LEFT IN THE COLD

Paris Hilton's new fiance has been relegated to precious cargo No. 2 -- he was left eating dust after Paris and her $2 million engagement ring jumped into a waiting SUV.

This video is hilarious ... Chris Zylka was virtually kicked to the curb after the happy couple arrived at LAX Thursday night. Paris and her new 20 carat ring were already secured in the whip, and while Chris was still loading up ... the ride bolted.

NBD ... Chris plays it off pretty smoothly. Welcome to the rest of your life, bro.

Paris Hilton Protecting Her Rock, Around the Clock

The only downside to getting a $2 million engagement ring, is having to protect the engagement ring -- but Paris Hilton's hired some full-time muscle to get the job done.

Sources close to Paris and her fiance, Chris Zylka, tell us they've had 24/7 security shadowing them -- and specifically the ring -- ever since he put a ring on it last weekend.

AN ETERNITY IN PARIS

We're told Paris feels it's best to have someone on guard at all times because of the rash of celeb burglaries this past year ... including the jewelry heist at her aunt Kyle Richards' house. There's also the Paris ordeal her former BFF, Kim Kardashian, endured.

Our sources say Paris already has around the clock security at her home. The ring squad is always with her and that rock, but they're in street clothes ... so it's not so obvious.

Michael Jordan's Son Engaged! HUGE Diamond Ring!

Michael Jordan's oldest son is engaged ... and he popped the question with a diamond ring the size of a knuckle!!

29-year-old Jeffrey Jordan recently proposed to his longtime GF, Radina Aneva ... and she said, "Yes!"

Aneva works in the film industry in Los Angeles. Jordan is a former college basketball player, the oldest of MJ's 5 kids and goes by the nickname, "Heir Jordan."

No word on when the wedding will go down, but the two are definitely in planning mode.

Congrats!

BLING BATTLE
TMZ.com

Offset and Cardi B are giving props to Paris Hilton for her new giant engagement ring, but Offset's hinting he got a way better deal when he scooped up Cardi's rock.

The hot couple was doing some shopping in Bev Hills Wednesday when we asked what they thought of Hilton's $2 million piece from Chris Zylka. The Migos rapper tells us it's in the same ballpark as the one he got Cardi ... despite the $1.5 mil difference.

For the record, Cardi's bling weighs in around 11 carats, while Paris's ring is 20. Simple math will tell ya ... Offset's a smart shopper!

We also ask if they think they should be headlining at Coachella -- both are on this year's Sunday lineup -- and we think it's a yes, but we'll let Offset speak for them.

Kim Kardashian Our Home Is Now Jewelry Free!!! New Mansion, New Policy

Kim and Kanye's new mansion -- the one they spent years renovating and finally moved into a few weeks ago -- has its first house rule ... NO JEWELRY ALLOWED!!!

Our Kardashian sources tell us Kim decided to put the policy in place at the Hidden Hills home because she doesn't want it to be a target for thieves. In essence, she's throwing up her version of the bat signal ... NOTHING TO STEAL HERE!

We're told the very few pieces that Kim does still own are being stored elsewhere -- under constant supervision -- with very elaborate security measures to get to it. And despite the lack of jewelry at their new place ... we're told armed security's still on guard 24/7.

The move makes it clear ... the trauma of the Paris robbery is still on Kim and Kanye's minds. Especially with a new baby due this month.

Our sources say if and when Kim does decide to wear jewelry of her own again, it'll be replicas or fakes.. However, we're told if Kim decides to borrow real pieces for an event, it will NOT be allowed in the home ... a stylist will meet with her right before said event and take it back right after.

As we've reported ... there have also been a string of celebrity burglaries over the past year, with 'Real Housewives' Kyle Richards being the most recent victim.

Lesson learned for Kim.

Paris Hilton I Only Have Eyes For My Ice!!!

Paris Hilton can't take her eyes off her new BFF ... and we're not talking about her fiance Chris Zylka.

Paris had a laser lock on the giant 20-carat, $2 million engagement ring Tuesday as the couple took a romantic stroll around Aspen.

