Precious Moments by Ritani

It seems that, this year, Alice won’t be the only one lost in a garden… given fashion’s focus on all things floral, women everywhere—from business executives to brides–will be channeling a garden theme. In ready-to-wear, there were sequined flowers, embroidered vines, the integration of natural materials computer-generated prints, psychedelic versions, bold interpretations and demure watercolors; in bridal gowns, expect both literal and subtle flower accents.

BCBG modernized the floral concept by releasing aquatic-like prints; DKNY mixed sequins and stripes to add edge to their pink and navy floral print; Diane von Furstenberg; Ralph Lauren featured floral prints that channeled an earthy, organic vibe. Among bridal designers, meanwhile, everyone from Kirstie Kelly to Peter Langner to Venus celebrated the trend with bold fabric flowers and floral inspiration in silhouettes.

A new design from the Floral by Ritani collection

Indeed, while floral themes are a classic, this year isn’t any old-school walk in the, errr… garden. We know: the general idea of integrating florals into your wardrobe can seem a bit daunting. Yet these interpretations make it easy. See celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller and Leighton Meester, who have mastered the art of the floral; along with the likes of Mariah Carey, Mylie Cyrus and Maggie Gyllenhaal, who favored floral inspired jewels at the Oscars this month.

So, how to bring these flowers home to your own wardrobe? Well, whether you go for bold or understated floral fashion, you can accessorize with diamond jewels and engagement rings that are perfectly on-trend, yet so beautifully subtle in design that they will last a lifetime: Floral by Ritani.

On Monday while dining out at the Little Door restaurant in LA, Tara Reid received what we thought she already got.  Michael proposed to her over dinner and she happily accepted.  She has been dating Michael Axtman, an internet entrepreneur, for about a year, and was seen wearing a very large pink diamond engagement ring while on vacation in St. Tropez in the fall.  Apparently this was not an engagement ring.

This is very good news for the starlet and possibly good timing for a Playboy issue coming out soon with her as the feature.  Either way congratulations!  This is her second attempt at marriage as she was engaged for a time to Carson Daly in 2001.

Sources who represent Reid say that she received a “beautiful round brilliant cut diamond engagement ring.  Tara was so happy and the other patrons (in the restaurant) clapped and yelled Congratulations” to the newly engaged couple.  They are planning a summer wedding but no date has been set yet.  I will keep an eye out for the engagement ring pictures.

‘Tis the season for engagement announcements!  I’m sure more will follow leading up to Valentine’s Day.

While on a modeling job in the Caribbean, on the private island of Mustique, and celebrating her 36th birthday, Kate Moss had a pleasant surprise.  Her boyfriend since 2007 asked her to stay where she was until he arrived.  This was alone a great treat for her as their schedules keep them apart often.

Jamie Hince of The Kills, had presented her with a diamond engagement ring and proposed to her in the paradise setting.  He had some help from Sir Philip Green, her boss at Topshop, to choose the perfect diamond engagement ring to present to her.

What kind of diamond engagement ring would be befitting a supermodel like Kate Moss?  I will be keeping my eyes peeled for the pictures.  I hope this engagement holds water and it actually results in exchanging wedding bands.  We will really just have to see.

In Hollywood rumors are always flying about couples hooking up and breaking up.  Recently we have been hearing a few near-proposal rumors.

It’s being said that on-again off-again couple Megan Fox and Brian Austin-Green are on-again and may have re-ignited their engagement.  While tweeting over the weekend, Brian was asked about his marital status and he said, “Engaged and have a son from my previous relationship.”  He then indicated he was sitting next to Megan at the time.  So to deduce they are engaged.  Where is this diamond engagement ring??  I will keep a lookout but if I were her I wouldn’t confirm these rumors without flashing that engagement ring.

At the Golden Globes, George Clooney was holding tight to his squeeze Elisabetta Canalis.  He made sure to include her in all of his red carpet interviews and even held the umbrella over her while he got soaked.  What a gentleman!  Anyway, he has been heard saying she’s “the one”.  He has also been quoted as saying he is a fan of marriage….in the movies.  So who knows if they may not make it official but still be exclusive.  George is a rogue spirit and it’s hard to see him conforming to the usual formalities of relationships.  This is another one we will have to keep a lookout for the diamond engagement ring to know if it is for real!

While vacationing in Jaipur, India (as a Christmas gift to her) Russell proposed marriage to Katy and she accepted.  There were rumors circulating before the holidays, but both parties’ PR people have confirmed the engagement on Wednesday.  Katy had mentioned to Russell how much she loved the Indian culture so he thought it was the perfect surprise getaway and opportunity to pop the question.

While they were touring the city, they stopped by the Taj Mahal and She Tweeted “He built this for me.”  She then likened herself to Alanis Morrisette in the “Thank You” video saying “So when do I start walking the streets naked singing that Alanis song?”  How exciting, and what a place to give your special girl an engagement ring!

What a great story about two love crazy people who really feel like they have found their true match!  I wish them happiness and longevity for a lifetime together, and to overcome the strife that the stars must endure when dating someone who is also famous.

Still no pictures of the ring, but I will keep an eye out.  I am really interested in the type of designer engagement ring Russell chose for Katy.  It has to be stunning to be worn by an already stunning lady!

As the year comes to a close many companies and newsies are creating Top 10 or Top 50 lists of the year for various industries and trends.  As these lists were compiled RITANI has been noted and given some great press about their line.

INDESIGN magazine, a trade book for the jewelry community, has mentioned RITANI as # 16 of the Americas Top 50 Most Visible Jewelry Brands of 2009.  RITANI has really gotten their brand out there this year with multiple ads being featured in publications like ELLE, Marie Claire, and InStyle to name a few.  ELLE Magazine in particular has featured RITANI in 8 out of their 12 Issues.  Even with the difficult times that brands have had to endure this year, RITANI has stayed abreast of their advertising, as it’s necessary to stay current to keep afloat.

United Brands LLC out of Beverly Hills, CA has put together their rankings of the jewelry, watch and diamond brands.  RITANI has been named # 10 of the Top 10 Jewelry Brands in the bridal category.  That is just another example of how relevant this company is in the cutting edge world of diamond engagement rings and jewelry.  In my opinion this is a great honor considering Beverly Hills is about the highest echelon in the market of luxury goods, and I see it as a great recognition for the company and the brand.

Check out RITANI’s website to see the wide array of styles and designs for every taste in engagement rings and bridal jewelry.  If you’re looking for the best in technological innovation and classic old world jewel setting techniques look no further that RITANI, you are sure to find what you are seeking.

The pop star Katy Perry has been seen with Russell Brand quite a lot since they met on the VMA’s this October.  The two have been spotted all over Hollywood and London together, at the usual celebrity hot spots.  This weekend in London Russell was seen shopping at a famous designers‘ shop looking at diamond engagement rings.  One on-looker noticed Russell’s attention for a large square cut diamond ring and seemed to be deep in thought in regards to it.

I think this is a very interesting love match and maybe a great one at that.  She is very fun loving and high spirited which seems to have given Russell a new outlook on his life.  He has admittedly been a womanizer until he met Katy.  He has recently met Katy’s parents and they actually seem to approve of him for their daughter.

Sorry guys, if this is true, another beauty is off the market.  We will have to wait and see how this pans out, hopefully by the New Year we will have an official announcement.  I’ll keep you posted, with photos of the engagement ring hopefully.
