Diamonds come in different shapes and sizes. Some ladies prefer small stones, while others prefer to stand out from the crowd by wearing an unusual piece of jewelry. Black, Starr & Frost has released a collection that will appeal to any woman. Some of the accessories are miniature and elegant, but there is also a special piece of jewelry in the line – the Empress necklace for $ 4.5 million. This is not just a thing – it is a sparkling dream.
Black, Starr & Frost is the oldest jewelry brand in America, which at one time created for the most influential families – such as the Carnegies, Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, Guddenheims and Windsors. The company opened one of the first stores on Fifth Avenue in New York. It was here that some of the largest gemstones in the world were sold to celebrities and members of royal families. They are mentioned by Marilyn Monroe in one of her popular songs “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend”.
Despite a history filled with jewels and socialites, the brand’s latest collection is designed for the common man. The line includes stackable rings, bracelets, pins and necklaces. “Accessories are as key to a good wardrobe as a well-thought-out outfit. Our pieces are made to stand the test of time,” said Black, Starr & Frost CEO Alfredo Molina. Crafted from platinum, 18-karat gold and diamonds, the collection is designed for everyday wear. Stones range in size from 0.33 carats to 53.58 carats.
For those looking for something a little more special, the brand offers an exceptional piece – the Empress necklace. Priced at $4.5 million, the accessory was commissioned by Molina himself. The necklace was created using 439 diamonds totaling 93.17 carats and 30 rare Burmese sapphires weighing 111.9 carats. It took over 1,500 hours to make the accessory. The most beautiful stones in the world were also used for the accessory. Transparent diamonds have a clarity class of D or E; colored ones – WS and VS. It is impossible not to agree with Marilyn – these stones can really become a girl’s best friend.
Jewelry from the Black, Starr & Frost collection is valued at $1,598-$161,150 and up.
