Dez Bryant sued over jewelry

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is being sued for non-payment of $246,000 worth of jewelry by a New York-based company in a civil suit filed Friday in Dallas.

Bryant purchased $267,000 worth of jewelry from A+A Diamonds LTD d/b/a Rafaello & Company, which makes high-end jewelry for celebrities and athletes.

Bryant's attorney, Texas state Sen. Royce West, said they are trying to settle the issue.

"Is there a relationship between Dez and the jeweler? Yes," West said Monday afternoon. "The issue is how much is owed and when it's due. That's the issue. I think we'll solve it quickly."

6. It keeps growing. Over $850K now.

Bryant is a dazzling receiver and punt returner on the field. He also tends to be at the center of sensational stories, from getting stuck picking up the tab for a $54,896 dinner with teammates to a Dolphins executive being punished for asking in a pre-draft interview whether Bryant's mother was a prostitute.
