Diamond Engagement Rings Specialist

The Heritage Auction which sold Elvis memorabilia last month realised quite a bit from the King’s possessions. Had he been alive, he would have been 75 today and there were many who wanted to own a part of him which is why this auction at Memphis drew a large crowd.

His stunning gold and diamond cameo ring sold for a huge sum and so did a lot of other pieces that were auctioned. However, his famous white piano didn’t sell because it did not get the asking price. They say it might be sold privately later. With Elvis dying so young it was obvious that the great performer he was, he would be remembered for years by his loyal fans.

What made news was the jar of dyed black hair of his that had been collected by his barber and was auctioned along with his other stuff. He was so famous for his black quaff and the hair no doubt was a great bit to remember him by for the person who bid for it and bought it.

The gems that shone and sparkled were mostly diamonds and the metal that had pride of place was platinum. It looks like the bold and the beautiful, the shining stars of the silver screen are increasingly being drawn to these two jewellery items when it comes to flaunting their attire and jewellery on the red carpet. This was the 62nd Emmy Awards function and it was well attended by many of the luminaries of the acting world.

Platinum was the favourite of many of the great celebrities and stars, even the ones from yesteryear. From Marilyn Monroe to Elizabeth Taylor to Grace Kelly, platinum and diamonds seem to have been a favourite especially when it came to red carpet time.

Some of the jewellery on display at this year’s Emmy Awards was Emily Blunt’s diamond and platinum bangle, Kelly’s Osborne’s white and black diamonds in platinum bracelets, Kim Kardashian’s platinum cuffs liberally studded with diamonds that were white and champagne coloured and Kyra Sedgwick’s platinum and diamonds earrings, ring and bracelets.

Out on a date with Peter Crouch, Abbey Clancy, the lingerie model was seen wearing her diamond engagement ring. Does this mean that all is right between them? They were seen out together for the first time since the news about Peter Crouch hit the public gaze. However, they were seen to be enjoying each other’s company and were at L’Atelier, the posh Soho restaurant.

The diamond dazzler was off her finger for quite a while soon after Peter Crouch was reported to have paid a teenage hooker. She wasn’t seen around with him either and sources said she was devastated. They seem to have gotten over it now though and it looks like they have patched up things and cleared misunderstandings between them.

The restaurant is a double Michelin-starred one and is known for its caviar, foie gras and quail. It is one of London’s hot spots and famous for its romantic dinners. If that’s the case, it augurs well for the couple.

When Marie Nordmann got to 40 and felt that she wasn’t going to get married, she decided that she didn’t need anyone to give her a wedding ring – she could do so herself. The Internet technology specialist began wearing one and then, recently, which is five years later, she decided that she would like a really great diamond ring to wear on her right hand and so the search began because she didn’t want just any old ring.

It’s taken her two years to design the exact ring that she wanted. The diamond, she says, came from a friend who was selling it when she got a divorce. She got the diamond set in gold with bezels of platinum. The large diamond is ¾ carat while the two smaller diamonds she used are ½ a carat. There was a lot of thought that went into this ring which she wanted to make very special.

Marie works as a liaison resource between developers of software and other businesses and helps them fine tune programmes. She also writes a blog and is active on Facebook. This diamond ring that she has designed for herself has become her favourite jewellery piece.

Girlfriend or fiancée, that is the question. Kiefer Sutherland and his girlfriend Siobhan are holidaying in Italy and it looks like she’s wearing a diamond ring on her ring finger. They were spotted having dinner out and the diamond ring flashed on her finger for the world to see.

If he is going to get married, this will be Kiefer Sutherland’s third marriage. He was also once engaged to Julia Roberts who walked out on him a few days before the wedding. We hope the 43 year old actor will find happiness this time around.

Siobhan works with Allure magazine and she is their style director. She’s been with Kiefer Sutherland for two years now and they were seen window shopping at a jeweller’s. Were they looking for wedding rings, perhaps? He’s taking a break after completing the TV series 24 and is now shooting for the film Melancholia opposite Kirsten Dunst.

The star of HBO’s show, True Blood was seen with a wedding ring on and it was a very expensive diamond ring from all accounts. She got married recently to her co-star in the show, Stephen Moyer. Stephen plays the character of a vampire in the show. According to her friends, the wedding was beautiful and they both made a lovely couple.

True Blood has just two episodes to come to the end of Season Three and the story is getting really exciting. Anna’s character is called Sookie and it looks like she is going to be become a panther in the series. Now that’s quite a bit to deal with for the other characters.

