The jewellery of Moulin Rouge

As a fan of jewellery and of the film Moulin Rouge, it's pretty hard to not notice the jewellery in the movie. It's everywhere; most noticeably on Nicole Kidman's character Satine, but I spot a new piece every time I watch it.

Layers and layers of necklaces, filigree headpieces, dazzling jewels and of course, the spectacular Satine necklace, created by Australian designer Stephano Canturi.  It features 1308 diamonds and is valued at AU$4 million.

Ah beautiful, shiny things.  *Happy sigh* :o)

Bollywood

Is there anything not fabulous about Bollywood jewellery?  It has everything you could possibly want: colour, glitz, dangles, layers, matching sets, enamel... jewels as far as the eye can see.  

Let us not be too particular. It is better to have old second-hand diamonds than none at all.
