It looks like there’s trouble brewing in the Alex Reid and Chantelle Houghton relationship. And less than a month ago, she was aired on TV flaunting both her engagement ring and her pregnant status. So what happened to make this sudden U-turn in the affair? Or is it just a speed breaker and will things be smooth sailing again? They have been together for nine months now and it looked like the news of a baby on the way would make them both very happy but news of Chantelle taking off her ring has hit the media.
Now why would Chantelle take off her engagement ring unless there were serious problems? Apparently, there’s been a lot of strain in the relationship for some time now even though she seems to have put on a brave front and both seem to have showed the world that all was well. With the removing of the engagement ring, it looked like she was all set to end it. However, their spokespeople tell the media that everything is all right and they are waiting with eagerness for the baby to be born. This, after Chantelle was seen storming out of the house after a row.
Just yesterday, however, she came forward and said things were fine and the winner of Celebrity Big Brother seemed very happy the way things were, tweeting about what she dismissed as rumours and saying that she removed her ring because it’s expensive and she is scared of being mugged or losing it.

Is there excitement or cynicism about Argwas having been seen at a jewellery store looking at diamond rings? He was spotted at a Loughton jeweller a few days ago and we wonder how the TV cameras were there so conveniently so the world could know about this move. All this of course, just before the beginning of the new TOWIE series – well, you can add two and two and see where it goes!
While he was examining the engagement rings, he was also seen to be texting someone no doubt sending them pictures and asking for their opinions. Was he sending the texts to a friend or was he asking Lydia? After all, she does have a lot of style and she wouldn’t want a diamond engagement ring that didn’t quite match up to what she expected.
What stood out was that Arg looked like the whole thing was one boring chore and not something that he was excited about. Considering that the two are supposed to be moving in together, it seems a bit strange that he is so untouched by any sense of excitement. There was a strong rumour recently that Lydia was pregnant but a few days ago, the couple denied it. This, after tweets from Arg about a little one on the way. Can you expect fans to be other than cynical about all these rumours, putting them all down as just ways of getting eyeballs for the show.

How far will people go to get an engagement ring that is unique? This man went the wholeni9ne yards and more because he knew his girlfriend was a huge Indiana Jones fan and he wanted to show just how much he cared enough to give her something that she would treasure. So he set out to design a ring that would be like no other but would be custom made and not off the shelf.
First, the engagement ring and then the proposal. He designed the ring with a bullwhip and then went on to look for a jewellery designer in Las Vegas, America to make it for him. It is a yellow diamond engagement ring and the colour of the diamond is reminiscent of the Idol in the series. The Idol might not ring a bell for everyone even if one has seen the movie or movies as the case may be but for an avid fan, it would be just the right button to push. And yellow happens to be her favourite colour. However, the ring took some time coming so here’s how the proposal went.
The guy proposed with a ring box and when the girl said Yes, he gave it to her. She opened it to find just sand inside the box and any other woman might have said No but not her. She understood the significance. This was to buy time till the ring got ready. When he did get the ring, he made a box fashioned out of old stuff to make it look like ruins inside and gave it to her with four other boxes, asking her to choose and choose wisely as it happens in the movie. If he has gone to so much trouble over the ring, one wonders what their wedding theme will be like!

In a city in Maryland in America, a man found his wedding ring – the one he was married with after twenty years. He had long since given up hope of finding it and then, out of the blue, someone knocked on his door and asked him if he had lost a wedding ring and could he describe it. So he did and the man went away and brought him his wedding ring.
Twenty years ago, Kelly lost his gold wedding ring and even though they looked everywhere, it was nowhere to be found so they just gave it up for lost. He and his wife Sue still live in their home and they were there when a worker asked if they had lost a wedding ring. Apparently he had found it while digging to fix a sign post outside their home, had taken it home and forgotten about it till he passed their home one day. So he decided to try his luck and locate the owner. Once he described the ring, the worker was sure that it belonged to Kelly and went home and got it for him.
This lost and found thing seems to0 run in the family because his mother had lost her wedding ring on their farm many years ago. Then, ten years later when they were ploughing their field, they found her ring. So they seem lucky in that they find what they lose. Kelly is so happy to be able to wear the ring he got married with and the worker is happy that he could join the wedding ring with its rightful owner.

Ever since business tycoon Nick Candy proposed to Holly Valance in the Maldives over the Christmas/New Year break, all eyes have been on her ring finger as she sashays forth between dos and events in London. However, she seems to be rather shy of flaunting it and even when Nick was with her, there were occasions when her ring was not on her finger.
She was seen at the Radio Times Cover Party and at the Faberge Big Egg Hunt party which was held at Quintessentially. The party kicked off the egg hunt all over London and these proceeds will go towards a charity for children and there are many celebrities who have been involved in this project. Her huge diamond engagement ring, however, seems to be off her finger for most of the time since they have got back after their holiday. So the only explanation seems to be that it has gone to be resized. With such a huge diamond, they wouldn’t want to take the chance of the ring slipping off just because it is a tad loose.
The engagement ring was very much on again at the Radio Times party and she was all dressed up too – in gold with shiny shoes with her ring flashing as she walked into Claridge’s for the party. The two of them met in 2009 and they moved in together the following year and she was really happy – if you go by her excited tweets when he proposed to her in the Maldives just before Christmas. The billionaire tycoon and she seem to be made for each other and are so happy in each other’s company.

