The Harmony ring is made of rhodium - the world's most expensive metal --and encrusted with diamonds. It is being hastily made by Italian designer Giovanni Bosco in time for January's inauguration ceremony.

It would be kinda ironic if one of Barry’s great, great, great grandfathers sold off one of Michelle’s great, great, great, grandfathers. Barry himself doesn’t have any American slave ancestry.

Gotta have dat bling!
Did they have to make the picture of that God awful ugly ring so HUGE??
It doesn't look like it costs 20,000 pounds but it SURE LOOKS LIKE IT WEIGHS 20,000 pounds!
Biblical prohibitions against bad language prevent me from expressing myself here.
I keep praying and praying for Obama, I wish more people would do the same (for him to change his mind on everything!).
compare this with what little they personally give to charity
million dollar annual earners of late
Halston and Bill Blass aren’t around any more. I doubt that Michelle even knows who they were.
LOL. I'd go, but my MOPP gear's at the cleaners. I'd love to know what Barry's fellow socialists make of this, though.
