Rihanna Shines in Cartier on the August 2019 Cover of Harper’s Bazaar China

Can we just admire how gorgeous Rihanna looks on the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar China? This past Monday the magazine released not one but two covers -one where the singer wore a green gown designed by J.P. Gaultier for the English version and a navy pleated Iris Van Herpen gown for the Chinese version.

The covers and editorial spread were the work of fashion photographer Chen Man and editor in chief Simona Sha and fashion chief editor Wei Tian. According to Harper’s Bazaar China‘s own Instagram account, the concept behind the cover and inside spread was to combine a Western-style icon like Rihanna with Eastern aesthetics.

But our love affair with this spread goes beyond the clothes, makeup, and fashion and focuses squarely on the jewels – those amazing million dollar Cartier jewels that Rihanna wears with effortless ease.  Scroll down to see highlights of the extraordinary Cartier pieces worn by the Barbadian beauty below.

Platinum, white gold, one emerald-cut diamond of 2.76 carats, two square-cut diamonds of 2.35 and 1.29 carats, respectively, 991 baguette-, brilliant- and fancy-cut diamonds weighing 83.89 carats in total.

The exceptional dimension (20.20 cm long, weighing 156.45 g) makes this brooch a unique post-war piece of high jewelry.

It included as its centerpiece the famous De Beers diamond, a cushion-cut pale yellow diamond weighing 234.69 carats.

Since we’re getting a small glimpse of her wrist on the English cover we’re assuming Riri is wearing:

Celebrity Jewelry Sightings – July 8th, 2019

All the celebrity jewels you’ve missed during the past week are all right here

CELINE DION: Seems Celine was the star at the Haute Couture Collections in Paris last week. The flash from her fistful of diamond rings front row and center at the Alexandre Vaultier show caught our eye, especially that Années Folles white gold ring with baguette diamonds from Van Cleef & Arpels’ Couture collection.

CHRISSY TEIGEN: We would be smiling from ear to ear like Chrissy Teigen was in NYC if we were wearing Hanut Singh’s Pyramids earrings of green onyx, diamond, ruby, and black diamonds.

MEGHAN MARKLE: Meghan wore a sweet tribute to baby Archie with her letter ‘A’ Verse Fine Jewellery Love Letter necklace at Wimbledon while cheering on pal Serena Williams. The Duchess of Sussex paired the cute pendant with Jessica McCormack’s sapphire heart back button ring.

ZENDAYA: Zendaya shone in Paris. The 22-year-old actress attended the launch of Lancôme Idôle, the fragrance for which she is the new face, dripping in diamond jewelry from Chopard that totaled over 32 carats.

J. BLIGE: Mary rocked some serious bling at the 2019 Love Ball from Jacob & Co. including the jewelry line’s statement-worthy Abanico earrings.

ARIANA GRANDE: The birthday girl was party-ready in Harry Kotlar diamond stud earrings and two rings from Le Vian and Kallati.

RIHANNA: Seth Meyers is a huge Rihanna fan and had the singer on his show for some daytime drinking shenanigans. The singer wore a beloved yellow and white diamond Etho Maria ring which was paired with $248,000 worth of David Webb jewels!

RITA ORA: Rita gave us a sneak peek at her latest collaboration with jeweler Thomas Sabo. The singer wore a variety of colorful pieces at the press event including several unreleased gems. The line launches on July 15th.

MILEY CYRUS: We all know that Miley is a huge vintage jewelry fan as was evident when she piled on the Dior and Chanel jewels when she performed at the 2019 Glastonbury Festival. However, one necklace caught our eye – her Lynn Ban custom pussy power pendant. Very fitting since she has always been for female empowerment and sexuality.

Rihanna wears a cool $833,000 worth of David Webb Jewels at her FENTY X Webster Cocktail Pop-Up

Rihanna can do no wrong when it comes to jewelry. The newly minted billionaire arrived in New York for her Fenty x Webster cocktail pop-up dripping in a ton of David Webb jewels! The exquisite bold pieces totaled a cool $833,000 worth. Let’s break it all down:

Our eyes immediately went to Riri’s gorgeous show-stopping chandelier earrings. The Grand Girandole earrings are comprised of hexagonal cabochon amethyst and emeralds, fire opals, and turquoise, turquoise drops, pear, marquise, and brilliant-cut diamonds in 18K gold, and platinum and costs a cool $585,000.

 

We spotted several bracelets and cuffs on the singer. One stood out in particular – Webb’s $ 145,000 aquamarine stud cuff which featured a superb rectangular-cut aquamarine accented with brilliant-cut diamonds and white enamel in 18K gold, and platinum.

Riri wouldn’t be Rihanna without her cocktail rings. We spotted two from Webb. A $49,000 geometric gold and diamond ring and the jewelry brand’s Cubist ring which features a rectangular-cut aquamarine, brilliant-cut diamonds, white enamel, polished 18K gold, and platinum and sells for $54,000.
