Rihanna’s New Charm Bracelet Could Hold A Clue To Her Due Date

Rihanna has a new piece of jewelry to add to her collection thanks to beau A$AP Rocky and it could hold a major clue as to when their baby is due!

According to People.com Rocky bought a delightful charm bracelet from Annoushka in London at the U.K jewelry brand’s stand in the Liberty department store before Rihanna’s 34th birthday last month.

The bracelet, valued at around $52,000, has carefully chosen charms that represent something significant to the couple.

The rapper chose an evil eye for protection, a tulip for new life, a working compass for direction, a malachite lucky clover, a rose studded with 111 pink sapphires, a ruby and sapphire magic mushroom, a sparkling bluebird locket, and a gold love letter that fits a tiny handwritten note inside.

“He was so sweet and he was very specific that the charms had to be in the order that he had arranged them,” Annoushka Ducas, founder of her eponymous line tells PEOPLE exclusively adding: “He wanted to know how each one worked because all my charms move and open and do what you might expect and he was bowled over by that — I just think it’s the most romantic gift.”

But there were two other charms that particularly stood out among the rest.  A mermaid sitting on a pearl to represent fertility and a love locket. Why the locket? Eagle-eyed fans noticed it’s adorned with an emerald- the birthstone for May. Since A$AP’s birthday is in October and Rihanna’s is in February, the locket could be a hint at their baby’s due date!

  • Is Brandy Norwood being sued over a missing ring? It sure looks like it! According to TMZ.com the songstress and her stylist are being dragged to court by Elle B. Mambetov, a fashion designer and Beverly Hills store owner over a $45,000 ring that she was supposed to wear at the American Music Awards.

THE MYSTERY BEHIND BETTY WHITE’S DIAMOND HEART NECKLACE IS FINALLY SOLVED!

  • So where did Betty White get her diamond heart necklace from? Many think it was a gift from her late husband Allen Ludden but it turns out to be from actress Jennifer Love Hewitt!

The two were good friends after meeting on the set of the Hallmark movie The Lost Valentine in 2011 and Jennifer has now revealed that for 11 years Betty wore a necklace Jennifer had gifted to her.

“Not a lot of people know this story and I have never shared it, but when we worked together it was instant love for me and when we wrapped I gave her a Tiffany necklace and she wore it every single day for 11 years,” Jennifer told ET Online.

“She had it on with her when she passed, she had my heart with her and she always will.”

Jennifer revealed it was “beautiful” to her that Betty was wearing the present – Tiffany’s heart diamond pendant – she gave her when she died.
She said: “She had it on when she passed and a friend of hers called me and said, ‘You know we have to take the necklace off, but it was the first time in 11 years that she took that off and that’s who Betty was, she knew, that for me, it meant something to give her my heart and she wore it every day, and every time she heard my name, you can go back and look at countless interviews and that little diamond, her necklace, that she wears is for me, and she would kiss it and she would always make sure that I knew she had it on and it was so beautiful to me that it was with her in her last moment.”

  • Fellas take note! When it comes to finding a ring for your loved one to propose with –  take a cue from Machine Gun Kelly! The Papercuts singer placed major thought behind the design of the ring he was giving to his girlfriend Megan Fox! Let’s break it down, shall we?

Kelly teamed up with edgy jeweler Stephen Webster (Christina Aguilera and Pink are big fans) to design a “Toi et Moi” style featuring the couple’s birthstones: a diamond for himself and an emerald for his bride-to-be. The style of two stones is often referred to as “you and me” and is one of the most historic ring-setting styles that symbolizes love stories and partnerships. This style first gained attention with a diamond and sapphire Toi et Moi ring that Napoleon Bonaparte gifted his wife Josephine de Beauharnais in 1796.

The two pear-shaped stones are set “on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love,” Kelly wrote on Instagram.

In a recent interview, MGK, told Vogue, “The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings. When it’s together, it’s held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart,” he said. “And you see this right here? The bands are actually thorns. So if she tries to take it off, it hurts…. Love is pain.”

The ring is estimated to be valued at $350,000 and when interviewed Webster said of MGK, “He wanted something that was completely original and meaningful to both Megan and himself. He fed me lots of material in an almost lyrical form.”

