See Jessica Biel's ring here for the first time

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are one of Hollywood's Hottest Couples, dating on and off for almost five years. So when news of their engagement was confirmed by our homey, Justin's grandmother, the whole country started talking.

The ring was rumored to have made it's own guest appearance during Timberlake's surprise guest appearance on Saturday Night Live Feb. 18th.

Unfortunately, for all of the couple's fans, no one has captured a photograph of her stunning ring. However, Diamond Nexus is excited to provide our amazing readers with a sneak peak of her gorgeous ring! Although this may not be a "picture," in the strict interpretation of the word, it is as imagined by the creative and powerfully psychic designers here, who work diligently to imagine what the next big thing will be in celebrity ring design.

Dr.Diamond, Head of Psychic Marketing and reader of tea leaves, shared some of his thoughts on her new ring, while humming a Justin Timberlake song. "It is no doubt, an engagement ring, and based on my extreme talent in the areas of jewelry and psychic design, I can also say that without a doubt, this spectacular ring is going to be all the rage."

"It is also evident to me that Jessica is wearing a ring that holds clear and/or colored stones and is set in some sort of a metal compound. This very well could be Gold, but it is definitely shiny and quite expensive. I am also inclined to say that it is extremely sparkly and has some sort of a round shaped band," Dr. Diamond further expressed.

"This also makes me think that in the future, she might be planning on purchasing a wedding band as well, though I might need to consult the tea leaves as to when that will happen," Dr. Diamond continued.

"This ring truly takes my breath away, and I would wear something just like this. Infact, I would have the Nexus Design Studio custom-make the ring and proudly wear it, exactly as her photo shows. It is perfect!" guessed Jennifer London, Social Media Coordinator at Diamond Nexus.

Everyone at the Diamond Nexus offices were excited to finally see the one-of-a-kind ring and were astonished at the amazing detail, evident in the highly professional close-up photo of the ring.

"That is a lot of bling, but it balances the lovely Miss Biel's hand just right. She is an active lady, so this ring looks like it will wear well, and no matter what she does, no one will be able to take their eyes off this absolute head-turner of a ring," declared Kyle Blades, Director of Marketing. "It is FAB-U-LOUS!"

A Celtic Themed Wedding

There are a multitude of choices when a couple decides that they want to have a Celtic themed wedding.Research is key, studying the historic wedding traditions of the Celtic community. This will guarantee a celebration that you and your guests will always remember. 

 

• The perfect wedding dress~ Think romance, like this amazing dress from http://www.rivendellbridal.com/ There are many talented dress designers out there to make the perfect dress for your wedding, but this one in particular really makes an impression.

• Symbolic Traditions~ Handfasting, an ancient ceremony, which unites a couple in union and  is often referred to as "tying the knot". A couple stands facing each other, joining right hands and their left, as a friend or overseer of the wedding ties a rope or symbolic piece of cloth around the couple's interlocking hands. It is a beautiful tradition to incorporate into your wedding ceremony. 

•  Flowers~ The choices are made with great care, honoring the Celtic traditions. English lavender mixed in the bouquet symbolized love and devotion. Herbs worn in the bride's hair symbolized her fidelity, as does Ivy placed in her bouquet. Instead of a veil, many brides opt for wreaths of wildflowers in their hair.

• The Music~  A very popular choice is having a Bagpiper play. He can be incorporated during specific times in the ceremony-when the bride is walking down the aisle,  accompanying the ceremony or throughout the entire event. This traditional music adds a meaningful touch to the wedding.

•   Celtic Food~ For those who want a traditional faire, choose Shepards Pie or Beef Stew as main dishes, served with colcannon and potato rolls. Appetizers can include Irish potato and leek soup, soda bread with cheese and Scotch eggs.  

•   The Cake~ There are no traditional cake options, since ancient Celtic tribes tended not to bake sweets. So, the options are up to each couple, as to the color and flavor of icing and cake to use. I really loved this cake as an example of incorporating the Celtic theme with a romantic design:

• Wedding rings~ A beautiful Diamond Nexus ring would compliment any Celtic ceremony quite well. The Bramble engagement ring, an affordable engagement ring that has an enchanting design, really has the elegant romance of a vintage style. The Mariner Men's Ring is a great option that also has a Celtic look.

What Chelsea loves from Diamond Nexus

Our Diamond Nexus  'Staff Pick of the Week' is the Angela Ring
Chosen by Chelsea in the Nexus Design Studio ~

 Here is what Chelsea had to say about her ring, that she wears as a right hand ring:

 " It has a low profile, great for an active lifestyle. I live in Wisconsin and it tends to be cold here. So, wearing gloves is required. Because of the low profile it is great if you have to take gloves on and off a lot. I love how unique the oval cut is, and the setting is a different look as well."

  Chelsea semi-customized the ring to hold a clear Oval cut center stone,  "I wanted to make sure I could match it to everything" as she told me during our chat.

 The ring is shown on the website with an Oval cut Sapphire center. Quite stunning, and with the synthetic sapphire or man made diamond simulant options, you can be sure that it will be the perfect ring for you!

*Staff Picks of the Week will be a series of interviews of Diamond Nexus staff, by your very own, Jennifer London. Watch for these weekly blog posts and hear first-hand from the people who see our jewelry every day, what we all love to wear!
