buying diamond stud earrings / Kwiat .
Q.I think I am going to finally buy a pair of diamond stud earrings. So the question I have is does the "name" really matter? Beyond the 4c's of quality, does anything else matter? In particular, I thought about buying .25 carats studs from Kwiat. Nordstrom has these on the anniversary sale. Would I just be paying for the name? I was browsing the Blue Nile website and even with the sale price their's are less expensive and have better clariy and color.
A.The Barkin exhibition occupies two galleries. The larger features wall-size glamour shots of Barkin, 52. Glass cases are strewn with art-deco diamond brooches, long strands of natural pearls and chandelier diamond earrings. A 16.9-carat diamond pendant necklace, which Barkin wore to sleep and lounging at home in sweat pants, according to Christie's, has been assigned a top estimate of as much as $800,000. There have been many high-profile single-owner jewelry auctions, usually following the death of a grand dame, but this is possibly the first such sale driven by divorce and the wife's unashamed profession that she wants some karmic cleansing -- and maybe just a bit of revenge. You have to have big money to put together a collection like that,'' said Leighton, who said he sold Barkin 48 of the 102 lots in the sale. She liked rarity, she liked things that were antique and she liked the idea of them being one-of-a- kind.
