Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt proposed Angelina Jolie with an eccentric 16- carat diamond engagement ring. The center customized emerald-cut diamond is a whopping 7-carat rock which is flanked by tailor-cut diamonds of total 9 carat. The ring was designed to emit the pulses of energy so that Jolie would always feel protected and powered by the presence of the bling. The celestial sparkle was estimated around $500,000.

Halle Berry

The next worth mentioning bauble in our A-list belongs to another Oscar winner Halle Berry. The James bond girl had engaged to beau Olivier Martinez who proposed Berry with a +4 carat antique engagement ring. The ring was designed on the basis of an age old “Alchemy Test” and designer Robert Mazlo incorporated few symbols in an archaic language into this yellow gold ring. The ring received a lot of praise as it was a very different yet traditional bling.

Beyonce Knowles

Jay-Z is known for his larger than life style and when he proposed Beyonce with an 18 carat diamond bling, the world witnessed his spectacular vision. The engagement rock was a giant 18 carats emerald cut diamond set on a split platinum diamond encrusted shank. This $500000 bling was the creation of Loraine Schwartz.

Jacqueline Kennedy

When Jackie received a 5.72 carat emerald and diamond ring, colored engagement rings were rare in fashion but her exquisite bauble attracted a lot of paparazzi for being so unique and elite. In 1962 the ring was upgraded and accent diamonds of around 2.12 carats were further added to this 2.84 carat emerald ring of $1.5 million.

Jessica Simpson

The new mom of a cute daughter received a gorgeous and unique ruby engagement ring from beau Eric Johnson in year 2010. Jessica’s 4-carat ruby7 oval in the center of the ring re-introduced the glamour of Victorian fashion. The ring also embellished trillion diamonds in a yellow gold setting. This classic yet contemporary creation from celebrity bridal jewelry designer Neil Lane estimated a whopping $1 million.

Elizabeth Hurley

Shane Warne proposed his lovely model-turned-actress girlfriend Liz Hurley with an astonishing, classic and extremely beautiful sapphire engagement ring. The ring cost a whopping $30000 and it showed off a vibrant square cut blue sapphire in center, flanked by 2 trillion diamonds on sides.

Colors are the thing for this beautiful singer. So she has been spotted wearing colored rings on different occasions like a yellow diamond ring or a diamond and emerald ring besides her enormous 18-ct diamond engagement ring. Her latest bling was the huge emerald cut sapphire ring that is said to be her push gift for giving birth to her first child baby Blue Ivy on January 7.

It is noteworthy that Beyonce has a special liking for the emerald cut as most of her rings have the centre stone with an emerald cut. One major reason why people opt for this cut is that it makes the stone look bigger but not every stone can be cut in emerald cut as the stone has to be of high quality to be cut in the emerald cut as the flaws in the stone are more visible in this cut.

Interestingly in an Interview the singer said that it’s inner beauty that she values most and she hopes her daughter, Blue Ivy, will feel the same way. According to Beyonce the biggest thing she is going to teach [Blue] is not to focus on the aesthetic. She said that it’s really about what one is as a human being that makes one beautiful. On the other hand Hubby Jay-Z seems to be bit worried that their daughter will turn into a little diva. But as the baby is called blue and has such talented parents so she will definitely sparkle like the blue sapphires that are prized highly for their beauty as well as rarity.

We have to thank her father Larry Birkhead for making sure that this little girl who endured such tragedy around her during her first days on this planet, has a normal life. Isn’t it strange that Birkhead was forced to establish paternity in a suit against Smith’s then partner and lawyer Howard K. Stern. But all is well that ends well as he seems to have done a good parenting job.

She isn’t seen in the public eye aside from the annual father-daughter pilgrimage to the Kentucky race and this time around she looked amazing in an outfit paying homage to her mother’s home state of Texas. Her headband featured the yellow rose, which is the emblem of the state.

If you want to love floral prints and designs then you can pair it with gemstone jewelry that compliments these bright and lively colors. Citrine gemstone is yellow in color and can really make a wonderful jewelry for summer dressing.

Worried how the things will be done in just two days? And how would you get her a present? Relax. Even I was thinking this for a couple of hours and then while browsing the internet I landed on a jewelry shopping website named Angara.com and there I got the perfect gift for Mother’s Day. One of the sections of the web store was dedicated to mother’s jewelry where they were selling birthstone jewelry.

So the idea for a perfect Mother’s Day gift is – wrap a birthstone ring or a pair of earrings or a pendant (choice is yours) and place it in your gift basket with a sweet teddy, some chocolates and a loving message. It’s done!

I know your question is Why birthstone jewelry? Even I was thinking why and then I read an article about birthstones on the same web store’s education section. http://www.angara.com/jewelry-guide/about-birthstones.html is the link of the article if in case you want to know more. What I got from it is that birthstones are gemstones associated with each month of the year and they are said to possess some mystical powers which in many ways help and heal the wearer.

Gifting birthstone jewelry especially rings and pendants is said to be very auspicious. It not only protect the wearer from any harm but also bring both wearer and the giver more closer as it sets a path of energy between the two.

As a mother’s day gift, such jewelry gives mommy a feeling of being special and she also feels closer to her family. Also the jewelry acts as a bond between the members of the family.

That’s the spiritual side of birthstone jewelry, let’s turn the table and talk some fashion. Colored gemstone jewelry is the hot trend for spring. It lends an ice and fire effect to the looks and matches rightly with everything in the wardrobe.

