----I mean BAVNA, as in  the mega jewelry line to other stars like Gweneth Paltrow, Katy Perry, Miranda Lambert, Queen Latifah, Mariah Carey, J-Hud, Halle Berry, Paris Hilton and more. The newly-hued Goldi-locked songstress positively shined in the diamond, gold, and silver earrings that she recently wore court side, at the All-Stars basketball game. Switch. Beyonce shined that day, but then Faded To Black much like her beau's past hit album title. Cityrockajewelry readers,  It was in the name of fashion. Haven't you heard??? Free your mind, and the rest will follow because it's just En Vogue. You still say it's controversial? Of course it is. Any Beyonce news is major news to most. You should also know the photos will be on sale as part of a special collector edition at the end of this month. Oh, BAVNA's website isn't up yet. You'll have to drool and wait like the rest of us for them to put up a more affordable edition of their jewelry goods :(

Spotted - Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester Wearing a Braided Bracelet

??True indeed. Leighton Meester was spotted looking all dolled up and sporting a braided Stella & Dot CZ Link fashion jewelry bracelet. She wore it on the the Valentines Day Episode of Gossip Girl.....What do you mean you didn't see it???? You'll have to pay closer attention. What in heaven's name would you do without me? :) Mwuah. Take that, take that, my Cityrockajewelry.com supporters and faithful readers.

Celebrities Jewelry - Overdose Edition 2011

I know that you've got the chills and the sweats. You probably can't sleep, and you may be experiencing anxiety and nervousness. This is your body going through withdrawls. No worries my Cityrockajewelry.com Blog readers. I've got the Celebrities Jewelry fix that you've been yearning for. I know that it's a new year, and that you've got to have you some like no other blog can supply..... Go on, scroll on down and hit it, but you've just got to stop showing up at my job like this.....

So welcome to 2011. Here are some fashion jewelry looks that either caught my eyes---or crossed them.


??????

I like it a lot. Squared bangles is a hot new trend to look out for because it's unexpected and modern. Karissa Shannon stacked up some style points with me for sure with these diamond bracelets.

?

Rihanna hopped on the trend too a little while back. It looks great paired with her new award though, don't you think?

?

Whitney Port's Bronzed Statement Necklace is just Gorg. You can wear something like this with anything and still get away with it....a jewelry heist maybe? I'm kidding.

If only this silver spiked statement necklace was smaller in size... I do love this on Ms. Donna Karan though. I said it before, and I'll say it again. Spikes are in.

Only Nicki Minaj can get a pass for wearing this multi-strand beaded statement necklace. It's just right for her onstage, and very over the top image.

Are you writing this down? Take notes when you see Olivia Palermo accessorizing. Layer  your beaded necklaces with gems. Stat.

This  jewelry type is going to be a gigantic deal for 2011 peoples. Earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets. It's Geode jewelry; and it's all about the jagged gemstone or rock (real or faux) appeal. 

Even Jenni J-Woww from the Jersey Shore is up on it. You go girl.  The boobage is covered and she's showing off accessories these days. Who says that having money can't be life-changing?

Aww...look at Pink. She's preggers and glowing and her pink  diamond chandelier earrings are the truth.

I'm all for fun jewelry pieces, but not when it borders on it being able to be used as a weapon. Maria Menounos with her cocktail ring? Nope. On to the next one.

Posted this just for my sheer amusement.

Blake Lively brings us an early hint of spring with her turquoise drop earrings and bangle bracelets, but I'm not a fan of this look with her purple suede laser cut dress. This is iffyy...I hope that  Vogue's Anna Wintour doesn't revoke your style card Blake.....

The Truth About Christian Siriano's Jewelry Line 2011

Christian Sirano Photo

It's Big. It's Boldacious, and it's rooted in turquoise,brown, silver, gold, and ivory hues. Metals are mixed and textures are both rough and smoothed.Siriano's pieces definitely evoke the strong ethnic African,Indian and Chinese influences that he was going for. The fashion jewelry feel is totally tribal, and it's ritualistic in a way that could have you slipping on any one of his collection pieces, posing in front of your bathroom mirror, again, and again, and again.

This 2011collection undoubtedly, seems to mirror Project Runway's own, Christin Sirano's, spiky-haired creative, but quirky image. You're compelled to look at it, simply because it's not something that you see every day. This isn't by any means a diss. In fact, it speaks ear-shrieking volumes about having the courage to be different, in essence, creating your own lane. If you want to blend in with the crowd this line is surely not for you. Now I could rock his stuff anywhere, anytime. Holler at your girl Christian.....

Check out a few of his pieces.....

You can view and purchase Christian Siriano's complete jewelry here. And to see a  video preview of his line where he speaks on what inspired his creations go here. (A special thanks goes to the folks over at N3 Magazine for the video footage).

Jersey Shore's Snooki is Having Herself A Ball For 2011 and Beyond

Latifah Photo

Happy New Year my Cityrocka Readers! I Hope that this new year brings you nothing but love, wealth,  strong health and good times. Okay, so let's talk Celebrity Jewelry Gossip. After all, I know that's what brought you here.

This must be some kind of trend..... this celebrity jewelry theft thing is suddenly off the chain. Pun intended. Paula Deen (see my previous post below), Paris Hilton got jacked for her jewelry , and now I find out that somebody was stupid enough to stick Cleo, from the Set It Off movie, a.k.a. Queen Latifah, up for her Jew-els? Are they freakin' crazy?  Gots to be. They were able to get away with $10,000 worth of her jewelry, which was jacked from her luxury hotel suite in Tobago. And when I say luxury suite, I mean luxurious as in $1000 per night to stay there. For that kind of money they should be leaving diamonds on Latifah's pillows instead of chocolate mints. I'm sure Latifah has insurance to cover her losses, but the thieves just better make sure that she isn't up for getting some street justice, sitting in a chair somewhere getting her hair corn-rowed....

Snooki From the Jesey Shore Photo

Here's the Ball She was in. Notice the red cup?

So....I'm only posting this because I have to. I mean that I really have to. As a journalist, I know that it is my duty to deliver the jewelry scoop in an unbiased and professional manner to you.... Here's my best attempt at doing so.  Snooki of The Jersey Shore fame has partnered up with Diamiondshark.com to sell the Snooki Party Ball Limited Edition Pendant. Yep. Remember when she rode inside the gigantic caged ball of lights  in Seaside Heights, NJ?  Well she had one of the necklaces on then.  The pendant piece has a carat's worth of pink sapphires inlaid into it. It's rhodium plated, sterling silver and dangles from an 18" chain. It can be all your for only $49 bucks. Hey, that means you can slip it on, get wasted, and start fist-pumping too.