Not on accident -- of this we're sure -- Paris was wearing fingerless gloves, but no glove could hope to contain that gem.

As we reported, Zylka popped the question mid-mountain over New Year's weekend -- and he's probably been competing with the rock for Paris' attention ever since.

They really are a girl's best friend. A really big best friend.

Paris Hilton & Chris Zylka Ring Worth $2 Mil ... He Hatched Plan in the Summer

Paris Hilton's monstrous diamond engagement ring is worth about $2 million -- but the crazier part is when Chris Zylka knew she was the one, and ordered the rock.

Celeb jeweler Michael Greene, who designed Paris' multi-million dollar bling, tells TMZ ... Chris reached out to place his order 5 to 6 months ago, back in the summer.

Keep in mind ... Paris and Chris had just gone public with their relationship back in February, so it was likely less than a year into things that he decided he wanted to lock down Paris.

Greene also tells us the huge diamond -- 20 carats strong -- took about 4 months to cut, and the setting only took a couple days. He says Chris came in to get it right before their Aspen ski trip.

We're told Chris was shaking when he picked it up because he was "so nervous." With that kind of hardware in his pocket, we would be too.

Joey Bada$$ Forever Chained to his Late Friend

Joey Bada$$ found a way to memorialize his late best friend and still look like a baller.

The rapper commissioned a custom piece to honor his boy, Capital STEEZ, who at 19 committed suicide on Christmas Eve 5 years ago. We're told JB hit up celebrity jeweler Mr. Flawless a few months back to make the piece that features 14k gold and VVS diamonds. Final price ... around $50k.

The tedious process included sculpting Capital's face in gold ... a 2-month job. The back features the hip-hop Pro Era group logo "47" ... of which Bada$$ is a member and Capital founded.

And because you're probably thinking it ... the "47" logo does indeed look like the Nazi flag, which is what the group intended to draw attention to. It's supposed to represent the logo's ancient meaning -- peace, love and balance.

Rich the Kid $pent a Grip on a Necklace!!!

CHAIN GAME FROZEN

Rich the Kid lived up to his name with some new bling ... spending as much as normal folks do on their mortgage.

The New York rapper dropped around -- get this -- TWO. HUNDRED. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. for this pendant to celebrate his hit single, "New Freezer," featuring Kendrick Lamar.

The chain's rose and white gold, but what's blinding you (and feel free to grab some shades) are the 2,790 encrusted diamonds. It's the handy work of Icebox Diamonds & Watches in the ATL.

So fresh and so bling, bling.

Joey Bada$$ & T-Pain We Be Flossin' Thanks to Our CEO!!!

Joey Bada$$ went gold in 2017, and T-Pain re-emerged with a comeback album ... both worthy celebratory occasions that inspired their record label's CEO to splurge on gold and diamonds.

Jonny Shipes -- CEO of Cinematic Music Group -- dropped $75k for the chains featuring each rapper's logo on the back and the label's logo on the front. The pendant -- encrusted with VS-1 diamonds -- is the handiwork of celebrity jeweler Will Da Boss.

Joey's big 2017 got off to a quick start when his single, "Devastated," earned him his first gold plaque. Not to be outdone, T-Pain released his fifth studio album, "Oblivion" ... his first album in 6 years.

Another reason for the pendants? Creating a chain to join the iconic chain ranks of those from Roc-A-Fella and OVO. Mission accomplished.

Russia's Biggest Soccer Star Balls Out Before World Cup ... With Iced Out Rolex!

Yeah, tensions are high ... but there's one thing Russian and American superstar athletes have in common -- they LOVE expensive jewelry.

Case in point ... Aleksandr Kokorin -- the biggest soccer star in Russia, a 26-year-old striker on the World Cup team.

He's also rich as hell -- and just dropped a cool $100,000 on a custom Rolex watch and diamond necklace combo.

Kokorin hit up Dave Bling and Big Will at DWS Jewelry & Co. in NYC for a "Rainbow Rolly" -- comprised of multicolored VS-1 diamonds on the bezel.

