Marylin Manson's Super Hot Girlfreind Evan Rac...

Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson have been laying low for some time, so that you can imagine our surprise when they were snapped by shutterbugs leaving a Hollywood eaterie together yesterday evening. We completely spaced this odd pair is getting ready to be man and wife! And while the approaching wedding of these unusual lovebirds has left us a little confused, one thing is for sure - Wood's engagement band is a stunner. The star of the flick 13 - who's now only twenty-two years old - was spotted with a square-cut diamond on her ring finger. The beautiful gargantuan rock was placed in an antique setting. While many of us could find Manson a touch weird and weird, we don't like to judge their upcoming marriage promises. Actually Wood dished to Elle Mag back in 2007 about how head-over-heels she's for the surprising rocker. She described him as "beautiful, actually human and just fantastic. It may amaze you simply how healthy and loving our relationship is. ".

At last, the largest diamond in the world had found a worthy contender. Under preliminary forecasts of experts the weight of the new diamond-champion is one 1.5 kg.

The weight of the ex-champion Cullinan is 3106 carat (621.2 gr.). The diamond was named for Sir Thomas Cullinan, who had discovered the Premier in Transvaal three years earlier. The diamond amazes not only by its size but also its cleanliness, absence of mineral inclusions, cracks, and bubbles.

The Cullinan diamond was presented to the reigning British monarch, King Edward VII, in 1907. It's interesting that diamond represents a splinter (about 1/3 part) of larger diamond, but it haven't found till now.

The diamond was cut into 9 large stones and about 100 smaller ones by I.J. Asscher and Company of Amsterdam. The Cullinan diamond decorates the brow of the Imperial State Crown of Great Britain about one hundred years.

Nowadays, the 7000-carat diamond (1.5 kg) was found in the same country. Under armed guard the new diamond will be delivered in Johannesburg, the capital of the Republic of South Africa, where diamond will be determined its exact weight and the size with a help of special technical equipment.

What company possesses this precious find? It is not yet announced. However, during all last century the leadership in world production of diamonds belonged to giant De Beers who supervised about 65 % of all diamond market till now.

Today the Republic of South Africa takes fifth place in extraction of rough diamonds in the world, giving place only to Australia, Botswana, Russia and Congo.

Russia also does not giving in a diamond race. So, the diamond-mining company Alrosa has a quarter of world's diamond mining.

In the beginning of August a big deposit of rough diamonds was discovered in Yakutia. Russia's diamond giant Alrosa has discovered a big deposit of rough diamonds in Yakutia. The worth of its reserves is estimated at $3.5 billion. The deposit of such extent was last discovered in Yakutia ten years ago.

DiamondJewelries at the Oscar Award 2010


HOLLYWOOD Extraordinary robes and a huge number of greenbacks worth of jewelry lit up the Academy Awards red carpet here Sun. as superstars decided on outdated Hollywood glamor on Tinseltown's glitziest night of the year. A-listers sparkled and sparkled down the most famed runway in the world being inspired by the film screen itself as many of the chosen actresses chosen gowns in shades of platinum and silver.

Best Actress winner Sandra Bullock set the tone with an amazing silver beaded robe with classy train, 40's style make-up and smooth hair. Lady Helen Mirren also chose a dress of silvery tones by Badgley Mischka, this time in sequined tulle with diamond jewellery by Hollywood favourite, the French house of Chopard.

Kate Winslet, presenting this year, selected a structured strapless column dress in silvery tones by Yves St Laurent and the most stunning jewellery of the night : a pendant style necklace of emerald cut white and yellow diamonds by Tiffany with matching earrings and cuff said to be worth more than 2.5 million bucks. Kathryn Bigelow, the 1st girl in Oscars history to win the best director prize, wore an easy form fitting platinum column dress with bodice detailing.  

Sarah Jessica Parker wore a vanilla coloured silk duchess satin dress by Chanel Couture with weird silver elaborations at the neck and draped back selected, she revealed, as it was "just perfect".
 
