Thursday night was full of high fashion and sparkling diamonds! Calvin's Fine Jewelry participated in the 2011 Tribeza Fashion Show V.I.P. Party and we showcased our most beautiful jewelry from Joshua J, Michael B. and Calvin's Collection. Everyone was invited to try on jewelry and add their favorites to their wishlist! Many were excited to try on large diamond pieces, colored diamonds and beautiful sapphires. This was truly a night to remember. Thank you Tribeza for the invitation!

It was recently reported that an online jewelry company sold a $300,000 diamond using a mobile app. Apparently smartphone purchases happen quite frequently and range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars! A recent survey said that two-thirds of smartphone or tablet owners have used their devices to make purchases. So we’re curious… would you make a large jewelry purchase using a mobile app?
The team of Calvin's Fine Jewelry was invited to Fashion's Night Out at Neiman Marcus last night. It was to celebrate the launch of Society Diaries Magazine, an Austin publication. Lance Avery Morgan,
Editor-in-Chief, was the perfect host. The turn-out was great! There were lots of delicious hors d’oeuvres and cocktails with everyone dressed to impress. Models walked around wearing Neiman’s new fall fashion. We are super excited to be the featured jewelry boutique in the first issue of the magazine. Be sure to pick up your copy!
Astronomers have discovered the remains of a once-massive star, now transformed into a solid diamond five times bigger than Earth! The weight of the precious stone reportedly makes up ten billion trillion carats and is 4,000 kilometers in diameter. Astronomers have already named the space diamond
“Lucy” as a tribute to the Beatles song ‘Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.’ Scientists believe that the diamond is the heart of an extinct star that used to shine like the Sun. It is made mostly of carbon which is the same as a diamond! The cosmic stone completely outclasses all diamonds that have ever been found on Earth. The largest diamond, the Star of Africa was cut from the largest diamond ever found on Earth, a 3,100-carat gem. Since Lucy is likely to last for longer than the Earth or the sun it looks like a diamond really is forever!
Austin Fashion Week is a collaberation of events hosted primarily at participating retail and salon locations throughout Austin and there's nothing like a big party and fashion show to start the week off
right!The A.F.W. kick off party took place at Cowboy Harley-Davidson Saturday night. Models struded
their hotest designs down the leather and stud catwalk. We were able to see two fashion shows including Betsey Johnson, MotorClothes by Harley-Davidson and also a Mash Up of local designers. Thank you to our loyal customer, Lorie Sawyer for donating the tickets so we could participate in this once a year event!

The first question we always get is: why should I have my jewelry appraised? The most common reason to get a jewelry appraisal is for insurance coverage. A detailed document describing your jewelry and its
worth assure you of a comparable replacement in case of loss or theft. Appraisals are generally performed on items valued in excess of $1,000, have sentimental value or when you choose to sell the jewelry. It is crucial to get an appraisal on items you wear daily or if you own a piece that you could not afford to replace. The Insurance Institute of America recommends that jewelry be re-appraised every two years. If you are interested in having your Calvin’s jewelry appraised or updated we have a Graduate Gemologist on site and with metal and diamond prices at their highest there is no better time to protect your jewelry! For more information contact our Austin store.
So I asked myself, what would a $70 million dollar ring look like? Apparently it is made of only diamonds! 150 carats to be exact. A Geneva Company called Shawish designed the first diamond ring made entirely of diamond and introduced it to the world! This spectacular ring took over a year to design and has made quite an impression on the jewelry world. All we can say is WOW!
