She’s wearing a gold ring and it’s right there on her wedding finger so naturally, everyone wants to know if Naomi Watts is married. The actress from Australia, who is 41, has been with Liev Schreiber for a while now and they have two children, Sasha and Samuel.
She was, and still is, one of the most bankable female stars there is. However, she isn’t taking on too many acting assignments because she wants to spend time with her family. She would rather take on advertising assignments which are lucrative as well and do not involve so much of time away from the family. From being involved in her work and not really wanting to start a family, she has come a long way and she says it was love that changed her. Ever since she met Liev, family seems to have become so important to her so maybe that was a wedding ring we saw!

A heartbroken husband has pleaded with the public for the return of his beloved late wife’s engagement ring. Peter lives in Pitsea and after his wife passed away due to cancer, he has kept her engagement ring in his wallet so that he could feel her presence with this memento. She was buried with her wedding ring on but her engagement ring stayed and travelled close to her husband.
He lost his black leather wallet a few days ago but he just can’t remember where. He feels it might have fallen off when he travelled to Basildon – he had gone there to thank the people in the hospital for looking after his wife. The ring is made of yellow gold, it has a diamond at the centre and two curved rows of sapphires on either side. It means so much to Peter so he has requested anyone who finds the wallet and the ring to return it to him so that he can feel his beloved wife close to him.

This is Tiffany’s first foray out of London in the UK. This month, Manchester became the first city outside the capital to have an outlet set up in Selfridges by the 172-year old jewellers. On the ground floor of the Selfridges at Exchange Square, you’ll find this new boutique, glittering with an array of beautiful jewellery and the classic and elegant diamond engagement rings they are famous for are very much in evidence.
The boutique is spread over a huge space and it’s a great place to buy or just browse through. It seems to have been a great idea to house it in the Selfridges environment. The items go all the way from gift items to jewellery pieces that connoisseurs will love. All of course, have that unmistakable Tiffany touch.

That’s what she has on her ring finger – a giant diamond ring that is absolutely dazzling. Knowing Penelope Cruz, she could just have gone out and bought that diamond stunner for herself. She’s said it often enough – she does not really believe too much in marriage and she has refuted rumours that a wedding is on the cards with Javier Bardem, her boyfriend – they have been together for a long time.
Well, that diamond ring that was spotted on her finger in New York last Sunday has once again meant that her fans are all agog wanting to know, is she, isn’t she? With Penelope Cruz, you never can tell. It is quite possible that she just did pick up that diamond ring just for the heck of it – and why not? Not all diamond rings need to be engagement rings. However, when it happens to be a celebrity, there will always be speculation, especially when it happens to be someone as beautiful and sexy like Penelope Cruz.

He appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show and revealed all about how he proposed to his girlfriend and how it had to be on the most romantic day there was – Valentine’s Day. What he did do though – was to not spring a surprise on her so he told her before he went out and chose an engagement ring for her. That way, he was sure that she would say Yes!
Vince Vaughn is engaged to Kyla Webber and one reason why he picked this day, as he told Ellen, was that no way would he forget his engagement anniversary. So one wonders when the wedding is going to be but he’s not telling. All he did tell Ellen was how happy he was. He has also been known to admit in other interviews that he is all set to enter the married state and what he would love is to have kids.

Considering that the Chinese market is going to soon be the biggest in the world when it comes to jewellery, it isn’t surprising that jewellery houses like Cartier are making a beeline for that country. There is a lavish exhibition on right now in Beijing and people are flocking to the Forbidden City to get a glimpse of the fabulous pieces on display. For a country that was associated with jade for so long, being enamoured of diamonds is a new trend but that is the way the new China seems to be going.
The Chinese like brands that are old and have a history – it goes well with their own ancient culture. There was a crowd on the opening night and one could see the rich and the famous from all over China there, with dazzling diamonds on their fingers, necks and wrists. The opening night party was the last word in elegance and Cartier spared no expense in arranging a really great party. The personnel from the company hope to see this extravaganza working well for them, giving them an entry into one of the world’s richest markets today. A market where engagement rings and diamond rings are among the highest selling items.

Fans can be quite a pain and exceed the boundaries of decency and politeness but some of them really go overboard. Look at what Michelle Keegan had to go through with a fan. He was so crazy over her that he kept stalking her and he even sent her rings that were worth thousands of pounds. They were an engagement ring and a wedding ring.
The actress who stars in Coronation Street was scared because he followed this up with a letter. He insisted that she wear the rings while she was filming the show so that it would send a message to the world that she belonged to him. He proposed to her in the letter and because he had given his name and address, he was traced to Leeds and the rings were returned to him. The thing is, the rings were valuable and he had obviously spent a lot of them. Luckily for her, there is usually a lot of security around.

A young lady sits with her almost-month old son in the city of Hamilton in Canada, wiping away the tears from her eyes with a hand on which is a diamond ring. She and her fiancé had the perfect life – good jobs, a new home they were going to move into and a baby to look forward to. Then fate took the man away, leaving her to have the baby alone and dreams of a life with him shattered.
Ingrid is from Colombia, South America and Jonathan is from Buffalo, America. She has travelled a bit, living in the UK after getting her microbiology degree. Then she moved to Canada and met Jonathan on a trip to the Niagara Falls. She moved from Barrie to Hamilton to be closer to him and when they found she was expecting, he proposed and she still wears that diamond ring. Then came a fire in a local delicatessen and Jonathan charged in only to lose his life. He’s been a brave fire-fighter and has twice won honours for bravery. Two fire-fighters charged into the burning shop that day because someone said they thought someone was trapped inside. No one was but both the brave firemen lost their lives.
