Inspiring Celebrity Wedding Ring Trends

By Theblackurbantimes.com staff

While jewelry is favored among most fashionable men and women, no other group loves their bling as much as celebrities, particularly hip hop’s elite.
 From Beyonce to Lil’ Wayne hip hop stars are often known for their ostentatious, jeweled accessories as much as their music. Some hip hop celebs like Fabolous and Cam’Ron have even been maimed while trying to protect their iced out chains. Although urban stars are mainly known for sporting garish chains, watches, and rings, there has been an upsurge of urban celebrities blinging out other jewelry items, such as their wedding rings. Pseudo celebs like Kim Kardashian, who was given a 20.5-carat diamond engagement ring worth $2 million by her former hubby Kris Humphries, and Beyonce Knowles who was given a $5 million ring by her music mogul/rapper hubby Jay-Z have helped spiked the massive diamond ring trend. Even low-key stars like actress Halle are going for huge, glamorous jewels.

With celebrities leading the blinged-out engagement ring pack, many fashionistas are trying to get in on this trend by acquiring ginormous, shiny rocks of their own. Luckily, jewelers recognize a woman's desire to outdo her friends, co-workers, and anything else in a skirt, and are making it easy for us to craft our own eccentric pieces. Whether your boo purchases something already made or you opt to design your own ring from jewelry retailers like 77 Diamonds , an engagement ring with a colossal stone(s) is the only way for a chic, jewelry-loving bride to walk down the aisle. Bling That’ll Break the Bank.
Everyone knows that diamonds are a girl's best friend, and, according to some women, the bigger the rock, the better. Rings with an excessive amount of carats and shine are not just for Hollywood's leading ladies, and you don't have to be Mariah Carey or Jennifer Lopez to own an ample stone of your own; however, you (i.e., your man) must have sizable income or several salaries' worth of savings to afford many of today’s notable pieces. Bearing price tags starting around the cost of the down payment on a McMansion, rings of momentous proportions are not only expensive because of the gems that adorn them, but their value and price increases depending on the jeweler, cut, and clarity of the diamond. It's significant to note that very big diamonds often l
 ack the clarity and integrity of medium-sized diamonds. In addition, rare, larger diamonds with high color, cut, and clarity grades can be pricier than their lesser-quality counterparts even if their carat size is substantial.
Shine Bright Like a Diamond: Gems with Color

Eye-catching, colored gems are nothing new in the engagement ring scene. Although the ring finger of J.Lo’s left hand has seen many a diamond, it was the 6.1-carat pink diamond engagement ring, given to her by Ben Affleck in 2002 that resonates in the colored-gem loving crowd. Even royalty is getting in on the colorful engagement ring trend with Prince William using the sapphire ring his father gave his mother to propose to Kate Middleton. Sophisticated, fashionable celebs like Halle Berry may not be rocking ridiculously large stones; however, they are setting off the brilliant gem look in their own ways—wearing radiant jewels such as emeralds.

No matter what ring design you go for, make sure it’s unique, bold, and suits you.

Bey Performed at Party Thrown by Dictator Moammar Khadafy's Son?

Beyonce performed for an hour on New Year's Eve at a party thrown by terror-backing Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy's son, Hannibal, who has a long record of violence against women.

Beyoncé performed five songs in a sexy black leotard at the Nikki Beach club on St. Barts in front of a crowd that included her husband Jay-Z, Usher and Lindsay Lohan.

We couldn't confirm how much Beyoncé was paid for the gig, but last year, Mariah Carey reportedly pocketed $1 million for performing at Nikki Beach.

Some vacationers on the island were aghast. DJ Sam Young tweeted: "Jigga [Jay-Z], Beyonce & Usher were @ Nikki Beach performing for Khadafy family, WTF?"

Just a week earlier, on Christmas Day, Hannibal, 33 -- also known as Moutassim -- allegedly attacked his wife, Aline Skaf, in his suite at Claridge's in London. Three of his security staff were arrested for obstructing police. Skaf was reportedly hospitalized with a broken nose while Hannibal was whisked away in a diplomatic car.

In July 2008, he and his then-pregnant wife were arrested on charges of beating their servants in a Geneva hotel. They denied the charges, which were dropped after the servants received compensation.

Hannibal was also arrested in 2005 in a Paris hotel for allegedly punching Skaf. He then allegedly brandished a 9mm handgun and went on a furniture-smashing rampage in his hotel suite. No charges were brought.

A year earlier, he led a police chase on the Champs Elysees, reaching speeds of 90 mph in his Porsche. No charges were brought after Libyan diplomats apologized. And in 2001, he allegedly attacked three Italian policemen with a fire extinguisher, but demanded diplomatic immunity.

Reps for Beyoncé and Nikki Beach did not return calls and e-mails.

Beyonce Talking Vegas?

Spokeswoman says there’s no deal despite rumors of lucrative contract

LAS VEGAS - Wynn Las Vegas officials say they're in preliminary talks with Beyonce to bring the superstar singer back to the Las Vegas resort

Wynn Resorts spokeswoman Jennifer Dunne says there's no deal yet, despite published rumors of a lucrative, long-term contract.

Beyonce appeared at the resort from July 30 through Aug. 2 this year while filming a concert DVD. Her shows helped boost visitation to Wynn and its sister Encore Las Vegas resort during a typically slow tourist season in Las Vegas.

Beyonce sang in the Encore Theater, where country star Garth Brooks plans to play a series of solo acoustic shows starting on Friday. Brooks' deal puts him in Las Vegas 15 weeks a year for possibly the next five years.

Beyonce Doesn't Do 'Twitter'!

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Beyonce revealed that she doesn't use the social networking web site, Twitter:

Associated Press: Your sister Solange twitters all the time. Do you do it?

Beyonce: My sister is the Twitter queen. She told me about the twittering, but I don't get it, I feel like I'm getting really old. I'm like, what? I don't understand. Just call me.

I guess this puts an end to everyone out there believing that's really Beyonce on Twitter, huh? Suckers!

The Carters on Their First Anniversary

The Carters were spotted out this past weekend doing a little shooping and eating in Nueva York. Beyonce aka Mrs. Shawn Carter was looking quite casually sexy in her second skin jeans pants, burgandy jacket (and accessories to boot).

Her suspenders give her that classic 'buppy' look and those 6-inch YSL stilettos are stunning. Her fitted un-buttoned shirt tops that look off with s-e-x-y!

Hubby and music mogul Jay-Z rocked a black leather bomber with blue jeans and a crisp white tee shirt. The Carters were spotted in Nueva York having a bite to eat at Pastis on Ninth Avenue in Manhattan.

One Last DC3 Album

According to OK! Magazine, Beyonce and her back-up singers - Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland are going to release one last Destiny's Child album, set to hit shelves in 2011. An insider with Columbia Records said, "They still have another album they owe their label, Columbia Records, on their contract." Work on the album won't begin until Beyonce finishes promoting and touring for her current solo album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (like the other girls have any options). This is going to be one last Columbia check for Rowland who was recently dropped from the label and possibly for Williams who in my opinion is on her way to being dropped. I guess Beyonce... your reign is soon coming to an end, mark my words!
