Martha Stewart Wedding - Diamond cover

[Maya Moonstone]

Hi

Has anybody seen the cover of the Martha Stewart Wedding Winter 2006 issue? It does not have a bride on, or flowers, cake etc...but DIAMOND RINGS! All (or most ) of the different cuts are on the cover - even a cushion (my favourite) and an OEC if I am not mistaken.

If you are in a Safeway in Seattle - don't buy the MSW magazine that is slightly damp - it is drool

I saw it today just as i was paying for my target stuff. I will definitely be picking one up on my next trip, which will probably be tomorrow because I love Target so much..lol..

 

[Kaleigh]

oh my everlovin'' lord that is stunning!!

I saw a shot of it on the Martha Stewart Apprentice...they were flashing through to the various magazined and publishing at the end of the show when they were talking about her ''empire'' and I saw that cover and was like WHERE IS THAT MAGAZINE?? I NEVER SAW IT!!!!! So when I saw this post I thought A-HA!

I SO have to get a copy !!

 

[KittenKat]

Are those blue diamonds?!?! And in my favorite shapes!

Hopefully it''s not just my monitor settings turning a few of the rings blue.

Yummy.

Hi

The diamonds on the cover from top right to left corner are:
1) Emerald cut by DeBeers
2) Radiant with heart shaped side stones by Harry Winston
3) Assher by Daniel K
4) Oval by Tiffany
5) Heart-shape by Tiffany
6) Princess by DeBeers
7) Round cut by Tiffany
Blue emerald cut with tapered baguette side stones by Graff
9) Cushion cut by Fred Leighton
10) Cluster setting with blue emerald cut center by DeBeers
11) Marquise by Tiffany
12) Vintage cluster setting by James Robinson
13) Trio of emerald cut stones by Michael C Fina
14) Pear cut by Asprey
15) Blue oval cut with oval cut side stones by Tiffany
16) Vintage ring from Stephen Russel
17) Cushion cut by DeBeers

And of course: "The cover is not as pretty scanned as in real life"

And I bet the diamonds are much better looking in real life than on the cover too.

i''ve got to say there are some i don''t like at all....but there are others that i think are to die for!

That is such an awesome cover! I have to say she is a little daring to go with diamond rings, when every other wedding mag out there uses models most of the time! That''s our Martha! Ever since I bought her K-Mart towels for college 7 years ago I have loved her! I still have those towels to this day--quality, and whatever the rest of her motto is--I think that the apprentice she chose this week suits the company perfectly, and wish her much success. And I have to say that I think Bethany just didn''t fit in!

I can''t see Martha dealing with someone who was more drama than she is!

 

[bling*diva*]

~~WOW!!! MUST...PICK (drool)...UP...A(more drool)...COPY...NOW!!!

 

[MelissaSue]

I bought it last night and I was just about to come over here and post about it. The cover is AWESOME. Most of the same rings are on the inside. but there are lots of others too.. and it seems like a LOT of great ads for diamonds too.. Michael C Fina has a great ad with tons of different designers.. YUMMY. Its a total eye candy issue!

 

[Lorelei]

This is SO NOT FAIR

I won''t be able to get a copy of that to slobber over here in Blighty

 

[ChargerGrrl]

I just bought it!

My FI made fun of me, ''cause just yesterday I swore that I wasn''t going to buy another bridal magazine. I''ve bought about 4 since I got engaged 3 weeks ago, and I''ve been disappointed with almost all of them (the InStyle was the best of the lot). What a complete waste of my $$!

Anyway, I saw the Martha mag at the store today and just had to buy it. It''s not only DIAMONDS, but it''s also MARTHA!

 

[valeria101]

Lots of rings.... Ok. nice

So, wWhere''s the poll?

 

[mrssalvo]

Hubby was totally making fun of me b/c I bought one too while shopping today

.

It took a while to get to the diamond article but I thought it did a good job of explaining the different shapes etc. Loved some of the jewelery adds too

.

 

[mrssalvo]

ok, for those who have the magazine...

I was just sitting here looking at the spread on wedding bands. It has a picture of stacks of different diamond bands made by all different designers it''s on page 315. Anyway, I was looking up close and noticed the Rina Limor band #25. The miligran is uneven and the workmanship is awful. Did any of you notice this or is it just me?

 

[Maya Moonstone]

Yip, Mrssalvo! Spoken like a true Pricescoper

The milgrain is uneven!

You made me take a closer look at te rings on the page...Look at Number 23 as well, maybe it is an illusion, but it seems as if the diamonds in the gypsy set band from Reinstein Ross are set uneven!

Happy Holidays!

I just found this thread after it was linked to another....I bought the mag a few days ago and I have to tell you....as soon as I saw the ring I had the same reaction as you. I even checked twice at who the designer was...because the milgraining was HORRIBLE. It was too bad, cuz I liked several of her rings...but letting that out...and to be photographed no less...what a sin against jewelry!

 

[kaylagee]

how cool! must get a copy!

 

[AmberWaves]

My boyfriend got so gripy at me when he saw I bought it- as a lot of you know, not engaged yet, but I''m still buying the mags... anyway, the only way he left the issue alone was when I agreed to let him Tivo the Rose Bowl game- AND I had to make him some cheese sauce for his nachos. What I do for diamonds. *sigh*. Also- I agree, some of those rings were slightly mangled. And I didn''t see many of the PS vendors. Did I see any? I mean, come on. Tiffany and Cartier are gorgeous, but there are other brands out there.

I loved the magazine, though!!

 

[blueroses]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!! I have been in the boondocks for the holidays and I must IMMEDIATELY get me thence to the store to BUY that sucker!! I needs it! I gots to have it! Like, NOW!!! Bye

 

[ello]

same here - it''s going to be a little gift FROM: ME, TO: ME!

 

[sluke]

Is this still available? I''d checked Barnes & Noble and they didn''t have it?

 

[FireGoddess]

It just came out - it should be available for weeks. It only got to my local grocery store last week.
