Year” by the Headwear Association, as well as appearing on numerous “best dressed” lists.  There is no disputing that she deserved all honors!

While tiaras might not have become trendy headgear for us commoners, Kate has, with the help of the Princess Di ring, increased the popularity of sapphire jewels.  And of course, here at SES we embrace such trends!

The only question that remains is what Prince William will give his wife on such an important occasion as a first year wedding anniversary. While a traditional UK first anniversary gift is cotton, we think Prince William should nix that and go straight for the jewels…maybe some more sapphires to accompany that ring? I guess we will just have to wait and see…

In the meantime, if you are looking for some royally beautiful jewelry, be sure to check out our selection of color rings here!

May the warmth that this season brings fill you and your families with love, peace and happiness.

Best Wishes,

The Academy Awards are always a glamorous affair, and this year was no exception! 

From simply stunning looks, to more outlandish ensembles, there was so much going on.

One of our favorite looks was nominee Michelle Williams’ bold red/orange/coral Louis Vuitton gown,

topped off with a gorgeous Fred Leighton for Forevermark 30ctw brilliant-cut diamond necklace and brooch. 

Breathtaking!

The pinnacle of award season is almost here, with this Sunday’s 84^th Annual Academy Awards.

In the years since the ceremony’s establishment, the clothes and jewelry that the star-studded event features have become almost as (if not more!) important as the actual awards.   

We will be watching with bated breath to see what jewelry rocks the red carpet, and expect to see some similar looks to those that appeared at the SAG Awards and the Golden Globes.

Like most New Yorkers watching the Super Bowl this past Sunday night, we were primarily interested in seeing who would win the coveted championship, but not entirely.  Our focus was also on what the winning team’s Super Bowl ring would look like. 

Notoriously frosted in diamonds, the Super Bowl ring is a naturally coveted item. 

As Michael Strahan, former Giants defensive end once stated, “A Super Bowl ring should be a ten tabler, a ring you can see from ten tables away!”

Giants’ Past Super Bowl Rings:

With the awards season in full swing, celebrities let out all the stops during last night’s 18^th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG). 

Jewels of all shapes and sizes glittered on nominees and non-nominees alike.  From Angelina Jolie’s vintage black and gold earrings,

to nominee Jessica Chastain’s sapphire and diamond jewels, the one trend that really stood out was oversized and colored drop earrings.

Simply stunning!
