This Columbian white gold, silver or platinum ring encrusted with Andean Emeralds is the official ring of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It’s a bargain, costing between $2500 and $250 000 a piecem featuring miniature bejeweled stadiums and soccer balls. The platinum rings are selling for a quarter million, featuring 220 emeralds. Theres only seven of these being made. Theres thirty three white gold versions for $70 000 having only thirty six emeralds and a few South African Diamonds tossed in for good measure. The World Cup MVP gets a ring for free but only one of the mid-ranged white gold ones. Sucks to be him.

This stuff by Joshua DeMonte is suprisingly not black, charcoal, or even ebony. It’s white. Go figure. Other than that it’s pretty architecturally inspired. It’s like if you had tiny elves build clothing for you and they reinforced it with arches, columns and masonry. Its a shame he used such anachronistic and dates architectural inspiration though – What would Calatrava think?
The perfect David Bowie song has been created, and it wasn’t even done by David Bowie himself. Dr. (of psychology) Nick Troop at the university of Hertfordshire has employed Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count on Bowie’s body of work to wind up with his song “Team, meet Girls; Girls, meet Team” which, according to him, is the ideal configuration of Bowie’s secret blend of ingredients. We don’t have to take his word for it though. He has actually recorded himself playing guitar and singing this track on video and put it up online for us to examine. It’s now only a mater of time before Bowie is fully replaced by a robot.
Aigle, in its newest limited edition offering for Autumn 2009 through Winter 2010, presents the Miss Juliette Starry Night Black Story rain boots for those times when its gloomy out but your weather appropriate footwear shouldn’t be.What makes them so good? They have four models in the Black Story line with these being obviously the best, bedazzled with Swarovski Crystals in a run of only 200 pair at €350. If you’re late to the party you’ll have to settle for the lowly Miss Juliette Bracelet Black Story boots which only have Swaroski Crystals along the top edge at €295, but honestly, at that point you’d be so gauche, you may as well slum it with plastic bags over your feet.
