The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, wore a fabulous diamond necklace on her 60th birthday that was lent to her by the Queen herself.




The diamond necklace which is a part of the royal collection was given as a coronation present to Queen Elizabeth, the late Queen mother, in 1937.

Camilla celebrated her 60th birthday on Saturday with over 150 guests at Highgrove.




She paired the exquisite piece of jewellery with a cream silk organza dress created by Anna Valentine.Husband Prince Charles chose an even more interesting birthday gift for his wife when he presented her with a ram and an ewe!




Prince Harry who is currently on holiday with girlfriend Chelsea Davy was unable to attend the event. I wonder if that was intentional?




However the guest that most interested the media was Kate Middleton whose appearance at the ball indicated that she and William were truly back together after their split in April.




The 25-year-old fashion buyer wore a stunning full length white dress at the ball and stayed close to the Prince throughout the occasion, according to the Sun.

Blood Diamonds

The other night, I finally watched Blood Diamonds. It was a fantastic film which really opened my eyes to another world.

I found it very moving and emotional and you do start questioning where your jewellery comes from in the hope that you havent contributed to such devastation.

I often see the news and hear it when it talks about parts of Africa where Rebels have entered here and Rebels have done this, but never really understood it or more like paid attention to it. Regardless of colour, religion, race or nationality noone should be treated like this in this day and age, however it does continue whether its about diamonds, oil or anything else.

If you have seen the film, and it has made you think twice about buying diamonds, then what I can tell you is to make sure you buy through a member of The British Jewellers Association

All members of the British Jewellers Association are bound by a Code of Ethics which requires them to seek a warranty as to the provenance of their diamonds from their suppliers and to pass this on to the retailers they supply, explains BJA chief executive, Geoff Field. This warranty is the retailers and the consumers assurance that steps are being taken by the UK jewellery trade to eliminate any diamonds that cannot be proven to have come from a regulated source.

Chantelle & Preston


More break-ups, Chantelle & Preston announced they split up the other day. What a shame, it really was a dream come true romance.

I thought they made a really sweet couple and like the title of her book, she really was "Living the Dream", well maybe dreams are better left in our heads, whilst sleeping.

No reason really for the break-up, noone else involved, just too much pressure on the relationship, caused by press, etc etc.

They have been spotted together and there is hope that maybe the two will get back together, but they say they they are still good friends and will remain friends.

Lets see if they are still friends once divorce proceedings start and they both want the cake and not just a slice of it!

Mel B´s Engagement Ring



Mel B is in the news all the time at the moment. I was completely surprised today when I heard she was getting married....to who?????




Shes only just had a baby by Mr Eddie Murphy, which still seems abit unreal just because he was such a huge star - Beverly Hills Cop. But after a paternity test, its proof he is the father.




However, she is with someone else and has been since her and Eddie split up. Her boyfriend Stephen Belafonte a Holywood Producer.


Is no-one content with just living with each other for a while and seeing how things?


I wonder what wedding number 2 will be like? What will the engagement ring look like?

Chris Evans & Natasha Shishmanian Engagement Ring


So its Marriage number 3 for Chris Evans. He is getting married to Natasha Shishmanian (what a fantastic name) who is just 28 years old golfer and writer.

He proposed to her near where I was recently on holiday where I saw all the footballers including Alan Shearer in Quinta Do Lago, Portugal.

Chris was deciding whether to allow a magazine to do their wedding and donate it all to charity...personally, after reading Jordans Book about her wedding, I would say "DONT DO IT". I was stressed just reading about it, you dont get to enjoy your own wedding. Chris you have enough money to make your own wedding and donate to charity!



So Chris First wife was Carol McGiffen (pictured below) from Loose Women, and people are saying that Natasha looks like a younger version of Carol. Then Chris married Billie Piper in a wirlwind romance which only lasted about 3 years.

Victoria Beckham, Coming to America



I had to watch Victoria Beckham, Coming to America last night, even though I had heard how bad it was!

I must say, I was cringing at some of it, but, when you realise that she is only taking the "Pxxx" its actually quite funny.

The funniest bit was the earthquake van....for those of you who didnt see it, basically there is a big mobile home for people to practice what they are going to do in the event of a earthquake, it was hilarious absolutely one of the funiest things I have seen on telly in a while.

