Diamond Engagement Rings Specialist

It was straight out of a scene from Agatha Christie and that indeed was the theme at Stephen Webster’s designer jewellery store, Garrard, one of the world’s oldest jewellery houses. It was an enactment of Murder She Wrote and there were celebrities galore attending the event. The event was to launch his new collection named – you guessed it – Murder She Wrote. It was suitably launched with blood, gore, fingerprints and clues.

His jewellery is stunning and it is different, to say the least. The last collection he launched was called The Seven Deadly Sins so you can infer what kind of jewellery he designs. And celebrities like Christina Aguilera, Madonna and Elton John just love it and lap it up. And Stephen Webster doesn’t really think he is a bad boy and that’s why his designs border on the macabre. Instead he likes to see himself as a bit of a rebel – though he is in his fifties – and he says he likes living on the edge. Of course, he also loves being in the limelight, just like many of the people who love his jewellery. Everything about him seems so much larger than life and that reflects in many of his designs, especially the rings which very often have rocks that make them stand out on any finger.

Today, Garrard has over 200 outlets all over the world and they all attract the rich and the famous. The stores are a great success and Stephen’s eye for innovative design and shock value seems to put a premium price on the jewellery. Or maybe people sometimes like a hint of a dark side in jewellery design. There’s nothing dark about the source of his materials, however. Stephen Webster travels to the source to make sure that all his gems and gold have no history of child labour or ill treatment of the miners. He says his inspiration for the designs comes from the gems themselves, from the darker side of nature as well as from music.

Rumour has it that Shaquille O’Neal of the Boston Celtics is engaged – to Nicole Alexander of the TV reality show ‘I Love Money’ fame. Seems a bit hasty considering that his divorce came through only in March. He and Shaunie Nelson were married for seven years but that ended and he also made a comeback in his career as a professional basketball player and joined the Boston Celtics recently after being out of it for nearly twenty years. He is now a part of it not as a player but as a commentator and no doubt he feels great to be back where the action is.

Shaquille or Shaq as he is popularly known stands at 7 ft 1 inch and it’s said that his size and his strength together overpowered many of his opponents in whichever team he played. He’s won a number of awards through the years and he’s done a lot more than just play basketball. He’s acted in films and reality shows and is also a rapper with four rap albums to his credit. He has also made an appearance on one of Michael Jackson’s videos and been the inspiration for a number of video game characters.

Shaquille has four children with Shaunie and a daughter before that. They say that in his mansion in Florida, he has his own theatre and his obsession with the character of Superman can be seen all over – the symbol is on his blanket, on the floor and on the screen. The mansion also has an indoor basketball court. Nicole Alexander lives with him here and it looks like they have made it official.

It’s official and Nicole’s father has confirmed that Lewis Hamilton and his daughter are engaged. The former Pussycat Doll and the Formula One star met four years ago at a music awards function and they have been together since then though the newspapers have speculated about their relationship being an on-off one. Well, it looks like they have made up their minds at last and they are engaged and the source, her father, has announced it so it’s obviously true.

Nicole has just replaced Cheryl Cole in the American X Factor television series where she will function as a judge on the popular reality show. Nicole, who is 33, took the 26 year old racing legend home to her family in Oahu, Hawaii last year for the first time and that was when her father no doubt realised that things were serious. Nicole’s father is Filipino and her mother is of Russian and Hawaiian descent. They separated when she was very young and her mother moved to America and married a man of German descent and Nicole took his name. Today, she’s come a long way as a singer and has also acted in a number of small parts both on the big screen and in TV serials.

Lewis Hamilton is also of mixed descent and though he has lived and grown up in the UK, he has now shifted base to Switzerland so he can be away from the media glare He drives for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and he’s been a part of so many Grand Prix events, having started racing at a very young age. After his parents separated, he lived with his mother but at twelve, he moved back in with his father and it was he who encouraged his racing career. Lewis was fanatic about both racing and football in school and he was determined to make one or the other his career. Now that the two are engaged, we wonder where they’ll live seeing as they both have luxury homes across the globe from each other. And one also wonders what the engagement ring looks like!