Kokorin issued a statement about the pieces through the jeweler ... saying, "I always want to create something that feels unique to me. This watch reminds me that even though time is expensive and serious, it can also be fun and enjoyable."

Ivanka's Jewelry Company Sued You Took Our Jewelry and Stiffed Us!!!

Nov. 30 2017 -- A rep for Ivanka's brand adds the licensing deal with Madison Avenue Diamonds was terminated by the Ivanka Trump brand last december.

3:39 PM PT -- A spokesperson for the Ivanka Trump brand tells TMZ, "Madison Avenue Diamonds is owned by a separate party and was a typical licensing deal. This matter involving an independent third party has absolutely nothing to do with the Ivanka Trump brand. In fact, the defendant in question owes the brand a significant amount of money."

Ivanka Trump's jewelry company is being sued for skipping out on its bills.

Raselli Franco, an Italian jeweler who manufactures and sells fine jewelry to retailers, claims he sold Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry $56,833 in bling. Ivanka's company agreed to pay in 4 installments, but he says they have not paid $21,222.

Franco says he gave Ivanka's company an extension to pay the bill but got zilch.

Ivanka's company began paying a year ago but missed several payment deadlines.

We reached out to Ivanka's rep ... so far no word back.

Alex Rodriguez Cup Checked By J Lo ... I'm Blinged Out Too!

The couple that bedazzles together ...

Christmas came early for Alex Rodriguez this year ... by way of a blinged-out coffee cup, courtesy of his smokin' hot girlfriend.

After Jennifer Lopez iced out her own coffee mug, she decided she wanted A-Rod to have a matching sipper ... and surprised him with one of the fanciest coffee cups ever -- complete with his company logo.

As we previously reported, Jennifer's cup cost around $600 ... and A-Rod's runs around $500.

You fancy, huh?!

HEAD OVER HEELS
BBC.co.uk

Prince Harry hadn't even finished his proposal when Meghan Markle kept interrupting -- CAN I SAY YES NOW?!

The newly engaged couple dished details about their engagement in an interview with the BBC ... revealing some pretty spectacular details about how it all went down. According to the couple ... the engagement happened a few weeks ago earlier this month at Harry's Nottingham Cottage inside Kensington Palace.

Harry got down on one knee and made his case ... but apparently a way-too-excited Meghan couldn't and wouldn't let him finish before charmingly butting in and asking, "Can I say yes now?" Adorbs.

And check this out ... Harry included 2 diamonds that belonged to his mother, Princess Diana, in Meghan's engagement ring "to make sure that she's with us on this crazy journey together."

Harry and Meghan met about a year and a half ago, but the relationship was turbocharged just 4 weeks into it ... when they headed to Botswana. Turns out, they never went more than 2 weeks without seeing each other. Completely fooled us.

Again ... congrats!

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry First Appearance Since Announcing Engagement

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their first public appearance since announcing their engagement.

The couple walked hand-in-hand at Kensington Palace's Sunken Garden and fans gathered outside the gates to cheer them on.

Kensington Palace is where Harry grew up with his parents, Charles and Diana. It's also where William and Kate call home.

As for Meghan's ring ... it's made of 3 stones -- 2 diamonds from Princess Diana's personal collection and a third stone from Botswana where the couple recently went on holiday.

Future I Get By With a Lotta Birthday Ice from My Friends

Some friends buy a beer for a friend's birthday, but Future's peeps drop around half a million bucks to get him dripping in diamonds.

The rapper was in Miami and hit up The Forge last weekend for a 34th bday celebration. We're told The Weeknd hooked him up with an icy "Low Life" pendant ... his manager, Ebonie Ward, gave him diamond-crusted dog tags -- and Young Scooter got him a BMFBG piece.

We're told all of the bling was commissioned by Avianne Jewelry in NYC. Elliot Avianne even threw in an awesome Pluto pendant. Bonus! Add in the 2 rings he scored from family members ... and Future's total haul was worth about $500k!!!

Mask off, jewelry on!
