Hollywood jewelry designer Neil Lane was the jeweler of choice, showing up to present Jake Pavelka with a choice of sparkling rocks. Pavelka hemmed and hawed over a round cut (representing good girl Tenley) and a princess cut (representing the more saucy Vienna). He ended up choosing Vienna and a Neil Lane princess-cut diamond and platinum ring. The ring is set with 70 diamonds for a total weight of 2.72 carats, the center diamond is a 2.02 carat princess-cut diamond. No word on price, but depending on the quality of the center stone this ring likely cost over $25,000. The ring was custom designed and signed by Lane. We'll probably be seeing a lot more Neil Lane this weekend on the Oscar red carpet.

Bibigi Fashion Collection Rings

Filed under: Jewelry

Bibigi has many unique jewelry designs but their Fashion Collection rings are my absolute favorite because I love gardening, flowers, and the outdoors. Featuring an obvious floral theme, the collection is bright with colorful leaves, petals, and the occasional dragonfly or butterfly. Featuring white gold and yellow gold with diamonds, black diamonds, and enamel accents, the collection has a definite whimsical vibe. One of my favorites is this Van Gogh ring, of which there are four designs including a coordinating necklace and earrings.
