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.

A widow in Derbyshire is devastated that after the death of her husband, a jewellery store in Birmingham cheated her. She gave them his wedding ring and signet rings as well as some other old jewellery to have lockets made for their two daughters and thought nothing of it when they were given the lockets. These lockets were meant to be Christmas presents for the girls so they could each have a piece of something their father owned.

Her husband passed away two years ago and she thought it would be a great idea to do this for her daughters and she trusted the jewellers so she asked them to melt down the gold and make it into lockets. All was well till months later when one of the girls spotted an identical locket in another shop and realised that the jewellery store had cheated them and just replaced the gold with standard and not hand-made lockets like they were asked to do.

The city council is investigating and one hopes that they can trace the original gold so the widow and her girls can have the satisfaction of wearing a part of their father’s ring. To date, the store hasn’t commented.

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.

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.

With the divorce rate rising in the UK and with the recession, there seem to be more and more people wanting to hawk their engagement rings as well as their wedding rings. Why not make a bit of money with something that you are never going to be wearing again, seems to be the attitude. When the website Postgoldforcash came into being last year, little did they think that they would be buying so many rings but they estimate that they have bought 10,000 wedding and engagement rings to date.
Their first advertisement was aired on British television last year and it featured Ann Diamond and ever since then, it has been a hit with so many people who wanted to sell their rings. This year has seen a rise in the number of divorces and speculation is that with hard times comes splits and if this is the case, then the money from the sale of the rings should be welcome.

The reason this site seems to be so popular is also because they offer more than most others for the rings, You can sell your diamond rings, your platinum, white gold or yellow gold rings or rings with any other stones and you can expect to get a reasonable resale price for it.

A pensioner in Darlington is distraught because she lost her gold ring with black haematite somewhere between her home in Darlington and Newcastle. She and her family are looking for it everywhere and they are appealing to anyone who might have seen it to return it to them.

The ring is made from nine carat gold and in the centre is a black haematite stone which is cut like a diamond. Her husband bought it for her 52 years ago from a jewellery store in Keswick and she fondly remembers how her husband wanted it to be a surprise so she kneeled down at the counter and put up her hand to have the ring measured on her finger.

She and her daughter and family were on a trip to Newcastle and they even tried on clothes at a store so she doesn’t know when exactly the ring fell and got lost. She usually wore the ring on her little finger on the right hand but on that day, she changed the ring to her left hand. So she feels it could have slipped off anywhere but she’s hoping some good soul will find it and let her know.

There’s a Microsoft game developer who is very happy with his new bride and this is because though she isn’t one, she loves the fact that he is a geek. The wedding ring was custom-made in gold and it was fashioned to look just like a USB drive, However, it is not a functional one – though no doubt there will be ones that work very soon too. Imagine geeks all over being married with an actual, working USB drive so they can carry everything they want around with them all the time – as long as they stay married at least.

This wedding ring was inscribed with the classic USB promise – For a lifetime of memories. That line refers to the huge storage that a USB can have and it seems so perfect as a wish for a marriage too. Apparently the groom, Ray Arifianto is absolutely over the moon with his geeky ring and considering just how geeky his job is, this is such a relevant ring.

This wedding ring is just one in a list of geeky items around modern day weddings around the world. There have been geeky wedding invitations, geeky wedding cakes, geeky engagement and wedding rings and not to forget geeky wedding proposals. Is the traditional wedding undergoing change in order to keep up with the times? Maybe it is, if we look at a bridegroom who changed his Facebook status while he was at the altar, soon after the wedding. Cybertech seems to be making headway into traditional institutions as well.

Near Ithaca, America, a man was doing some renovation work in his basement when he found this wedding ring. It was behind some shelves in the bathroom and he was pulling them out to redo the place when there he saw it, gleaming. He was busy working so he put it on the top of the fridge and it stayed there a couple of days till he remembered it and took a look at it. It was then he realised that it was a gold wedding ring and not a cheap trinket as he had thought.

He looked closely at the ring and he found that it had an inscription on it which read ‘Andy loves Laurie’. There was also a date in 1992 below the words. So he wondered how he could find the owner and even posted it up on Facebook hoping someone would remember who had lived there and come forward. Thus far, no one has come to claim the ring but the present owner of the house hopes that they will.

The only little doubt in his mind is the fact that it was way behind the shelves so he wonders if perhaps the ring could have been angrily thrown. Then, will the person who lost it want it back at all? Meanwhile with the help of friends and ads, he continues to post news about the ring having been found.

Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock from South Africa are engaged and everything about it spells royal pomp and fairytale splendour. Now she’s beautiful and everything a fairytale princess should be – well groomed, exquisite and dignified. And he of course, is royal.

The diamond engagement ring is one that is befitting to the situation and it has a huge centre stone, at least three carats surrounded by round diamonds. The centre stone is pear-shaped and the diamonds are set in gold that is greyish in colour. The ring is both beautiful and regal. It dazzled the sights of anyone who saw it. It was designed by Maison Repossi, French jewellers.

The Prince is at least twenty years older than Charlene who used to be a swimming star and apparently they are going to be married next year. Unlike recent celebrity weddings where few friends and simplicity have been the order of the day, this one will probably have all the stops pulled out when it comes to pomp and pageantry.
