What A Diamond Necklace!

The Machester News reports of a soccer star who commissioned a $447,124 unique diamond necklace for his girlfriend.

Altrincham-based jewelers David M Robinson said that the glittering necklace is the most expensive they have ever made.

The firm refused to say who bought the necklace, but the Manchester Evening News understands the buyer is a top Premiership soccer player living in Cheshire and playing for one of Manchester's big two clubs.

He made several trips to see the designers before presenting the piece to his lucky girlfriend this past week.

The necklace, which has 106 diamonds, is made up of the purest diamonds imported from a South Africa mine and hand finished over three painstaking months at David M Robinson.

A spokesman for the company, which also has premises in Manchester city center and Liverpool, said of the buyer, "He is a high net worth individual based in the northwest of England and involved in the soccer industry."

The mystery player commissioned the necklace from Robinsons and even got involved in the design process himself. The piece is made up of 106 diamonds at a total of 20-carats and is mounted on 18-karat white gold. The main diamond is a 3-carat, D Flawless.

Jo Harvey, spokesman for the jeweler, said, "This piece needs little, if anything, to complement it. The stone is very pure, very clear and startling."

The owner of the piece, and his lucky lover, were said to be "absolutely delighted" with the necklace.

My brother recommended I might like this web site. He was entirely right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine simply how much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

The iPhone 4 is no small thing to review. As most readers of Engadget are well aware, in the gadget world a new piece of Apple hardware is a major event, preceded by rumors, speculation, an over-the-top announcement, and finally days, weeks, or months of anticipation from an ever-widening fan base

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

I can see that you are an expert in this area. I am launching a website soon, and your information will be very useful for me.. Thanks for all your help and wishing you all the success in your business.

Syfy detest it or not it is often a a quality typeface remedy.. the NYPL logo is great, and I dig the the new pfizer mark. AOL is left to become observed as to if it could be the finest mark. I suppose 1 or two of the worst marks with the year had been notnearly that negative. I d isagree with Kraft I kinda dig that and msn.

Thanks for that l ist, the l ist will save me lots of time.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

some surpr ises but a nice summary on the 12 months that was.

superb blog & writing skills. you make this look easy lol. Keep up the great work I'll be back to read more of your posts later my friend!

It looks like you do not d isplay posts that critic ise your Designed by Committee??? logo. Why then bother inviting us to seem and comment?

I feel like you could probably teach a class on how to make a great blog. This is fantastic! I have to say, what really got me was your design. You certainly know how to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve made it possible for people to connect. Good for you, because not that many people know what theyre doing.

Thanks for taking the time to talk about this, I feel fervently about this and I take pleasure in learning about this topic. Please, as you gain information, please update this blog with more information. I have found it very useful.
