Sparkle Like The Stars

Britney finally pulled herself off the bathroom floor long enough to actually look somewhat put together. Her she’s running back from the beach in her bikini but it’s all covered (how novel!) by a nice turquoise top. Her matching earrings pull it together. I think that the chandelier earrings are a little too much for her summery blouse, but what do I know?! I’ve just been writing a jewelry blog for years and follow all the trends better than Lindsay Lohan sniffs out coke at a club.

The necklace is off though. I don’t like the way it get caught up in the neckline of Britney’s shirt. You’ve gotta know when to stop.

A different choice would have been these turquoise and 1/10 carat diamond earrings in 14K white gold. In these stunning floral earrings, petals of polished turquoise are beautifully enhanced by diamonds in exquisitely crafted white gold settings. It’s a lighter look than the chandelier earrings that Britney’s wearing and more appropriate for the beach.

According to reports, Lindsay Lohan is back in rehab again after her early morning run-in with a curb and bush in LA. The story continues:

Lohan “admitted herself to an intensive medical rehabilitation facility” on Monday, according to a statement released by her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick. The statement added, “Because this is a medical matter, it is our hope that the press will appreciate the seriousness of the situation and respect the privacy of Lindsay as well as the other patients receiving treatment at the facility.”

Yeah. Right!

Well, even in rehab you can still look your best. I just hate it when stars run out of the house for milk and eggs and look like normal people. Where are our heroes today?!?! Put in some earrings for goodness sake!

These 1/2 carat diamond stud earrings in platinum 3 prong settings are the perfect everyday earrings. They are large enough to be noticed and add needed sparkle to any outfit but they’re not tacky. At only $895, they’re a bargain for their size and quality! Two high-quality diamonds (G/H color and I1 - I2 clarity) are simply set in three prongs of dazzling platinum. It’s a classy look that will take you from yoga class to a night out on the town!

The Rahulio maybe he is speaking out of turn, but he thinks that if you are being named after a variety of the liquor, when you are getting into the car accidents, maybe it is best not to be going to the court because of it! It is being, how you say, unseeming. “And what is being the defendant’s name? Cuba Libre?”

But this is exactly what the Brandy has been doing.

The Rahulio he really wants to know what has happened to the Brandy. There was the Moesha, which the Rahulio did not watch because (maybe you are surprised) the Rahulio is not a 12 year old girl of the African-American persuadings, and there were a few of the pops hits here and over there, but that is being it! The Christina Aguilera is still on the radio after almost ten of the years, and the Britney is still making all the headsline, but the Brandy she only has warrants for the articles about the car crashes! This is tragic! The Brandy needs to be having more exposings!

And of course, because the Rahulio is the Rahulio, he is thinking maybe the Brandy should be wearing some nice and loud sparklies! Please to be looking at this picture! She is not wearing even a drop of the diamonds! Not a glinting of the gold! WHY, the Rahulio is screaming at the heavens??? Please, Brandy, at least be making dressing to your beautiful ears with the 1/2 Carat Diamond 14K Yellow Gold Inside Outside Hinged Hoop Earrings! If you are winning your court cases, you will be able to be affording them!

The Rahulio is beginning to have thoughts that the partyings with the Paris Hilton is like the partyings with the Faustus - maybe it is being fun, and maybe you are drinking much of the Midori Sours and kissing many of the boys, but eventually the Devil is coming to be claiming his prize. And maybe you are getting caught on his pointy fork, because the Paris is certainly knowing how to avoid it! Recently the Mischa Barton partied with the Paris and the Nicole Richie and she went to the emergency room for mixing prescription medicine with her cocktails!

This is being so so not smart. The Rahulio he is not a doctor, at least not of medicines, but even he is knowing that you are not to be swallowing a few of the Valiums and than a few of the White Russians. But Mischa is maybe also not being so so smart, so she should maybe be reminded she should not do this! But of course, she is much much to glamorous to be tying a string around her finger, so instead maybe she should be putting a ring around her finger! This 1/5 Carat Diamond and 7/8 Carat Multi-Gemstones 14K White Gold Ring she is saying, “Hello, the Mischa! When you are gazing upon my sparklies, please to be remembering that whiskey is not the good chaser for Percocet!”

