Anne Hathaway Doesn’t Want Con Man Ex’s Jewelry
14 years ago
Anne Hathaway may have starred in The Devil Wears Prada, but she is hardly a material girl. In fact, Anne is kissing goodbye a treasure trove of jewels given to her by her con-man ex (pictured above)
Back in August 2008, Hathaway handed over about a dozen pieces of jewelry, just after her Italian-born former flame, Raffaello Follieri, was accused of cheating investors out of $13 million. Follieri was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison that October.
Anne had until February 2010 to file a petition claiming ownership of the jewels, which include two Rolex watches, a pair of silver-colored earrings with “blue and clear stones,” a silver-colored chain with a cross pendant, two gold-colored rings, a five-strand pearl necklace, and a Louis Vuitton box.
Hathaway may have closed the door on Follieri’s legal issues, but her new love interest, actor Adam Shulman (pictured below), has introduced Hathaway to a whole new world of legal trouble. He was recently accused of theft after removing a mural from a Manhattan construction site on Saturday May 15th. Shulman apparently thought it was free for the taking, said H&H Builders president Ken Hart, but returned the artwork after realizing his mistake.
Layer on the rings
14 years ago
Layering rings is a huge look right now. Models such as Abbey Lee Kershaw (pictured here) can flawlessly pull this look off (probably because they work with high ticket stylists). Right we’re hearing that stylists are inspired by the hippy, 70s movement; incorporating mood rings and cabochons wherever they can.
Styling tip for the average ladies: Rather than punky skulls and knuckeldusters or the overly blingy sparkly cocktail rings, try stones like turquoise, amber, aquamarine, garnet, lapis lazuli and onyx. Below is an image of Kristine F from Larvik, who has the look down in her Hunter Child outfit post on Lookbook.nu.
Gold Teeth Jewlery by Le Knockout

Bearing shark teeth has long been used in jewelry ornamentation. The latest trend in jewelry, has taken teeth style to a new level, by blinging out human teeth. Designer Kim Kovel of LE KNOCKOUT creates gilded charms for parents currently moonlighting as tooth fairies. Using children’s real lost teeth, Kovel casts trinkets to be worn in multiples on bracelets, necklaces or earrings (shown above). The pieces are rather expensive, but they are one of a kind any unique to your family.

TOM TOM: Shape Shape It Up Spring 2010
14 years ago
I have my eye on Tom Tom Jewelry’s Spring 2010 “Shape Shape It Up” collection. The geometric shapes, gems, and flashy metallic ornaments are named after some of my favorite songs to shake it to. I’m particularly a fan of the necklaces, shown above, but so we’re clear, the collection does include some bracelets and earrings as well, and with price tags hovering around $100, they’re great statement pieces that won’t cost you your accessories allowance for the month.
Human Tooth Rings

Trying to find the perfect holiday gift for your loved ones? The Human Tooth Ring by Australian silversmith Polly van der Glas is the perfect idea! If your loved one doesn’t wear rings, you can always get Human Tooth Earrings or Human Tooth Necklaces instead. Say What? Your loved one doesn’t like teeth. That’s strange…and you’re in luck because Polly van der Glas also makes jewelry out of Human Hair; and who doesn’t love long flowing golden curls.
“All works are handmade in Melbourne, with sterling silver, human hair and human teeth. Human teeth are locally donated and sterilized, and human hair is either locally donated or sourced from India and China.”
