Pop Star Shops For Diamond Jewellery

Published on 30/09/08

Diamond bracelets and diamond rings were among the items on Justin Timberlake's shopping list during a trip to Rome.

The pop superstar bought a diamond bracelet and a vintage diamond ring for girlfriend Jessica Biel, star of films such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, during a recent holiday in the Italian city.

A small outlet in the Via Condotti area was the place of purchases for the pair who have recently been rumoured to be engaged.

Shop-owner Nicola Boncompagni told the media: "I could tell they had very refined taste because they asked about the history of all the jewellery. They seemed shy but in love."

Both diamond items were made in the 1970s, according to Monsters and Critics.

Meanwhile, diamonds were recently on show at the 60th Primetime Annual Emmy Awards, as actress Julie Benz wore two brilliant-cut diamond bracelets, reports MarketWatch.