Keira Knightley swashbuckled her way through three hours of movie madness in the latest installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series. If I had known that the movie was that long I would have gone to pee before I sat down. Keira looks great throughout the movie, even though her co-stars are covered in barnacles and look as if they’ve been swabbing the deck since the last movie.

Much of this movie takes place out of the Caribbean and in more exotic environs. We get touches of the Far East and some of the locations are literally out of this world. If you’d like to get a bit of the South China Sea sparkle in your wardrobe, you must try this 4 carat green jade pendant in 14K white and yellow gold. It features a huge, colorful faceted oblong jade stone that glows from a contemporary setting of white and yellow gold. Known in China as the “Royal Gem” it’s perfectly suited to Keira’s role as King of the Pirates.

In the general, the Rahulio is not loving the rules. What for are the rules?! They will always be whispering to you “No, no!” but the life she is about shouting so loudly “Yes, yes!” The Rahulio is not arriving to where he is on this day because he was saying “Okay!!” when the people were saying, “The Rahulio! These jewelries and celebrities are the very biggest of all the frivolities! Why have you not been studying in the trades of honest mens???” The Rahulio is running steadfastly in his principles.

But even the Rahulio is holding two rules close: do not have discussings about the politics, and do not have discussings about the making of love. These rules are being important at all the times, but especially during dinner. But very muchly to the chagrins of the Rahulio, some peoples are not holding these rules so very close. The Rosie O’Donnell is being one of these peoples.

Maybe you are knowing. The Rosie was commentating on The View, a show for the Barbara Walters to be saying, “Hello!! The womens are smart enough to be talking about more than the cakes and the weepy book clubs!” Rosie is of course being an outspeaking lesbian, and for this the Rahulio says, “You are going, girl!”, but he does not want to be hearing about this on the televisions over the leisuring breakfasts, and the Rosie also is loving to talk about the politics, especially about the dreadful warring in the middle of the East. Rosie is not for the killing of the mens in Iraq, but Elizabeth Hasselbeck, who is also being on The View, is for the killing of the mens in Iraq, and because of this they have been fighting. And now Rosie she is saying, “I am quitting!”

The Rahulio he wishes the Rosie “Good luck!” in the futures. But he is compelled to be saying something: the Rosie! Perhaps you were not being loved the show because you were not wearing enough of the blinglies? The Rahulio he also is loving the Barbra, but this is not enough! Why do you not wear the necklace? Something perhaps like the 1 1/4 Carat Diamond, Multi-colored Sapphire, Ruby and Green Garnet 14K White Gold Pendant? Give it the tryings!

According to reports, Lindsay Lohan has gotten herself into trouble. She was arrested was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday after her convertible struck a curb, and investigators found what they suspect is cocaine at the scene, police said.

First Paris, now Lindsay! Girls - GET A DRIVER! Hire a CAB! You have lots of money! Don’t be stupid!

I can’t wait to see her arrest/booking picture! Lindsay’s mug shot! Goodness! Anyway, she’s looking cute in the photo above though! Her star earrings are really something! you can get some that are very similar in these 7/8 carat blue sapphire and 14K white gold star earrings. At $995 these aren’t yard sale prices - but they’re still a big bargain! That’s because the stones are HUGE and the stone cut is so unique! They’re the perfect party earrings! They also come in yellow and pink!

The other day I wrote about Jessica Simpson all decked out in blue sapphires. I have received so many emails about sapphires due to that post, I thought I’d show you a great matching ring. Now, this 1 carat sapphire and diamond criss cross ring in white 14K gold isn’t in the same classic style as the pendant, but when you match colored gems the style matters less. I mean, if you mix and match appropriately, anything looks good!

This blue sapphire ring features slender circles of twinkling precious stones that intersect for a beautiful effect. Dazzling white diamonds and deep rich azure sapphires are exquisitely set in delicate criss-crossing white gold bands. It’s an elegant look that can be dressed up or down to fit the occasion. Plus this ring is a great bargain at just $275! That makes it a perfect bling finger ring!