It’s been two years since the actor tragically passed away but his wife kept her wedding ring on. Now, finally, she has decided that it is time to take it off. She is doing it after having added Swayze to her name so in some way, she still keeps him and his memory with her always. They were married for 34 years and when he died, Lisa Niemi Swayze wanted at least the ring to keep him alive for her.
A few months ago, she felt that it was time to remove it because it was after all, a symbol of being married to him in a physical sense. So she changed her name and with that, she’s kept him with her. She also feels that she is connected to him and this goes way beyond just a physical wedding ring. In an interview, she says that her connection is even deeper than before so maybe now, she does not feel the need of a ring to feel that.
Her book about him, Worth Fighting For: Love, Loss and Moving Forward is about their lives together, the ups and the downs and how she loved him, no matter what. She feels that to keep a relationship going, you have to hang in there and not give up, no matter how bad things are. Patrick had a drinking problem at one point of time and she did move out but came back when he turned over a new leaf. Then, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and in a few years, he was gone. It’s been hard for her but she’s come out of it and she’s willing to go on with him being a part of her.

The ring went missing a little before Christmas Day last year and the couple from Florida who it belonged to wanted to solve the mystery of the missing ring. The ring had been on the dresser, in a cup and it had disappeared. So the couple hired a private detective who had been a policeman to help them get the ring back. They also announced a huge reward.
The policeman began by giving all the people who could have been in the house a polygraph test. Simultaneously, he also scoured all the pawn shops in the neighbourhood and then went further afield, even to New York. After all, anyone would remember an emerald cut 11-carat diamond engagement ring that had been put up for sale. The cleaning lady in the house failed the test and he realised that she was a suspect. However, she avoided him and the police had to be called in to take her for questioning.
She had taken the diamond ring and sold it to buy food and Christmas presents for her children and as well as pay off some bills. She had taken it to a jeweller and told him that she had inherited from an aunt who died. She has been arrested and charged. The jeweller got the reward money and the couple are happy that they hired a private detective to help them find the ring which is not just valuable but also of great sentimental value to them.

The X Factor star has apparently been wearing a diamond ring on her finger for over a month now. It looks like the 18-year old singer and her boyfriend Craig Monk are engaged. He is 21 and he is a hairdresser and they had both gone together in November to Los Angeles in America. That was when people noticed the small diamond ring on her left hand ring finger.
They have been together for about nine months now and she has a small heart tattooed on that finger. Now she wears the diamond engagement ring over the tattoo. Even though she denied the news in the beginning, she is now very open about the fact that they are engaged and she tells everyone that it is Craig who helps her to stay sane. Sources say that she is madly in love with him and he is very supportive of her.
Cher Lloyd is from Worcestershire and her net worth is a lot considering just how her fame has spread thanks to the X Factor. Simon Cowell signed her up with his company after the finals and when Swagger Jagger, her first album was released it climbed to the top in the UK charts. She’s had a great deal of success and she’s still so young. Too young to get engaged? Well, some think so but for her, Craig is everything that is sweet, supportive and secure right now and that is what she wants on her life right now.

That’s some obsession – that a fan can buy an engagement ring and travel all the way from America to the UK to present it to the object of his affections. Especially when she doesn’t even know of his existence. So why would he spend a lot of money and travel across the Atlantic just to hear her say No? Well that’s what a lot of fan feeling is all about – obsession that goes beyond the realm of reason.
He bought the ring from Tiffany’s and he paid over £3200 for it. It was a gold sapphire and diamond engagement ring and he was determined to go propose to the singer who is known to be a recluse. He also seems to be very enterprising and he got the exact location of her house through Google maps and then proceeded to get there. When he got there, he realised that she was not at home but broke in anyway and decided to wait for her.
Maybe as he waited, it suddenly dawned on him that what he was doing was insane so he ran away in panic and it was while he was running that someone reported him and the police arrested him. He even had his suitcase with him which he was dragging along as he ran. His explanation was that he somehow felt very connected to the singer and he wanted to love and protect her. He has been deported now, back to America and hopefully Kate Bush can heave a sigh of relief.

What would Martin have done without Twitter? He lost his wedding ring when it fell into the recycling bin when he was emptying stuff into it for recycling. Together with the cardboard that he was stuffing in, his wedding ring slipped off and fell in too. He tried to peer into the container which was all of six feet in height but he couldn’t see a thing inside. So he went home and called the emergency numbers.
However, as it was a Sunday, no one answered and Martin was at the end of his tether wondering how he could get his wedding ring back. So he made a last ditch effort – he went onto Twitter and tweeted to the recycling services account. He sent them a message asking them to help and he also took a picture of the container and sent it along too. They got back to him in half an hour and put him in touch with the manager of that area who swung into action and stopped them from sending that particular container for recycling.
Then he and a helper went through everything in that container till they finally found the ring which was inside a cardboard box. What a relief it must have been for him. This, even though his wife had told him not to worry and that finally all it was really was a bit of metal. But he’s happy to get it back on his finger and as a token of appreciation, he took a box of chocolates round to the people who had helped him get the ring back.
