In a world where luxury and glamour often
come at a high cost, understanding the true
value of what we treasure becomes essential.
One such prized possession that has been the
center of many debates is the natural
diamond. Formed over billions of years under
extreme heat and pressure, these precious
stones are not just symbols of beauty and
wealth, but also markers of our planet's
incredible geological history. However, the
journey of a natural diamond from the depths
of the earth to a dazzling piece of jewellery
is fraught with ethical dilemmas and
questions of social responsibility. This
article aims to serve as a comprehensive
guide, shedding light on the complex world of
natural diamonds, ethics involved in their
procurement, and the social responsibility
incumbent upon both the industry and
consumers. We will delve into the labor
conditions in diamond mines, the
environmental impact of diamond mining, and

Choosing the perfect engagement ring is more
than just an act of love; it's a decision
that signifies commitment and a promise for
the future. It's not merely about picking out
a shiny diamond, but understanding the
intricate details that make up its brilliance
and value. One does not need to be a
gemologist to understand these facets, but
familiarizing oneself with the "4 C's" -
Carat, Cut, Color, Clarity - can
significantly help in making an informed
choice. This post aims to guide you through
these crucial elements, ensuring your
engagement ring is as unique and special as
the bond you share with your partner. The 4
C's are universally recognized standards for
assessing a diamond's quality, each
contributing to the gem's overall allure and
worth. However, the process doesn't end
there. Choosing an engagement ring also
involves understanding the importance of a
diamond certificate, recognizing your
partner's preferences, considering your
budget,

The Pelagos FXD “Alinghi Red Bull
Racing Edition” models come with
several firsts for TUDOR, that go beyond just
the watches. A long-term partnership between
TUDOR and Alinghi Red Bull Racing was
launched in 2022, the first time TUDOR
ventured into the world of competitive yacht
racing. In this centuries-old sport, victory
comes by fusing a resolutely daring human
spirit with the most cutting-edge technology.
The watches were born out of this philosophy,
by combining a high-tech carbon composite, a
first for TUDOR, with titanium and stainless
steel, just like on an AC75 (America’s
Cup 75) hydrofoil racing yacht. It’s
also the first time TUDOR has integrated a
chronograph Calibre into a fixed strap-bars
case. The daring and innovative spirit of
TUDOR is on full display when it comes to the
two new Pelagos FXD and Pelagos FXD Chrono
models. The watches are imbued with the
spirit of TUDOR and Alinghi Red Bull Racing;
two separate entities that share the vision
of pushing traditional boundar

Montreal, 1959. Pino Miserendino, a master
watchmaker and his wife, Pina Giannantonio,
open their very first boutique on St.
Zo­tique East street. Pino had no idea
that 60 years later, his jewelry store would
become a genuine institution in the heart of
Little Italy. As an expert watchmaker, Pino
could design a watch movement from A to Z, as
well as building, cutting and assembling
pieces. Custom jewelry was also another side
of his expertise: watchmaking and
jeweler’s craft are not far off each
other, since mastering the former allows the
latter. The Miserendino family is pursuing
this beautiful heritage to this very day,
with all the passion, professionalism and
know-how Bijouterie Italienne is renowned
for. From its early days as an engagement
ring and watch repair specialist to its
current incarnation as a showcase for current
trends, Bijouterie Italienne experienced a
genuine growth in its 60 years of existence.
The jewelry store features prestigious brands
such as Pomellato, Ro

When you visit the wine cellars of Moët
& Chandon in Épernay, 10 to 30
metres below ground a shiver runs through us.
Not only because of the cold, but also
because of the rich history of this great
champagne house created almost three
centuries ago in 1743. When you roam around
those vast limestone cellars that stretch out
over 28 kilometres, you begin to think that
one of the mazes might lead you to Napoleon
Bonaparte sabering champagne with his friend
Jean-Rémy Moët after having
granted him the Legion of Honour. The emperor
liked champagne, but he also liked the
boldness and business acumen of the
founder’s grandson, Claude Moët.
Napoleon would often visit the estate after
his campaigns, and the champagne Moët
& Chandon Brut Impérial was
created in his honour back in 1869. What can
explain 150 years of such tremendous success?
It’s all about the perfect balance
between three grape varieties: Pinot
Noir, Pinot Meunier, and local Chardonnay,
along with a ble
