With Kim Kardashian’s fabulous wedding only days away, what better way to end this summer with a bang than to show off your very own Kim Kardashian Inspired Engagement Ring!  We’ve kept up with this Kardashian ever since the big announcement of her engagement to Kris Humphries, just months ago in May.  Even though we all can’t have our own NBA player-prince charming sweep us off our feet, Emitations still wants you to show off your one-of-a-kind glam with our very own Kim Kardashian style CZ diamond engagement ring!

As we’ve seen in the media, Kim Kardashian is known to rock both fierce, glamorous style on red carpet, as well as softer, more chic looks when strutting down Rodeo Drive.  We’ve brought you not one, but two versions of this gorgeous engagement ring, that reflect both sides of our girl Kim K.  All of our Emitations glam goddesses can rock the Kim Kardashian look which best fits them!

For our big and bold diamond ring lovers, our 20 carat Kim Kardashian Inspired Engagement Ring definitely resembles the awesome shimmer and shine that Kim’s flaunted in the tabloids these past few months.  This CZ stunner features a whopping emerald cut center stone, just like Kim’s, along with two sparkling side stones secured by a beautiful sterling silver double pronged setting.  Dazzling round cut cubic zirconia diamonds surround the center stone, giving off that extra luster that Kim flaunts every day.

For the everyday glam goddess who prefers the same Kim K style, but with a more subtle sparkle, our Kim Kardashian Inspired Engagement Ring – Petite is the perfect addition your glam look!  We’ve channeled the same fabulous shine of our 20 carat Kim Kardashian ring into a gorgeous 5 carat petite-three stone CZ engagement ring.  The breath-taking double prong setting and two gorgeous clear CZ baguette diamonds on both sides of the center stone make this a knock out!

He was a football quarter back, and she was a beauty pageant star.  After dating country singer Carrie Underwood, and his much publicized relationship with pop star Jessica Simpson, NFL Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo proposed to the lower key Candice Crawford.  Dating all fun loving – all American blondes, Tony definitely knew his type, but felt an even greater connection with Candice.

Candice majored in both journalism and business at the University of Missouri.  During her time there, she competed regularly eventually winning the Missouri Miss USA pageant and placing top ten in the Miss USA pageant.  While in Columbia, Missouri, Candice also worked with the local NBC affiliate KOMU-TV as a reporter, as well as the the CBS afilliate KTVT which often covered the Dallas Cowboys.  Tony reported that he fell for the beauty pageant star and future anchor by saying, “She’s just down to earth and has a good heart. She gets along with anybody and anytime you meet her you can’t help but just enjoy being in her company.”

After the proposal, the couple both took the time to plan the wedding of their dreams, and hired celebrity wedding planner Todd Fiscus to do the job.  When asked how Candice felt about the wedding and her dress she said, “It’s one of those things you look forward to when you were five. I haven’t even had the big meeting with designers to show me all the stuff so they’re kind of concocting something in their heads and I’m sure they’re going to make it way beyond anything I could think of.”

The big day took place in Dallas, Texas on May 28^th,  and Tony and Candice’s wedding proved to be being bigger both of them have every dreamed of and more as their wedding video trailer that leaked on the internet showed.  Complete with high-quality editing, a wedding cake almost as tall as the ceiling, a gorgeous custom-made wedding dress, and a glamorous reception, the wedding appears to be nothing short of a fairytale. We were also swooned when Tony Romo romantically said within his vows to Candice,“”I always dreamed of who my wife would be, what she would look like. What her personality would be. Standing with you at this moment. I’ve never more sure about anything in my life.” And this is only the movie trailer – goes to show that everything is bigger in Texas!

Within the wedding movie trailer is a shot of Candice Crawford’s stunning engagement ring. The celebrity ring is a dazzling, traditional princess cut diamond alongside smaller glittering diamond within the band.   You can get Candice’s fairytale wedding look even if you don’t have a NFL fiancé with Clarise’s Engagement Ring. Have the celebrity engagement ring of your dreams without the price exclusively from Emitations!

This past week, the Duke and Dutchess of Cambridge, William and Kate Middleton, made headlines at the 10th Annual Absolute Return for Kids charity gala. This was the couple’s very first official public appearance, since their fairy tale royal wedding in April. Nonetheless, Kate Middleton looked as stunning as ever. A-List stars flocked to Kensington Palace for the event in London, England.

The new Dutchess of Cambridge sat next to Prince Pavlos of Greece, while her husband Prince William sat nestled between Marle Chantal of Greece and Debbie Van Bismarck. Even though Middleton wasn’t seated next to William, Kate still stole the spotlight, wearing a ravishing rose-colored, silk tulle gown, exclusively from British designer Jenny Packham’s 2011 collection, complete with Swarovski crystal and sequin beading. Kate completed her look with a matching pair of rose-colored heels, by L.K. Bennett, along with a pair of gorgeous drop earrings. Get Kate’s A-List look with Frangiska’s Faux Pearl Bridal Earrings, only by Emitations.

