Diamond Studs Giveaway with Basel Gems

Hi Lovelies!!

To celebrate the approach of the start of the festive season and the holidays, I have partnered with the newly opened jewellery boutique, Basel Gems. With their origins dating back to 1984, Basel Gems have grown into a high end jewellery store which has been trading in Tanzania (the only place where the Tanzanite stone can be mined) since 1998. Their in-house designer, R Nanda, and one of the family members who manage and operate this family run business has designed bespoke pieces for the African elite & celebrities including the Obama family. They have recently opened a store in Cape Town (based in the Icon building) and have brought their designs to our sunny shores. Since they obtain their stones from the source, their prices are exceptionally reasonable. All pieces are manufactured using 18k gold, diamonds, tanzanite and other semi precious stones. 

'Basel Gems is a unique jewellery boutique which is located in the heart of the mother city and is in the only store in Cape Town to be associated with Tanzanian Chamber of Minerals & Energy. Ensuring our certified Tanzanite gemstones are ethically sourced and of utmost quality.'

In addition, if you use my code ‘RUBESCLOSET’ you will qualify for 30% off all pieces in their showroom. So if you're thinking of gift buying for someone special, head over to their boutique!

We are giving away a stunning set of 18k white gold diamond studs, with diamond weight of 0.32ct valued at R13,800 with valuation certificate. Every woman needs a pair of elegant diamond studs, don't you agree?

NOMINATION GIVEAWAY!!!

Welcome lovely readers!

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED!!

And the long awaited Nomination giveaway is finally here!

A Nomination bracelet makes the perfect gift, one can create many different themes based on the occasion. It's great to buy for that person who 'has everything'. As I mentioned previously, I am a soppy sentimentalist, and I love little pieces which have a special memory or significance attached to it. I have jewellery which dates back 22+ years and every time I look at it, it reminds of a special memory. Nomination offers this in one bracelet, where one can add links as years, or months pass by, to mark certain milestones, or to celebrate achievements or events.

I have the traditional stainless steel Nomination bracelet, which I have had for a while, and when I decided to do the giveaway, I browsed the Nomination site... And came across the rose gold bracelet! Naturally I was blown away and fell in love with their rose gold links. They have also launched a special bracelet with a "Bella La Vita" engraved link to celebrate 30 years in the business. From Paolo Gensini's favourite exclamation which means "How beautiful life is!".

I was immediately taken with this quote and grabbed the rose gold version of this bracelet, customised with a few rose gold links. :-D

I grabbed the rose gold version, customised with some of my favourite rose gold links, each one
with a special significance

To celebrate the beauty of life, and officially mark the holiday season on the blog, I am giving away one bracelet, customised with a few links to the value of R5,000!

To enter: 

1. Like my Facebook page here
2. Comment on the Facebook competition post telling me what your favourite December holiday memory is.
3. Share the post on Facebook and tag RuBe's Closet on the share (please make the post public so I can see it).
4. Competition is open to South African residents only.
5. Giveaway ends 13 December at 12pm.

Good Luck Darlings!

Nomination bracelets come in the most pretty packaging, ready as a thoughtful gift!

Thomas Sabo Dreamcatcher GIVEAWAY!

Hello beauties!!

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED

About two weeks ago I alluded to a THOMAS SABO giveaway, and I'm sure my readers have been waiting with bated breath!! Well here it is! 😃

When they released their new collections, I was particularly taken with the Thomas Sabo amulets, specifically the dreamcatcher pendant, which is often worn as symbol of protection and, according to Native Americans,  also believed to have healing powers. Turquoise was sacred in its adornment and for power, luck, and protection and was mined and used extensively in ancient Egypt and Iran. These pieces are crafted in blackened sterling silver, with  cubic zirconia, turquoise and jasper beads.

This hand crafted necklace and elegant studs are easy to wear and the beads are on totally on trend!

"Artistic necklace design meets ethnic spirit: The magical cut-out pendant captivates on the handcrafted Beads necklace by virtue of its sophisticated design and workmanship, as well as classic sparkling stone embellishment."

"Filigree look: The ear studs with vintage charm impress by virtue of delicate details and can be combined in both sporty and elegant ways."

