| 20 gorgeous beauty products that deserve a place on your vanity - Yahoo Lifestyle Posted: 09 Apr 2020 12:00 AM PDT  Politics The Daily Beast Don Lemon Grills Stacey Abrams on Joe Biden Sexual Assault AllegationStacey Abrams has made her ambition to be Joe Biden's running mate abundantly clear over the last couple of weeks. And to that end, she offered the presumptive Democratic nominee her unwavering support when questioned by CNN's Don Lemon about the sexual assault allegation against Biden on Tuesday night. "As someone who wants to be his vice president, I think it's important that we speak about something that's in the news now," Lemon said near the end of his conversation with the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate, before laying out the details of Tara Reade's claim. "CNN has now spoken on the record with her former neighbor who says Reade told her about the allegation within a few years of the alleged incident," Lemon said. "Biden's campaign says untrue, never happened. Is this a credible allegation?" "I believe that women deserve to be heard and I believe that they need to be listened to," Abrams said carefully. "But I also believe that those allegations have to be investigated by credible sources." She cited an in-depth New York Times investigation that found the accusation was "not credible," though new information has emerged in the two weeks since it was published. "I believe Joe Biden," Abrams said. "I believe that he is a person who has demonstrated that his love of family, his love of our community, has been made perfectly clear through his work as a congressional leader and as an American leader. I know Joe Biden and I think he's telling the truth and that this did not happen." With her conclusion, Abrams appeared to be parroting official Biden campaign talking points, which read, in part, "Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly reviewed. In this case, a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen."Stephen Colbert Grills Bernie Sanders: Are You Endorsing Biden or Not?Lemon could have left things there, but instead he confronted Abrams with a tweet she posted in 2018 that condemned Senate Republicans for "rushing" Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation forward despite the "courageous and compelling testimony from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford." "Are you applying a different standard now?" Lemon asked. "Not at all," Abrams replied. "I believed then and I believe now that women deserve to be heard because too often they are not. And Tara Reade deserved to have her story listened to and investigated. What was happening with Christine Blasey Ford was there there was no investigation. There was a rush to move it forward so no investigation was conducted." "So you said you've heard her, you've heard enough, you don't believe her, you believe Joe Biden," Lemon said.After once again returning to the Times investigation, Abrams said, "I believe the Biden I know. And I think he will make women proud, that he will make America proud." Asked if Biden needs to "address this more directly and more publicly," Abrams said, "I believe his campaign has been very clear. And I believe that is the approach that they intend to take and I support the approach. "We don't want women to ever be afraid to come forward," she concluded. "But we also have to recognize that allegations should be investigated and that those investigations need to be borne out."

| They’ve Got Their Gems to Keep Them Warm - The New York Times Posted: 23 Jan 2020 02:26 AM PST  PARIS —- January is the quieter of the two couture seasons when it comes to displays of haute joaillerie. With many top clients preferring to spend summer in the City of Light rather than the short chilly days of winter, some houses prefer to keep their shimmering meditations on the power of work done by hand under wraps until later in the year. But not all. Houses like Graff — known for its expertise with large diamonds, like the Lesedi La Rona, a 302.37-carat stone that is the world's largest emerald-cut diamond — put on quiet presentations of a handful of new design pieces. Others — like Louis Vuitton, which this month announced it had bought the 1,758-carat Sewelo, the second-largest diamond in history — put on a showcase of stones. Or in the case of Vuitton, that one very large stone, which will be sent to Antwerp, Belgium, to be cut into smaller stones that can be worked into pieces codesigned by some of the house's most important customers. And then there were those houses that were determined to put on a show. Here is a rundown of what we saw in and around the Place Vendôme. CHANEL Tweed de Chanel Tweed has been synonymous with Chanel ever since Coco transposed it from men's to women's fashions in the 1920s. But for the first time, the house this month took its inspiration for a high jewelry collection from the textured cloth that originates in Scotland. Set amid soft sprigs of purple heather, bagpipes in the background, the 45 pieces on display had all the color and texture hallmarks of tweed, realized in a sparkling array of precious metals and stones rather than wool. Take the Tweed D'Or necklace, fashioned into a collar of crisscross intertwined layers of 18-karat gold and platinum, with cultured pearls, diamonds and one oval-cut topaz at the center, plus a pair of round earrings — inspired by jacket buttons — to match. A secret watch, the industry term for a timepiece with some kind of cover to keep the dial hidden, was created in yellow gold and finished with a house signature mix of white diamonds and black onyx with a strand of pearls running around the wrist. And another necklace — the Tweed Couture — imitated the irregular weave of colored tweed by creating a fluid fan of strands set with diamonds, pink sapphires and spinels, interlaced with a lattice of fine gold yarn. Perfect for anyone with a need for tweed. DIOR Dior et Moi For her latest collection, called Dior et Moi, Victoire de Castellane looked to a romantic style of ring known as "toi et moi": two gems that sit side by side or close to each other on a band, symbolizing two souls becoming one. Traditionally, the two stones are of a similar cut and carat; Ms. de Castellane, however, has never done anything by the book in her more than 20 years as Dior's creative director of jewelry. An explosion of