Today's #DesignerSeries choice is Suzanne Syz, a woman of beauty and humor who apparently doesn't want much data out on line about her, so we'll respect that. #JewelWatch

She's based in Switzerland. Image
She works with an art business model, mostly. Meaning she produces individual pieces that are one of a kind, and sold at those prices.

In some cases artists also have a manufactured line that they design for, we'll be seeing both.

This is the piece that got my attention. Image
She's famous? Notorious? For her rings. They are fabulous, and extremely varied. ImageImageImageImage
Also at work? A great sense of humor. ImageImageImageImage
Her 'mere mortal' pieces are often anodized aluminum with tiny diamonds set in. And very fun. ImageImageImageImage
There are suites! ImageImage
Many of them fun, and funny. ImageImageImage
She also works with ceramic coatings, ImageImageImageImage
And titanium, anodized and not. ImageImageImageImage
Jade, when the mood strikes... ImageImageImageImage
So we'll cruise through the website, here, and see what other goodies we've got. "Pieces Uniques" it's labeled here. suzannesyz.ch/2014/04/21/the…
Great, it won't copy and paste, we're back to Google and "that looks like it's probably hers". ImageImageImageImage
Titanium, and the big slices of stone are low-grade diamond. ImageImage
ACTUAL CHANDELIER EARRINGS. Image
And this is the chesterfield ring, as in couch. As in upholstered furniture.

You can see why I love this stuff. Image
I keep returning to her earrings because they are awesome and also because most of them are very light, given what they're made out of. ImageImageImage
She could give DeBeers lessons. I think these go with the diamond slice bracelet and ring up thread. Image
She also passes the brown diamonds test. (Make something with brown diamonds that doesn't look like shit.) Image
So that's today's designer, Suzanne Syz. Still at work and creating, I hope for many years to come. ImageImageImageImage

Today's #DesignerSeries installment is going to be on a favorite of mine, Stephen Webster. #JewelWatch

He was a wunderkind when he was younger, now more of an elder statesman. Image
I've actually watched some interviews with him, and he's chill, articulate, and talented.

He also got a knighthood. Image
Born in the UK in 1959, he knocked around a little, studying, then returned to the UK and founded a shop in London in 1989.

During all that he won a couple design awards from DeBeers. Can't find that particular piece, so have a couple others. ImageImageImageImage

Okay all, a #BroochWarfare stream of consciousness.

First, if you're new here, or confused, have what's left of the original saga, available here, vox.com/2018/7/19/1758…
And for the more amusing, blurred out for vulgarity (HA!) version, dailymail.co.uk/femail/article…
...twitter ate that account. FYI.

"Seward [royal watcher/boot licker/minion]: People look at Duchess Kate and ‘see the perfect queen, young & beautiful’"

Kate is forty. QE assumed the throne at age twenty-six.
"Meghan must be so mad to see Kate looking like the ghost of a Confederate widow."

LMAO

Bracelets! Bracelets are so much more diverse than you'd imagine. Well, some of you. So yeah, let's do something other than brood and eat ice cream. #JewelWatch

First? The bangle. Thin/narrow, circular, and often worn in multiples. No bending allowed.
Wait, am I naming jewelers on this? Bottom row up there is Koulis, left, and Amrapali right.
The chain bracelet, which is just what it says. I don't have many of those because they bore me, except for a few with center-pieces.

Verdura, Ippolita, antique moonstone and sapphire, Leane.

Okay, yeah, we're gonna do it. Let's look at Kate's "best" ten outfits. #FashionWatch

Via British Vogue.

Look one, Jenny Packham in 2011.

Okay, yeah. This one was fabulous.
2018, American state dinner, Alexander McQueen.

There's a thing called a "prison press", where you lay your suit (or gown) below your mattress and sleep on it to flatten it out.

That's what this gown looks like it had done to it.

2021 Emmys. #FashionWatch

A few words since there's been some discussion and confusion. First, I don't watch TV, movies, much or pop culture, and am on YT for watercolor. I don't know who most of these people are. Blind reviews are both good and bad and I acknowledge that.
There was a comment in the Met Gala thread about false breasts; I had meant artificial as in costuming, not a boob job. My goal is not body-shaming and if it comes across that way I apologize. It is not my intent. But I often don't know who these folks are at home, so to speak.
Cher once said she got a nose job because she saw herself on a billboard and she really didn't like how it looked. And I thought that was brutally honest and respected the hell out of that. If you want to rebuild yourself to make yourself happy, you do you.