I am giving away a Dreamcatcher necklace and a pair of ethno turquoise sterling silver earrings, to the value of R5,000!

Nomination Composable Collection

Hi lovelies!

The Festive Season is racing towards us and it's a time when stores are bedecked with glittery decorations, and the choice for gifts are endless. In fact, there is so much variety one can easily become overwhelmed. A nomination bracelet is a thoughtful and beautiful gift idea, and one which you can build upon to celebrate many treasured moments.

I love my own Nomination bracelet, as it is an ode to memories I'd like to keep dear and close, and just a glance at the bracelet, or a specific link will bring back those special moments. They have specific themes to honour milestones or occasions; these range from love, travel, Mother's Day, new baby arrivals etc. The Composable Collection links and symbols are crafted in 18ct gold, sterling silver and 9ct rose gold and is constantly evolving with new links being added each season.

  To celebrate the new Nomination collection, I will be giving away one bracelet with some charms to the value of R5,000! Keep a close eye on my pages for this. Just in time for the holidays ♥️

"Nomination celebrates life with its new composable collection.

Nomination's new collection of Composable links is called Life, because each link reflects an important moment in your life. Birthdays, weddings, graduations, christenings, a new baby or an important anniversary, there are so many milestones to celebrate and what better way to remember and relive those special moments than with a precious jewel you can wear every day."

"Choose from thousands of precious links decorated with handcrafted letters and symbols in 18ct gold, sterling silver, 9ct rose gold with cubic zirconia, coloured enamel and precious and semi-precious stones. The result is jewellery which tells a personal story, and a bracelet that is precious and unique.

Made in Italy at the Nomination atelier studios near the Renaissance city of Florence, Composable links are made from the highest quality stainless steel to ensure your bracelet is hypoallergenic, will not tarnish and is strong enough to be worn everyday."

GIVEAWAY!!! Hollywood Oxygen Facial

Hi Beauties, 

With party and event season approaching, and the end of year stress getting to us, it's a good time to indulge in a pampering revitalising facial. The Hollywood Oxygen facial, which I have experienced and can attest to, is offered by Biodermal Aesthetics Clinic. Read my post here.
This particular treatment is very popular with celebrities, and is used specifically for pre-event skincare treatment, as it plumps, rejuvenates and improves the skins texture and elasticity in one treatment.

Celebrities such as Madonna, Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham and Jessica Biel have professed to enjoying these facials to give their skin a boost, especially during event and red carpet season, and have even invested in their own oxygen machines.
So if you're a bride and haven't the time to book a series of facials, or have a big party, award event or year end function, give the Hollywood Oxygen Facial a try.

The machine delivers bursts of oxygen to the skin via a jet, which is done at varying pressures depending on your skin condition. The high pressure infuses product, specifically accelerates and hydrates into the skin ensuring that it dos not just coat the skin, but instead is fully absorbed.
A mask is also applied with the oxygen dome over it to ensure maximum absorption of the mask. This non-invasive treatment is safe for all skin types, dehydrated, sensitive and acne prone skin.

Biodermal says:

"The bt-Accent AIR system revitalizes the skin by inducing break through , age defying skin care products containing powerful and scientifically proven ingredients to target signs of ageing , fine lines and wrinkles . It works by purifying the air removing nitrogen and other potentially harmful elements . The purified air is then used to apply revolutionary skin care products to problematic areas . Complete with three unique accessories

bt-Accent Air benefits

• > Complete product penetration 
• > Addresses expression ageing
• > Firms and improves skin's suppleness
• > Hydrates and revitalizes skin 
• > Improves circulation
• > Reduces acne
• > plumps sunken and deflated skin

The method of delivery used in order to pump oxygen into the skin is gentle , which makes treatment a viable option for those with sensitive skin and who have difficulties with injections or other harsh treatments to get rid of wrinkles ."

 To celebrate party season, we are giving away a Hollywood Oxygen Facial, valued at R620 to one lucky lady or gent, hopefully to be redeemed for a special occasion. 

All you have to do:

1. Like the Biodermal Facebook page
2. Follow the Biodermal Aesthetics Clinic Instagram page
3. Like RuBe's Closet Facebook page
4. Comment on the post on either the Biodermal Facebook or Instagram post of the below image, and tell us what your idea of inner beauty is.
