[fred33]

how many can cost this ring?

[angel_luv]

The ring is not really my style, but then again it doesn't have to be. :)

[themvp]

She's not getting fat!

She's just gotting better every year, IMO :makeout

[spurtime]

Looks like it's about 5 karat emerald cut. 125K is the over/under imo.

Looks about right to me. Lovely. Absolutely lovely. I liked the trillions offsetting it on either side as well. Appears to have beautiful clarity (which you have to have in an emerald cut).

I heard 5 karat on the news yesterday. You're probably right.

[spurtime]

My wife's is a 2 karat marquis that was family heirloom, and has two 1/3 karat round stones on either side. She's very proud of her ring and would be extremely jealous if she was in the same room with Eva's monster stone.

[1Parker1]

Damn, that's a nice ring.

Note to self: Marry rich.






























:lol That's a joke, before anyone starts a new "Women are evil" thread!

[Kori Ellis]

It looks pretty. I wouldn't have guessed 5 carats. I'd like to see it in person.

[sa_butta]

Just a diamond of that size alone is $45,742

[Kori Ellis]

If the center diamond is a 5 carat high quality emerald cut, then somewhere between 200-300K.

With More Diamonds Next The Big Diamond

With More Diamonds Next The Big Diamond

I'd have to see it. But if it's 5K emerald cut in the middle and the nice size diamonds on the side, then I'd guess somewhere around $250-300K. Diamonds vary a lot in price depending on cut, color and clarity. You can get a 5K carat diamond (just for the diamond) anywhere between 100K and 400K, depending on the quality.

For example, this diamond is 119K.

http://www.bluenile.com/diamonds_details.asp?__fun_frm=i&pid=LD00685391&filter_id=0

This diamond (almost same size) is 291K.

Candles and rose petals- see that sort of thoughtfulness is even more impressive to me than the ring.

Good work, Tony.

yeah... spending 300k on a diamond has to be the most idiotic thing anyone can do http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smirolleyes.gif Still, I guess if you have enough money to throw away, 300k isn't that big of a deal.

[easjer]

Is that supposed to be the ring? That's an Asscher cut, not an emerald cut. The ring I saw also had trillion sidestones rather than a row of channel set diamonds.

The trillions didn't look to be bigger than standard size, so probably around .25 carats or smaller each.

Funny you should say that, one of our economics students did a thesis last year about investment grade diamonds and whether or not it was a worthwhile investment.

His conclusion was that it was a decent investment if you wanted to lock up money - they do not depreciate if they are properly cared for (obviously a huge scratch or something will cause depreciation) and diamonds can increase in value depending on market climate, but it was not a good long term solution for someone looking to make money. Additionally, smaller good quality stones are easier to move than bigger high quality stones because they can be sold anonymously.

So, any money-launderers, white collar criminals, drug lords, etc. take note - it would be wise to liquidate some cash into small diamonds of high quality (around 1 to 1.5 carat) and keep them in a place that you can easily access while on the run, since you are more likely to be able to sell them off easily for cash than other items and are small enough to be easily hidden.

At least diamonds won't depreciate the same way fancy cars will.

[Walton Buys Off Me]

That's what my wife said.

[ducks]

what is tony suppose to spend all his money on?
everything he owns is paid for
do you realize 500 hundred thousand at 6% in one year generates $60 thousand dollars?

[Kori Ellis]

Well an average guy is supposed to spend 2 months salary on an engagement ring. So I think Eva got short changed :)

Rings are the biggest waste of cash there is and lose value the fastest.

You just hate women, so your opinion isn't valued here.

Thanks.

[mikejones99]

Bitch, I love women. Are you on crack again? dam craddle robber

[Kori Ellis]

You don't love women; all you do is trash them. Actually you should be gay. Not that all gay men hate women. But you obviously don't like women, so maybe you like men.

[mikejones99]

I love the women like the hotties of the rated ones in the troll forum. Not older washed up ones.

[mikejones99]

Old women sure get pissed off easy. That hot ones agree with me. Hotties usually much younger than Kori that is.

[Kori Ellis]

I love the women like the hotties of the rated ones in the troll forum. Not older washed up ones.

You mean you masturbate to pictures of those kind of women, not that you love them. You disrespect all women (young, old, beautiful, washed up) constantly in your posts.

[mikejones99]

masturbation is a good thing baby. You must earn respect to get it. Actually there is a few good female posters in here.