A couple of days ago, I wrote about all the fun the Ms. Britney was having down in Miami. She’s not just having fun in the summer sun, she’s doing it with bling! Britney was spotted with a huge diamond ring on her right hand - on her bling finger!

If you want to get a similar look, try this 1 carat diamond and 14K white gold ring. In this ring, a dazzling large, round diamond is beautifully framed by a halo of smaller diamonds in an exquisite white gold setting encrusted with twinkling, pave-set accent stones. It’s an instant heirloom that is very similar to the ring Britney was flashing in Miami!

Jessica Simpson was spotted recently sparkling in blue! She looks great here in her sapphire colored gown and matching necklace. It’s very TV Hollywood of the 80s. But the 80s are back! Even though we know that she’s not the brightest gem in the jewelry box, I think Jessica is a beauty. Very Barbie.

You don’t have to have all the sparkle that Jessica is wearing to look like a million bucks. Less is more - especially with this 1 carat blue sapphire and diamond necklace in 14K white gold. This delicate sapphire pendant is reminiscent of vintage designs but as fresh and fashionable as today. A single oval sapphire dangles from a geometric filigree-style chain studded with accent diamonds for just $325.

The other day Britney Spears was out on the town in Miami doing what she does best - exposing herself and shopping. I seriously had to crop this picture in order for it to be semi-decent. Britney may not win the mother of the year award, but it’s not because she doesn’t care. She’s remembering her little ones with charms. If you look closely, she’s wearing a small child charm around her neck.

Well, I searched and searched and finally found you one too! Check out this super cute 1/10 carat diamond boy pendant and chain in 14K white gold! It’s so precious! Similar to Britney’s this charm is just $150 and features lustrous white gold, enlivened with dazzling diamonds suspended from a delicate chain. It’s a great way to remember the little man in your life with this adorable boy charm!

Proving that you don’t have to have the latest Prada pumps to have style, Cesaria Evora is known as the “barefoot diva”. Cesária Évora is a Cape Verdean folk singer - and she’s awesome. I was lucky enough to see her in concert once and was just blown away. It was better than Madonna.

Cesaria Evora has unique style and she wears a lot of gold. Gold is timeless and a great way to add shine to any outfit. This $27514K gold concave ring features a dramatically chic concave sculpted design that is gorgeously rendered in polished gold. It’s cool and relaxed…perfect for summer parties.

This month at least, Lindsay Lohan is the hottest woman in the world - according in Maxim magazine. “There is no other star in the world (who) causes more of a stir in the public eye than Lindsay,” said Maxim Editor in Chief Jimmy Jellinek in a statement. “Her every move is watched and reported on.”

My problem is that she’s hardly a woman. I mean, she’s just 20!!!

Anyway, she does look good here - if not a little drunk (per usual). She needs some sparkle no? - or at the very least some lipstick! It probably all rubbed off on the beer bong. These 14K white gold diamond hinged hoop earrings would be perfect for adding a little something to Lindsay’s outfit and yours too! They’re just $165 and feature the classic combination of diamonds and cool white gold at an amazing price!

It was time for some boot action on the red carpet as the stars of country music attended the Academy of Country Music Awards. Country music is cool. However, you can take the singer out of the sticks…but the down home fashion sense is hard to shake.

Take lil’ miss Carolyn Dawn Johnson. She hit the red carpet wearing a dress that looks like a 70s pillow case. I know that American Apparel has made the pillow case dress very popular but this print is just too much! The way the pattern sits on her makes her hips look wider than they are. Her choice of jewelry isn’t so great either. I would have not worn a necklace with this busy pattern. The simple gold chain gets lost. She needs something big and bold to match her dress.

These 1 carat orange sapphire earrings in 14K yellow gold would have been just the thing! At $250, these gorgeous dramatic earrings feature brightly hued orange sapphires sparkling gorgeously from spectacular sunburst settings of gleaming yellow gold. It’s enough retro to compliment her dress without being too Brady Bunch. Plus these earrings really pack a punch of color and style.

Cameron Diaz turned up to a recent event covered in tons of turquoise colored jewelry. I am all of the use of color in our accessories - but this was too much. Cameron wears all kinds of funk outfits that match her fun-loving personality. I really like her creativity and spunk, but all that bright blue hurts my eyes!

