Go (window) shopping for the world's most lavish jewelry with Paris-based blogger Debra Layne Healy
Diamonds, as they say, are a girl's best friend. But what about Rubies? Emeralds? Opals? If your taste runs to sorbet as well as ice, check out "Diamonds and Rhubarb" an ongoing blog written by Jewelry Historian, Designer, Dealer, Author and (rabid) Enthusiast Debra Layne Healy. Based in Paris, Healy has devoted most of her adult life to fine jewelry. After checking out her lavishly-illustrated blog, it's easy to understand why; Who could resist a heart-shaped bundle of round rubies, set in gold, all wrapped up in a diamond-studded "rope"?
And that's just the beginning. No tennis bracelets here, but check out Marlene Dietrich's enormous ruby bracelet with diamond straps, or the jellyfish brooch in gold, platinum, diamonds, moonstones and sapphires. An afternoon browsing Healy's blog is an education not only in the art of jewelry, but the craft and the history. Search: diamondsandrhubarb.blogspot, and get ready to lose your breath.