Most of it was so set up, and every so often Victoria went into her American Twang, but the accent is so strong, its hard not to pick it up.

Nearly all the way through she wore her diamond studd earrings and then every so often she wore a huge yellow/greeny colour square stone ring.

Then she fancied getting a bit of retail therapy, and went shoping to buy David a Watch from Chopard. As if he probably hasnt got enough....just too much money!


All she kept going on about was her heels and that she will never ever wear flats. It was getting a bit boring in the end.

But on the whole, I think many people dont get her sense of humour, especially the Americans, just like we dont really get theirs.

I thought I liked Victoria with short hair, but I now think I prefer it a little longer, she seems abit more looser with longer hair, quite uptight and stuck up with short hair.

Come on Victoria, let yourself go and be seen smiling wearing trainers and joggers....thats all people want! You´ll still look fantastic.

Also in OK Magazine last week was an interview with Elizabeth Hurley.

She says how happy is is married to Arun.

You can tell that Elizabeth loves diamonds, she cant get enough of them in her photo shoot.

In one picture she is wearing a beautiful heart diamond necklace with hearts all around and then 1 bigger one.

Then in another picture she is wearing a stunning diamond collar necklace with matching bracelet.







She said she loved wearing diamonds with jeans as much as she loves wearing them with a big dress, and so she should!

She also shows off a collection from Chopard.

Steven Gerrard & Alex Currans Wedding Jewellery


I had to wait for the exclusive pictures in OK Magazine to see what dress and Diamond Jewellery Alex Curran was wearing.

The dress was beautiful, designed by Elie Saab was made with metres and metres of satin and tulle and 19,000 crystals. Thats a lot of crysta.s


Her Engagement ring was very similar to this one



And she wore some beautiful large diamonds studs.

Anthea Turner Diamond Earrings


I have an awful cold at the moment, infact, I feel Ive been unwell for months. I have so much to do, but last night I did nothing but veg in front of the telly.

I watched Anthea Turner, "How to be the perfect housewife" which of course I am already!!! Anthea wears the strangest clothes sometimes. She was wearing jeans with a corduroy skirt on top, it looked really stupid. The only thing that didnt look stupid were some huge Diamond Stud Earrings and matching pendent.

Then we watched about Cherie Blair. She really has had a hard time with the press, when I think shes actually really nice.

Regardless of whether Tony Blair was right or wrong in some of his decissions, you could picture yourself sitting down with Tony and Cherie for dinner and probably having quite a laugh. Bit more than say with Magaret Thatcher or John Major. They are really just normal people who happened to be Prime Minister.

Concert for Diana - Jewellery


The concert yesterday for Dianas Birthday arranged by Prince Harry and William was...

AMAZING.

I just wished i could have watched every single minute of it, but I couldnt, but the snippets that I did was was incredible

The Bling Bling was everywhere and lots of huge jewellery.

Joss Stone, who I think is a fantastic singer, not too sure on her accent at the moment though. But she was wearing a huge lilac ring. When she sang with Tom Jones, you realise just how great to she is.

Sienna Miller wore a huge, once again, looked like sapphire and diamond ring with massive black earrings.

Natasha Bedingfield, another fantastic singer, wore a white dress and white shoes with a lovely big chunky ring with lots of large pearl balls within an antique style ring.

Kat Deeley was covered in Jewelry. Lots and lots of gold bangles all the way up her arm, large hoop earrings and huge rings again, looked like Sapphire and Diamonds again like Sienna´s.

P Diddy, who was amazing singing "Ill be missing you" shouting to the Princes, we love you man, we respect you...how cool. P Diddy didnt let us down, he wore his diamond studd earrings.

Kayne West, what a talented guy, I didnt think I knew who he was until he started playing all his music, you cannot keep you head still.

Elton John, won it for the diamonds. He had EJ written in Diamontes, or maybe real diamonds on his glasses.

David Beckham had a very large diamond looking ring on, wasnt too sure on the blond hair with brown beard though! Gorgeous anyway.

It really was one of the best concerts I have seen, it was so great seeing the young royals enjoying themselves just being normal people.
