The women of ABC’s daytime talk show, ‘The View‘, broadcasted ‘A Royal Wedding Special’ episode devoted to the highly anticipated wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William.  Barbara Walters herself reported on the spectacular event live from London, while the rest of the ladies donned their own royal toppers in NYC for the fancy event.  Even though movie star Goldie Hawn filled in for Babs during the special, the biggest guest star of all was the Emitations Inspired by Kate Middleton ring.

The beautiful sterling silver faux sapphire ring was one of the many princess inspired looks presented by Zanna Roberts Rossi, Senior Fashion Editor at Marie Claire Magazine.  Featuring some of Kate’s most famous and glamorous looks, the gals were inspired to have a royal wedding runway show of their own.  The hosts surprised the audience, and sent each woman home with her very own Inspired Kate Middleton engagement ring, courtesy of Emitations.

“Sales on Emitations.com initially spiked 400% following the announcement (of the royal engagement), and recently spiked to the highest levels since Christmas. About a 400% increase since two weeks ago, (Emitations.com owner) Mai expects this to continue for another few weeks, although perhaps not at the same rate,” says MediaPost.com.

There’s no doubt that having a baby is a task worthy of a reward. If a kiss or nice bouquet of flowers won’t do, most mothers accept their new bundle of joy as their gift. But nowadays, many husbands are expected to buy expensive presents to thank their wives for dealing with pregnancy and “pushing” through labor.

These “push presents” are the latest gift-giving occasion, and just one more for men to add to their list — along with Valentine’s Day, birthdays, holidays and the all-important anniversary. Typically, these push presents arrive in the form of jewelry, and are very popular among celebrities.

So when it comes time for a push present for celeb stylist, reality star, and new mommy Rachel Zoe, what do you get the girl who has everything? After the couple welcomed their first son, Skyler Morrison Bermann in March 2011, the proud papa marked the occasion by giving his wife a huge piece of bling.  Rachel’s hubby Rodger Bermann went big in the form of a 10 carat cushion-cut Neil Lane diamond ring.

“Rodger wanted to surprise Rachel with something romantic – and huge,” the jeweler told People magazine. “It was her first baby and she’s been working so hard that Rodger wanted to do something very special.” The ten carat stunner features a diamond covered split band on either side of the center stone, giving the ring tons of sparkle.

Zoe, a self-proclaimed accessories addict, has a vast collection of vintage and modern jewels. So what did Rachel think of her new extravagant diamond gift? According to Lane, the new mom was “thrilled and hasn’t taken it off since!”

Adorable baby Skyler weighed in at 6 pounds 12 ounces, which means the push present came out to more than a carat a pound!  Surely Rachel loves her new bauble almost as much as her bundle of joy. After all, any fashionista knows that a ten carat diamond is the perfect accessory to wear while changing a poopy diaper…

With prom only weeks away, adding last minute touches to your final look comes down to one thing: accessories.  We’re not talking about a modest silver band or a subtle pair of hoops.  This prom season’s hottest looks all include short dresses and most importantly, a major amount of bling.

“The hot trend for this season is definitely ‘sparkly’….It’s not about having the perfect pink that matches that dress, it’s about having a contrast.  It’s all about wearing big rings and lots of them,” says Seventeen Magazine.  Every girl wants to feel like a goddess at their prom and what better way to make a statement than to rock a stunning, blinged-out ring, bracelet or necklace?

Dancing the night away with your prom date may get a little dangerous, so take precaution.  It’s important that every prom goddess exits the dance with the same amount of accessories that she entered with.  This prom season, you want to find a fabulous pair of earrings

that won’t fly off while raising the roof to Katy Perry’s “Firework”, only to find themselves stuck in someone else’s corsage at the end of the night.

Hollywood’s celebrity starlets are also inspiring the hottest looks for this year’s prom.  The hit TV show Glee’s Jayma Mays features her character “Emma” rocking a bold, yellow flower ring.  Pop princess Katy Perry was seen wearing a similar pink flower ring on an MTV photo shoot.  Emitations offers a similar, stunning flower ring in yellow at a fraction of the price.  Getting your favorite celebrity inspired look doesn’t have to cost you two months worth of allowance.

Check out our new prom jewelry page to complete the look for you big night!