colors, mismatched sizes and styles — with the flavor of her anniversary collection presented last summer in Venice — brought some contemporary charm to an old idea in this 39-piece collection. There was a set of rings in turquoise and pink sapphires, for example, designed to sit at different levels on the same finger and connected by a chain. And a pair of earrings with one small pink pearl stud teamed with a larger opal that dangled on a chain, encircled by a pavé pattern of tiny precious stones — mandarin garnets, peridots, emeralds and purple sapphires — looking like the colors of the rainbow on brushed gold. Some larger, more conventional high jewelry pieces also were on offer: a rubellite bangle, finished in pink gold and lacquer, for example, or a showstopper teardrop opal and diamonds on a string of pearls. It all felt very quirky and abstract, with a heavy dose of Parisian charm. BOUCHERON Signature The big reveal at Boucheron this season was of eight new Question Mark necklaces, an original asymmetric design created by Frédéric Boucheron in the 1870s that loops around a wearer's neck, leaving a gap in front between the two ends. But at least one of those ends has a striking embellishment encapsulating the atelier's creative flair and imaginative whims. Claire Choisne, the house's creative director, unveiled several designs that would feel familiar to Boucheron devotees: a shimmering set of golden wheat stalks, for example, or curling acanthus leaves (Feuilles d'Acanthe), all fully articulated to move with the wearer and delicately balanced to sit comfortably across the neck and collarbone. Another piece inspired by tumbling hydrangeas involved scanning each petal of the flowers before recreating them in mother-of-pearl and covering them in pavé diamond; it took 520 hours of work. In a next door salon the color of candy floss, was a selection of pieces in frosted diamonds and rock crystal, set amid bonbons and jelly beans, for those who like something sweet to finish. CHOPARD Exceptional Stones There was a surprise in store for those who came to Paris's Place Vendôme, the world epicenter of haute joaillerie, for the latest Chopard collection, Exceptional Stones. Set among a bed of flowers in kaleidoscopic hues were a series of stunning stones in glass cabinets: a large emerald-cut 33.26-carat fancy yellow diamond; two near-identical round Colombian emeralds of, respectively, 32 carats and 36 carats; a triangular-cut 34.63-carat tourmaline from Mozambique, among several others. But the intricate designs that eventually would turn them into necklaces, earrings and rings were there in sketch form only, displayed outside the cases. It was a smart idea that enhanced the natural beauty of the gems, though there were plenty of other finished pieces from the Red Carpet collection on display nearby for those who needed something more tangible. One jewelry trend coming in hot from Hollywood? A preference for yellow over white diamonds, a Chopard representative said, as some actresses say the stones look less harsh against their skin. CINDY CHAO THE ART JEWEL Black Label Cindy Chao founded her company, Cindy Chao The Art Jewel, in 2004. Sixteen years later and the Taiwanese jewelry designer was in Paris to celebrate, not just the addition of her Ruby Butterfly brooch to the permanent collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs with a glittering dinner Monday, but also the completion of several new pieces for her Black Label collection. Two standouts glimmered in the suite at the Ritz Paris: The Aurora Butterfly brooch had an aluminum thorax with four pigeon blood Burmese rubies, each weighing two carats. And from that metal body, three layers encrusted with a total of 6,023 small precious stones — particularly sapphires and yellow diamonds — took flight as the butterfly's wings. And the Emerald Sculptural Bangle, centered around a 7.61-carat heart-shaped Colombian emerald, with 5,305 shards of diamonds, sapphires, demantoids, garnets and other gems hammered into its 18-karat gold band, was a feat of engineering thanks to five hidden joints that allow it to lie completely flat when not on the wearer's wrist. |
| Best Pearl Drop Earrings - Freshwater Pearl Earrings for Women - MarieClaire.com Posted: 10 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT In our biweekly series, editors share "the item they wear to death," whether it be a basic white tee or a super-trendy jumpsuit. Prepare yourself (and your credit card) for some guilt-free shopping. Some might regard pearls as too traditional and matronly, but they're fit for royalty, both real (Queen Elizabeth has not one but three pearl necklaces on rotation) and fashion (Coco Chanel was rarely seen without her (faux!) stack of ivory beads). Don't get me wrong, I still have a thing for diamonds, but maybe just maybe pearls can fight for the role of a girl's best friend. Finding the perfect pair of pearls is a challenge, though. I was looking for something chic, but not too classic. My hunt led me to Net-a-Porter and it was there I serendipitously found the pearls of my dreams from Aurélie Bidermann.  Rewind to that late spring morning when I added these to my checkout cart and swiftly arranged to get them delivered on the same day (instant gratification is not overrated). I had no idea just how much wear they would get. I've dressed them up with silk gowns at weddings and paired them down with my signature culotte/sweater combo for work and group dinners. I wear them so much that my friends and coworkers have actually asked me if I own any other earrings. (I do, but these are my favorite.) They're made in France from 18k yellow gold–plated brass and fresh water pearls, so they don't irritate my extremely sensitive ears. These little baubles were also under $200, so they're affordable (especially given that I wear them almost every day), and bring a little bit of class to my deserving earlobes and wardrobe.  My beloved pearl earrings are one of my greatest investment pieces, and I plan to keep wearing them for years to come. If my word alone isn't enough to convince you of my love for them, here's a portrait of me wearing the Aurélie Bidermann earrings—painted by Brooklyn-based artist Robert Dandarov—that ties them to me for eternity. The girl with the pearl earring, you say? Yes, that's me.  Shop my exact pearl earrings, plus similar options, below.
