Brad Pitt Flashes Wedding Band?

brad pitt wedding band

New photos have surfaced of Brad Pitt wearing what seems to be a classic style wedding band. Cameras caught a glimpse of the sparkler on two recent occasions. The first was over the weekend when the A-list actor was out shopping with daughter Zahara for her birthday at The Grove in Hollywood, California. He was smiling and seemed to be in high spirits.  The second was yesterday on the set of his new film Moneyball.

Not too long ago, Brangelina gave actress Mindy Cohn, the godmother of two of their children, a huge 4-5 carat solitaire diamond ring as a thank you gift.  In an October 2006 interview with Esquire Magazine, Pitt said that he and Jolie would marry when everyone in America is legally able to marry (voicing their support for gay marriage).  So what are your thoughts on the ring?  Did they secretly tie the knot?  Is it merely symbolic?  Or simply just decorative?

Joanna Garcia Flaunts Giant Engagement Ring on Jimmy Kimmel Live

joanna-garcia-diamond-engagement-ring

Gossip Girl actress Joanna Garcia flaunted her eye-popping emerald cut diamond engagement ring from New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher when she paid a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this week. Upon seeing the enormous sparkler, Kimmel jokingly blurted “That’s the biggest ring I’ve ever seen on a non-queen.”

The red-headed Cuban beauty shared some details on the show about their relationship such as where their first date took place, the fact she watches all of his games whether he plays or not, and how she and the other Yankee wives get along really well. Their relationship went public in September 2009 when Nick Swisher announced it during an interview with Sports Illustrated. The 30-year old actress is planning to walk down the aisle with the Yankees star after baseball season is finished.

Garcia’s new TV project, a comedic sitcom called Better with You, premieres next Wednesday, September 22 at 8:30PM on ABC.

2010 MTV Video Music Awards Jewelry Highlights

audrina-patridge-vmas-jewelry

Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles continued the bold jewelry trends we saw at the Primetime Emmy Awards – statement earrings paired well with right hand rings and stacked bangle bracelets. Dark metals such as black rhodium and blackened platinum encrusted in black diamonds were a prominent theme in jewelry. Some of our favorite on-trend fashionistas who rocked the event sported fresh and edgy blackened metal earrings with bracelets or right hand rings encrusted in yellow diamonds, black diamonds, smokey topaz or blue hued stones.

MTV reality series The Hills stars Audrina Patridge, Lo Bosworth and Stephanie Pratt all glittered on the VMAs white carpet. Patridge accessorized a shimmering silver dress with stacked diamond bracelets and diamond bangles on both wrists and Bosworth glammed up her California luxe look with a pair of diamond and yellow gold dangle earrings. Going for understated elegance, Stephanie Pratt wore a pair diamond studs, bangles and stackable rings by none other than Le Vian. Singer Taylor swift (who was on the receiving end of Kanye West’s antics at last year’s event) followed suit with fine pair of Le Vian earrings.

Although the New York Times described Chelsea Handler as being one of the “worst hosts in the show’s history”, the comedian did not disappoint in the fashion and accessories department. The jewelry pieces she wore throughout the event consisted of a black diamond and platinum cuff bracelet with a set of platinum diamond white and black dangle earrings, and a white, black and yellow diamond right hand ring.

She also wore diamond, gold and coral bracelets and bangles. Katy Perry and Twilight actress Ashley Greene also rocked in black. Perry paired her eyebrow-raising ensemble with a black diamond and blackened sterling silver right hand ring encrusted with black pave diamonds and a set of rose cut diamond earrings. Meanwhile, Greene adorned herself in an exquisite set of platinum black diamond earrings and a platinum black diamond and black sapphire bracelet.

Another highlight at the event was Selena Gomez who stood out in cool blue hues wearing short drop crystal earrings and a matching bold right hand ring. Sofia Vergara whom we loved at the Emmy’s also shimmered at the VMAs in a blackened diamond platinum cuff bracelet and diamond platinum earrings, both featuring white and black stones, paired with a platinum diamond ring all totaling over 500 carats.

Christopher Designs Unveils New Crisscut Round Diamond

christopher-designs-engagement-rings

Christopher Slowinski of Christopher Designs presents one of his brand new super brilliant patented Crisscut Round diamond creations in this video below recently at Las Vegas. A brand new design that just hit the market, this gorgeous 125 faceted stone features 98% scintillation which is very unusual for this type of diamond says the designer. Seeing a problem for various cuts of round diamonds under very low light conditions, the New York bridal jewelry designer’s goal was to create a new type of diamond that would allow maximum light reflection under any type of lighting. Sizes of stones cut range all the way up to 5 carats and will soon be available in other shapes such as oval and cushion.
