When looking for unusual jewellery pieces that feature something a little different from traditional round diamonds, you might check out briolette stones. Briolette cut diamonds have been around since the 1400s, yet the designs in which they are featured have a more quirky ambience than the likes of simpler solitaire rings. The stones themselves look a little like pear drops. Unlike most other cuts of diamonds, briolette diamonds have no crowns, pavilions and tables. They are dropper stones featuring diamond or triangle shaped facets throughout.

Due to the very nature of the cut, briolette diamonds are most frequently seen in dropper styles of diamond earrings, charm bracelets and pendants. They do not tend to found in diamond engagement rings. There are many other diamond cuts that sit more comfortably in engagement rings that often ultimately form part of matrimonial trilogies.

That is not to suggest, however, that briolette cut stones never feature in diamond rings. They do and, when they do, they dance and jangle on the finger. They work very quirkily when dropping from a highly polished and sleek band. Their multiple facets glint, shimmer and twinkle and the overall effect is cheeky, feminine, fun, playful and pretty.

From the traditional to the unusual, we are true artisans of all cuts of diamonds at Quality Diamonds. Our collections feature many classical designs expected of high calibre engagement jewellers. They also feature more unusual briolette pieces that are often not offered by a High Street jeweller.

Ali Kay started establishing her small business at Henri Bendel’s during her college time. While still coping with the busy life at school, she manages to set up a small venture that eventually led to a successful company at present. Anne des Barres was an intern at that time to Diane von Furstenberg, the mother of her fiancé Alex von Furstenberg. Diane sets Ali up to Anne des Barres and they became a business partner. Along came Keep Me. Together, they create a collection of glamorous loungewear that is comfortable to wear. Ali is the owner as well as the designer of the collection. Aside from that, she is responsible for the public relations and supervision of sales. She works hard in order to achieve what she has now.

Ali Kay and Anne des Barres think that they needed to create a design that is comfortable to wear at home as well as outside. It needs to be trendy and chic so the wearer will look elegant and still fashionable. The comfortable feeling is what they put on top of their list. With all of these in mind, they have generated a line of loungewear that meets all of their expectations. Keep Me has become prominent internationally. Celebrities are dying to try and purchase their apparel. All of them have nothing to say but good things about the products. Even style magazines started to feature her line and non-stop media exposures brought about good fortune to her and her business.

Keep Me is a collection that is composed of nightshirts, pajamas, nighties, tank tops, pants, leggings, cardigans, shirts and more. All of their products are made of high quality soft cotton, rayon, modal and spandex. It separates them apart from another product line. Ali Kay even said that when you get home and want to go straight to the bed, you will not feel uncomfortable at all. In 2008, Keep Me prevails in the Lingerie and Intimates Category in the International Design Awards. Upon winning the first prize, Keep Me has gained the recognition in the fashion business plus the consumer trust worldwide.

Beauty and simplicity should have different meaning, and should not be associated with each other. Stereotypically, beauty involves dolling up one’s self with lots of make ups and wearing complicated-looking clothes. Not a lot of people can walk around in simple clothes but still get people to stare at them because of how beautiful they looked. One of the girls who can pull this off is Ali Kay.

Ali Kay is a woman of simplicity as reflected in the line of business she is in. She spends her time designing comfy loungewear including tanks, pants, bralette and henleys. Her designs reflect where she has been all her life. Fashionable yet simple, this is what her designs would come as. Her simplicity also is reflected in the things she wear and in the products that she uses.

She likes to put on a quick, light and simple makeup. She loves comfortable clothes, thus she started her chic business. And she is someone who loves sharing her favorite things so everybody can give them a try. Ali Kay says that she cannot live without these products:

• Facial wash and moisturizing gel; both Tracie Martyn. She prefers using this because it is lightweight and won’t dry out on her face.
• Natural Deodorant; Jason, she thinks that this is a wise choice since anti-perspirants are unhealthy.
• And of course her famous loungewear, to keep her comfortable.  She loves her loungewear because she designed them to her liking.
