Eva and Tony Choose Piaget Possession Wedding Bands
Eva Longoria and Tony Parker tied the knot twice in France this past weekend: once in a civil ceremony and once in a French cathedral, Saint
Germain L'Auxerrois, where French kings used to marry. The wedding bands the couple chose were the Possession bands by Piaget.
According to Piaget, Eva's wedding band is made of 18K white gold and
features two rows of 80 brilliant-cut diamonds, separated by a row of 27
square-cut diamonds-a total of 107 jewels. Tony's is a
matching 18K white gold Possession band. The couple had the company
engrave a special inscription was engraved inside both
rings in French.
Piaget's president also described a special watch Eva had made for Tony for a wedding present:
Ms. Longoria, who with her stylist Robert Verdi, has had a longstanding
love affair with Piaget, also commissioned a one-of-a-kind timepiece as a
wedding gift for her MVP husband. "An extraordinary player deserves a truly
extraordinary watch," says Metzger. "This is the type of request we love at
Piaget because it's what we do best." Certain to become the most
sought-after watch by professional athletes around the world, the Piaget
'Number 9' is a specially customized version of the classic Piaget Polo
watch. It features a 43mm 18K white gold case and a makes a bold, handsome
statement with its slate grey 18K gold and titanium bezel and matching
slate grey dial. The 50 diamonds that form Mr. Parker's winning number 9
make it all his own.
Eva did a lovely job on the wedding rings: we love Piaget. We're not so sure about the watch -- it sounds a bit over the top. We were on board with the watch until they got to the part about spelling out Tony's number 9 with 50 diamonds. We find it quite interesting that Eva went with 18K white gold instead of platinum. Could the platinum trend be starting to wane?
