The beautiful 26 year old Ivanka Trump graces the cover of Page Six this week.   In addition to being vice president of real estate development and acquisitions for her father’s empire, Donald Trump’s daughter, also has her own jewelery line.  The line, Ivanka Trump Collection commenced in September 2007 and is sold at her marquee store on, where else, Madison Avenue.

The reserve she carries herself with, is unlike that of her parents.  Of them, she says:

“My parents are exactly who you think,” Ivanka says with a smile. “They’re very straightforward. They are highly blunt. They say exactly what they’re thinking. In terms of their public image versus the reality at home, I don’t think there is that much of a divide.

Her parents’ 1992 divorce, and public scrutiny made her weary of being in the spotlight:

“It’s very rarely that I open Us Weekly and see myself in it. And that’s the way I like it,”

Although she admits that being on The Apprentice has changed that a bit:

“I used to have a veil of anonymity while I was walking around,”

She speaks about the fame associated with being a Trump.  Not in the celebrity sense, but in the business sense:

“I’m very proud to be a Trump. I work as hard as I do because I feel like I can add to that,” she says. “But one of the advantages of having grown up in public is that I knew what I was signing up for. I do know the negatives of that kind of life.”

When asked about the prospect of marriage or an engagement she said:

“I’m not looking to get married now,” she says. “I have a lot on my plate. I would love to have children but I am certainly in no rush.” Fair enough, but are there diamonds—as in engagement rings—in her future? “Yes,” Ivanka says, “I’m sure there are diamonds.”

She obviously has a very different upbringing than the average person what with a privileged childhood and education, but when you hear and see her speak, she has maturity greatly beyond her years.  I don’t think 26 year old.  To put it into perspective:  Paris Hilton is the same age as her (give or take a few months).

Oh, and if you’re interested, the jewellery she is wearing in the picture is from her collection.  The necklace:  $145,000.  The Bracelet:  $195,000.

Christmas is coming