The jeweler also said the rock star provided him with “possibly the most romantic story I have had to work with.”

But that’s not only the piece of jewelry Fox has to show her devotion to Kelly. Less than a week after their engagement, Megan Fox supported Machine Gun Kelly’s Dolce & Gabbana runway debut in Milan Italy by wearing a necklace by George the Jeweler. The multistrand statement piece features a custom 14k gold diamond MGK initial pendant, a gun pendant, and a saint medallion surrounded by diamonds.


PHARRELL’S NEW DIAMOND GLASSES FOR TIFFANY ARE CAUSING QUITE AN UPROAR!

  • So what has everyone talked about in the jewelry industry? It has to be the latest collaboration between Pharrell Williams and Tiffany & Co.! According to WWD.com Pharrell went to the fall 2022  Kenzo menswear show in Paris on Sunday wearing almond-shaped sunglasses rimmed in 61 round brilliant diamonds of over 25 carats and studded with an emerald at each temple, teasing a new design project with Tiffany & Co.

“Tiffany and I are engaged,” he told WWD, flashing a big smile.

He said the sunglasses were the “first of many things that I’m gonna do with Tiffany.”

So why the uproar? Two pairs of Mughal glasses went up for sale at Sotheby last year. If you look closely it appears that the ones Pharrell wore to the show are very similar in style right down to the shape of the lenses. Many felt that the iconic blue box jeweler should have at least stated that they were inspired by these 17th-century glasses. Thoughts?

 

 

 

Beyonce and Jay-Z Are Tiffany & Co.’s Latest Brand Ambassadors

When Harper’s Bazaar leaked the news that Beyonce and Jay-Z were the latest Tiffany & Co., brand ambassadors for its About Love Campaign it was only a matter of time before the world would get a peek of the epic  photoshoot!

In an interview with WWD, Alexandre Arnault, the EVP of the company, said Beyonce and Jay-Z were easy choices for the new campaign.’ She’s the best singer in the world, and he’s the best rapper in the world, hands down. And we’re the best jewelry company in the world, right? So we kind of had to marry ourselves together to produce this.’

He continued to say: ‘We wanted them to be seen as no one has ever seen them before. We wanted to go behind the scenes and try to capture those intimate moments that are so difficult to see and find.’

After all, Bey and Jay-Z have a love that lasts, having been married for nearly 20 years (the legendary singer, 39, met her future husband when she was just 18 years old!)

When interviewed exclusively by People Magazine Arnault stated that “Beyoncé and JAY-Z are the epitome of the modern love story. As a brand that has always stood for love, strength, and self-expression, we could not think of a more iconic couple that better represents Tiffany’s values. We are honored to have the Carters as a part of the Tiffany family.”

The campaign photos feature the singer wearing a stunning yellow and white diamond necklace shown above. The cushion-cut diamond, which features an unprecedented 82 facets, was unearthed in 1877 in the Kimberley Mines of South Africa; the iconic jeweler’s founder, Charles Lewis Tiffany, purchased the stone the following year.

Jay-Z, meanwhile, wears Jean Schlumberger’s $ 40,000 Apollo brooch (spotted above) on his lapel and Bird on a Rock brooch, reconstructed for the campaign as a unique pair of cuff links.

So why is this significant? The necklace has only been worn by three women since its discovery in 1877 -Audrey Hepburn, Lady Gaga, and Gal Gadot. Not only is this the first time the necklace has been featured in a campaign but Beyonce becomes the first Black woman and fourth person to wear the legendary stone!

Lady Gaga wore the necklace at the 2019 Oscars and Gal Gadot wore the epic gem for the upcoming 2022 film Death On The Nile.

In other promo shots, Bey put a modern spin on Audrey’s iconic look in the Sixties romcom Breakfast at Tiffany’s where she played socialite Holly Golightly (left). At that time when Audrey wore the gem, it was called the Schlumberger Ribbon Rosette necklace.

There has been some controversy linked to the campaign according to PageSix as some fans and scholars were not happy about the colonial origins of the stone and Bey’s participation in the campaign.

Sources are saying this is a yearlong partnership between the couple and the jewelry brand but it makes us wonder though – what is Lorraine Schwartz (Beyonce’s go-to jeweler of several years) thinking about all of this?
