Tara Moss Gets Engagement Ring On Pont Neuf

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

He proposed on the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris – what better romantic place – and she accepted and they both exchanged engagement rings. It happened early in the morning when the air was cold and crisp and the sun was just rising.

Tara Moss and Berndt Sellheim have known each other for quite a while and they both are from the literary field. He has a PhD in philosophy and is a poet to boot and she, from being a model, is fast becoming an author to contend with. Her new novel is set to be released in September. Of course, she is also said to be very ambitious and that perhaps is why she walked out on her previous marriage to easy-going Mark Pennell, the film producer.

The diamond engagement rings were designed by Australian jeweller Nic Cerrone and they just had to get engaged in the most romantic city in the world before heading back to Australia.

Is Jake Gyllenhaal buying an engagement ring?

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Does it look like Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are finally going to tie the knot? Speculation was rife when Jake was spotted jewellery shopping in New York. Of course, the rumours flew fast and swift when he spent almost four hours in that jewellery store. That too, in the rings section – so who can blame people when they talk?

The couple have been dating for around two years now. What Jake also does is to try and spend a lot of time with Reese’s children from her previous marriage. The children are nine and five. The Brokeback mountain star and the Legally Blonde actress are going to Egypt for a holiday and it looks like it’s going to be engagement time in the shade of the pyramids. A wonderful and ancient place indeed to pop the question!

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

In Kuala Lumpur, Sunway ran a Valentine’s Day contest called Traces of Love and here’s what a couple had to do to enter. The contest was held at a mall in town. They had to leave their handprints on a wall and then write a love message. The message that was decided to be the most creative and the most – well, loving – would win the prize. The prize was two diamond rings.

There were 92 entries in all and the couple that won the first prize was Yong Hin Hon and Ching Siew Yin and the message that they had written was: ‘You are the cupid’s dart that goes straight to my beating heart.’ So they walked away with the diamond rings and more – they also got a coupon for a dinner at the Sunway Resort and two Sunway Theme Park tickets.

According to Yong, the message they wrote was straight from the heart – when you’ve met the right one, love messages like these obviously flow.

Platinum And Diamond Rings Stolen in Ballymena

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

County Antrim in Northern Ireland witnessed a daring daylight heist of platinum and diamond rings from a jewellery store in Ballymena. Two men walked into the store and made off with three rings. Together, the three rings were worth thousands of pounds.

Descriptions of the two men have been circulated all over and the public has been warned to report anyone who is caught trying to dispose of these stolen goods. The men were believed to be from Eastern Europe. Any suspicious activity should be reported – at least that is the appeal the police have made, hoping to make some kind of headway in this case.

Apparently the theft occurred in the afternoon at Caldwells Jewellers when the two men made off with the tray in which the rings were kept.

Jenna Jameson Gets Rid Of Tattoo With Her Engagement Ring

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Time was when Jenna Jameson not only had a huge diamond rock for an engagement ring, she also had a tattoo that was done to make sure it came right under the band of the ring. That was when she was engaged to Jay Grdina and she proudly flaunted her nine and a half carat diamond engagement ring. Well, the ring as well as the tattoo are off now and consigned to history. Jenna, who battled with cancer and won, is in a happy state of mind these days.

Today, Jenna is with Tito Ortiz and they are happily awaiting the birth of their twins. This, after struggling for years to get pregnant in her previous relationship must have been a great relief. Jenna claim to fame is the fact that she has been accorded the title ‘The Queen of Porn’ from where she quickly went on to make the X-rated business a very profitable one for her and her partner Jay – they got married later. Her firm got so popular that you have aspiring stars today vie to get a contract through her firm.

Jenna has always been shrewd in her business dealings and has a lot more than one would imagine that a star in her kind of roles would have. She has run her business with a lot of determination and savoir faire and has managed both the business and her life successfully.

Diamond Rings Dazzle The Oscars

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

The Oscars is one place where you will find a concentration of stars as well as dazzle. The red carpet this time was no different – if anything there was a lot more sparkle to the proceedings with everyone turning up in their best, dripping with diamonds. The 81st Oscars in Los Angeles at the Kodak Theatre was really a show to behold in diamonds, dazzle and elegance.

The styles were straight off a fashion ramp and the actresses all looked model-like as they glided in with their impeccable gowns which were clingy, pleated or layered and altogether charming. Anne Hathaway matched her diamond pavé ring with a bracelet, brooch and earrings and looked stunning. So did Kate Winslet with her elegant pulled back hair and her wonderful ring complemented with diamond cluster earrings and a bracelet.

Penelope Cruz appeared with diamonds everywhere as did Marisa Tomei, Natalie Portman and Heidi Klum. There were so many more, each one lighting up the red carpet with such brilliance as they entered, wearing their wonderful diamonds with style and élan!

Were They Both Wearing Engagement Rings?

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

Geri Halliwell who shot to fame in the nineties as one of the Spice Girls was seen walking around the streets of London with Fabrizio Politi, the Italian yacht tycoon and they were both wearing engagement rings. Now we do know that male engagement tings or ‘mengagement rings’ as some prefer to call them are becoming very popular and fashionable so maybe it wasn’t such a surprise to hear about it.

Apparently they met in Florence at a night club opening and they hit it off right away. They were then spotted dining together in Paris. What’s even better, Fabrizio gets on very well with Geri’s daughter. They were together right through the Christmas and New Year week.

Engagement rings for men seem to be fast becoming a trend and it’s great to see men wearing a piece of jewellery with such élan!

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

That was the question on everyone’s lips as news spread that he and Nancy Shevell were seen shopping at an exclusive jewellery store. The legend was in Los Angeles for the Grammy Awards – and he won an award.

When the couple were seen at Neil Lane’s famous store at Beverly Hills, speculation obviously ran rife especially when it was known that they spent well over an hour there. Nancy has just got a divorce from Bruce Blakeman and that took place a fortnight ago. So is she ready for another marriage so soon? From all accounts, it would appear so. The Beatles star has had his share of marital sorrow and problems and one hopes this time round, it’s going to be a happy phase he is entering.

Jade Goody And Lover Exchange Engagement Rings

Friday, February 20th, 2009

With the television star Jade Goody being told that she has just a few months to live, it is poignant indeed that she and her partner Jack Tweed have exchanged engagement rings and will be getting married this Sunday. Jade is suffering from cervical cancer and it has spread, leaving her with not much hope.

She is weak but she went to Harrods to choose a wedding gown and come Sunday, even though she feels she is losing her balance, she would prefer to get married in a country house in Hertfordshire, which is an Italian style mansion that is run like a hotel. She does not want to be married in the hospital as she says she knows she is going to die there. What she wants to do is to walk down the aisle. Her sons are five and four and she shopped for clothes for them too.

All said and done, Jade has a very visible presence in the media and we’re sure that the whole event is going to be a very newsworthy one.

The engagement ring that Salma wore was made of platinum and had a diamond that was oval-shaped and must easily have been over five carats.