This has made flash mob history because it’s the first wedding flash mob wedding in the UK. There were seventy people who everyone thought were just tourists who suddenly congregated together at Netley Abbey at Southampton, had a quick five minute marriage ceremony and then dispersed as quickly as they had come together.

The couple, Sam and Darryl Low had already been married at the register’s office but they decided to do something unusual to remember their wedding day by and this flash mob was just the thing they hit upon. It was all there – the aisle with flowers in the pews, a violinist playing and the couples exchanging vows and their wedding rings, a song and a prayer that followed it and that was it. The crowd dispersed, leaving onlookers thoroughly confused. It took around five minutes and then the whole place looked like nothing had ever happened there.

Flash mobs began in the US and it was usually arranged over the Internet. People would just congregate suddenly at a mall or wherever, do something together and the whole crowd would disperse in a few minutes. All it took was precision and people were there on the dot, did what they had to and moved on. It had become very popular a few years ago and when it happened with a wedding, it certainly was very memorable and unique. The couple say they have been on a high since it took place.

There’s a contest on and it’s offering two big prizes of £25.000 each and all they have to do is to plan a sci-fi wedding together with the organisers. The contest is being organised by Sky Living and is only open to people living in the UK. What they are looking for is for people who won’t mind being very creative on their wedding day and go all out on this sci-fi theme.

Sky Living focuses its programmes on unusual and thought-provoking themes. This independent TV company has very popular shows like Kill it, Cook it, Eat it, There’s one born every minute and The Family. It has a number of loyal viewers who love their shows and the try to keep the interest value high in all their programmes. This contest, too, will follow the couples right through the whole preparation stage and the couples will work with the sponsors to come up with a really different and show-stopping wedding. All paid for, of course, which makes it incredible desirable.

Couples who want to be a part of this should email them and they will send an application form to fill up in order to see if you are creative enough to be one of the two couples chosen to get this huge money prize. The stranger and more far-fetched the theme, the better. So you might want your bridesmaids to be dressed in crazy space costumes, you might want a space computer robot as a ring bearer. You could choose any of the Star Trek characters though it isn’t necessary to limit yourself to these characters. In short, the more bizarre, the better.

A thief broke into their house and stole the wedding ring seven years ago and now, Sharon Osbourne is thrilled to have her wedding ring restored to her again. It was in the middle of the night and the thief took her wedding rings as well as her engagement ring from the bedside table near her. She was fast asleep but Ozzy Osbourne realised what was happening, though unwittingly.

He had got up to go to the bathroom in their luxury mansion when he saw the thief trying to hide in Sharon’s closet. So he did what any man would – he tackled him and threw him to the ground. However, there was a problem – at least in Ozzy’s mind. He had jumped the thief from the back and he was stark naked so the worrying thought in his mind was whether the thief could sue him for trying to rape him and this was why he let him go. At least that is what Sharon said in The Talk, and American chat show. There were a lot of valuable things stolen and the thief got away quickly.

Then their daughter, Kelly Osbourne happened to be watching Crime Watch and she saw that it featured her mother’s jewellery as part of a haul from a raid that took place last year. So she called her mother and the jewellery is back where it belongs – and Sharon is ecstatic. The missing rings included a Tiffany ring which was 10 carats. The haul included a lot of jewellery – they say the haul was valued at £1 million and there were also a number of stolen designer watches that were found.

Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy had a baby boy last week and they are both so incredibly happy. So is her older son, 7-year old Ryder who she had with Chris Robinson, the singer for the band Black Crowes. Kate and Matt have been together for a year now though they met a few years ago in Australia. The frontman for the band Muse and the Almost Famous actress say they have a great relationship.

