Geneva watch fair dispatch: The gems don't stop

Who knew there were so many ways to say it with diamonds? Here in Geneva, the gems just don't stop.

blog_talya_geneva_01.jpg We went gaga for the latest collection from Gilian, the Turkish jewelry house that's become a favorite in Hollywood. Here, three of their extra large cocktail rings incorporating both ancient and modern techniques of jewelry making.

blog_talya_geneva_03.jpg Cartier's snake cuff—284 brilliant cut diamonds weighing a total of 33.98 carats, plus a 26.82 carat cabochon opal—was a total show stopper (above). And it even tells time. The cuff has a hidden watch face beneath the snake's sparkling crown.

blog_talya_geneva_04.jpg Limelight Jazz Party is the name of Piaget's new jewelry and watch collection, a mostly black and white assortment based on the theme of jazz instruments. Here, a keyboard watch made of brilliant baguette-cut diamonds and black spinel. Very Deco in feeling.
