Who says guys can’t pull off jewelry?  The Top 10 Best Dressed list has been posted after this past Sunday’s 2011 Billboard Music Awards.  Although photographers flocked to snag photos of artists like Rihanna and Taylor Swift, who both made it onto “The Billboard Music Awards’ Top 10 Best Dressed,” one of the surprising stars that made it into the list was R&B sultry songwriter, Trey Songz.

Trey Songz arrived to the event, representing for the men in a sleek black suit and white sneakers.  Of course he didn’t forget to bring the bling.  Trey rocked a pair of round cut diamond stud earrings, as well as a beaded necklace.  Wait, did we just say a beaded necklace?  That’s right, stylists agree that this bold accessory choice definitely earned him a spot as one of the Top 10 Best Dressed.

“It seems that no matter what he wears, he always is strolling down the red carpet with swagger and ease. His loose, yet pulled together look always leaves the ladies swooning.  So, perhaps the layered beaded necklace is the NEXT it thing for men? When it comes to Trey — and those dimples — it seems his style is never wrong!” says Niki Schwan, noted celebrity stylist.

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 ancient times, marriages have been symbolized by the wearing of rings. Conventionally, the woman’s ring is presented as a betrothal gift by a man while he proposes marriage or directly after she accepts his marriage proposal. It represents their love and a commitment to future marriage. If you really think about it, why wouldn’t the man wear an engagement ring also? Yet, I bet if you ask 10 random men, most of them would say they would never wear an engagement ring.  Most of their reasoning would probably be based on the idea that it is a tradition for the woman, not the man.

Is this fair? In this modern age, why are women the only ones to have a physical symbol and daily reminder of devotion before the big day? This article is for those few men who say they are open to the idea of wearing an engagement ring – a man-gagement ring.  We asked our Facebook fans what they thought of the man-gagement ring concept and the majority absolutely love the idea! One of our fans said, “Its romantic and a reminder of each other’s commitment.”  Such a sweet thought that the rings are a representation of your love even before tying the knot! In fact, there have been some male celebrities that have recently been photographed wearing man-gagement ring.  This just might be the beginning of a new trend!

Canadian crooner Michael Buble isn’t waiting for his upcoming nuptials before sporting some metal on his ring finger. Buble, who is engaged to his Argentine actress Luisana Lopilato, wears a simple gold man-gagement ring. True to Argentine custom, Michael is embracing the family “tradition” in his fiancé’s family by wearing the simple gold band on his ring finger. The jazz singer says he likes the South American custom where, “the boy also wears the engagement ring.”

Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson took the reins with her engagement to David Otunga (former I Love New York 2 star, Punk). David romantically proposed to Jennifer on her 27^th birthday with a stunning platinum ring by jeweler to the stars, Neil Lane. The 5-carat round center stone surrounded by diamonds engagement ring has a vintage feel with modern accents. Not to be outdone, Jennifer wanted to get her man some bling of his own! She then re-proposed with an equally impressive 5-carat diamond and platinum man-gagement ring. Neil lane, who designed both custom rings, loves the idea of man-gagement rings, saying, “It was very sentimental and romantic … They are really in love.”

Star of the year, Natalie Portman, recently attended the Academy Awards nomination luncheon on February 7, 2011.  Like usual, Natalie Portman shined among her fellow nominees.  She wore a short, sapphire blue dress with a dark pearl necklace.  Her pearl necklace hit the right note as a mix between casual and dressy.  Natalie was even seen wearing the same pearl necklace later that day at the airport.  Changing her attire from a fancier dress to a blouse and jeans, she was able to seamlessly change from one look to another with the help of one jewelry accessory.

In one day Natalie Portman went from classy and elegant to casual and put together.  Pairing a pearl necklace with a simple blouse and jeans is a great way to jazz up any casual day look.   The pearl necklace Natalie chose to wear was full of large black pearls with a sampling of lighter ones on one side.

Some fashions last long enough to defy the label of trend, and instead turn into iconic pieces. Such is the case with the bangle bracelet! This basic jewelry item has survived nearly every fashion wave throughout history, and today they’re hotter than ever before.

The ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Hebrews, and Romans wore bangle bracelets, mainly as status symbols, tokens of religious devotion, or as part of their warrior uniforms. Mentions of silver and gold jewelry – bracelets in particular – are scattered throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. More recently, bangles have popped up in the fashion history of the 19th and 20th century.

