Links We Love: French Polynesia & Doughnut Cake

Our friend posted on Facebook, “You can never hug and kiss your loved ones enough.” Which expresses our sentiments exactly. We want to spend this weekend holding our dearest near, and trying to spread a little kindness wherever the opportunity arises. Here’s where you can donate to those who’ve been affected by the tragic events on April 15th.

It’s a pretty major splurge, but we’d love to snuggle down with our family in these heart print sheets from D. Porthault. They could be a great wedding registry item.

The styling in this bridal-inspired fashion editorial in French Glamour is too edgy for most, but the accessories would be amazing on anyone.

These retro wedding cakes are some of the most original we’ve seen. They look kind of Midcentury Modern, no?

Want something a little less fancy? We’re dying for an occasion to make a doughnut cake.

Why are we so obsessed with cake? Because.

We blogged about Gatsby style here, and now Brooks Brothers has announced an entire Great Gatsby themed collection.

We love this rosé colored dress and mood board. We’d add this.

If you’re planning a beach honeymoon or just getting ready for summer, Beyoncé and H&M have some bikinis to show you. We love the photography and Bey’s womanly curves.

Where shall I wear them, you ask? Ideally, French Polynesia. Where the water is turquoise and the breeze is vanilla-scented.

We loved seeing the Orchid Show. If you’re near NYC, get there before it’s over!

We Love: Emerald Engagement Rings

As we mentioned before, Pantone’s 2013 Color of the Year is Emerald, and being the jewelry enthusiasts we are, we’re so into it.

We’ve written about colored stones before, which we think are going to be huge here in the States in the years to come. In Europe, colored stones have been “in” for a long, long time.

Queen Victoria picked a fierce yellow gold serpent ring with an emerald head, to symbolize her endless love with Prince Albert.

And when King Edward VIII abdicated the throne to marry his American lover Wallis Simpson, he proposed with a 19.77 carat emerald engagement ring, set in platinum and surrounded by diamonds.

Not to be outdone, our own royal family, the Kennedys have a majestic emerald ring in their history, too. JFK gave Jackie this emerald stunner in 1953, and we’re still talking about it 60 years later!

Today, Halle Berry and her French fiance Olivier Martinez are leading the emerald engagement ring comeback in Hollywood. He proposed with this bold yellow gold and emerald throwback to another era.

Not to be outdone, a trendsetting Jeff Cooper couples recently commissioned this Custom Tara Engagement Ring with split shank and two incredible halos of accent diamonds, surrounding an epic Emerald center stone (above).

Yellow Gold Engagement Rings

Lovely Kate Winslet has revealed the slightest peek at her wedding rings and surprise! She wears a traditional yellow gold wedding ring set. Are gold rings the next big thing?

When Miley Cyrus unveiled her new engagement ring, ring watchers were surprised to see her bold yellow gold band. Then Halle Berry wore a regal looking gold and emerald ring, and we started to wonder if gold wedding rings are the next major engagement ring trend.

We blogged about colored stones being a trend to watch in 2013, and we’re starting to think yellow gold might be poised for a comeback in 2014! What do you think? Does yellow look dated or are you ready for a sunny new hue?

If you’re feeling the big, bold gold, click here to see what our custom made, double halo Jeff Cooper Tara Engagement Ring looks like in yellow gold.

Kelly Clarkson’s Yellow Diamond Ring

“Happiest night of my life last night!”

That’s American Idol Kelly Clarkson confirming her engagement on Twitter, and showing off her trendy yellow diamond engagement ring.

Fiancé Brandon Blackstock picked a big, bold halo to surround the yellow stone. We think it’s a perfect reflection of Kelly’s bright, sunny personality.

Want to see our version? Here’s Tate from our Tandem Collection.

Kelly, Penelope Cruz, Kate Middleton, Mariah Carey and Jessica Simpson are just a few of the stars wearing colored engagement rings, a trend we expect to see a lot more of in 2013. We love it when couples use color to create their own custom rings. It makes the experience that much more personal and special.

Ask Jeff Cooper: Diamond Engagement Ring Trends for 2013

Happy Holidays! We’re already thinking about 2013, which is poised to be an incredible year in engagement ring style. Here are our top ten predictions for the best trends of the year.

1. Vintage-Inspired
Updated vintage designs are the single biggest trend we see, now and in the future. Who doesn’t want a ring that feels timeless? Vintage-inspired engagement rings have that innate sense of history and romance. Photo: Hope

2. Colored Stones
What do Penelope Cruz, Kate Middleton and Mariah Carey have in common, besides great hair? Colored engagement rings! Sapphires especially are seeing a huge rise in popularity, quite possibly due to Kate Middleton’s royal rock.

3. Halo & Double Halo
Modern brides are loving the architectural look of halos, and some couples also see them as symbolic of eternity. Either way, we think dramatic halos seem chicer by the day.

4. Princess, Emerald & Oval Diamonds
After Brad Pitt designed Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring with its impressive emerald cut diamond, was there any doubt the trend would take off? Three cuts we predict will be huge in 2013 are princess, emerald and ovals.

5. Personalization
Justin Timberlake included Jessica Biel’s aquamarine birthstone in her engagement ring. Our own Nikole Collection is based on the ring David Cooper designed for his wife, Nikole. In love and jewelry, the more personal, the better.

6. Twisted Bands
An elegant twist is such a classic, glamorous way to add dimension to a ring, we think you’ll be seeing a lot of this trend in the future.

7. Floral Motifs
Brides feel freer than ever to express their personalities, and unique engagement ring designs are gaining popularity. Floral engagement rings strike such a cool balance of feminine beauty and bold individuality.

8. Unique Settings
Blending in with the crowd is so over. While most brides want a classic look, choosing a unique setting is a great way to make it your own. We love barset diamonds for a look that’s bold, but still timeless.

9. Three Stone Rings
A lot of couples see the three-stone ring as symbolic of the past, present and future, or three of their own personal milestones. It’s just another way that couples are personalizing their experience, a trend we love.

10. The New Solitaires
Fresh, new versions of the classic solitaire will be big in 2013. We’re really feeling radically clean lines and understated details that make the center stone pop.
