Some engagement ring details for Charlie Sheen’s proposal to Brooke Mueller have come to light courtesy NY POST’s: LIZ SMITH. They were introduced to each other in 2006 by Rebecca Gayheart, Brooke’s best friend, at a Victoria Secret party in Brett Ratner’s home.
Charlie surprised Brooke with a a Patek Philippe Calatrava watch from Robert Maron engraved on the back with: B. - Wanna get married? . . . Love - C. Maron has a listing of sold items, this watch might be the one.
As for the engagement ring? A radiant cut, 11-carat, natural yellow diamond set in a platinum ring made by Alon Barak of Beverly Hills. Personally I have doubts about the veracity of this part of the story as I’ve never heard of Alon Barak and Google only heard of him through Smith’s article. And maybe it’s just me, but does this quote sound like the Charlie Sheen you know?
Brooke was amazed. “Once I put the ring on her finger,” says Charlie, “you’ve never seen two happier people in your life.”
As a footnote, Smith concludes with some commentary about Conflict Diamonds. Her point being that the movie Blood Diamonds was supposed to affect the diamond industry, but sales are up, not down. While she makes a point, I still think this issue is not settled. It takes time to change an entrenched model. There are many trendsetters who are making other symbols to replace a diamond engagement ring and the threat is still alive. That’s why I think the industry has to get very serious about the issue with real solid moves rather than just a marketing campaign with a Kimberly seal of approval. No one wants to buy a romantic symbol dripped in blood, and no one wants to sell that or be involved in that industry either. Some greedy people making money in a cruel way make everyone in the chain look bad.
