Sparkle this Christmas with Marco Bicego Fine Jewellery

Sparkle this Christmas with fine jeweller Marco Bicego latest collections: Lunaria Diamond and Masai.
Lunaria Diamond is an evolution of the now iconic Lunaria collection launched in 2014.

The beauty of this collection is the incredible lightness of the gold which has been hand worked with the Bullino technique, where every surface of the gold is light etched away by hand to create  texture and to make the gold as light a possible. The texture complements the sparkling diamonds in the latest Lunaria Diamond collection.

Masai, the newest collection from the brand, is inspired by the art, traditions and proud legacy of Africa’s Masai people.

These striking bracelets are available in both white and iconic yellow gold. Wearers can play with width and the spacing between bands that run parallel to each other, seperated only by cushions of diamond pave.

NEW MISSONI AUTUMN WINTER 2016 CAMPAIGN

The backdrop of the new Autumn Winter 2016 campaign forms a lacustrine setting that is reflected and split in half by the waters of the Segrino and Alserio Lakes

.

Transposed from the metropolis to a natural environment, from furnished spaces to the valleys of Lake Como, the tableau is romantic, almost imaginary.
Multicolored, blended textures are articulated through space-dyed and solid-colored bands in vertical stripes or zigzags, fringed appliques, lengthy tape scarves, cardigans, jackets and overcoats are coordinated with pullovers, as if under a spell.

  The campaign is the second Missoni campaign from 27 year-old Londoner, Harley Weir, the star photographer famed for her debut online and her fashion collaborations. In Weir's distinct style, portraits of super model Frederikke Sofie  emanate sensually with character, whilst tying fashion to the uniqueness of the individual, transforming every shot into an iconic reflection of today - encapsulating and recording our moment in time.

Argos Leads the Way by Offering Fairtrade Gold Wedding Rings

Argos will be the first UK high street retailer online to launch Fairtrade gold rings in stores nationwide.
The new lines of wedding bands are available in four different styles retailing from £99.99.

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5577088.htm

 There are also be a number of additional styles available online only at argos.co.uk which can be delivered within 5 working days to a customer’s home.
 Each Fairtrade Wedding Ring will be imprinted with the unique Fairtrade Gold Stamp so that couples know that the miners were paid a fair price for the gold plus an extra amount of money in the form of the Fairtrade Premium, to invest in building their future.

 The launch comes at the height of 2016 wedding season, giving British couples choosing their wedding bands an opportunity to pick new styles with a beautiful story of provenance and integrity.

 The Fairtrade gold in the rings comes from SOTRAMI gold mine, located in the Atacama desert in Peru, 70 miles from the nearest town.
The artisanal smallscale mining community consists of 500 families and had little access to amenities such as shops and health care before selling on Fairtrade terms.

Since becoming certified, the miners have helped improve the lives of the town’s inhabitants by investing the Fairtrade Premium in a primary school and dentistry and a not-for-profit grocery store in the community so people can buy food at affordable prices.

 In the future they plan to help improve health care, waste management, electricity and water supplies for the town’s inhabitants.
 The introduction of the new Fairtrade styles is part of Argos’ ongoing commitment to good business practice including sourcing the best products while minimising social and environmental impact, securing long-term relationships and choosing products from traceable and well-managed supply chains which respect the environment and human rights.
