1. Harry Winston

4537546542 2be77d7e22 m 10 Best Jewellery in the World in 2010

This is one of my favorite jewelry brands because its store is located on New York’s prestigious Fifth Avenue and is one of the most luxurious addresses for jewel and ornaments. Even the famous artist Marilyn Monroe cited this in her song ‘ Diamonds are a girl’s best friend’. I love the designer who has created for well known royalty such as Queen Elizabeth Taylor II and Shah of Persia. He has worked on many world famous diamonds. I love his creation and the diamond drops which Richard Burton has given to Elizabeth Taylor. One should not do that even though Cartier sold these to Burton, Winston actually cut them!

2. Buccellati

4536914243 4b458f7de3 10 Best Jewellery in the World in 2010

The reason I like this brand is that it’s very exclusive. The brand is known for their engraved brushed-gold and platinum jewelry embedded with fine gemstones including rubies, emeralds, diamonds and sapphires. The above are all of my favorite gems.

3. Van Cleef & Arpels

4536914277 102cf92e32 o 10 Best Jewellery in the World in 2010

This is the ultimate in luxury, whether it refers to the sumptuous interior design of their worldwide stores or other.
The ‘mystery-settings’ technique it uses is a technique in which the prongs are concealed beneath the gems they hold, so that the effect is that of a shimmering field of jewels. The technique can be seen to great effect in the popular page-shaped brooch, which is still produced. Also very popular are brooches shaped like figures. I am especially fond of the one with “a ballet dancer turning a pirouette or adorable little animals.”

4. Graff

4536914301 ca889428e3 o 10 Best Jewellery in the World in 2010

The designer for this jewelry brand caused quite a stir at the Tefaf Arts & Antiques Fair. Part of the reason I like the brand is due to the designer who is born and raised in Geneva. The diamonds and platinum he uses are of the very top quality and that’s why I adore it.

5. Tiffany & Co.

4536914343 eeb7119c3c o 10 Best Jewellery in the World in 2010

Tiffany is the true legend. It became a major hit after Audrey wore it on the set of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I loved the pair Charles and John who teamed up with the then most renowned silversmith in New York, John C. Moore, laying the cornerstone for the continuing success of Tiffany’s silver design. The company has stores worldwide meaning you can get the same top quality anywhere. The big white gold and stellar pieces and the famous ‘Celebrations’ are their best sellers.

6. Piaget

4537562376 abaf50a3db o 10 Best Jewellery in the World in 2010

As diamond watches become a big craze for Americans and Europeans, Piaget, traditionally known for their diamond watches, creates diamond jewelry with their diamond studded Hearts & Charms collection and their Limelight collection which features my personal favorite gemstones like purple and pink sapphires.

7. Cartier

4536914411 187caeda24 o 10 Best Jewellery in the World in 2010

This is a world-known brand. It’s famous for his wild cats that are in platinum and white gold. The panther is still the symbol of the Parisian goldsmith. Their timeless charm is unmistakable.

8. Chopard

4537546772 c4cf2e3c55 o 10 Best Jewellery in the World in 2010

It is not only a watch brand. It’s something much more. Some of my favorite Hollywood actresses like Kate Winslet, Penelope Cruz, Hilary Swank and Charlize Theron have showcased Chopard jewelry.

9. Bulgari: one of the biggest names of our time.

Nowadays, it’s not uncommon at all to find that people are apt to keep a pet at home. However, with the popularization of pet-keeping, there come many troubles meanwhile. Among them, the most heated topic is the concern of pet care.

Pets always are so smart and emotional as human beings, so it’s rather significant to pay much attention to their living. Then how to treat the pets? In fact, pet care is not an easy thing; without professional care, the pet is likely to be weak.

4516322249 78bfef7fa5 m Pet Care Can Be Professional   3 Tips for Pet Keepers

If you don’t know how to look after your pet, or if you have not enough time to take good care of your baby pet, you can turn to the pet care professionals for help. But before choosing a so-called “profissional”, you should make it clear that what should a pet care professional be. Or you are likely to be cheated and your pet may be at the risk of weakening.

As professionals, they can be identified by the following aspects.

1 They have a back-up plan. Because they consider themselves business owners, they have procedures and plans in place to accommodate all the pets in their care – even if they get a flat tire, have a personal emergency, or catch the flu. As you interview pet-care providers make sure you understand, and are comfortable with their “back-up” plans.