Now that they have a baby, they are looking at a bigger place and they seem to have settled on a mansion in Malibu which is supposed to be all of 7000 sq. ft. And can be found in the exclusive section called the Pacific Palisades – and of course, it’s worth a few millions. She got divorced four years ago and has since been heard to say that she doesn’t really believe in marriage but it looks like Matt and the baby have made her change her mind. Right now, she is going to be in the UK till Muse finishes recording their next album after which they will go back to the USA and Los Angeles.

The engagement ring is a massive diamond ring and it is said to be worth over £12,000. News about the engagement surfaced when she admitted to it during the Today Show to Matt Lauer. She even showed off her wonderful diamond engagement ring. So it looks likes she is all set to get married now and has changed her mind about marriage. Though they haven’t set a date as yet, they are all ready to set up house as a family in L.A.

No, it does not mean she’s engaged or married or even that she has a love interest in her life post Leonardo di Caprio. However, that ring has been on her finger – and you guessed it – on the finger that’s bound to start gossip – and she’s been wearing it everywhere. Is it just a bit of bling that she‘s been fascinated with or is there more to it than that? Did she buy it herself or was it given to her? There are so many questions the moment a celebrity is seen wearing a ring and a diamond ring at that – and on the right – well, the right left finger!

The ring is called a Love Ring and it is designed by Sydney Evan. It comes in a whole range of colours and is available in black rhodium, rose gold, white or yellow gold. Bar’s is a pave diamond ring set in 14k gold. It was on her finger at the Cannes Festival as well as at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. These rings are available for under £500 so we’re wondering what statement Bar wants to make to the world. A not very expensive ring but a love ring, all the same.

There are others in Hollywood who have also succumbed to the Love Ring craze and among them are Rihanna and Halle Berry. So is it just a fad that’s here today, gone tomorrow? One never knows and celebrities have a history of trying to stay in the news with stunts like these so it could just be some fodder for the gossips mills leading to being in the news and in the public eye.

So Samantha Mumba and Torray Scales are engaged and sources say it was a very small, private affair with only close friends and family there. She was seen with her brother Omero on Clarendon Street as she left Saba, the Thai restaurant that has been growing in popularity. And she was proudly showing off her engagement ring.

The Irish actress and singer was discovered when she was 15 and since then, she has been making a name for herself singing and acting for thirteen years. Her debut single reached No. 1 in Ireland and No. 2 on the UK charts. She stopped recording a few years ago and started acting – first in Loose Women and then in Dancing on Ice. She also appeared as the lead in a jazzy production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Hot Mikado. She then began modelling and was the face of a fashion designer as well as the brand ambassador for Dior. She has also been signed on to act in Robinson Crusoe and the Caribbean Pirates as Girl Friday.

Torray Scales is from America and he is a businessman have been dating for four years now and though she has shifted base to Los Angeles, she still comes back regularly to Dublin to visit her family. The wedding is scheduled to be early next year according to sources and most likely, that too will be a small affair. Sources say it will be in L.A. where both live now. He is a policeman and though there have been rumours of domestic violence in his first marriage, Samantha has stood by him through four years.

She was so upset when her diamond eternity ring was stolen and she never thought she would see it again. The theft took place from her home in Cheam and it had been inherited by her from her mother. Her mother passed away in ’64 and that was when Theodora Toft got her diamond wedding ring so obviously it held a lot of sentimental value for her.

The ring is an eternity diamond ring with five diamonds and it is valued at around £1500. The lady was delighted when the ring was recovered from a pawn shop by the police. When the police realised that the ring was the same one that was stolen from Ms. Toft, they brought it round to her and she was so grateful that they were so kind and friendly as well as helpful.

The lady lives in this house off Sandy Lane and she has lived there since she was sixteen. She is an artist and she paints watercolours as well as does portraits. The thief was caught and that is how the police discovered that he had committed this theft in February as well. He pleaded guilty and will be sentenced. For Ms. Toft, all she can think about is how wonderful it is to have her diamond ring back.
