Michelle Obama’s Ring

New president is getting signed in, in just a few days, so I just thought to do a post on his wife’s wedding ring? Well, Obama certainly does have fantastic taste when he purchased this beautiful piece for his wife Michelle. While he did not get this ring for her until after he was elected president, this ring was probably definitely worth the wait (and the fact that it was $30,000 had something to do with it!).
The interesting thing about this piece is that it is made out of rhodium and diamonds, rhodium metals are some of the most precious and sought-after metals in the entire world due to the fact that they are estimated at $1,000 per one troy ounce.
This ring was ordered special by our president for his wife; he wanted to show her just how much he loved her and loved her support and what better way than to spend thirty grand on them? So if you are looking for something special and you want Michelle’s ring, you are going to have to special order it folks and be sure to pay full price!

Michelle Obama's accessories will draw attention on Inauguration Day

Millions of eyes will feast on Michelle Obama's attire for Inauguration Day.

Beyond her day dress and evening gown are the accessories, which often register the loudest cha-ching in this era of $2,000 handbags, $100,000 gems and $1,000 pumps. (Believe it or not, they're still out there.)

Obama must walk the line between presidential pomp and economic circumstance. Where will she skimp? Where will she splurge? Fashion experts are split.

With brooches a signature and dangling teardrop earrings a highlight of her Election Night ensemble, Obama isn't likely to omit jewelry. Nor are other attendees, said fashion designer Maria Pinto, a hometown favorite of Obama's.

"I think we'll see important jewelry—significant but not blingy," said Pinto, who is attending the inauguration.

Constance White, a New York-based fashion reporter and style director of eBay doesn't see Obama cutting expense with a mass-market dress brand. So she may temper a glam gown with fabulous but affordable cubic zirconia jewelry, instead of jewels.

Tommy Hilfiger Will Show At Bryant Park

Tommy Hilfiger will show in the New York Fashion Week tents in February, despite other designers pulling out. In fact, Tommy Hilfiger will be appearing and revealing his new line at Bryant Park for the first time in three years.




The designer has committed for the show in Bryant Park, while other big names have not yet confirmed their involvement or have pulled out. Vera Wang and Betsey Johnson have both opted out of showing this year, with Wang instead deciding to put on an intimate show at her Mercer Street show instead.
In recent years, Hilfiger has shown his new collections during fashion week, but off-site at Avery Fisher Hall rather than the main venue of Bryant Park. This year, perhaps it is appropriate that the red, white, and blue American designer take center stage.
“In this upcoming season, when America will be taking center stage, Tommy brings a unique American style to the runways of Bryant Park,”
said Fern Mallis, SVP of IMG Fashion.
The Tommy Hilfiger fall 2009 show is currently scheduled for Thursday, February 19.
