Chocolate Gems There is great potential for disappointment for the hopeful, young Japanese singleton who receives one of Bulgari's tiny, square black boxes as a gift from her boyfriend. Expecting a solitaire ring, she might just find an exquisite piece of handmade chocolate?delectably filled with Sorrento lemon, Sicilian orange or pistachio?from the Italian jeweler's newly installed chocolate shop in the brand's lifestyle store in Tokyo's Omotesando. That has not kept chocoholics from flocking to the first-floor outpost, which is reportedly selling 700 to 800 pieces a day, for a taste of master chocolatier...
Roses are blooming this spring on everything from sandals and hair accessories to delicately encrusted pavé pieces. Pink sapphires, diamonds and tourmalines adorn Leiber's one-of-a-kind clutch while Dior's bud ring blossoms on the hand.

(Spitzer appears to have used both methods to pay for prostitutes.) Investigators are particularly watchful when a public official is behind such transactions - something Spitzer also would have known. During a lunch with TIME staffers...
...Spitzer's rather poetic sentence seemed apt on March 12, as he resigned as governor of New York in a brief press conference, the culmination of a 48-hour melodrama sparked by revelations that he had been a client of a prostitution ring. Thus ended a public career that had once seemed promising enough that Spitzer was discussed as a potential 2012 Democratic presidential nominee. Spitzer apologized for his "private failings," but he said nothing to explain why he would have thrown it all away, why he risked so much. He had built a reputation as an ethical crusader...
