One thing that I love about Jeff Cooper’s jewelry is the fact that he is to talented and so skilled that his jewelry is absolutely flawless each and every time. It doesn’t matter if he is creating a piece that is of the bridal category or he is creating something that is high fashion, this guy really has an eye for the details and he definitely knows exactly how to work all of those precious metals and definitely knows what he is doing with some of those diamonds out there.
Take this ring for example, this ring, it is so simple yet it is so complex and it looks absolutely incredible all of the way around! Not only does it have diamonds in it, but I think that the actual metal that is used is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and I absolutely love the fact that he used just the perfect amount of diamonds.
So really … what do you guys think about Jeff Cooper? Does he get the thumbs up? I think so!
As promised, here is the second, snake themed piece by the innovative and elegant designer, Roberto Coin. I find this ring extremely interesting. This piece comes from Roberto Coin’s Animalier collection, from the Cobra category.
This is the first of two featured, spotlighted pieces by Roberto Coin — both of which have a sinuous, sensuous, serpentine theme. I have become quite intrigued by the current animal trend in designer jewelry, primarily because the majority of it is so … laughably awful. Leopard print rings, bracelets with giraffe spots, gecko pendants. I mean, I get it, it’s cute. It’s just not really my cup of tea — mainly because I do not like tacky flavored tea.
Mikimoto’s Three Pearl Drop pendant certainly fills that order — and then some. The pearls are cultured Tahitian pearls in eight millimeters, eight and a half millimeters, and nine millimeters respectively. The chain is white gold. The pearls are unquestionably gorgeous. The design is unquestionably both innovative and elegant. This is a breathtaking piece of jewelry, and at $2,200.00 in Mikimoto’s own online store, it is worth every penny.