Something more like these turquoise and diamond tear drop earrings in 14K white gold would have been more fitting. Turquoise is an ancient stone that is always in fashion. In these $225 earrings, teardrops of vibrant blue-green turquoise are exquisitely complemented by diamonds and graceful settings of cool, lustrous white gold.

I don’t know if you’re down with your birthstones, but emerald is the birthstone for May. It’s an awesome gem that is really versatile. You can wear it all through the year - from holiday parties to spring fling! I’ve seen a lot of “old lady” emerald jewelry while I’ve been writing this blog but I’ve finally come across something cool. This 3/4 carat emerald and diamond multi circle pendant in 14K white gold is hot! It was love at first sight! This necklace even with all of it’s diamond and exclusive emeralds is just $350! If you know anything about fashion, you know that necklaces have been making a come back. The circle motif is especially popular. This pendant is a great way to get in on the circle pendant craze and still be unique!

Oprah spoke at the commencement ceremony at Howard University this past weekend. She rocked the crowd. As is her fashion, this diva wore huge rocks in her ears but that’s nothing new. Seriously, to afford bling like that you have to be…well, Oprah! But her watch is another matter altogether. I think that I’ve heard her raving about it on air before. Maybe it was one of those holiday give-away shows. Anyway, it’s a great watch for a modern woman. The dual time zones help you keep up with love ones all over the globe and avoid embarrassing middle-of-the-night phone calls.

You can get a similar look with this Joya ladies sterling silver heart shaped dual time zone watch with a black strap. At an amazing low price of just $95, this high fashion timepiece features round mother of pearl dials and 40 cubic zirconias to keep you looking good and on time!

Natalie Portman showed recently up to the Manhattan Cultural Center’s annual “Downtown Dinner” looking awesome. Yet something was off. She had two Band-Aids on her arm and was dressed in a trash bag. I f this dress were a little poofy-er, I could handle it. But as is, it just looks like a Hefty bag. I like the ancient Greece/Rome look she’s going for but it just doesn’t come off 100%. Her shoes are great though!

You know what’s missing right? Earrings! An outfit never looks complete without them! These Jordan Schlanger 18K gold mini bamboo hoop earrings would have done just the trick. At $650, these earrings have the perfect proportion for everyday wear. Each bamboo section is fully sculpted in three dimensions, flexible and light and reminiscent of real bamboo. It’s a fresh and fun look!

You’ve probably heard already, but Paris Hilton is going to jail. According to reports

A judge sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in jail Friday for violating her probation. Hilton, who parlayed her name and relentless partying into worldwide notoriety, must go to jail on June 5 and she will not be allowed any work release, furloughs, use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled after a hearing. The judge ruled that she was in violation of the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

You wanna know why she got into so much trouble? No JEWELRY! Look at that picture of her leaving the courthouse - no sparklies in site! Just goes to show you that a little bling goes a long way.

These 1/2 carat princess cut diamond earring in 14K white gold might not have gotten her off the hook, but they wouldn’t have hurt either! Always appropriate and gorgeous, diamond stud earrings are a timeless classic, and they belong in every jewelry wardrobe. These sparkling earrings feature a pair of dazzling square princess-cut diamonds, beautifully prong set in gleaming white gold.

Britney Spears, a mother twice over, was back to shakin’ her money maker(s) at a club in San Diego this week. It was her first public concert appearance in nealy three years. The blog The Superficial had this to say

I can’t believe people actually paid $125 to see Britney Spears sing for less than 15 minutes. Their money would’ve been better spent investing in my patent pending Trash Can Filled With Burning Money. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but I expect it to win two or three Nobel prizes.

Britney showed off her flair for all things sparkly with her jeweled bra. I don’t suggest that you get your mom or wife such a thing for Mother’s Day, but something shiny and beautiful isn’t a bad idea at all.

Modern, superbly crafted, and chic, this elegant pendant features deep red rubies and a sparkling diamond. A geometric circle design is beautifully rendered in 14k white gold, studded with rubies and suspended on a delicate chain. At just $95, it’s perfect for any budget!
