Diamond Engagement Rings Specialist

Ever heard of a $40,000 ring being lost in mud? According to the company that sold the ring, it happens often enough. Not all the items that are lost turn up. Often they are gone forever and if they are found, even laser inscriptions don’t often help in tracing the real owners. Though the angles of a diamond’s cut can help identify it, it is hardly like a fingerprint where one could trace a specific customer. What’s more, people might report the theft of a ring but when it’s lost, they might feel terrible but don’t bother to report it.

People are careless about their jewelry. Often they are left on towels on the beach, where they get lost in the sand. Mervis’s company uses details like a diamond’s cut to trace it to the owner. But that does not always help. The best chance for a reunion is when a customer turns up claiming a ring. The $ 40,000 ring recently found by Keith and Linda Stetzer had no identifying details except the company’s stamp.

A lot of class rings and engagement rings are being misplaced these days. Strangely, owners do turn up, sometimes after long intervals. A Michigan woman got back her class ring after 15 long years. She had dropped it in Lake Michigan. What about the Utah woman who dismantled a dish water dryer and garbage disposal searching for her $7000 ring. It turned up all right, but on another woman’s finger. The owner’s husband spotted it - after all he was the Sheriffs deputy!

No day passes without people searching for their lost rings. Women take them off, leave them in all odd places, they slip off and go down the drain, sometimes the wearer has no idea just when the ring slipped off her finger. However rings, especially when they are diamond engagement rings, have a special sentimental value attached to them so the loss is always felt deeply.

Uma Thurman’s huge engagement ring was followed by a huge engagement party in London with a huge list of celebrities – only to be expected as her fiancé is none other that playboy multi millionaire Swiss financier Arpad Arki Busson. The party included names like Elton John, Bob Geldof, Sting, Liz Hurley and Claudia Schiffer.

The diamond engagement ring has been described by a friend as something that can’t fit through the sleeve of her coat! It really is huge – and grand as well. If reports are true, the ring has an 8-carat diamond in the centre and that is encircled by 20 smaller diamonds. Only to be expected, one would say, from a financier like Arki. The engagement was announced on the 28th of June after which the couple went off to celebrate in St. Tropez, followed by the party in London and a few days ago, a party in Manhattan.

Uma Thurman, who shot to fame with Pulp Fiction and then the Kill Bill series, was married to Ethan Hawke and they have two children. He recently got married to his girlfriend. Busson was with super model Elle MacPherson for a long time. He is the founder-chairman of a fund management group in London – the EIM Group. Rumours say that a long time ago, he vowed that someday she would be his wife. While she vowed never to get married after her divorce. Well, when that day does dawn, the world can be prepared for a wedding that is going to be an even huger event than the engagement, that’s for sure. With a diamond engagement ring like that to start things off, the only way to go would be even more dazzling!

Yes, that’s what Nicole Kidman is going to be getting from her husband Keith Urban and it could be any time, very soon. And it looks like she doesn’t know. The excited father-to-be has bought the $73,000 Cartier ring as a gift that will be given to Nicole in the delivery room. Now isn’t that sweet!

The diamond ring is a special trinity ring and it is very like the ones that Katie Holmes and Cameron Diaz own. This diamond ring is actually made up if three rings – one of yellow gold, one of rose gold and one of white gold. All three symbolise something. Yellow gold stands for friendship, rose gold stands for love and white gold symbolises fidelity. Put together, they are the three progressive stages in a relationship. It’s a wonderful all-in-one ring to show off just how a relationship like theirs has grown and blossomed.

In this case, at this point of time, the diamond trinity ring also stands for the new family of three. From being a couple and just the two of them, it’s going to be a threesome. From being Keith and Nicole, from now on, it’s going to be Keith and Nicole and the baby. Now that wonderful feeling is reason enough for such an expensive diamond ring from Cartier, wouldn’t you say? Well, some people say it with flowers, some say it with jewellery and some say it with jewellery that’s got ‘rich and famous’ written all over it!

There’s a $200 billion spending power group out there and they are between 15 and 30. The children of the baby boomers are all grown up and wield an awesome power when it comes to spending the green stuff. What better target for the diamond trade than this group that’s ripe for the picking?

The older ones in this demographic group would be the ones who would be looking at diamond engagement rings but don’t be too quick to write off the younger ones in this group when it comes to diamonds. Generation Y could surprise you with the things they buy. Now, a girl does not look upon her engagement ring as her first diamond. More and more younger women are buying diamonds that have nothing to do with weddings or engagements. They’re buying diamonds because they love them. They’ve got the money, they’ve got the savoir faire and now they can buy themselves their own dazzle – in diamonds. There are statistics to show how these women in their twenties earn salaries that are very often much more than their male counterparts so why shouldn’t they indulge themselves in diamond jewellery that doesn’t need a reason to be bought for? These could be fashion pieces to go with their fashionable outfits and no, very often, they are not diamond rings.

Even when it comes to diamond engagement rings, this age group seems to have a lot more to spend on the diamonds. They shop for the stones that are bigger, better and they seem to know what they want and will not settle for second best. Well, the diamonds of today seem to have found their right setting indeed!

Recently, this famous jewellery house had a fashion show to exhibit its latest bridal collection of wedding gowns and wedding jewellery. The gowns were designed by Eymeric Francois, the young and upcoming haute couture designer from France and featured some very special gowns, many of them sensual and revealing. The gowns feature lace, trimmings of gold, Japanese kimono-like gowns and gowns fashioned like corsets.

The jewellery that was unveiled was Van Cleef & Arpels’s latest bridal collection called the ‘French Kiss’. The collection included a stunning range of diamond engagement rings, wedding rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets. The collection breathes love through every design – there are heart-shaped diamonds, solitaires, diamonds in flowery patterns and in gossamer lace designs.

The collection will be on view till the 11th of July in Seoul and you can view them at some of the major boutiques. During this exhibition, there will be specially-commissioned paper dolls in wedding gowns that will be a part of the decorative background for the jewellery.

The French Kiss is probably a collection that befits the Van Cleef & Arpels legacy considering that the jewellery design store came into being with a love story – that of Alfred Van Cleef and Estelle Arpels who fell in love and set up the Paris store in Place Vendome which still figures as its main store. From this flagship store, there have been so many diamond engagement rings that have been bought to declare a couple’s love to the world – and this list includes royalty as well as the rich and famous.

It was first spotted at Nobu, the upmarket eating place in Los Angeles. We’re talking about Cameron Diaz and her diamond engagement ring which is the subject right now of much, well, talk. Her publicist says she isn’t engaged and the public want to know why then, is she wearing the diamond ring on her engagement finger?

According to sources, the ring was designed by Lenore Marusak, a friend of Cameron’s for La Paix and there is a vehement denial from her people to state that it is her own ring and not an engagement ring given to her by anyone.

Cameron Diaz hasn’t been romantically linked with any man for any great length of time since she split with Justin Timberlake over a year ago, except for a short while with Jared Leto. Well, we all know that Justin and Jessica are supposed to be engaged so could it just be that this engagement thing is infectious and Cameron and her current model boyfriend are thinking of making it official? Paul Sculfor and Cameron have been spotted all over Hollywood cuddling up to each other and reports say that at the restaurant, Cameron was proudly showing off the ring. It’s been just a month since they have started dating so if that is a diamond engagement ring, that’s pretty fast work!

Well, her publicist stands by the official story that it is her own ring and the person who designed it is a producer who works on Newlyweds, the MTV reality show. Then why did Cameron wear the ring on her engagement ring finger is what everyone would like to know.
