Nadine Paris – Luxury before the lens
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
The last few weeks have been very very busy for us. We have been approached by a couple of new clients that we are really enjoying working with, new web campaigns in the making and many many photographs taken. One job we enjoyed this week was shooting for Harrods Luggage department (not strictly jewellery but hey – it’s Harrods!)

Travels Through The Jewel Box
Monday, August 9th, 2010
I recently reread the delightful book “Buried Treasure: Travels Through The Jewel Box” by the author Victoria Finlay.
Finlay travels across the world to tell the stories behind these miraculous oddities of nature. Her treasure maps are organized from the softest jewels to the hardest according to Mohs’ scale and each chapter includes curious and fascinating anecdotes relating to each stone.
The appendices in the back include lists of birthstones, anniversary gemstones, Mohs’ scale of relative hardness, alternative names, famous diamonds, names for cuts of gems, and glossary of gem words that are wonderfully informative.
This is an essential addition to your jewellery library and a pleasure to read.

Tomasz Donocik – 360 animation photography of amazing ring
Monday, July 12th, 2010
I literally squealed with delight when I opened the box containing the ring Tomasz Donocik, UK award winning designer, had dropped off with us earlier that day for us to do a 360 degree animation of it.
The ring speaks for itself and it shall be participating in an auction organized by Eco Art, a charitable institution for ecological welfare supported by Prince Albert II of Monaco. The Chairman of the acclaimed auction-house Sotheby’s will conduct this auction in Abu Dhabi on the 13th November 2010.
The art form chosen in 2010 is jewellery, and the theme is ‘extinct birds’, the Hornbill and the Saker Falcon.
