Warhol became a collector of jewelry after his success.
He often wore pieces by Cartier or Harry Winston when he attended parties.  The Gems prints, featuring emeralds, rubies and diamonds, were a series Warhol created late in his life. Recently a German curator put one under an ultraviolet light.  The light showed a fluorescence, a glow.  This discovery was a pleasant surprise to those who know that Andy, himself, was always hiding his own glow, the jewelry, underneath his clothes.  “The Gems series has an autobiographical dimension (the secret love of feminine things, the sadness inherent in having to hide who he really was, despite his wealth and celebrity).

the taylor-burton diamond

You can’t have a list of famous diamonds and do not include the name of Elizabeth Taylor’s. Given to her by Richard Burton, this pear-shaped 69.42-carat diamond was originally owned by Harriet Ames, who felt it was too big to be worn in public. A problem Elizabeth’s character never had to  face in her life. It was sold at auction to Robert Kenmore, owner of Cartier, for $1,050,00 and has since become known as the first million-dollar diamond. Burton purchased it from Cartier for an undisclosed amount to give to Taylor for her 40th birthday. Taylor initially wore the diamond as a necklace, but the stone was set in a ring by the time it appeared in an episode of Lucille Ball’s Here’s Lucy. After Taylor and Burton’s divorce, Taylor auctioned the diamond off for $5 million and used the money to build a hospital in Botswana.

live inspired

Live a life full of inspiration. Look for that idea. Chase after your desire.
Take a long walk by the sea everytime you get the feeling you are loosing something that can never be lost,
the power to dream.

diamond cabinets by damien hirst

What if our memories lay like small shiny diamonds on the shelves of our heart?

 DANELIAN-DIAMONS-HIRST1

That is the thought that comes to mind when we think of Damien Hirst’s “Memories of/Moments with You”. Part of a collection called ‘Diamond Cabinets”, this artwork made of gold-plated stainless steel, glass and cubic zirconia was made in 2008 an has since then participated in many exhibitions,
several of them in Tate Modern.

Dear Mr Hirst, you’ve always known how to play with diamonds!
