Wedding Ring For Lady Gaga?

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

Is Lady Gaga all set to begin wearing a wedding ring? It appears that marriage is on the cards for the controversial singer. She seems to be on a high and said that she and her bartender boyfriend are going to get married soon either in Scotland or England. Her boyfriend is Luc Carl and it looks like the couple are deadly serious about each other.

Lady Gaga wants a wedding with a fairytale flavour and would love it if they got married in a castle, very much like in every fairytale. The couple first started going around five years ago but when Lady Gaga became famous, the relationship went through a strained phase and the two split. However, they are back together again and very much in love.

Lady Gaga is on a European tour and the two feel that when the tour is over, it should be December and just right for a wedding. Knowing her, one can expect something rather outrageous for a wedding dress and for the ceremony itself. Lady Gaga loves to shock but who knows? She might just be ready to come down to earth again and turn respectable.

On-Screen Engagement Ring Designs

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

Think about it – you have a ring you’ve inherited and you want it reset. With the advanced technology available today, all you need to do is to use a design programme and get the ring set with a new look. That’s what Adam MacKellar did when he wanted to propose to his girlfriend. He had her grandmother’s wedding ring and he used the CAD/CAM programme to design not just her engagement ring but also her wedding ring with the diamonds there.

A jewellery store in Glasgow offers this service and it really is ideal because it means that the sentimental value of the diamonds are preserved and the setting is modern so it’s like you have a new ring. In this case, Abigail’s grandmother is old and in a home but the memories now live on because the ring has got a new life in a new avatar. Adam surprised her with the engagement ring and she was really thrilled to wear the diamonds that belonged to her grandmother.

Of course, there’s the added advantage of the price of the rings being much less than if Adam had bought them. The jewellery store has just got this design software and all the customer has to do is to go in there with their requirements and details of what they already have to design a new piece of jewellery in 3-D. It’s a great way of recycling jewellery and of not having to spend too much ion new engagement rings.

An Engagement Ring Is Not Just An Engagement Ring

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

There’s been a recent survey in the UK that points towards the fact that more and more women are very concerned about the kind of engagement ring they get and not just any engagement ring will do. The stats say that women are getting a lot more savvy about their engagement rings as expectations rise. What they seem to want is not just a valuable engagement ring but one that rivals everyone else’s they know.

What the engagement ring has become, so say the results of the survey, is so much more that a symbol of love and the precursor to marriage. Today, an engagement ring is a reflection of a person’s status and how much he can afford. So, it a way, it reflects the social status of the woman herself and the more expensive the engagement ring, the greater her self-worth.

Around 15% said they hadn’t been happy with their fiancé’s choice of ring and a whopping 64% said they would ask him to change it if they didn’t like it. And 41% were very practical about it and said they would much prefer to do the choosing themselves. It looks like there is a lot of peer pressure when it comes to engagement rings and considering you are going to be wearing it hopefully, for a while, maybe the time has come to get practical about it too.

Diamond Dash For A Tacori Diamond Ring

Monday, October 4th, 2010

In Michigan in the US, a Diamond Dash contest saw many couples participating in a treasure hunt where the prize was a Tacori ring that was valued at over ÂŁ7000. Coming from a company that has made its brand a leading bridal and engagement ring one, this was of course, a very big affair.

The treasure hunt was very high tech and involved the use of cell phones and a game board that was interactive. They were given the first clue and had to go find the location where they had to accomplish a challenge and they were SMSed the next clue and so it went on till they reached the final destination. It took two hours for the treasure hunt to be completed after which they all had a reception at a local golf club.

The winners of the Diamond Dash contest were a young couple – she is an English junior and he is a mathematics senior and they decided to participate on the spur of the moment and won. She is keeping the diamond ring and what was great was that a lot of the proceeds are going to a children’s hospital in the area. Every participant also received a gift voucher that could be redeemed when buying an engagement ring.

Phil Collins Doesn’t Want Another Wedding Ring

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

The musician is quite clear that he is in no hurry to get married – in fact to ever get married again. He will be turning 60 in a few months and though he is in a relationship with Dana Tyler, an American newsreader, his previous marriages seem to have made him wary of walking down that aisle again. He met Dana when she interviewed him and now they are a couple.

To think that a man who has penned the most incredible love songs can feel this way is a bit surprising but that’s how it is. Some of his songs really do bring a tear to the eye but in real life, he feels he is grumpy and not really cut out for marriage. This, in spite of the fact that all three ex-wives seem to be on amicable terms with him and they even go out together.

The first one was Andrea, who was with him in drama school, the second was Jill, who was with him for twelve years and the third was Orianne who was a good twenty two years younger than him. The good thing is, he makes so much that he doesn’t have to worry about the money so he can keep getting married, again and again.

Fundraiser Volunteer Finds Lost Engagement Ring

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010

She went to help out at a fundraiser and came back to find her ring gone. Meagan didn’t think much of it because there had been occasions when she had removed her engagement ring and her wedding ring and put them on the bathroom shelf. It was only when she got back home and realised that they weren’t there that she panicked.

She went back and they looked through everything that was left at the fundraising venue but they didn’t see the rings. Then she decided to advertise the loss. There was no way they could afford to buy another diamond ring so she made do with a gumball machine ring. She just didn’t think she would find it again and that made her sad to think the one precious thing she had was lost forever. Five years had passed since her husband had slipped it into her champagne glass and asked her to marry him.

Then someone called Marjorie saw something shining while she walked across the common and she picked it up, thinking it was a child’s play ring. When she looked closely at it, she realised that it could be real. So she went back home and looked through all the lost ring advertisements and she came across Meagan’s ad. She called and Meagan was overjoyed to have her engagement ring back. What struck her was the fact that someone could find a ring that costs a bit and look to return it. For Marjorie, a grandmother, all that mattered was that the person who lost it should be reunited with it.
