Star Given Diamond Ring

Published on 09/03/09

Two US stars are enjoying contrasting fortunes when it comes to gold diamond rings.

Glamour model and reality TV personality Kendra Wilkinson has been handed a 2.25-carat diamond engagement band from her American football star beau Hank Baskett.

The Philadelphia Eagles receiver explained he spent weeks shopping for the perfect jewel-encrusted item to mark the occasion.

However, one A-lister whose partner has not been shopping for platinum diamond rings is Jessica Simpson.

The singer was reportedly hoping to be presented with a glittering gift on Valentine's Day, but boyfriend Tony Romo failed to deliver.

A source told OK magazine: "She wanted one [a diamond ring] for Christmas, then she thought maybe New Year's Eve. Her last hope was that Tony would propose on Valentine's Day - but he didn't."

Meanwhile, it is clear that newsreader Kate Silverton has no such worries, after she was seen shopping for engagement rings with boyfriend Mike Heron earlier this week.
