Charity Rejects Mariah’s Wedding Ring Designer for Shady Past
Jacob Arabo also known as Jacob the Jeweler, was once the jeweler of choice for celebrities from Jay Z to Elton John.
Arabo, who designed Mariah Carey’s $2.5 million wedding rock, was banned from hosting a charity event on Wednesday for NYC’s Hale House. A spokesperson for the charity tells the New York Daily News, “Hale House completely disassociated itself from [Arabo].”
Arabo is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to money laundering and giving false statements to federal agents. He was accused of laundering $270 million dollars for the Black Mafia Family in June 2006. (Source)

Jacob the jeweler is still in business??? Wow I’d be scared to take that route.
Wow! I thought he was out of business too….money talks! In this day and age, you have to stash a buck or two!!
I wouldnt want him coming to my charity, he is a crook for real
Ok….and?
they did the right thing…
I guess I am sort of of the subject, but what is that black stuff in Mariah’s mouth? A cavity? Hmmm…
The ring is beautiful!!!!
Jacob needs to sit down and lay low!!! He needs to serve time!!!
Good connecting this to Mimi, lol!!! Jacob has iced every small and big rapper for years, you might as well add in all of them too. Dude has always been shady, one has to consider he works with cash mostly.
Damn, I did not know that ****!
Trying to say something nice…hmmm…the color of her manicure is cute!
Wow Jacob thats terrible, they gonna hit his head with some serious time, then again he isn’t black & has money for a decent lawyer so he may be able to get off(??) I know he was still doing business but I don’t think he has his shop anymore!!
