But I know what I like.' She smiled, and et the cat drop to the floor. 'It's like Tiffany's,'she said. 'Not that I give a hoot about jewellery. Diamonds, yes. But it's tacky to wear diamonds before you're forty; and even that's risky.
Truman Capote (Breakfast at Tiffany's: A Short Novel and Three Stories)
The pool,” said Kallorek, pointing. “The pool, right there.” “You mean the pond?” “I mean the pool,” growled the booker. “Get in. Swim.” He accompanied these words with effusive gestures that set his jewellery ringing. Clay examined the pond. “Swim to where?” he asked. “What do you mean swim to where?” Kallorek’s brow deepened. “Is it a healing spring?” Gabe asked. He flexed his arm, wincing as he extended it fully. “Because I think my elbow—” “Listen, fuck your elbow!” Kallorek blew up. Clay had forgotten how short the booker’s fuse was. That big toothy smile one moment, and the next …“It ain’t a spring, or a pond, or a godsdamned sea nymph’s bathtub. It’s a fucking pool. Just a pool! You swim around in it to relax.
Nicholas Eames (Kings of the Wyld (The Band, #1))
Life is short, he thought. Art, or something not life, is long, stretching out endless, like concrete worm. Flat, white, unsmoothed by any passage over or across it. Here I stand. But no longer. Taking the small box, he put the Edfrank jewellery piece away in his coat pocket.
Philip K. Dick (The Man in the High Castle)
Anjali, 19, studies at Gargi College, in Delhi. She and her younger sister were raised disguised as boys but without the freedom. They were always dressed in boys’ pants and shirts even as little girls. There were no frocks or dresses. A barber always cut their hair short. No hair clips or ribbons. No make-up, not even kajal. They were denied all signs of femaleness in clothes, hair, jewellery and they were kept at home as much as possible. Once, when Anjali returned home with nail polish on her nails from a friend’s house, her mother hit her and the nail polish was scraped off. These restrictions continue in college. Anjali feels suffocated and slipped me a note in a college classroom requesting me to intervene.

Business was booming for Tiffany & Co. in the late 1990s, thanks to the introduction of a new affordable silver jewellery line. The $110 silver charm bracelet inscribed with the Tiffany name was coveted by teenage girls, causing sales of the new silver product line to skyrocket 67% between 1997 and 2002. By 2003, company earnings had doubled and the silver jewellery line accounted for a third of Tiffany’s U.S. sales. And yet the queues of excited girls didn’t fill the store managers with joy. Sure, sales were up and stores were busy, but the people close to the brand, who understood its heritage, began to worry that this lower price point would forever change how the brand was perceived by its high-end customers. “We didn’t want the brand to be defined by any single product.” —Michael Kowalski, CEO, Tiffany & Co. Despite some unease from investors, Tiffany raised prices on their most popular silver products by 30% over the next three years and managed to halt the growth of their highly profitable silver line. And so the company sacrificed short-term gain and profits for the long-term good of the brand by telling the story they wanted customers to believe—that Tiffany’s represents something special. A client recently told me about her friend’s excited engagement announcement on Facebook. All she did was post a photo of the Tiffany blue box—not a picture of the ring in sight. The box alone was enough to say everything she wanted to say. QUESTIONS FOR YOU How are you least like the competition?

I was studying at Besant Girls’ School at Mangalore. The teachers were also training us in various extracurricular activities. Some of us friends were in the dance and drama training class. Shivarama Karanth was our dance teacher! The appointed day for staging some play was approaching. We were rehearsing hard for the day. That was not the first time I had seen Karanth. Many a time I had been the target of his short temper during our drama rehearsals. I had also argued back with him more than any other student in the class. On this day he had called all the girls to help him in making the costumes and jewellery needed for the play. Lots of gold and silver foils, coloured crepe papers and beads were spread out before him. With his nimble fingers literally dancing, Karanth wielded the scissors to cut out papers and foil, sticking them to create crowns, waistbands, armbands and such other costumes. He was so fast and so deft! I was mesmerised by those artistic hands. In the past, I had argued as well as chatted with him happily, along with my friends, without feeling such an emotion. But this was a very decisive, strange moment in my life. Until then I did not know what I really wanted to possess in my life … On that day, at that moment, I felt I had to possess those magical hands, forever. A strong desire filled my heart to make those hands exclusively mine. Those magical hands began to haunt me day and night after that moment. Being a girl, the only way I could possess them was to marry the man. Traditionally, a girl’s mother is the conduit to carry a daughter’s desires to her father. I wasn’t that fortunate: I had already lost my mother. How I wished my mother were alive! After brooding over my dilemma for two days, I could see no other option than boldly opening my heart to my father.

