Malaysia Pargo cast member of the VH1’s Basketball Wives L.A. and wife of NBA Player Jannero Pargo, is combining her love of family and diamonds to create Three Beats Jewelry, a jewelry collection for children with grown up appeal. The collection is named Three Beats after the three beats of her own heart -her twin daughters and son. Many of the pieces are encrusted with diamonds and gems made by Jason Arasheben, Beverly Hills jeweler to players in the NBA and NFL. Pargo decided to create a jewelry line with Arashben, who designed the L.A. Lakers 2010 Championship ring.
“My son is five years old and bought his first piece from Jason,” Pargo says. “I went to Jason because we have worked with him before and he designed my wedding ring.”
Three Beats Jewelry line features an ice cream cone covered in 1.61 carats of white and cognac diamonds, a colorful Skittle inspired bracelet immersed in 11.10 carats of blue topaz, white and yellow diamonds and rubies, and a 20 carat diamond robot. All of the pieces are set in 14k white gold. Malaysia’s favorite pieces are the pieces inspired by her family such as the robot and the diamond encrusted play station controller.

“The most popular piece is the strawberry. It is made of real sapphires and it looks just like a real strawberry,” Malaysia says. “…but my favorite piece is the robot. My son and husband a used to make fun of me and pretend to be robots, especially when I was pregnant. And of course the controller because you spend so much time trying to get them away from the video games”
Malaysia always puts her family first and as a mother of three, wife, and reality TV star puts God first in order to make the best decisions for her family. When it was time to begin taping the show she was cautious regarding the exposure her children receive.
“I didn’t want my children on the show and I was very cautious about having them filmed,” Malaysia says. “On the show I do I what I usually do in real life.”
Her persona on L.A.Basketball Wives has made her a favorite among the Basketball Wives and garners support from her peers. Three Beats Jewelry collection launch attracted celebrities such guests such as fellow VH1 Basketball Wive Imani Showalter, Atlanta Hawks player Joe Johnson,wife of Chicago Bull coach Audrey Griffin, former All Pro Chicago Bear Jerry Azumah, NFL player Garrett Wolfe, former NBA player Antoine Walker, celebrity makeup artist Tia Dantzler, Fox’s MasterChef top four contestant Suzy Singh, hip hop artist Bambi, and business partner and celebrity jeweler Jason Arasheben. The guests were the first to see and purchase jewelry from the collection. The pieces range from $300 for a butterfly to $10,00 for a custom bracelet and Malaysia ishoping Three Beats Jewelry becomes the among celebrity children.
