Wedding Ring For Recluse Robbie Williams

Monday, August 9th, 2010

He’s finally married. After years of battling with problems, Robbie Williams seems to have found his oasis of calm or, as he calls her, his Swiss Knife. Ayda Field and Robbie were married on Saturday in the grounds of his million dollar home in Los Angeles. The ceremony was very private with only close friends and family and till the last minute almost, even the guests did not know exactly where the wedding ceremony was going to be held.

To ensure that he wasn’t tempted to drink, there was no liquor served during the reception. The guests had been invited saying that it was an occasion to celebrate Robbie’s 20th year in show biz but they soon realised that it was a lot more than that.

Robbie Williams has been truly happy ever since he met Ayda and she seems to be the one leading him back into the road to living again. She prefers staying at home to partying too so the two could just be a couple made for each other. She’s made Robbie laugh again and that is no mean achievement considering what he’s been through.

Diamond Ring And Valuables Stolen In Farnham

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

It’s sad to see a spate of thefts in the Surrey area and there seem to be far too many burglaries with things of value being stolen. One of the homes in Farnham saw the theft of a valuable diamond ring, an expensive watch, a video camera and photographic equipment.

The thieves seem to have got in through an open window and they obviously made their way there through the roof. The police believe that a blue Vauxhall Vectra which was seen in the scene of other crimes similar to this could be the vehicle used by the thieves. In some cases, they seem to have used metal bars to open doors and windows and gain access into the homes.

The estimated value of the things stolen is £12,000 and police have warned people to leave their doors and windows securely locked when they are away from home. They would need to double check and it would be wise to not leave their valuables unlocked in an empty house. They would be better off in a safe that is secure and people should also take care to ensure that no newspapers, mail or parcels accumulate on the doorstep. Enlisting a neighbour’s help to remove it everyday would be a wise idea.

Is Neil Lane Becoming Hollywood’s Favourite Diamond Ring Designer?

Friday, August 6th, 2010

It looks like everyone wants a Neil Lane diamond ring and now the big day of ABC’s TV reality show The Bachelorette saw Roberto Martinez slip a Neil Lane diamond ring onto Ali Fedotowsky’s finger. Not just any ring but a dazzling Neil Lane platinum and diamond ring which is hand crafted.

This is a show where the chosen woman met and interacted with twenty five handsome bachelors and she had to choose one of them to be her groom. The show went through how she discovers each one of them and how she travelled to meet their families and friends as well as taking them home to meet her family as well. So Roberto ended up as Mr. Right with the right to give her the beautiful engagement ring.

Neil Lane is a favourite with so many stars in Hollywood and he seems to have earned the title The King of Bling very justifiably. Stars like Elizabeth Taylor, J-Lo, Angelina Jolie and many others naturally gravitate towards his fabulous designs to wear on their best nights out on the red carpet.

No, Michael Clarke’s Ex Did Not Flush Down Engagement Ring

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

We have it right from the horse’s mouth. Australian cricketer Michael Clarke’s ex-fiancée did not flush her engagement ring as was reported. There had been a huge media splash about how Lara Bingle had flushed her very expensive diamond engagement ring down the toilet bowl when they had broken up. She had apparently done this when the couple were sharing an apartment in Bondi. However, the cricketer says it’s not true.

According to Michael Clarke, the expensive diamond ring is in a very safe place and this was all just a crazy rumour. Now one wonders why he didn’t deny the rumours right then when it happened. However, he has now told the Daily Telegraph that he could guarantee that it didn’t go down the toilet. He’s dismissed the whole thing as a brilliant rumour.

The couple had been together for three years and they split in March. Lara is a model and the relationship has been a turbulent one, with a lot of fodder for the press. Finally, they broke it off over the telephone and Michael Clarke was said to be devastated. He had hoped they could find closure in a dignified way but Lara did a tell-all interview after which there really was no going back.

Man Pays For Thinking Diamond Ring A Fake

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

It happened in China – it actually did. A lady named Wang lost her diamond wedding ring at a parking lot. This happened in the Fengtai district in China. Zhang found the ring but threw it away thinking that it must be a fake ring. Little did he know just how much that simple action was going to cost him.

The owner of the ring obviously looked for the ring and couldn’t find it and when she heard that Zhang had found her ring and had thrown it away, she went to court. According to the Beijing News, just that careless and unknowing action cost Zhang 46,000 yuan and he had to pay up to keep the diamond wedding ring owner happy.

The thing is, he did it out of ignorance. So many real diamonds look like imitations and if you are not well read up on gems, it is easy enough to make a mistake. So if he thought that it was a fake, why should he have kept it? Wasn’t it rather unjust that he had to pay just because his knowledge of diamonds and jewellery was lacking?

Will This Be Elizabeth Taylor’s Ninth Wedding Ring?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

It looks like the famous Liz Taylor is at it again, doing what she does best – hogging the headlines with news of yet another wedding in the offing. This is going to be the ninth time for her if she does get married. While official spokespeople deny that anything is in the offing, reliable sources say that she is getting married and that preparations are on. It looks like the event is going to be at the end of the year.

The lucky man, if you can call him that, is Jason Winters who is not yet fifty while she will soon be eighty. However, he’s been managing her affairs for a while now and it looks like they are very close. In fact, they seem to have kept quiet about how close they are even though they have been seen together on the red carpet of many events together.

The exciting news is what is being done behind the scenes in preparation for the wedding. Sources say that a bejewelled turban is being made for the wedding and it is going to be studded with diamonds. Jeweller Christian Tse and designer Keith Holman are supposed to be working to get it ready. No one knows the location yet but everyone’s talking and waiting excitedly to see how it all unfolds.

50 Year Old Sentimental Gold Ring Lost

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

A pensioner in Darlington is distraught because she lost her gold ring with black haematite somewhere between her home in Darlington and Newcastle. She and her family are looking for it everywhere and they are appealing to anyone who might have seen it to return it to them.

The ring is made from nine carat gold and in the centre is a black haematite stone which is cut like a diamond. Her husband bought it for her 52 years ago from a jewellery store in Keswick and she fondly remembers how her husband wanted it to be a surprise so she kneeled down at the counter and put up her hand to have the ring measured on her finger.

She and her daughter and family were on a trip to Newcastle and they even tried on clothes at a store so she doesn’t know when exactly the ring fell and got lost. She usually wore the ring on her little finger on the right hand but on that day, she changed the ring to her left hand. So she feels it could have slipped off anywhere but she’s hoping some good soul will find it and let her know.

Hulk Hogan’s Ex-Wife Gets Engagement Ring

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

It looks like the actor Hulk Hogan’s wife could be wearing an engagement ring – at least that’s what seems to be the news from sources in Hollywood. What’s making news is the fact that Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife, Linda is fifty and the man she’s supposedly engaged to is twenty one.

The news is not just about the engagement because rumours are afloat that the couple will be getting married soon and the ceremony will be held on board a yacht which belongs to Linda. Ironically, the name of the yacht is Alimony, referring no doubt to the large sum of money she gets on a monthly basis from her famous ex-husband.

The marriage between the Hogans lasted all of 24 years and they have two children, one of who is older than her toyboy and the other a year younger. Obviously her daughter, who is a year older than her to-be stepfather is not at all amused and the aspiring singer has been heard to call the new man in her mother’s life a loser, someone without any character.
