Big diamond news, jewelry hounds.
Giving birth to baby Maxwell isn’t the only new development in uber-celeb Jessica Simpson’s life these days. The singer/reality star/tv host/fashion mogul/celebrity mom just partnered with my Sugar Momma, Jewelry.com, to launch an exclusive boutique offering her fine diamond jewelry for we huddled masses yearning to bling free.
The collection is aptly called, Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend (don’t we know it, sister), and the pieces feature diamonds, gold and sterling silver in versatile ring, earring, necklace and pendant designs.
What I like about Jessica’s diamond jewelry collection (aside from the budget-friendly price points – thanks, Jess!) are the personalized elements she brings to each piece – a hot trend these days showing up in designer lines I’ve been tracking for the upcoming season.
Also hot? Her affordable price points ranging from $69 – $899.

Jewelry hunting at the Cannes Film Festival is like shooting fish in a barrel. With Chopard as a sponsor and the Geneva-based couture jewelry house, de GRISOGONO throwing celebrity-studded fetes left and right, the red carpets are full of Elizabeth Taylor-worthy jewels that will keep this jewelry hound drooling long into June.

While Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman represented the A-list with their delicate diamonds (lovely, but been there done that) and Angelina Jolie didn’t even show up to disappoint me with her snore-worthy studs, de Grisogono’s jewels was where the real action was. Meow!

As if model, Irine Shayk, isn’t enviable enough for her soccer stud boyfriend (Ronaldo, anyone?) she’salso the red carpet muse for the ‘best of’ from the de GRISOGONO vault.
Behold….
We know you’re looking at her earrings. Right? The earrings….


de GRISOGONO “ANELLI” earrings in pink gold set with 1128 white diamonds
de GRISOGONO flower braceletin in pink gold set with 2 white diamonds of 2.60 cts and 2663 white diamonds
Angelina Jolie? Now THESE are emerald earrings!
White gold earrings with emerald and white diamond briolettes
200 white diamonds, 60 briolette diamonds and 198 yellow diamonds worth nearly $1m.
That’s about $6 million worth of minerals there, jewelry hounds. Big. Deep. Breath.
