KHLOE KARDASHIAN: Is Khloe engaged? Rumors ran rampant across the internet just two days before Christmas when the Kardashian was spotted wearing a MASSIVE diamond ring on her ring finger while out in Boston with Tristan Thompson and daughter True!

Our hopes were quickly dashed as People.com said there’s a different story surrounding the ring. The ring indeed was gifted to Khloe by Tristan but it’s not what you think. No, it’s not an engagement ring more like a promise ring. With the salacious cheating scandal surrounding Thompson from two years ago, it looks like he knew Khloe was a good thing and this promise ring is a sign the couple is one step closer to taking the plunge. As for the designer behind the big bauble, it looks to be the telltale design style of celeb jeweler Lorraine Schwartz!

CHRISSY TEIGEN: Chrissy finally got one of her dream jewels for Christmas and no hubby John did not gift it to her! Good friend and hairstylist Jen Atkins gifted Teigen with one of Lorraine Schwartz’s Against Evil Eye bracelets which has been spotted on everyone from Blake Lively to model Alessandra Ambrosio!

A total of 540 carats of diamonds and weighs, get this, a whopping 10 kilos.