2 They use a contract. In order to protect you as well as the business, pet-care professionals have a contract that details their responsibilities while you’re gone. It’s important to spend time reading the document and ensuring that both you and your pet-care provider are clear on what’s expected, and, what’s NOT expected. I’ve heard of pet-sitters who trim nails, clip fur and provide ‘extras.’ This is great, as long as you expect your dog to be trimmed when you return home.

3 Professionals never overbook. Find out how many visits your pet-care provider makes on an average day – then do the math. Ask your pet-sitter to be realistic about how many trips they can make each day in order to ensure your pet is getting visited for the length of time you’ve contracted. No pet-sitter starts out wanting to short-change their clients, but sometimes during busy seasons, in an effort to serve all the clients who make requests, they may be forced to shorten visits. If you are booking for visits during busy times, be aware of this.

In a word, you should never be too careless to involve your pet with risk. It’s of importance and help to realize the characteristics of pet care professionals. In this way, you can find the most reliable “professional” for the best service.

Cycling is an interesting sport popular among the young. It’s not only good for your body building but also for your stress relief. However, it’s also a little dangerous when cycling. So, before cycling, you’d better prepare well in order to make a relaxed and safe trip.

The basic step to keep your cycling safe is just to equip yourself with some cycling equipment as good as possible.

4516957040 3317cb28bf m Cycling Equipment   Prepare for a Safe Cycling

The first equipment you should possess is a wonderful cycling bike. You should learn to choose the right bike suited for you. When purchasing a bicycle, the most important thing you should look at is whether the frame is the right size for you.

The size depends upon your height, but also on the length of your upper body. These two factors will determine the height of the frame’s seat tube as well as the length of the top tube. Different frame builders often use different angles, resulting in variations in frame proportions. It is best for an expert to assist you personally in ascertaining the correct frame size.

Next you need to make sure that the saddle height is correct, usually allowing for 25 – 30 degrees of bend in the leg when the foot is at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Other adjustable settings include the length of the stem, the angle of the saddle (which is usually set parallel to the ground) and the fore-aft position of the saddle as it slides on its rails.

A cycling helmet is necessary for you. You should never forget to protect your head form hurt no matter what activities you are taking parting in.

Also, make sure that the helmet is firmly on your head and doesn’t make you uncomfortable at all.

It’s now a “fashion” to save money in America. This is not a joke but a fact. During the recovery of economy, every penny counts. Then, how can you succeed in saving money for a better life?

As to myself, I think there are three wonderful ways that can efficiently contribute to the money saving. If you want to save money as much as possible, maybe you can follow my tips to achieve your goal.

1 Make a plan.

It’s of great significance to make a plan in the money spending. With a complete plan, you will not only know what your money does spend for, but also realize the proportion of each item. In this way, you can make a decision to reduce the cost of certain item or immediately cut down the cost. Usually, we are likely to buy something redundantly for us without a good plan.

Create a budget and be realistic about all your incomings and outgoings. Make sure you know exactly what money you have and when you will have it. This will help you plan for events such as birthdays or holidays when you may need a little extra cash saved up.

2 Make less calls.

4517536582 a769e59d2f m My Three Ways to Save Money

Always, the young like to make calls with their friends too frequently. The more time you spend talking with friends in the phones, the more money you have to pay.

I have to admit that the existence of phones has shortened the distance between my friends and myself. But meanwhile, it has sharply increased my ordinary expenditure as well. In my opinion, it should be a good idea to save money from making less calls if possible.

We must keep contact with our friends all the time, but this doesn’t mean to call each other every day. In fact, we can send messages to our friends instead of making a call. After all, sending a message is much cheaper.

3 Have dinners at home instead of eating outside.

We used to eat out too much. By cooking at home we are much healthier, and with some practice, the food will taste much better than many restaurants. Honestly, it has made me much fussier when deciding whether I like something at a restaurant. Making homemade dishes can also provide delicious, wholesome lunches for the next day, or freezing for another day when there are no leftovers.

In conclusion, there are many other effective ways to save money. However, the three ways above, I think, are the most common ones from which everyone should get benefits. Just take actions from now on, it’s time to save money for your more comfortable life.
