Rio Tinto Diamonds 23rd annual Argyle pink diamond tender has set record breaking prices. Every year Rio Tinto sells the year’s harvest of pink diamonds from purpleish reds to deep pinks.

This year 65 diamonds were tendered and sold to 17 bidders. While exact prices are not being disclosed, Rio commented that such diamonds are known to command more than $400,000 per carat.

The 2007 Argyle Signature Stones tender attracted approximately 100 bidders due to several very rare finds, including a rare grey-violet diamond and sever deep purplish-red diamonds.

The Argyle mine currently supplies roughly 90% of the world’s pink diamonds and the Argyle Signature Stones are the pick of the very best.

Gucci has released a new luxury timepiece, the Horsebit Cocktail watch. Adorned with a diamond pav‚ or semi-four, delicate horsebits clasp the watch’s slightly convex case, creating a jewel-like silhouette.

Available in two sleek treatments — stainless steel or white gold — the watch comes with either a lizard skin or satin strap, in black or white shades.

On the bands’ reverse, Gucci’s double-G logo is imprinted on kid-skin leather. A minimalist metallic dial — and a diamond-accented crown on the most deluxe versions — adds a decidedly sophisticated finish.

Designed by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini, the Horsebit Cocktail watch reflects Giannini’s strength for melding the house’s celebrated heritage with the ideals of modern luxury.

When it was announced that Pamela Anderson had married Paris Hilton’s ex-boyfriend, Rick Salomon, I’m sure that someone told Paris “This would be seriously funny”.

The present? A video camera with a note attached saying ” Congrats Mrs. Salomon, but be warned…love Paris.” You think Paris was referring the to the sex tape she had made with Rick just a few years ago? Nah, that would be mean, and we all know that the mean girl is Lindsay.

A source claims that Pam laughed it off and passed the box to Rick.
