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.”

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
