Nick and Mariah's wedding bling: a closer look
Saturday 10 May 2008
When Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey made their first public appearance as newlyweds on
Thursday, the pair simply dazzled - almost as much as their wedding jewelry. Carey, who
attended Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" gala with her new
husband, showed off her impressive pink diamond sparkler from of Jacob & Co. jewelers.
The ring, valued at a whopping $2.5 million, is 17 carats. The center stone alone is
10-carats - a little smaller than a dime.
"I wanted to do something extremely special, something that Mariah would really appreciate,"
Cannon told People. "We got the pinkest stone we could find, surrounded by other diamonds."
Carey definitely approved. "It's so clear, you can see my finger through it," she said.
According to Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co., Cannon "was very involved" in picking the ring,
which has an emerald-cut fancy light pink center stone surrounded by 58 intense pink
diamonds, flanked by two half-moon diamonds. "The way he came into the store, I knew this
was very serious," Arabo told People. "He said, 'Jacob, I'm in love. This is what I want
to do.' "
Meanwhile, Cannon's ring would make Liberace proud. The elaborate, chunky diamond band
made its debut Thursday as he was leaving his New York City hotel. But while a diamond
may be forever, the couple's new tattoos - his says "Mariah" across his shoulders, and
hers reads "Mrs. Cannon" on the small of her back - will last a lifetime. "Rings and all
that is special and exciting," said Cannon. "But to us, tattoos mean more than anything
because it's something we never thought we'd do." Plus, they're a lot harder to lose.