I have ordered my piece of gift for the occasion and would advise you to do it as early as possible. After all it’s about the sentiments you have for her and nothing except birthstone jewelry would explain it in the way you want.

Thanks to the modern techniques, people could pick a replica of these imperial beauties and get a feel of excellence and excitement.

Now in April on 24th they announced the arrival of their daughter whom they named a real gem ‘Pearl’. She is a healthy 8lb 6oz child.

It is a proud moment for Jack who became father for the first time and is probably ready to take his responsibilities seriously. In his early tweet saying that he built a stroller, fitted a car seat and went to home depot to get some house stuff, he cleared that his life has changed.

Of course a baby in many ways brings many remarkable changes to the life of parents. As Lisa is the one who should be thanked to bring Pearl into the world, Jack should gift her something which is exceptional and remarkable. He should give her a push gift. How about a birthstone ring? a ring studded with a citrine, a diamond and an aquamarine representing Jack, baby Pearl and Lisa.

President Obama is doing everything to strengthen his bid for a second term to the office. So, on Tuesday night he appeared on NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and slow-jammed the news with the host. The “Preezy of the United Steezy” (as the host called him) was asked about everything from the trivial to the serious and the cool guy answered them all. Obama had his share of problems and successes in his first term in the office. It is said that wearing birthstone brings luck, so, we suggest the President should try some peridot jewelry for his second run to the office this fall.

Let’s get back to the news, though this slow jam certainly proved that President is cooler than Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney. But detractors say that there is a political complexity of going ahead with cool image for President Obama. Especially when he is making his bid for a second term and this coolness can be used against him by his opponents. Many a Republicans will dub him as a President who is just style with no substance or a person who is unable to deliver.

All of us have an image and sometimes changing this image becomes a biggest challenge. There are some gemstones that help us with the change, Fire Opals are said to support during times of change. Ruby is another stone that nurtures positive change in one’s life. So, if you want to change something in your life go for these gemstones that may help you in bringing about the desired change.

Please share your views do you think President Obama should go ahead with this cool image or he should change it.

Everyone shares a lot with their mothers, like Lourdes who is a stunning brunette teen, has almost the same eyes, lashes and full lips as Madonna, Have a look at this old black and white photo from 1979 of Madonna, when she was 21. The same smile and gorgeous eyes aren’t the only things Lourdes shares with her superstar mom, now 53. They also swap clothes!

Recently at an event Madonna said that she lives in her daughter’s Converse sneakers while Lourdes always wears her combat boots. So, some intriguing media interviewer asked her if she would like Lola to gift her with her own pair of Chuck Taylors for Mother’s Day, to which Madge answered that no as she borrows hers. If you also share a close bond with your mother then get special mother jewelry for her now. It is always better to plan ahead of time to avoid last minute confusions.

All the fan of this series will agree that Mad Men is an interesting sitcom that shows the civil-rights strife as well as relationships that are both entertaining while being profoundly-troubling. We can all say one thing for sure that, there are innumerable moments in "Mad Men" that makes this show created by Matthew Weiner one of the finest show on TV.

To start with we have Don Draper marrying seductive secretary Megan Calvet instead of an appropriately aged girlfriend, Dr. Faye Miller. So, this season of Mad Men has us, wondering would it last. Could it last? To start with they’re (Don Draper & Megan Calvet) now married and living together. Though, we are getting hints that obviously, not so happily.

As for poor Faye, she was smart and sexy and Don’s intellectual equal but for now Faye is totally out of the scene as far as Don’s life is concerned. But we all have a feeling that soon she could come creeping back into the picture. Though, some people are of the view that Faye is too self-possessed to try to woo Draper again. But on "Mad Men" there has been hardly a woman who has been able to resist the charms of Don Draper?

As Draper Turns 40, he has a birthday party at his Manhattan loft thrown by his secretary-turned-wife during which she saucily sings a French love song to Don and his friends. But most of us are wondering what happened to Bert Cooper? Interestingly, he was told by Don that he will no longer produce ads for tobacco companies but it turns out that he is still here though with not much at all to do. As for Sterling Cooper, thanks to the hard work of account exec Pete Campbell, it is moving on. But if the premier is any indication it seems that the firm’s finances are going to play a significant role this season.

So, we have office manager Joan having her baby and British finance whiz Lane having a miserable marriage, Sally Draper on the other hand becoming very sober for a change. So, the new season here and after a break of over 500 days and it seems to be just as interesting as the previous four seasons.

All of us who just love talking about gemstone jewelry, remember Kardashian for her sparkling emerald jewelry. The first picture that comes to our mind when we think of her is those valuable emeralds and diamonds that are worth more than $4 millions by Lorraine Schwartz. This exuberant collection that paled Angelina Jolie’s emerald earrings includes an 18-carat blackened gold necklace. There are 120 carats of diamonds along with 70-carat emerald-and-diamond earrings and 150 carats of emeralds.

As for the incident the immediate reaction was panic, considering Kim and the others around there were not sure what exactly was thrown on her. The powder was sent for testing and was found to be harmless baking flour.

Though the motive behind the incident is being investigated but it has been reported that the attacker yelled, "fur hag”. So PETA seems to be the most obvious suspect in the Kim Kardashian flour bomb attack. However the organization is adamant that it is NOT behind the red carpet stunt but it is VERY SUPPORTIVE of the attacker. Though when the attacker was arrested, Kim decided to not press charges.

But this Kim’s incident has suddenly highlighted the issue celebs put in danger at public events. Recently Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was also attacked at a public gathering by a "glitter bomb." Please let us know what do you think about this incident? Should there be more security?