Some of the world’s heavy hitters donated some serious cash to the program. Entrance to the event alone cost $16,000. Other celebrity attendees included Liz Hurley, Colin Firth, and Kevin Spacey to name a few. The Absolute Return for Kids (ARK) charity event raised more money than ever (a whopping $28.1 million dollars), which delivers health, education, and child protection programs to children all over the globe.  Check out all of our sterling silver jewelry at Emitations!

The Kardashian family is no stranger to stunning style, and the middle sister is famous for more than her voluptuous rear end. Last week, 30 year old Kim Kardashian accepted a whopping 20.5 carat diamond engagement ring from her basketball beau of 6 months.

So what does Kim think of her new diamond duds? “In high school I went to Macy’s and bought this fake ring, my ‘perfect’ ring, and this is almost the exact same,” she says about the gem fiancé Kris Humphries designed with jeweler to the stars Lorraine Schwartz. The groom-to-be let the expert handle the majority of the design elements, and had only one simple request, “I just knew I wanted it to be big!” he said. Well, mission accomplished!

Kim Kardashian’s Engagement Ring is nothing short of spectacular. She gushed, “It’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” of the emerald cut ring. “It’s perfect.” The 16.5 carat emerald cut center stone is flanked by a pair of unique 2 carat trapezoid diamonds, for a TCW of 20.5 carats! Yes, you read that right: almost 21 carats! Just to shine some light on what kind of bauble we’re dealing with here, it surpasses that of even the royal duchess herself. Prince William’s bride, Kate Middleton’s massive sapphire engagement ring clocks in at a mere 18 carats. That is some serious bling!

The rivaling sisters will now have something else to compete for, the glory of their NBA hubbies! Taking inspiration from her little sister Khloe, who married Lakers star Lamar Odom last year, reality TV star Kim said she “can’t wait” to wed New Jersey Nets forward, Humphries.

Crazy about Kardashian engagement rings? You don’t need to marry a professional athlete to snag this kind of bling – steal Kim’s stunner style for less with our imitation version!

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…

Since the engagement of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, the classic diamond engagement ring look has been replaced by the elegant blue sapphire. A favorite of royalty, this gemstone reportedly contains special powers, and is considered a symbol of sincerity and truth. There is no doubt that sapphires hold a beauty and sophistication unparalleled by other gemstones. What makes sapphires so unique? How can we achieve this pricey look for less?  Emitations has gathered amazing imitation sapphires that will make you look like you belong in a palace!

Sapphires fall into the corundum family of gemstones. Corundum (a gemstone term form aluminum and oxygen) is second only to diamond in hardness, and sapphires are the birthstone for the month of September. Sapphires are naturally found in over 20 countries around the world, including the United States.

While most people associate sapphires with the color blue, real sapphires are available in a rainbow of colors. Natural blue sapphires range in color from pale to dark blue, bluish green, and violet blue, but sapphires also come in yellow, brown, reddish orange, opaque black and pink - every color except for red. Red corundum is called a ruby.  Gemologists typically prefer a blue sapphire with a darker, deeper tone, because in lighter tones the natural inclusions are more noticeable. Generally, the clearer and more vivid the color, the more valuable the sapphire.

If you’re  looking for a quality imitation blue sapphire, try to get the color closest to the real deal. Good faux blue sapphires are a deep saturated blue or violet-blue with a even tone. Lighter blue imitation sapphires can be just as lovely, if properly made. Gem experts believe that darker stones in a rich deep blue look more believable than their paler counterparts.

Quality faux sapphires have the same look as natural sapphires, but there are a few subtle differences:

• A naturally produced sapphire will have some flaws in it. A synthetically produced one will not have defined flaws or inclusions

• The color of a fake sapphire will be more uniform than the irregular color of a natural sapphire

• Fake sapphires cost significantly less than their natural counterpart, making them an affordable luxury accessory

Buyer beware! Not all companies have high standards when it comes to selling fake sapphires. Here’s a few warning signs that may tell you to look elsewhere for your faux blue bauble:

• A fake or lab created sapphire that looks too light, clear or pure (like blue glass)
• Shades of gray and/or brown in a blue sapphire
• Defined cracks or inclusions very obvious to the naked eye

At Emitations, we pride ourselves in providing our discerning customers with the finest collection of faux sapphire jewelry available. We scour the world for the highest quality imitation stones, so you can achieve a royal blue jewelry look for less!
