Designer Jewellery Advent Calendar is Desirable

Posted: Dec 08, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

People with a penchant for designer jewellery will be happy with only one advent calendar this Christmas.

While most people would be content with the traditional cheap chocolate and festive scenes, Belgian company Octagon Blue GCV has created a bespoke advent calendar which contains several precious stones.

Weighing in at 81 carats, the intricate glass artwork features 24 diamonds, which are engraved with numbers that represent the days up to Christmas, as well as diamond shaped fairies and small parcels of quarter carat diamonds.

Customers are also able to request an exclusive piece of designer jewellery created by renowned German studio Biegel which brings the total price tag of the advent calendar up to £1.7 million, making it the most expensive in the world.

Oscar Brethouwer, Octagon Blue GCV director, told the Daily Mail that a number of celebrities had expressed an interest in the calendar which was the result of intensive work by designer jewellery specialists.

He said: "This is a very special piece which is truly stunning. We had 50 expert staff working 20 hour days to create it in time for Christmas. We're very pleased with the calendar and I'm sure it will make someone very happy this Christmas."

In related news, people keen on bagging some designer jewellery this festive period but think that the Octagon Blue advent calendar is somewhat out of their price range may be interested to know that Mariah Carey has been selling jewels on television.

The expectant mother appeared on the Home Shopping Network recently to promote the launch of her new line of jewellery, which includes rings, necklaces and bracelets, and shoes that are aimed at the affordable market.

Carey is not the only pop star to release a range as Libertines front man Peter Doherty has also got in on the act with his collaborative collection of military themed jewellery.

Christmas shoppers have been advised to be vigilant when shopping for designer jewellery online this month as internet fraudsters are increasingly active over the festive period.

Jim Watson, managing director of a security company, said: "As online purchasing becomes more fashionable, and the recession takes hold, web users must be more vigilant than ever of fraudsters."

Mr Watson said that internet users should always ensure there is a pad lock symbol at the top of a designer jewellery website and they must only shop on sites that have addresses beginning in 'http'.
