This incredible toilet comes from the “Isis†collection featuring blinged-out bathroom fixtures designed by Jemal Wright of Hollywood, Florida.
The iced-out toilet is fully encrusted with Swarvoski crystals. The artist also has a matching sink up for sale.
For the small asking price of $75,000…um…..you could…uh…defecate like a king!
The 84.37 carat, D-color, flawless brilliant cut diamond which sold at the recent auction by Sotheby’s has generated tremendous press. The price for this bauble was a whopping $16.2 million dollars. The proud new owner of this rare and precious loose diamond is the founder of the Guess clothing company, George Marciano.
Here are a few pictures of this incredible gem!

So what happens when you are too busy to blog?
Well for one thing, I personally become frustrated.
I love blogging and enjoy researching the happenings and goings on in the diamond industry and community.
Unfortunately or fortunately (:-) 
, we have been incredibly swamped these past few days with incoming Holiday orders for loose diamonds and engagement rings specifically.
I simply have not found enough time to blog as I should.
What should I tell you; people are finding love and are committing to a life together during this holiday season. THERE IS LOVE IN THE AIR and engagement rings are flying out the door!!!
YAY!
So in the meantime, here is an awesome read on the results and analysis for sales with respect to the diamond industry and jewelry websites, re: this past ‘Cyber Monday.
I promise to make a concerted effort to blog more during this season.
..no, this is not a new year’s resolution…just yet. 
I will find time……
I just came across a fabulous website for any guy who is soon to be married.
GroomGroove.com offers pertinent and crucial information for all Groom’s to be.
From ideas for the marriage proposal, to choosing the perfect diamond engagement ring and wedding hall, you will find everything you need to know here.
What I love about this website, is the way the information is presented and the style in which the articles are written.
The website and articles manage to be fun, witty, and relevant at the same time!
Check it out.
NEW YORK — Retailers are hoping last week’s strong start to the holiday shopping season at malls and stores translates into a busy buying season online, which officially begins Monday (today).

I saw this beautiful vintage Cartier silver umbrella ring tree on Ralph Lauren.com.
I thought it would make a perfect Holiday gift…until I noticed that it “sold out”.
Not sure if that means it was a one-of-a-kind piece, or whether it was simply being sold in limited quantities…
Oh well…
We would like to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays!
We will be away Thursday November 22 – through Sunday November 24.
We’ll be back in full swing on Monday, November 25.
See you then!
We just got finished completing our new diamond sliders and search tools in time for the Holiday Season!
These new tools use the latest AJAX Technology to effectively and quickly sift through many thousands of diamonds to find the loose diamond that best matches your criterion.
These tools will immeasurably increase the usability, functionality and intuitiveness of a loose diamond search on our website.
The user is able to filter based on shape, size, color, clarity, price and even table and depth percentages.
All searches are saved and the user can search in increments of .001.
In addition, we have also introduced a new side by side diamond comparison which will allow the user to compare any 1-2-3-4 diamonds side by side with all relevant information on the screen in front of them.
We are excited about this new feature and implementation and look forward to your positive feedback.
