Did Her Money Pay For Her Engagement Ring?

Thursday, March 31st, 2011

We all know that Jamie Hince isn’t exactly rolling in money and that Kate Moss is but it does not seem to affect the couple, which is such a good thing. Jamie knew that when he asked Kate to marry him, no way would he be able to buy her the ring she would have wanted and deserved. So he did the next best thing – he used the money that she had given him for a recording studio to buy her a diamond engagement ring. Not only that, he seemed to know exactly what she would like so he designed it in the style of Zelda Fitzgerald’s ring. He obviously knew she would be delighted with a ring like her heroine’s.

So Kate actually paid for her own engagement ring even though she didn’t know it. However, it was a sweet gesture on James’s part considering that he didn’t have the money but still wanted her to have a ring befitting her. And Kate has so much money, she probably won’t even notice the difference but will feel great that he loves her enough to get her the best. They were seen recently enjoying an Indian meal together at Soho after being at Garrard’s Jewellers for an event.

Yes, sources have said that their affair has been an on and off one but now it looks like they are both ready to settle down. Kate calls herself his Sugar Mummy and is quite all right about doling out the money for him to do what he wants with it. For her, the fact that she loves him and he loves her is all that matters ands maybe that is the best basis for them to start off their life together. And knowing Kate’s generosity, we’re sure he’ll get his recording studio as well.

Lauren Goodger Flashes Diamond Engagement Ring

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

She was seen at an event recently with her co-stars from Only Way Is Essex and on her finger flashed the huge diamond engagement ring. What she also did was to make sure that the huge diamond ring got the most attention when the cameras flashed, even edging her fiancé Mark out of way. The event was the launch of a DVD. The couple is engaged in the reality series but sources tell us that they will also be breaking up and those scenes have been filmed too.

Of course, the stars have all been sworn to secrecy and you can’t really get much out of any of them regarding the remaining episodes of the show. But the rumour is that the break up will be dramatic. Mark’s friends say that he is really too young to get into such a serious relationship so soon. They feel that this whole engagement thing is just for the cameras and the show. They base it on the fact that the couple, while being very together while they are shooting, don’t really seem very affectionate towards each other when they are off camera.

The diamond ring that Mark proposed to her on the show is not what Lauren is wearing. She exchanged it for a slightly smaller one which she liked. Of course, sources say that she likes him but for him, it’s all about the show. There are more rumours about the show too saying that Peter Andre might be making an appearance on the show.

Reese Witherspoon And A New Wedding Ring

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

She is such a popular actress and most fans were devastated to hear that her marriage which everyone thought was very happy has come to an end. Then when Jim Toth and she got serious, the media went all out to find out if indeed he could be the next one in her life. He is, and in true Reese style, the wedding was an intimate affair with just close friends and family. At least, the number is relative because Hollywood weddings are usually such big affairs.

The wedding ceremony was held at the Ojai California mansion and the celebration that followed was also held there. Reese Witherspoon’s parents and children were there at the rehearsal and because the place is a bit out of town, there were not too many media people to be seen. The place is the last word in luxury and it is believed that all the guests were treated to a really lavish stay there during the wedding. The wedding was held in a very Southern style with a lot of warm hospitality.

Daring Tiffany Diamond Ring Heist

Monday, March 28th, 2011

There have been so many daring thefts of jewellery all over the world but the one that took place at the Tiffany’s store in Paris recently took the cake. It was done with a minimum amount of fuss, the shop people still can’t believe it happened. There are times when a theft comes along with knives, guns and violence. Not so here because it was done very deftly and the salesmen and women were left realising that they had been cleverly duped.

Just how was it done? Three men had walked into a store to look at jewellery and they were intent on a platinum ring with a three carat diamond. The diamond ring was worth £220,000 and it is still amazing how they managed to walk out of that store without any fuss. What they did was to pretend that they had chosen the ring, then ask for the certificate of authenticity. While the sales person went to get the certificate copied, the three men walked out of the shop casually and were not even stopped by the security personnel at the door.

One of the men had showed the sales person his passport before he went off to get a photocopy. This Tiffany counter was at the Paris department store called Printemps and a more daring robbery in Paris in the springtime is yet to be seen. While the store personnel are pretty quiet about the incident and seem to be keeping their mouths shut to the media, sources say that the authorities are looking at the video surveillance tapes for any kind of clues they can gather.

Emily Still Has Engagement Ring On

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

Emily Maynard was seen out alone but not ringless. She was seen with her engagement ring still on her finger. There are some reports of course that say that she has taken off her diamond ring but from all accounts of visible spotting, she was seen recently in her hometown of North Carolina wearing the famous diamond ring.

Emily was the woman that Brad Womack picked in the last season of The Bachelor. The show has had 15 seasons of one man choosing from a bevy of beautiful girls and like many reality shows, it is amongst the most watched show, not just in America but around the world. However, the success rate of the show does not really reflect on the success rate of the marriages. In all of the 15 seasons, there has just been one marriage – that’s right, one. All the others broke up way before they could walk down the aisle.

So what about Emily and Brad? There are rumours that after he picked her at the show’s finale, they have broken up a number of times and now, they are smiling the smile of togetherness, maybe only for the show and the press. Emily was engaged to NASCAR driver, Ricky Hendrik who died and she has a little daughter. Brad is an entrepreneur and he made Bachelor history by turning down all the contestants in the last season so he is the only bachelor to return for a second season. Of course, all the gossips say if he gets rejected by Emily, he will return for a third season but he tweets that he is very happy with what he’s got and he’s not coming back a third time. We wonder what it is about these shows that are so obviously faked that grab eyeballs by the millions.

