In most cases when engagements break, there’s always an argument about who gets to keep the engagement ring. The man feels that he spent for it and if there’s no marriage, then it is his and he should get it back. However, the woman feels that it is a gift and therefore she has the right to keep it. Since most men spend a large amount of their hard-earned money on an engagement ring, they feel that it is part of a contract and they should get it back if the contract is broken. Maybe there are arguments for both sides.

However, in David Kovacs’ case, he just says that he will let former fiancée Angelina Pivarnick’s keep her ring. He feels that the day he got engaged to the Jersey Shore reality show actress was one of the happiest days in his life and so he would like her to keep the ring. Their relationship has been on and off for so ling and there have been rumours about affairs when it came to the MTV girl. In fact, if one were to believe the gossip, she has cheated on him many times. And now, there’s the added gossip that she is pregnant and David of course, feels that if there is a child, he will be involved and he would take care of it.

Meanwhile, right through this affair, the finance investment consultant’s career has been hit badly and he feels it’s time he put it behind him and carry on with his work. When they did get engaged, there were so many rumours that the whole thing was a sham and that it was a staged proposal when he got down on one knee in public and proposed.

Jessica Marais, the Australian television star has just finished shooting for a campaign for Linneys jewellers and it is said to be stunning. Earlier, the ones who were the face of Linneys were Ernie Dingo and Melissa George and they apparently chose Jessica just a short while before she announced her engagement. They got engaged in October and of course, it is a Linneys engagement ring that she is wearing.

According to the top honcho in Linneys, she and James Stewart came into their store in Perth together to pick the engagement ring. So there was no hush-hush thing about it – it was all very open and not a secret. So did they pick the ring because she had been signed up? Well, she could hardly wear a ring from another jeweller considering she has just become the visible face of Linneys, can she? And apparently she had quite a bit of say when it came to choosing the ring. And why not, considering she is the one that is going to be wearing it.

As to the engagement ring, the spokesman for Linneys feels that it should be Jessica who should be announcing the details so he won’t say anything except that it is a classic design, very beautiful with a very special diamond. So we’re guessing that he is leaving the intricate details to her to be revealed like how much the diamond weighs, is it platinum or gold or maybe white gold and what shape and cut the diamond is.

Such a good idea actually – a website to find a lost engagement ring. When Karen from Manchester lost her engagement ring, she was so upset that she asked her brother to set up a special website in the hope of getting it back. It happened on Easter Sunday in Heaton Park where she removed her rings to put sunscreen on her little three-year old daughter. That was in the afternoon. When they got home in the evening, she suddenly realised that she had forgotten to put her rings back on again.

The engagement ring was set in platinum and it had a square princess cut diamond. Karen and Mark got engaged three years ago and she says the ring means so much to her and she’s offering £100 to anyone who finds and returns the ring. She had placed them on a low wall – the diamond engagement ring and a cheap ring she wore with it – on a low wall while she applied the sunscreen. When she got home and found they were missing, they hurried back to the park to look for the rings but they weren’t there.

Her brother lives in New York and he’s put up a website for her – lostengagementring.com. They are all hoping that someone who took the rings would see the website and return the rings to her. It isn’t easy losing something so precious especially when you know you have been careless. So many women seem to lose their rings when they remove them to apply cream or sunscreen.

You would have thought the 21 year old from South Carolina would have had more sense. Surely her chances of a relationship with the boy would be blown if he discovered that not only was she a thief but also stole his mother’s engagement ring. Of course, the girl had her story all pat and she says she didn’t steal it.

The4 mother had put it on the kitchen counter in a little dish which also held pennies. The girl says she didn’t think it was real and thought she would wear it to the party that was being held in the house and she really could not explain how the ring was found in her purse. She says she was wearing it at the party, then got drunk so she doesn’t remember. She then went home, taking the ring with her.

She probably did not realise that the diamond was all of ten carats and that the ring was worth a lot. So she went out and sold it for a lot less than what she could have got for it. She also sent out emails about the ring, obviously hoping to make a sale and when she was caught they were used in evidence against her. The strange part was, she had used the boyfriend’s family’s computer to send out the emails, attaching a photograph of the ring. She finally sold the ring for a pittance in Atlanta. Though she denied it at first, she did confess to the theft finally because there really was too much evidence against her. Unfortunately, the ring has not be recovered as yet.

She didn’t make a big to do about it – no big announcement, no press interview. It just so happened that she was on the Today Show and Matt Lauer saw the huge diamond ring on her finger and asked her about it. And Kate said that she was waiting for someone to ask her to announce her engagement. So she’s engaged at last to her baby’s father, Matt Bellamy, frontman of the Muse.

According to Kate, they got engaged last week and they didn’t announce it but just waited till people realized she was wearing an engagement ring. The ring she is wearing is an emerald cut diamond which is around five carats surrounded by baguette diamonds and set in a platinum band. Together, it all seems to add up to around nine carats. Kate was being interviewed about her latest film Something Borrowed which she has been promoting. The film is based on two women who are vying for the attention of one man. The film is set to launch this week and this talented actress, winner of so many awards is looking forward to a period of rest after this.

Kate feels that this pregnancy is different from her first. She has a son from her previous marriage to Chris Robinson called Ryder who is seven years old. This time, she feels, this baby is wild and eager to make its appearance into the world. The baby is due in July.
