Mark Your (2011) Calendar

The final hours of 2010 are pretty much history anyway...  You might as well ditch your old calendar. The one that's probably been hovering over your work area for the last two years. The one that's been permanently fixed on the month of January since the day you got it. Who is really in a rush to flip to a next picture of landscapes or dogs in flower pots at the end of every month?

I've come across a few, however, that are enough to give reason to know the correct date everyday is this new year.
From skeletal pin ups, to Maybelline Queens, check out some of my favorite 2011 calendars HERE.

Jason of Beverly Hills Opens its Doors in Sin City

Where do I begin.
On the evening of December 15th, something very special happened. As the sun began to set, there were rumblings of ground breaking new experience that was about to take place in Sin City. There were whispers of a decadent wonderland unlike anyone had ever seen. An oasis that housed the unbridled fantasies of the risk taker, the playful, and the insatiable dreamer. Inside, I heard rumors of a secret place where scantily clad Amazons guarded a treasure trove of diamonds…
The best part was that it was all true.

In Case You Missed It: Jason on "Bridalplasty"

In case you missed it, Jason finds himself in the middle of a bridal brawl over engagement rings on this weeks "Bridalplasty" on E! Check the video.

The token "wedding of my dreams" is so passe. These lovely ladies are competing for more than just designer cakes and floral arrangements. The object of this game is the new nose, tummy tuck, and double-D's of their dreams.
Only in Beverly Hills...
As an added bonus, the Sultan of Spray tan himself, Jason of Beverly Hills dropped in to provide some wedding bling to go with their new Brazilian butt lifts. With a deal like that, I can only imagine all of the housewife hopefuls that are signing up for season two.


My only question is, do the hubby's get a makeover too? ~vK

Karina Smirnoff's 4.5 Carat Engagement Ring by Jason of Beverly Hills

Dancing With the Stars pro, Karina Smirnoff and new fiance, MBL pitcher Brad Penny held on to the news of their engagement for as long as they could before making the big announcement over the weekend.
Penny actually put a ring on it over a month ago, in what Smirnoff describes as a "conspiracy" between Brad and her manager. They lured her to a restaurant saying that she was to meet with the owner of Twitter after a taping of DWTS.
In an interview she states, "We went to this restaurant and [my manager] got on her phone and said 'this guy is killing me,' and got up and walked away, Then Brad walked in and it still didn't register. He got down on one knee and he opened the box and I said, 'Thank you'. I honestly didn't expect it."
And what was in the little black box? A jaw dropping 4.5 carat Asscher Cut diamond ring made by Jason of Beverly Hills.
The news was just as surprising to Jason who was tapped by Penny months prior to make the engagement ring. At the time, Penny did not disclose who the ring was for, but went through great lengths to get the perfect one.
Karina isn't the first of the DWTS crew to be blessed with a piece of JBH bling. Last years champion Nicole Scherzinger, Chad Ocho Cinco, Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy all went home with custom Jason of Beverly Hills pieces.
Who needs the disco ball trophy when you've got one on your finger? 
Congrats to the happy couple! ~vK

Enter Ron Artest's Laker Ring Raffle

When I initially heard the rumors about Lakers forward Ron Artest giving away his first championship ring to a fan, I cringed. I secretly wanted to be that lucky fan, but I couldn't understand how Artest could so casually hand over something that basically symbolizes what he has spent his entire NBA career fighting for.
I see now that he's fighting for something that is just as near and dear to him, if not more. In numerous interviews since the unveiling of the Lakers Championship rings, Ron has made it clear that he is dedicated to disarming the stigma surrounding mental illness through a selfless gesture. By raffling off his first and only championship ring, he hopes to raise over a million dollars to support mental health charities. 
Ring or no ring, Ron Artest is definitely a champion in my eyes.
If you, or anyone you know is interested in getting in on this amazing cause, you can purchase raffle tickets at RONARTEST.com

And now....a word from "El Jefe"

<a href="http://www.linkedtube.com/fcX4TLLwia0095778d10e7e37ff0bde7643b5a938dd.htm">LinkedTube</a>
   Ok, so it's almost 2am and I'm reflecting on my childhood dream of becoming the starting power forward for the Los Angeles lakers. 
   Needless to say, I've finally come to terms with the fact that I am a skinny Jew with the athleticism of a 97 year old grandma, with broken knee caps and two left feet. Instead of gifting me with a Kobe-like skill set, God instead decided to bless me with the next best thing..... a golden opportunity! I had the opportunity to feel like a sports hero if only for one day. 
   At precisely 5:23pm, October 26th, 2010, time stood at a stand still. I was finally able to step into the shoes of Kobe Bryant... not the Nike shoes that grace the Staples Center hardwood, but the patent leather Guccis that hit the cold concrete in the Lakers press room. I got a chance to live my dream and represent my company at a press conference to discuss how we made the 2010 Laker Championship rings....... YEEAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
   Although this company is selfishly called Jason of Beverly Hills, "Jason" would not be sitting there (acting cool and secretly soaked in a nervous sweat) without the help of the most amazing team a man could have. I've never considered myself a smart person, but I do consider myself the luckiest person in the world to be surrounded by some of the most amazing talent the industry has ever seen. Even when I screw up they make me look good, and I want to say THANK YOU to everyone in my office and factory, as well as the entire Los Angeles Lakers staff. 
   Now instead of lying to our grandchildren with heroic stories about once saving 7 puppies from a burning building, we can put our chest out and proudly say that we made the 2010 Lakers Championship Rings!!!!! 

   That night we all had the chance to live the life of NBA all stars....
Thank you for Everything!
Jason Arasheben, CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills

2010 Los Angeles Lakers Championship Rings Revealed!!


 A Championship Ring with a Piece of History
Press Release: LOS ANGELES, CA- October 26th 2010- The Los Angeles Lakers celebrate their 16th championship win in true Hollywood fashion by contracting, for the second year in a row, celebrity jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills to create what will go down as the world’s most historic championship ring.  Jason of Beverly Hills, known for his extravagant diamond creations for some of the world’s biggest celebrities and royalty, has completely revolutionized the industry with his out-of-the-box approach to design.
For the first time in championship ring history,  Jason of Beverly Hills has decided to commemorate the Lakers historic win by adorning each and every ring with a piece of the actual ball used in game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals. This daring ring design also features 2 trophies that signify the back to back victories made from a custom batch of 16kt gold and 16 oversized round brilliant white diamonds to indicate the 16 historic Lakers’ championships. Employing the world’s most advanced 3-D technology, each player is immortalized with a 3 dimensional sculpture of their face on their respective rings.
 
Representing the new generation of fine jewelry making, Jason of Beverly Hills upheld their standard of expert craftsmanship, superior diamond quality and cutting edge design. “We wanted to create history with this year’s ring and I think we’ve done that!” says Jason Arasheben, CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills. “More than any other year, this year’s ring allows the owner to relive and own a piece of Lakers’ history with the leather from the Game 7 ball.”
 
At this year’s unveiling ceremony, each ring was hand delivered in custom boxes, complete with a rotating platform to display the rings under LED lights.