:spinaah... didn't think of that. I suppose you're right. I was thinking more along the lines of buying the engagement ring so you wife can wear it. 300k is WAY too much money to spend on a ring, unless ofcourse you intend to sell it later on and are looking just to lock up cash as you say.

[reydawg]

What's TP's salary for 2 months?

[Kori Ellis]

What's TP's salary for 2 months?

I think he makes $9.45M this year. So close to $1.6M. :)

[nkdlunch]

If I ever get my girl a ring worth 2 month salary that bitch better get me back 2 month of her salary towards a deposit on a new bimmer

fair is fair

[mrose31]

Id be affraid for my wife to walk around with something that expensive on her finger all the time. Hell I get scared when my wife wears her $3500 ring.

[bdictjames]

Wonder if Tony has the same ring that big

[fred33]

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Dec. 4 -- On November 29, 2006 Tony Parker presented Eva Longoria with an engagement ring designed by Jean Dousset.

Jean Dousset who was born in Paris, France has worked for prestigious French jewelry houses for the past 10 years, and was most recently asked by Tony Parker to design the perfect engagement ring for Eva Longoria.


"I built the ring around her persona: confident, delicate, and very feminine. That gave me the base of the design. Tony wanted to surprise her with the proposal and the ring. That gave me the stakes," said Jean Dousset.

The emerald cut diamond ring has 248 diamonds and took 116 hours of work to complete. "I wanted the ring to have one unique and original idea. Something that no one has done before, that would be between Tony and Eva. I asked him to handwrite a personal message to her. His handwriting was then engraved inside the shank of the ring, for her eyes only," said Jean Dousset. "Beyond the execution and the design, I am most proud that the ring has a personal imprint of Tony inside it," continued Jean Dousset.

After working with the prestigious French jewelers, Jean has decided to open his "atelier" (workshop), and will soon follow with a collection of jewelry. He presently works with select celebrity clients.

"As Tony & Eva's friend, I am very touched to have been asked to be a part of this very special moment for both of them. I wish them only love and more love," Jean said.

a price now

[tlongII]

Two months salary in my case would be a couple hundred bucks. No wonder I'm not engaged.

I didn't know it had that many diamonds. Maybe Tony did pay 2 months salary.

[MannyIsGod]

That 2 months salary rule sucks. :)

[mikejones99]

it is not a rule, just some made up bull shit so retards will waste money on hookers.

Jeweler says he designed Eva's engagement ring based on her personality


DOUSSET


Michael Quintanilla
Express-News Staff Writer
Jewelry designer Jean Dousset is one romantic dude.

After all, it was his idea to have Tony Parker handwrite a personal message to Eva Longoria — an endearment that has been engraved inside the shank of a whopping 5-carat, emerald-cut, 248-diamond engagement ring mounted on a white gold setting. (Dousset won't reveal the ring's value, but at least one San Antonio bling expert says it could be worth as much as $500,000.)

What did Parker pen?

“Oh, I can't say. But I read it. The writing is in Tony's hand. The message is for Eva's eyes only,” said Dousset from Paris, adding that the idea is a Dousset family tradition that Parker has now made his own.

Parisian-born Dousset has worked for prestigious French jewelry houses and divides his time between Paris and Los Angeles where he recently opened an atelier, or design studio, and is creating his own jewelry line. He keeps his celebrity client list mum but reveals that, among his pieces, is a pink diamond necklace he and Barbra Streisand worked on for nearly a year.

He began work on Longoria's ring last July, after Parker told Dousset he'd decided to pop the question to the “Desperate Housewives” actress.

“I started looking for the perfect stone and described to Tony the concept and what I wanted to do,” he said. “Tony was very happy and we continued with the ring.”

The designer said he based the design on Longoria's personality.

“She has a strong will, is very feminine, very loving and a loyal friend. That ring is strong because it is covered with diamonds. I ran out of space for more. And it is also very curvy, like her. So, you see, the ring requires a big personality to pull it off, which she has. On her, it looks amazing.”

Dousset has nothing but kind words for the couple he calls his friends. “I praise Tony for his incredible trust in me, and for putting it all together. He called me and he said ‘I'm doing it tonight,'.” Dousset said about Parker's proposal Nov. 29.

Dousset has known Longoria for almost four years and designed the No. 9 (Parker's Spurs' number) diamond pendant she often wears to games.

“She sent me an e-mail to tell me how excited she was about the ring and the proposal. She said it was ‘a dream come true.' She has always been in love with Tony and has been very forthcoming about that. He is a fantastic guy. She is a lovely woman. I am very happy for them.”