Engagement Rings, Towels And Tears

Friday, March 25th, 2011

When a woman wraps not just her engagement ring but her mother’s and her grandmother’s in towels, forgets about them and then realises that the towels have been given away to a charity store, what else will she be but devastated? Not just the engagement rings, there were five more rings as well as the war medals that her late husband had won in Vietnam.

Here’s what happened. The woman had hidden the rings in the towels when they had gone in holiday so they wouldn’t get stolen. Then she forgot all about them. When they were moving house, her son asked whether he could get rid of the old towels and without realising what they held, she agreed. So off they went to the charity store and then to be recycled. Then she suddenly realised what she had done and went to the charity store to retrieve them but they had already gone. To be fair, the company has halted the shipping of the recycled rags and they will be looking through it to see if the rings are there.

It’s a slim chance but the woman wants to do everything she can before giving up. One of those rings – her grandmother’s – is ninety years old and the war medals are heirlooms too. She has offered a reward for the return of her possessions. All the three engagement rings were made of gold with diamonds. Whether she will get them all back or not remains to be seen but she is hoping that the person who finds it would rather claim the reward than take her precious heirlooms to a pawnshop.

Diamond Ring Queen No More

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Elizabeth Taylor might have acted in a number of movies and been the darling of so many fans around the world but she is also known for the incredible bling she owned, especially her collection of diamonds. For her, bigger was better and she had the men in her life willing to give her diamonds that were humungous.

Perhaps the most famous diamond in her collection was the Krupp Diamond and it was given to her by Richard Burton. This diamond ring has the 33 carat famous diamond and it was Burton’s very first gift to her during their marriage. It is said that she wore the diamond ring always, even on a shoot. Richard Burton also gave her the famous Taylor- Burton diamond which is all of 69 carats and was bought and carved by Harry Winston into a pear shaped pendant. She sold this after their divorce and set up a hospital in Botswana with the proceeds. When Elizabeth Taylor turned 40, Burton gave her a heart-shaped yellow diamond called the Taj Mahal diamond and it had the words ‘Love is Everlasting’ inscribed at the back.

She also got a diamond ring from Mike Todd which she also wore often. This ring had a 29 carat diamond in it. He gave her an antique diamond tiara too, which she loved to wear. Elizabeth Taylor also bought a lot of jewellery, most famously, the Duchess of Windsor’s brooch after her death. Wallis Simpson and she were friends and she bought this diamond brooch in a plume shape at the auction.

Jordan With New Man And Old Wedding Ring

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

From all accounts, the marriage between Alex Reid and Jordan is over. They’ve been having spats for so long now and it looked like neither could say worse things about each other. However, that seems to be soon set to becoming history as they are now on a course for an amicable divorce. The papers were lodged recently according to sources and the divorce should come through quickly.

They are getting what is known as a ‘no fault divorce’ which means that they feel neither one is to blame so there will be a dignified parting of ways without the usual mud-slinging. It also means that when both agree that they want it by mutual consent, the process will be much quicker and both can go their separate ways sooner. Apparently Jordan wants to put the past behind her and move on. Someone quoted them as saying they want to end this marriage in a very mature way and not let it drag on by pointing fingers or squabbling. That doesn’t quite sound like either of them but maybe they do want to end this well.

However, there was one little thing that caught everyone’s attention and that was that Jordan was seen around town with a new man but on her finger, she still wore her wedding ring. Maybe she forgot to take it off? Maybe she’s so used to wearing it, she didn’t realise it was there? Maybe she wanted to make a point that she was going to wear the wedding ring till the divorce was official? Whatever the reason, she was seen out enjoying herself with Leandro, the new guy in her life.

A Diamond Ring Hole In One

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

It’s not often you lose your diamond ring on a golf course and find it again but this woman golfer did and she’s so thrilled. She was playing golf in Florida, USA and the ring must have slipped off her finger somewhere along the course and even though they spent days looking for it, they just could not find the ring.

The ring was a platinum and diamond ring and the diamond was all of two carats. When the lady lost it, she was so distraught, she just could not bring herself to tell her husband. The couple were from Chicago but they were on holiday. They looked all over their hotel room and in the car but there was no sign of it. For the husband, the two day delay was something he could not understand.

Then another golfer couple who were playing on the course saw something and when they bent to pick it up, it was a ring. At first, they thought it was a fake because it was so big but when they looked closer, they realised that they were wrong and it was actually a platinum and diamond ring. So they asked the people at the course and they found out just who had lost the ring. For the couple who found their ring, it was such a joyous moment. Like the husband said, it is only one in a million that returns a lost ring like this and he was so surprised to see that it happened.

Platinum Ring Lost And Found In Wolverhampton

Monday, March 21st, 2011

There’s one happy man in Wolverhampton and that’s because the platinum ring he thought he had lost has been found. He and his wife are in their late twenties and have been married for little over a year so when he dropped his £300 wedding ring, he thought he would never find it. Down the drain it went and the young man thought that was the last he had seen of it. He says that the ring falling off his finger was almost like it was in slow motion and there was nothing he could do.

However, a council worker thought otherwise and helped him look for the ring and find it. Fortunately, most drains have a screen that prevents anything else other than water to go through so he realised that the ring must be stuck in one of those screens and he went looking for it. He did find it and gave it to them and he says that the two of them were so thrilled and happy. That’s what makes his work as a gully cleaner really worthy it, he feels. In the past, he’s helped others who have lost stuff find them too and that includes purses, keys and sunglasses.

The couple is so grateful to him. As they said, they have been married such a short time and they really could not afford losing that ring. What’s more, the sentimental appeal of a wedding ring is so huge t any married couple. For the council worker, the look on their faces when he handed them the ring was so incredible, he was so glad he could help.
