Let’s face it, music makes everything better. Whether listening on the train on your way to work, sitting at your desk or setting the perfect mood at a cocktail party, music provides the quintessential accompaniment. Pandora, which is “the” online music source, allows you to listen to all of the music you want until you’re heart’s content. By choosing a particular song or artist, Pandora will create a station based on the style that you have selected. What better way to listen to the music you love while also being introduced to new songs and artists?! In between songs, Pandora plays brief commercials that are specific to you as a listener. Each commercial presents an offer unique to Pandora listeners provided by the vendor. Ritani, the leading designer of engagement rings, wedding bands and diamond fashion jewelry, can now be heard on Pandora with a special offer specifically for Pandora listeners in the Oklahoma City, Richmond, VA and Lexington, KY and Raleigh-Durham, NC markets.

Thanks to AMC’s Mad Men television series it seems that not only is the series plot line on everyone’s lips but the series fashion is also on everyone’s hips. According to McClatchy Newspapers, the wildly popular show has helped fuel a remergence of swanky early-60’s attire: think hourglass dresses, kitten-heels, peter pan collars, floral sheaths and Jackie O inspired ensembles.
The classic Mad Men fashions, and the resulting modern-day interpretations of them, demand diamond jewelry accents. An hourglass dress or a Jackie O-esque sheath pairs perfectly with a classic bracelet such as the ‘Endless Love’ O-pattern bracelet. Or, try these 18kt white gold earrings that can add a burst of color to your demure kitten heels. The peter pan collars that are all the rage right now on the show are perfectly suited for simple diamond stud earrings like these ‘Endless Love‘ sapphire stud earrings. Finally, for those of you who love the style of the gorgeous January Jones’, her character, Betty, is known for her floral dresses, which, in present-day variations are perfectly accessorized with any of the earrings or pendants featured in RITANI’S Floral Collection.

What better way to usher in Fall 2010 than to stand tall and embrace the season’s menswear inspired fashion trend. Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney are among the designers celebrating masculine shapes interpreting them to create powerful and sophisticated silhouettes for women this autumn. These decidedly testosterone-driven looks are perfectly complemented by the subtle feminine accessory: diamond jewelry.
Hexangonal Diamond Stud Earrings by Endless Love Collection
Stella McCartney and Vera Wang showed clean shapes that would require women to sport either a sleek, streamlined earring or simple pendant, like these drop earrings from the Endless Love Collection. For a touch more femininity, the Floral by Ritani pendant with a round centerstone and micropave diamonds on the outside will be the ultimate finishing touch.
Get your sneakers on, because it’s diamond dash season for Ritani and Fink’s Jewelers. In just a span of one week, Fink’s Jewelers is sponsoring diamond dashes in Roanoke and Richmond, Virginia. A diamond dash is a modern day treasure hunt, where teams of couples receive clues in ‘scavenger hunt’ style and compete in the respective downtown areas for a $15,000 dollar ring. Teams receive clues via text message on their cell phones, answering each clue by traveling to the next destination, where they receive their next hint as to the possible location of the ring.
Tonight, season 2 of the out-of-nowhere phenomenon Jersey Shore premieres on MTV tonight. This show is already out of control…I guess it’s ok to keep the title “Jersey Shore” even though the episodes will be taking place in Miami for season 2. As a New Jersey resident, I think I speak for a majority of NJ when I say we don’t want to associated with these stubborn, fist pumpin juice heads, no talent clowns who can’t understand that their just prolonging their 15 minutes of fame…and trust me, it’s been a long 15 minutes.
However, we can’t overlook the fact that they have become celebrities in a way…I’m sure you reach some type of status when the President of the U.S. mentions you by name. But WHY have they become so popular? Being sponsored by MTV doesn’t help, but could it be because they appear to be wearing Ritani jewelry? Definitely doesn’t hurt. Snooki and the gang flash a good amount of jewelry int he show. Like their necklaces or earrings? Check out Ritani’s versions by clicking here
