The actor reached out to jewelry designer friend.

Actor Jesse Metcalfe tells AP that with some assistance, he designed the diamond engagement ring he gave his fiancee, actress Cara Santana (shown, with ring, in Instagram video). According to the interview, the “John Tucker Must Die” star reached out to a friend, jewelry maker Adam Campbell, for help creating the ring, which features an emerald-cut diamond. “I wanted a really feminine, delicate low-profile setting and band,” Metcalfe says, “with diamonds all the way around the band and the basket, and really small prongs holding the diamond.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
