Bitchy Bridesmaid

From all that I have read there is a lot of etiquette on how I, the bride, am supposed to treat my bridesmaids, but I am having a very hard time finding advice on how to deal with an overly competative  and somewhat selfish bridesmaid. 

While she and I used to be best friends, we grew apart as soon as her boyfriend came into the picture about a year ago.  I have taken responsibility for my part of our fall out, but she has never said anything to me. 

Now that I am engaged (she is not) every time my wedding comes up, she quickly takes the conversation.  When I was showing my ring to my group of bridesmaids she began discussing the size and shape that hers would be.  And the examples only get more competative from there. 

I am not a competative person, and while it might sound a little selfish, this is my time and I am tired of her taking the spotlight. 

Has anyone else dealt with this?  If so, how can I handle this without coming across as a bridezilla?

Thanks!!