Anna was seen casually dressed and shopping with her mother and friend and co-star in Santa Monica, California and the wonderful wedding ring was very much in evidence. Everyone is happy for the couple who they say is very much in love with each other. Right now, she seems to be spending quality time with her friend and her mother.

Can it really be possible? After all, they do say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, not money in the bank. But Australian women seem to want a financially secure future before they begin to think about engagement rings and diamond jewellery. And here we were thinking that women will do anything to get a diamond ring – the bigger the diamond, the better!

It is not as though Australian women don’t like diamond rings or expensive jewellery. It’s just that they seem to have their priorities right. They would rather get a wonderful diamond ring from someone they know they can trust to look after them well financially than from someone whose finances aren’t so strong.

This trait seemed to be evident thanks to a poll where over 70% of women said that a finally secure man was what they wanted first before they could begin to think of accepting a diamond engagement ring from him. They also said that they wouldn’t mind a ring that wasn’t very expensive, preferring to use the rest towards a house or a honeymoon. So men who can’t afford that bank balance are going to find it tough to find someone on whose finger they can put a diamond engagement ring.

It looks like Kate Moss and her fiancé Jamie Hince have got married – well, it must have been a very secret affair considering no one’s got a whiff of it yet, except for the fact that both of them seem to be wearing wedding bands – and matching ones, too. Not just that, they were seen to be wearing matching tattoos as well on their wrists and they were tattoos of anchors.

Both Kate and Jamie were wearing silver rings and she was wearing it over her engagement ring – a beautiful diamond ring. The couple has been holidaying in Italy for two weeks. Sources say that they have bought a place on Stromboli Island in Italy because they just love the volcanic island.

The couple has been together for three years now and it has been noticed that Jamie has a good and stabilizing effect on Kate. They were introduced to each other by Sadie Frost and they have been together since then even though rumours of rows abound. Kate’s daughter by an earlier relationship and Jamie are also said to get on very well together. They got engaged on her birthday when Jamie flew to the Caribbean to propose to her.

Matt Katz of Australia didn’t just want any diamond engagement ring. He wanted to put a lot of himself into this token of love so he decided to make his own engagement ring for his girlfriend. It was a painstaking process and not many men can do it – but he had set his heart on doing just that so he learned all about it and went through the different processes to come up with a stunning solitaire diamond ring.

First, he had to bend the band of gold – you need to choose the right tools for this and you need to decide what metal you need – eco-friendly recycled metal is always a great choice. Then you need to decide what stone to use – a diamond is always best, but even here, the choice is huge when it comes to shape, cut and weight. The setting for the diamond is vital and needs to be strong so the diamond won’t easily slip out of it. The setting and the ring have to be soldered well together so it seems seamless. Then, it’s time to set the stone. Once that is done, you need to polish the engagement ring so it looks its dazzling best.

Well, most men as we said, prefer to take the easy way and go look at a reputed diamond store to choose the engagement ring. The choice is huge, the finish perfect and you know you can go back to them if there is a problem. However, full marks to the DIY man for wanting this to be a personal gift from the heart.

There’s a gold engagement ring that has been found in Langley in British Columbia, Canada but thus far, no one has come forward to claim the ring. The engagement ring has a solitaire diamond in a round cut set in the centre and the setting is yellow gold. The ring is obviously very new as the price tag is still attached to it. So did some man buy it, hoping to ask the girl of his dreams to marry him and then dropped it somewhere?

Where was it found? It was found in a petrol station at Mohawk when a man stopped to fill air in his tyres. Suddenly, he noticed something on the ground, shining and when he picked it up, he saw it was a yellow gold diamond ring with, as we said, the price tag still attached.

So many engagement rings are lost all over the world and yet, there are some good souls who find them and look for their owners because they know just how sentimental in value an engagement ring can be. This, in spite of the fact that in most cases, the diamond alone will fetch a pretty penny.

There he was, all set to propose when nature disposed of his plans. He had the over £5500 diamond engagement ring in his hand and he was feeling so romantic and pleased with himself considering he had set this up to be different and special. He had planned to slip the ring onto his girlfriend’s finger on the jetty in South Yarmouth in the US. He attached the ring to a sand dollar and when the girlfriend hopefully found it, she would see the ring too and he could propose.

Trust women to change the best laid plans. She did find the sand dollar but she was so excited seeing the ring that she dropped the sand dollar and the ring into the water. So even though they tried searching, the surf claimed the engagement ring as well as his carefully laid plan.

They were lucky that the ring was insured but we wonder how many more men have planned things so well and lost their rings. It might be so much better if they just hid a note saying ‘Will you marry me?’ in such places and take out the ring from their pockets when the girl said ‘Yes’.