Diane Kruger also selected Channel Couture in a sensational white chiffon halter neck dress with black details ; as gorgeous from the back as the front, kind of a relief for the militaries of photographers and fans catching merely a glance as the stars spin by. In a fifties-style gold beaded strapless robe, Cameron Diaz looked the pinnacle of glamour as did Amanda Seyfried in Armani Prive. Also in Armani Prive was Jennifer Lopez in a less than flattering structured strapless robe.

Other debatable decisions came from Mariah Carey who was virtually bursting out of her petrol blue Valentino semi-strapless robe threatening a wardrobe malfunction at any moment. Tom Ford, not surprisingly in his very own label tux, was sporting nearly as many diamonds as the actresses he followed. His shirt studs were each one or two carats worth of great princess cut diamonds and he wore an ideal gardenia in his lapel. Colin Firth was also in a Tom Ford tux with stunning art deco studs in what seemed to be like platinum and onyx and George Clooney, ever classy in his trusted Armani suit, also wore interesting studs ; these, he revealed, were "from my uncle". As usual, Penelope Cruz, looked amazing in deep red strapless pleated robe by Donna Karan with Chopard jewellery and feathered clutch. Sigourney Weaver also selected red in the shape of an one-shouldered chiffon robe with black belt.

Vera Farmiga, designated for her role in "Up In The Air," in a red dress by Marchesa that all but overwhelmed her miniscule frame with its rippling spirals of pleated silk. The more peculiar selections came from Carey Mulligan, nominated in the best supporting actress class, selected a black strapless dress by Prada covered with many small silver forks spoons and scissors and some blinding candelabrum earrings by Fred Leighton.

Asked what she's going to be doing when the award season is all over, she revealed "I'll be wearing pajamas each day and won't stop eating for a week!" Maggie Gyllenhaal selected an electrical blue strapless dress by Dried Wagon Noten, which about worked but for the bizarre make-up and fuchsia lip color. Maybe the sole surprise at this season's's Awards was something notable by its absence : Alexander McQueen, having been favored during the past by both Sandra Bullock and Sarah Jessica Parker among others, was missing from the red carpet.

Oscar Awards Jewelries



When the words, Oscar Red Carpet are related, one of the first photographs that comes to mind is fashion and jewelry. Jewelry trends usually alter on the red carpet from classic white diamonds, to colorful gemstones or assorted kinds of plush costume jewelry. "I think this year at the Academy Awards, as we typically see, it should be plenty of classic, old Hollywood glamour," foretells Francesca Ferrante from the Diamond Info Centre. "Whether its huge statement earrings or two bracelets layered together, the diamonds are going to be important but still that unsophisticated beauty that we see. Annually at the Academy Awards there's routinely 400 million dollars worth of diamond jewellery.

That is a lot of carats per star." Last year colourful jewelry made a statement when Angelina Jolie wore a long black strapless Elie Saab robe with long green earrings by Lorraine Schwartz.

This year, color is back. You can certainly see them on the red carpet in all forms - hanging earrings, giant bold rings, and button earrings. "One of the largest trends we're going to see on the red carpet is color. We have already seen give up a bit. We had Diane Kruger wearing Harry Winston at the SAG ( Screen Actors Guild ) Awards," related Lindsay Meyer from Building Communications. "Colour truly makes a piece pop. It can actually add to any outfit. Stars have constantly been keen on platinum. Platinum actually brings out the color. We're going to see a large amount of blues plenty of greens. There are some great options available from KWIAT.

They feature some dazzling vintage designs with sapphire and ruby." though diamonds are a fail-proof solution to any jewelry and accessory concern, many do not wish to trouble with the responsibility that comes with carrying millions of greenbacks worth of valuable gems on their bodies. The choice is to wear a splendid piece of costume jewellery. "That's right we're going to be seeing a large amount of stars wearing costume jewelry rather than real diamonds, because they will be able to. Because they do not want to be wearing a millions greenbacks worth of diamonds and worry that something occurs when they can just wear costume jewelry and be cushty that nothing is going to happen to the jewelry and they look good in it," explained Leah-Vail Soloff from Fingerprint Communications.

Early on in the year, the hot fashion guru, Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan opted to wear a huge piece of costume jewelry by Marni to the Cristic's Choice Awards. The countdown starts with less than one week till we know for certain, what the hottest trends will be re jewelry.
