The most famous lovely bridesmaid of all time is soon to be a bride! Pippa Middleton, Kate Middleton’s spotlight-stealing sister, became engaged to banker boyfriend Nico Jackson early this onth during a trip to India.
The couple was on holiday at Oberoi Amarvilas, which is a very posh resort with Taj Mahal views, and he popped the question in a manner that friends described as “very romantic and grand.”
And we can’t wait to see the ring. Congrats to the glamorous jet-setting couple!
We’re convinced that there’s a soul mate ring for every bride, but every year we do enjoy a few favorite rings in the media.
This year, we’ve been especially smitten with halo rings, and so has Hollywood!
Natalie Portman, Kaley Cuoco and Naya Rivera from Glee wear princess cut halo rings, which have proven to be one of the big trends in 2013. Here’s one we love, by us.
Kelly Clarkson wears the insanely popular halo style with a big yellow diamond, which we also love. Customize anything and everything, so it totally fits your personality!
Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian inspired their men to give them epic diamonds. As did one lucky Jeff Cooper bride, just last week!
Lauren Conrad and wear a classic round solitaire, which is sweet, simple and timeless.
Every bride is special and it was a great year for engagement rings, but we think that halos and mixed metals stole the show.
What are some of your favorite rings of the year?
When worlds collide! Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester and Adam Brody from The OC are engaged!
The newly engaged couple has been friends for several years and has worked together on the 2011 film “The Oranges.” Adam recently proposed after a year of dating.
Leighton is a bit of a fashionista, but we think she looks incredible in classic looks like the little black dress in our featured photo, so we’d love to see her in a movie-star-worthy design like our Ava Engagement Ring.
Leighton and Adam are absolutely adorable together, and we wish them all the best in the future!
‘The Hills” & “The City” reality TV star Whitney Port is now engaged to her TV producer boyfriend Tim Rosenman.
Tim is said to have proposed in Australia with a rose gold engagement ring. And you know we love the delicate romance of rose gold!
There are no great pictures yet, but that is a high profile center stone! It suits Whitney’s hand very well, we think.
Our warmest congratulations go out to the cute couple, who met on the set of Whitney’s reality show.

Kanye & Kim got engaged, this weekend, in a stadium he rented for the purpose. It was more romantic than it sounds, we think. There was a 50 piece orchestra and everything!
So congratulations, to Kimye. We wrote about their incredible push present here. With their flair for dramam and luxury, we bet the wedding will be epic.
And today, everyone’s talking about the ring, of course, including us!
Our own David Cooper spoke to Forbes.com about the smaller but better quality diamond, saying that the most important element in selecting a diamond is the emotional significance.
“To me, what’s most importance when viewing any stone is what the stone says to you,” David told Forbes. “A diamond like a person is unique and it should have a presence, personality and beauty all its own—regardless of color and clarity.”
We love that sentiment! Like a marriage, your rings are really about what you find in them: love, partnership and eternity. We hope Kanye and Kim find all that and more!

If your personal style is classic, you might love a round solitaire engagement ring. They never go out of style, and they look good with any style of clothes or accessories. They’re kind of the little black dress of diamonds.
Queen Elizabeth II received one from Prince Phillip, with a 3 carat diamond from his mother’s tiara. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden wears a simple round brilliant diamond solitaire engagement ring set in white gold, very similar to our solitaire styles here.
Over and over, we’re seeing stylish celebrities and our own clients return to the classic simplicity of a round solitaire, and we do love designing them.
Lovely Kerry Washington wears a round diamond, and so does heavy metal heiress Kelly Osbourne. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alexis Bledel and Carey Mulligan are a few more of the recently engaged stars making round solitaires hot again.
Have you seen any amazing round solitaires lately? If you have one of your own, share it!
