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.....

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

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....

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.

Sharon Stone's Basic Instinct Has Her Plotting The Design Of Killer Jewelry?

Actress Sharon Stone

Don't get scared about icepick flashbacks though. The former Basic Instinct Femme Fatale has teamed up with Damiani Jewelry to create a new line of jewelry to support A Drop In A Bucket, an organization that builds wells in Africa. Sharon's fine jewelry line is called Maji, the Swahili word for water. After taking a trip to Uganda, the film star saw the need for having access to more of it. While many of us take having clean water for granted,  Sharon learned that for the African villages,  it's something that is really needed and a quality of life essential. For the record, the Cityrockajewelry.com Blog loves that. Sometimes, it's not all about taking, but more about giving back. The line will will include rings, bracelets, earrings and pendants with rough diamonds set on burnished gold or silver. Everything will be signed by her and Damiani, and if you purchase it,you'd better not post it on Ebay......Below is an earring photo from the line. No need to thank me. I knew that you wanted to see it. I don't just talk about it folks, I am all about the Jewelry Gossip.
