Stone Lust: Victoria Beckham’s Giant Sapphire Ring!

Victoria Beckham is one of the most stylish forward women in Hollywood. Never one to shy away from extravagant fashion, she is known for her heels as much as her jewelry. The lucky lady also has a husband who indulges her when it comes to serious rocks, and her giant sapphire ring is no different. 

Perfectly suited for Beckham’s taste the ring is extraordinary beautiful, simply stunning. So much so that I had to make it my new Stone Lust. She has worn the ring on several occasions, and on the red carpet, and the ring is always talked about. I found it when I was doing research of the new sapphire engagement ring craze that has taken over, and my jaw dropped.

Although I was not surprised that someone like Beckham would have something so lavish and gorgeous it still makes me blink twice, and to think she was ahead of the curve with the saphire craze! This Beckham’s got a great eye: hot husband, fun clothes, lavish shoes and an intense jewelry collection, but for me, that ring is what takes all!

Three of the Most Expensive Weddings

We don’t all have so much cash to blow on extravagant weddings…but most Hollywood stars do!  Maybe you can take some tips from some of Hollywood’s rich and famous,producing your very own fairytale wedding for a fraction of the price.  After you get those engagement and wedding rings all set, perhaps from the Tacori collection, then get set to produce the best wedding possible, just like the stars.

Liza Minnelli and David Gest wedding Holding the title for one of the most expensive recorded Hollywood weddings is the wedding between Liza Minnelli and David Gest. Their decadent wedding came at a cost of $3.5 million and featured Michael Jackson as Best Man and Elizabeth Taylor as Maid of Honor. Celebrities who attended included Diana Ross, Mia Farrow, and Lauren Bacall and Tony Bennett entertained VIP guests with a sixty-piece back-up orchestra. Guests feasted on a 12-tier wedding cake and were also given personalized favors in satin-covered candy boxes that read “Liza and David 4 Ever”. The couple divorced a year later, amidst allegations that Minnelli would beat Gest in drunken rampages.
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren wedding Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren. Before there were any mistress allegations, this couple were in love and ready to tie the knot at the exclusive Sandy Lane Resort in Barbados. Woods actually rented the entire hotel and the island’s only helicopter charter company to ensure maximum privacy. Among the 120 guests were basketball all-stars Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. And Woods pulled out all the stops with the after-party, which included a huge fireworks display and entertainment by Hootie and the Blowfish.
Victoria and David Beckham Victoria and David Beckham. Forbes Magazine reported a pricetag merger was a cool $800,000 for this mogul merger. The all-star pair wanted to appear as the King and Queen over the evening–and of course their wish was granted. Posh wore a tight-fitting ivory silk gown with a twenty-foot train and a gold diamond-encrusted tiara. Like Woods extravagant wedding, the Beckhams had a fireworks display and musical entertainment, this time by icon Elton John.

How Stars Say I Love You For Valentine’s Day

This coming Valentine’s Day you may want to take a few pointers from the celebrity world.  From Fergie and Josh to Posh and becks to Brad and Kimberly, all the stars have their own way of showing their significant other how much they care.

Buy Her a Huge Ring! Soccer superstar David Beckham proposed to wife Victoria Beckham in 1998, surprising her with an enormous $65,000 diamond 3-carat solitaire engagement ring.  In return, Victoria bought an extravagant $80,000 diamond ring for her man. Maybe diamond rings are the new box of chocolates?

Write your loved-one a song!  Hot country singer Brad Paisley did just that, inspired by wife, actress Kimberly Williams.  After seeing Kimberly in Father of the Bride, he was inspired enough by her to write segments about her in his hit album, Part II.  He later featured Williams on the sweet country song, “Little Moments”.

Propose to Her On-stage!   Country legend Garth Brooks gave a welcome surprise to longtime girlfriend Trisha Yearwood at a sold-out show in California in 2005.  Yearwood may have been a bit more than anxious as she was seen wiping tears away after Brooks got down on one knee.

Tweet to Your Lover! In today’s inter-connected world, many celebs just can’t stay off applications like Facebook and Twitter.  Celebrity Twitter power couple Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher sometimes Tweet suggestive pictures to each other, including one where she wrote on her hands and chest, “Bed time?”

Renew Your Vows!  There’s no time like Valentine’s Day to tell your loved one how committed you are to them…again.  Only a year after their star-studded malibu wedding, celeb couple Fergie and Josh Duhamel renewed their vows in Santa Barbara, California.  “We want to do it every year.”  Duhamel said.

Posh: “I’m Not a Supermodel”

Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) tries hard.  Really hard.  The super-skinny 5’4” former Spice Girl and wife of soccer all-star David Beckham, who seems to never go anywhere without her stilletoes is reported to desperately want to get onto the cover of Vogue.  But Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour isn’t having it.  Amongst friends, Posh is said to have tried everything to get the Vogue Editor’s attention.  But the Devil Wears Prada prototype isn’t having it.  Case in Point: March’s Vogue cover will feature comedian and 30 Rock star, Tina Fey.   Which must have stick-thin, pose-hard Victoria seething.

But March’s issue of Glamour will see Victoria on the cover.  Posh tells Glamour:  “I love fashion, that’s how I express myself.”  And she loves to express herself in expensive ways.  The working mom sports a three-carat marquis-cut diamond engagement ring highlighted by baguette diamonds on either side and firmly embedded into the gold setting.  For example.

She goes on to confess to Glamour: “When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it’s not to get attention.  I’m not a supermodel.  I make the best of what I’ve got.  I work out to look the best that I can, but I’m no Gisele.”  She may be no Gisele, but who needs another supermodel when you have a celebrity as serious about wearing stilletoes as Posh.
