96-count package of toilet paper? Check. A massaging recliner chair? Check. A casket? Check. A $1 million diamond ring? Why, check. Check, indeed.
The Consumerist points out that everyone’s favorite discount store, Costco, is now shilling a 6.77 ct solitaire. Yes, there’s only one available, but like everything else lining the store’s shelves, the piece of bling is being offered at a steep price reduction — original IGI (International Gemological Institute) value: $1,601,875. That’s over $600k in savings (roughly one million rolls of toilet paper if we did the math correctly, and there’s no promises we did).
Aside from wondering who will buy the hunk-o-jewelry, we are curious about what’s going on chez Costco these days. Just last month, the mass-market retailer announced it would be collaborating with designer Kirstie Kelly on a collection of six wedding dresses, priced from $699 to $1,399. Costco: your one-stop wedding destination? Or your wannabe bridal salon?

Piaget Launches Limelight Garden Party Collection
From luxist.com
Filed under: Jewelry, Luxury Shopping In New York, the Piaget boutique on Fifth Avenue took on a terrarium look for the evening’s event, with the collection set in cases decorated to look like a wood nymph’s jewelry box. Cradled amongst the various faux flora, 18-white gold pieces sparkled under the display lights. A miniature, diamond-encrusted bird perched itself on a ring, seemingly ready to dip its beak into a cushion-cut rubellite gem. Other birds perched on a white gold sprig of diamonds and pearls, while a floral ring bloomed diamonds, emeralds and pink sapphires. One necklace’s 289 brilliant-cut diamonds seems to represent drops of dew caught on a diaphanous spider web. Another sprouted buds of pink tourmaline and pink sapphires, reminders that spring is, finally, here at least. (On view by appointment only.)

How to Clean and Store Diamond Jewelry (with video)
From luxist.com
Filed under: Jewelry, Video
“I find the easiest way is to either use a specialized jewerly cleaner or a straight clear, ammonia,” says Press. “Let the piece of jewelry soak in the solution for an hour or more. Use an old toothbrush and clean the sides and bottom of the diamond and then rinse it very well under hot water. Don’t be afraid of over cleaning your diamonds.” Be sure to be gentle with the brush, however, as diamonds can become loose from their settings if they are treated roughly.
A few words of warning: Jewelry should not be cleaned in or near the sink. If there is no better location for the cleaning, be sure the plug is in, to avoid the jewelry going down the drain. Also, it is very important that you to store your diamond jewelry separately, such as in individual compartments or pouches so they do not touch other gemstones. “Because a diamond can scratch another diamond,” advises Press. “It is even more important to keep your diamond jewelry separated from your other gemstone jewelry because diamonds will certainly scratch other gemstones.”
