Recently, an Emerald colored gemstone considered to be the world’s largest emerald cut is set to be auctioned in Canada by Kelowna-based Western Star. Reagan Reaney is the owner of the stone.  He showed the stone to a gemologist and they stated that it truely is a genuine emerald.

The emerald was found in Brazil and cut in India. It is an oval shape emerald estimated at 57,000 carats, weighing 25 pounds, and the size of a watermelon. By far one of the largest cut emerald. It’s quite amazing to read about in the news.  The gems name is called “Teodora” which means “God’s Gift”. The emerald was appraised at $1.15 million. The auction house states they already have bids coming in for the gemstone. 

Here is a video showing and detailing more about the Emerald:

Over the New Year’s weekend, Mario Lopez proposed to his long time girlfriend and mother of his 2- year old daughter, Courtney Mazza. They were vacationing in Ixtapa, Mexico. According to Us Weekly, Lopez and Mazza were walking on the beach while sunset and wanted his children to have the same last name as their mother. Mazza did not understand until a few minutes later. They plan on having the wedding in Mexico later this year. Wishing them many congratulations. We hope to see the type of ring he picked out pretty soon.

We definitely feel for this guy. A young man proposed to his girlfriend at the UCLA-Richmond game in December during the Kiss-Cam. Some believe it was a set up while others say it was definitely real. The outcome of the proposal: she rejected the proposal; at least on the big screen. She could at least say yes and spoke to him after the game. Don’t embarass the guy. Hopefully, she said yes afterwards in a private setting. We feel for him!

As we mentioned yesterday, many people get engaged over the holidays and it looks like another celeb got engaged during Christmas. John Legend is now off the market. He is engaged to his long time girlfriend and super model Chrissy Teigen. According to People Magazine, the two were engaged in Maldives while vacationing over the holidays. Congratulations to both of them and we can’t wait to see the ring!!!

The Christmas and Holiday seasons is wonderful time to get together with family and enjoy the company of each other. Another common part of the holidays is proposals and weddings. A great time to get engaged with the one you love with family surrounded. Matthew McConaughey did just that yesterday on Christmas. He proposed to his long time girlfriend and mother of their two children, Camila Alves, a Brazilian model. McConaughey tweeted a picture of them and announced his engagement on Twitter. No word on the ring but we are sure its a beautiful ring for a beautiful fiance! Congratulations to the two of them.
