Jean Dousset Designs Engagement Ring for Eva Longoria
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Dec. 4 /found at biz.yahoo.com--
"I built the ring around her persona: confident, delicate, and very
feminine. That gave me the base of the design. Tony wanted to surprise her with
the proposal and the ring. That gave me the stakes," said Jean Dousset.

Eva Longoria, with husband Tony Parker, has adopted his last name.
"That'd be Madame Parker."
The emerald cut diamond ring has 248 diamonds and took 116 hours of work to
complete. "I wanted the ring to have one unique and original idea.
Something that no one has done before, that would be between Tony and Eva. I
asked him to handwrite a personal message to her. His handwriting was then
engraved inside the shank of the ring, for her eyes only," said Jean
Dousset. "Beyond the execution and the design, I am most proud that the
ring has a personal imprint of Tony inside it," continued Jean Dousset.
After working with the prestigious French jewelers, Jean has decided to open
his "atelier" (workshop), and will soon follow with a collection of
jewelry. He presently works with select celebrity clients.
"As Tony & Eva's friend, I am very touched to have been asked to be
a part of this very special moment for both of them. I wish them only love and
more love," Jean said.
Her marriage didn't work out on "Desperate Housewives," but things
are looking rosy in real life for Eva Longoria: She's engaged to her beau, the
basketball star Tony Parker. "Tony flew into Los Angeles last night after
his game and surprised Eva at her home as she got off work," her publicist,
Liza Anderson, said in an e-mail. "The proposal was romantic and perfect.
The couple plans to wed in France in the summer of 2007 in what they describe as
a big, happy ceremony with lots of family and friends." Longoria, 31, who
plays crafty Gabrielle Solis on the hit ABC show, met Parker, a 24-year-old
Frenchman, in the San Antonio Spurs' locker room after a game two years ago.
