Boxing superstar Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao won more than just the boxing championship title on December 6, 2008. Although he sent Oscar De La Hoya into retirement and earned $11 million for winning the fight, he also walked away with a custom diamond-encrusted pair of boxing gloves to remember the big night.

Born on December 17, 1978, the 5’6” star hails from the Philippines, and boasts a record of 36 career KOs. Manny made his debut at the age of 16, was a two-time world champion, and winner of the WBC flyweight world title before the age of 20. Continue reading »

Emily Mortimer arrived on the red—or, rather, pink—carpet wearing a very large diamond choker, fashioned into flowers, that went a long way toward making anyone who caught sight of her stop in their tracks. Continue reading »

Promise rings are a tradition that dates back to the 1500’s.

These rings have been introduced throughout popular culture. They enjoyed a brief surge in popularity in the 1990’s thanks to the television show Boy Meets World, and have come to the forefront of media attention once more because of the members of popular boy band The Jonas Brothers.