In the 1920s, sparkling art deco jewelry was all the rage, and bangle bracelets fit right in! The 40s forced women and jewelers alike to get creative, as precious metals were needed to support the war efforts. Slim bangles dominated the fashion scene in those times. In the 50s, though, women were ready to indulge! Bangles in all shapes and sizes rolled off newly formed assembly lines. The 60s and 70s brought us huge stacks of wire thin bangles, and the 80s offered chunky, funky, neon colored bangle bracelets that were made to be noticed.

From the 1990s through today, bangles have evolved in many ways. The basic shape, however, remains true. From stacks of thick gold hip-hop inspired bangles, to bohemian inspired textured bangles, stylish celebs know that bangle bracelets are still all the rage. It’s all about survival of the hippest!

Today’s hottest trend setting celebrities may have found the secret to luck – clover jewelry! Our favorite leading ladies of fashion, movies, and music have all been spotted in layered clover necklaces, and they’ve all been extra lucky in life recently. Coincedence, or fortunate fashion? Try your own clover bling, and see for yourself!

Paris Hilton can be described in many ways, but most of us wouldn’t have considered the ultra-rich heiress to be down on her luck. Until, of course, her much publicized stint in jail last year! Even before that, she wasn’t doing so well with the men in her life – there’s been cheating, catfights, messy breakups, and private moments gone publish in recent years. Her movies and songs haven’t been the most successful, either, but Paris seems to take it all in stride. We don’t want to jinx her recent streak of good luck, but we have to dish on her newest arm candy. Could there possibly be real love between her and Good Charlotte frontman Benji Madden? As with her past loves, only time will tell. Still, things are definitely better than this time last year!

Reese Witherspoon is one of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses, but she has her share of problems just like the rest of us. Several years ago, her and hubby Ryan Phillipe seemed to be on top of the world. They made parenting a priority, and yet Reese still found the time to star in a string of blockbuster films. After winning an Oscar for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in the 2005 bio-pic Walk the Line, Reese was at an all time high. Shortly thereafter, though, Hollywood’s golden couple went through a messy divorce. Reese was conspicuously single for quite a while afterwards, but now she’s nothing but smiles when out with her new man Jake Gylenhall. He only recently got to meet the kiddies, which makes us think it’s serious!

Mariah Carey has had incredible success since first taking the mike in the early 1990s, but she was in a bit of a slump a few years back. Since then (perhaps since donning her clover necklace and earrings?) she has come back with a bang, going around the world with her most successful tour to date. Her last album, The Emancipation of Mimi, was the number one seller in the US for 2005, and it won multiple Grammy Awards. Now, Mariah is completing work on her newest album, E=MC², and she has her own fragrance line. Things are looking up for Miss MC!

Want your chance to be lucky in life? Try a chic layered clover necklace, and see what arises! Maybe we can get Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan to wear some clover jewelry too…

From the designers at fashion week to the clothes at your favorite stores, safari style is hot! Intense prints and “urban jungle” looks were all over the runway, but they can be difficult to wear in real life. Why not trust your animal instincts, and opt for jungle jewelry instead? We suggest choosing a military cut jacket, a pair of dark rinse jeans, and a punchy pastel top for your wardrobe basics, and then go wild with accessories!

This year’s interpretation of the look features a wider palette of prints, adding giraffe, tiger, and zebra patterns to the usual leopard and cheetah spots. There’s also a medley of Bollywood inspired fabrics and styles, which add vibrance to the new neutrals of 2008. A glossy sheen over olive and khaki pieces brings light to classic colors, and accents like sash belts and button up sleeves add extra oomph to any outfit. The essential clothing item of the season has to be the ’70s-esque pantsuit, which is shortened and paired with heels for ’08.

If you’re not quite ready to sport a one piece safari “romper” suit, never fear – you can satisfy your craving for couture with wild style jewelry! Why trek through the jungle (or the crowds at the mall) when you can shop at Emitations? A stack of funky jungle bangles or a glam giraffe print cocktail ring is just what you need to add some kick to those khakis!

It looks like designers broke out their box of Crayolas for Spring Fashion Week—New York was bursting with bold colors! Mixed with other trends, like old school Hollywood glamour and fanciful escapism pieces, bright hues were the clear standouts of the season. Even the names of the new shades are fresh and fun – snorkel blue, rococco red, and daquiri green, to name a few! This year’s technicolor trends were shown off with ankle length gowns, assymetrical designs, and urban edgy mini-dresses—all of which looked amazing on the runway. Offstage, though, how can the average woman wear these fiesty, fashionable colors? With brilliant bling, of course! Emitations’ Color Craze collection has all the hot hues, but we translated them into cocktail rings, stud earrings, and glam pendants!
