Bachelor Pad Sparkle!!!
While Nick Peterson walked away with $250,000 from the Bachelor Pad 3 finale on Monday, Tony Pieper was also a big winner.
The single father and contestant of Bachelor Pad 3 proposed his fellow contestant Blakeley Shea Jones with a custom made diamond engagement ring.
Live in front of the entire team, studio audience and thousands of television viewers tony got on bended knee and popped the question with a 3.5 carat Neil Lane creation.
The details for the ring were shared by Wetpaint, according to which the proposal bling is worth approximately $100,000. Tony, before the finale, quietly flew to LA to pick the ring personally.
The ring is very substantial and gorgeous. ‘The main stone is square cut diamond with pave border and a double pave band. All in all, there’s about 3.5 carat of diamonds. Given its size and the fact that it’s a Neil Lane ring, I’d say it is worth at least $100,000. Maybe a little more.” told a diamond expert.
Tony had really taken the matter very seriously and his efforts paid off when during the Monday’s dramatic finale Blakeley said yes!
We even have the news that the newly engaged couple want to get married as soon as possible and she is moving in with Pieper and his son.
Reese Witherspoon’s exceptional Ashoka cut diamond ring
When Jim Toth proposed Reese Witherspoon over the holidays last year he was pretty sure that the answer was yes. And it was! After all who would say no to a lovely proposal when it is shining brightly in the form of Ashoka cut diamond engagement ring.
Reese’s custom-designed ring was an exceptional piece. It has a 4 carat Ashoka cut diamond set on a diamond encrusted platinum band. Jim‘s selection was par excellence as Ashoka cut diamonds are extremely rare.
Originated from 41.37 carat flawless D color Ashoka diamond, the cut is very unusual. It is a modified antique cushion cut with rounded corners and 62 facets in rectangular girdle that capture and disperse maximum light to create strong brilliance.
The cut is a patent of William Goldberg Diamond Corporation that custom-designed Reese’s engagement ring. According to the corporation only 10% of rough diamonds mined each year have the potential to be cut this way as it demands high color and more length.
The tremendous diamond cut is not very popular and the reason is clear – it’s rare and exotic and demands much care and attention. But is undoubtedly a magnificent sparkle for showing the serious sentiments in brilliant way.

The charming and glowing Kate has captured everyone’s heart when William and she declared their engagement.

Her infectious looks and perfectly matching jewelry were added a lot in her style.
Her rosy cheeks and lips became red with happiness when she visited St. Andrew’s with William where they first met during college days. Her red dress with diamond studs and smoky eyes have added a blush to her ecstatic looks.
And who can forget the Princess bride? The ivory bridal gown with floor sweeping veil became a topic of every talk. Her diamond jewelry including the tiara complemented her subtle look for the day.

During her official royal tour in Canada she conveyed high royal fashion waves. Her selection of clothing and accessories spoke about her careful observation and elite election according to events. She opted for a maple diamond brooch with violet dress for an evening function where as an unresisting combination of white and red with diamond studs and pendant was a lovely symbol of her royal visit to Canada.
Even more recently she went with a lace work evening gown for red carpet and it was another style statement of the Duchess.
We are hoping to have more and more classic and contemporary trends from the future queen.