Real Dubai Call Girls 0501780622 Gold Souk Nights – Deira, the old heart The alley behind the Gold Souk was narrow, hot, and loud with haggling even at 1 a.m. Neon signs in Arabic and Hindi flickered over piles of 22-karat bangles, but Zara wasn’t here for jewellery tonight. She slipped through a side door marked only with a small brass camel, climbed the creaky wooden stairs above a spice shop, and knocked twice on the green paint-peeled door. It opened instantly. Armaan filled the frame: tall, Pakistani, thirty-one, sleeves rolled up on a half-unbuttoned kurta, gold chain glinting against brown skin. The tiny apartment smelled of cardamom, oud, and the cheap rose attar he knew she liked. “Thought you weren’t coming,” he said, voice low, already pulling her. “Flight from Karachi was delayed,” she lied. She’d actually been in a Burj Al Arab suite until an hour ago, scrubbing another man’s cologne off her skin in the hotel shower. He didn’t ask questions. Never did. He just pulled her inside, kicked the door shut, and kissed her like he was trying to erase every fingerprint that wasn’t his. They didn’t make it to the bed. He lifted her onto the old teak dining table instead, shoved her short black dress up to her waist, and dropped to his knees on the worn Persian rug. The fan spun lazily overhead; sweat already beaded between her breasts. “Missed this taste,” he muttered against her thigh, biting the soft skin hard enough to leave a mark she’d have to hide under concealer tomorrow. Then his mouth was on her, rough and hungry and perfect, two fingers sliding inside like they belonged there. She came fast, fingers tangled in his hair, biting her own wrist to stay quiet so the Bangladeshi neighbours wouldn’t hear. When he stood, he didn’t bother with the rest of his clothes. Just freed himself, rolled on protection with shaking hands, and pushed into her while she was still pulsing. The table creaked under them. Gold bangles on her wrist clinked with every thrust. “Say it,” he growled in Punjabi, forehead against hers, hips snapping hard. “Sirf tera,” she gasped. Only yours. He kissed her to swallow the lie, fucked her harder to make it true for the next thirty minutes, and when he came he buried his face in her neck like a drowning man. After, they lay on the cool marble floor, sharing a bottle of cold Rooh Afza, city sounds drifting up from the creek below: dhow horns, Hindi music, the call for Fajr still hours away. He traced the faint diamond-shaped bruise on her collarbone: someone else’s teeth mark. “Next time come straight here,” he said quietly. She kissed the inside of his wrist. “Next time I’ll try.” They both knew she wouldn’t. In Deira, love is cheap and gold is heavy, and girls like Zara only get one or the other. Tonight she took both, and tomorrow she’d fly first-class back to the man who paid in diamonds instead of promises. But right now, Armaan’s heartbeat under her cheek was enough. For one sweaty, secret hour in a cramped apartment above the souk, it was everything.

There are people in here, tourists, though of a superior kind. They pass through the rooms quietly, in groups. They are mostly of late middle-age, and well turned-out: there are no giant khaki shorts and tennis socks here, no baseball caps or long lenses. These people have expensive jewellery and leather handbags and polished shoes. They stand in front of one painting after another while their guide lectures them in dispassionate global English. They like to be lectured, it is clear. Their bright eyes pay attention; their lipsticked mouths do not move. They have a look of health about them, as though they were receiving some rigorous but beneficent cure. They are art lovers: it is culture that is purifying their blood and keeping their spines so straight.
