La La Vasquez - One Half of A Power Couple 2011....

La La Vasquez

Haven't you heard? She's 50% of the BRAND that is now Hello Melo, as in Carmelo Anthony, the new basketball player extraordinaire for the New York Knicks. La deserves it. She's kept herself grounded and paid her dues in the industry. More importantly, she's managed to keep her name out of the gossip mills, and no photos of crotch shots of the reality show starlet have surfaced anywhere. It's with sky-high hopes that we make the wish that things will remain that way.... La, we heart your glitzy statement necklace oh-so-much.....but ummm.....the latex outfit and blonde bangs...not so much. From the Cityrockajewelry.com family to you,  we just want you to know that there's no pressure for you to live up to wearing all of the free swag that people will be throwing your way left and right. I have a feeling that you'll be a-okay though. Stay fabulous and we'll stay posting!

Rappers Aren't the only Ones Who Like To Floss Diamond Jewelry...Oscars 2011

Prince Frederic Von Anhalt AKA Zsa Zsa Gabor's Husband

Ha. So if you thought that diamonds were only a girls best friend, you were DOA (dead on arrival) wrong. Someone, namely, Zs Zsa Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic Von Anhalt, is getting ready for his close up as he attends the Oscar's this coming Sunday. It seems homeboy is Kanye-West-ready to throw his diamonds up because the Prince visited jeweler Raju Rasiah in Beverly Hills. The streets are saying that he borrowed over $2000,000 worth of diamonds to floss in for the top-shelf occasion. Two platinum rings, a diamond bracelet, and a sick. sick, diamond watch.This post is for everyone else whose planning to attend the Oscars....If you  hadn't been reading the Cityrockajewelry.com Gossip blog, you would have never known. It's clearly time to step your jewelry accessory game up.

Exposed- Video of Lindsay Lohan Stealing Necklace!!!

Lindsay Lohan Wearing the alleged stolen necklace

Well yes, I'd like to see that too. Let a girl know if you've got a copy of the in-store surveillance video. Until then, we'll just have to speculate on whether or not Lindsay Lohan stole, or simply "just borrowed" that $2500 necklace from Kamofie & Company  . If you 're tossing and turning in bed at night, unable to sleep because you just need to know how the LL caper may have allegedly gone down,  I've come up with  the video . It's entertaining; probably more so than if you'd watched the crime go down in person. Shout out to the Taiwanese News Network and Thehollywoodgossip.com.

Halle Berry is SO NOT Engaged - 2011

?

Halle Berry's Alleged Engagement Ring?

I'm just calling it like I see it people, so Calm Down. Settle down.

Fall back.

 A girl can wear

a ring on her "ring finger" and it can still be fashion jewelry or fine jewelry. Anyway, I hardly

think that this ring qualifies as engagement jewelry. It's pretty, but c'mon now.  Halle Berry is better than that, and you and I both know it.

Kat Von D is Engaged, But Even She Doesn't Care...

Kat Von D's Engagement Ring Photo

Just look at the somber mug on her face. Does she look like anything like a happy Bride-To-Be should?

Didn't you want Jesse James to leave his ex Sandra Bullock and profess his undying love for you? Aren't you at all excited about the vintage, intricate filigree patterned, scroll work 4-carat platinum and diamond Neil Lane ring that you just got girl? Oh that's right, Cheaters never win. Trust. I've been there before. Enjoy what you can while you can..... Good luck with that alright?

Kat Von D and Jesse James, the happy couple

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.....

Courtney Love Can't Get No Love From Jeweler Jacob And Co.

Courtney Love

The way this news is being delivered may be a few days sloppy, but I assure you that it's right in line with the steamy tea that I'm about to spill to you my Cityrockajewelry Readers. Just when we thought Courtney Love might finally be getting her act together, this chick strikes again. It seems that Love hasn't given back $114,000 worth of borrowed gems from the Jacob and Co. so a lawsuit for damages is green light pending even though it's claimed that she told them that she lost the jewelry. Of course that wasn't acceptable to the Celebrity Jeweler; not when they already had an agreement in place which specified that she was responsible for them regardless of loss or damage.... As the Citrockajewelry Judge and Jury, we're not sure who to blame this one on. Is Courtney Love guilty as charged of the (alleged) theft of two white gold and diamond chains, a pair of white gold and diamond pave hoop earrings, and a gold mesh bracelet borrowed since September 2010? Or is Jacob and Co. guilty in handing over their pricey baubles to a mostly unstable, take-life-as-it-comes Rocker Songstress Courtney Love in the first place? It does make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......... doesn't it?

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.

Maji Earrings

Celebrity Weddings- Pending, But Who Liked It Most?

?So I know this is really, really shallow of me, but I'm proof positive that I'm not the only person who wants to know about this ish---and yes it's just for kicks but don't put all the blame on me.....Beyonce started it with that If he liked it then he should have put a ring on it melody.... Here's the Question. If  the measure of love is weighed in carats, then which man loves the best out of the newly announced brides to be below? Go ahead...you can check the numbers and make the comparisons for yourself. You know that you want to. Oh, and shout out to the women who are doing it for themselves out in the world rocking their right hand rings.It's all good. I feel like a woman should always have options, but settling for someone who can't bring something to the table should never be one of them. Happy Thanksgiving.

Celebrity Style Trends 2010 | Jewelry Part I

So, I've been thinking. Part of the reason why people love to watch celebrities is for their Celebrity Style. But what if you can't afford to buy Lanvin Jewelry, or any of the other huge runway designer looks that you see them in?

Madonna And Lourdes Stuntin' Their Material Girl Line At Macy's...

Madonna And Her Daughter Lourdes

Madonna

It's been more than twenty-five years since Madonna made her rock-pop look ultra-popular with the world. small hats, piled on plastic rubber bracelets, and a plethora of neon jewelry---and now she's ready to make a 2010 fashion comeback along with her offspring Lourdes in tow, who's giving the Material Girl fashion line her own teen-aged seal of approval. Lourdes, or "Lola" as she is most affectionately called doesn't seem to be just lending her less- seasoned demographic identity to the brand. She's a girl who's going for the Material Girl vision in a hands-on kind of way. The young fashion designer wants people to know that she regularly meets with design teams to work on both their collection and blog . The new line will consist of apparel, footwear, handbags, and yes---of course, FASHION JEWELRY.

They're pulling out all the stops to promote the line, including hiring one of Gossip Girl's own Taylor Momsen pictured below in one of the shots taken for the Material Girl Ad campaign. BTW, that's Madonna crouched down showing the photographers how things should be done.

Taylor Momsen Photo

Below are a few photos of what Lola and Madge have been working so hard on. We're told that the jewelry pieces are made to be mixed and layered. Think pearls, plastics, and chunky metals.
