Put a Ring On It
Lately it's been all about Single Ladies. No, not the Friday night crowd at Luz de Gas but whether Bouncy Knowles stole Bob Fosse's Mexican Breakfast choreography for her video, and whether it was the YouTube wanna-be or Justin who did the better imitation.
The real scene stealer, however, was the titanium glove that was featured in the video and in live performances. Made by jeweller Lorraine Schwartz, it fuelled a (Sasha) fierce discussion about what jewellery should look like.
While most would opt for B's 18 carat diamond wedding ring, there's ample opportunity to check out what else sparkles at this Saturday's Joyas à la Carte: Two floors in Hotel 1898's colonial settings, one for jewellery art gallery/shop Klimt02, another for a slew of renowned local and international bling makers.
Our favourite creations are the edible ones from patissier Christian Escribà like his Candy Glam Rings. Just go easy on this part of the menu or you'll soon be emulating Ms Knowles in the booty department. Time to step away from the buffet, lady.
