Is That An Engagement Ring, Miley Cyrus?

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

With the young stars, you never know. Is that an engagement ring on their finger or do they just wear a ring on that finger whenever they feel like it or do they get a kick out of messing with the press? It’s hard to tell because there are many of them who just don’t seem to think anything of being seen around town with a ring on that special finger and a few days later, the ring isn’t seen anymore and the press and their fans are left baffled about why they do the things they do. Of course, it gets them a lot of publicity as speculation runs rife – so maybe they do know what they are doing, after all.
Is it the same case with Miley Cyrus? She was seen around town wearing what looked like a diamond engagement ring. Well, at least it was a huge diamond ring on that finger – you know which one. She was on her way to meet Liam Hemsworth for lunch dressed down as much as she could so it was no wonder that many did not notice the dazzling diamond ring on her finger. Let’s face it, she and Liam have been together for over two years now and that says something about the stability of their relationship. The Disney star looks like she and her co-star in The Last Song are all set to tie the knot.
However, it could also be that she wants to make it a done deal before The Hunger Games is released. It looks like Liam is going to be a very popular actor after that so is she trying to make sure that he is all tied up before that happens? She did throw him a huge birthday party with a cake that caused a lot of comment so maybe she is preparing for a big day sometime soon.

There is also a wide range of sizes available so no matter how thin or fat your finger is, you can be sure to get something for it.

It’s become so important because what you wear seems to be a reflection of your status.

Katrina Bowden’s Huge Diamond Engagement Ring

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

The Screen Actors Guild dazzled with diamonds. There were a number of jewellers who draped the stars with diamonds so that the red carpet looked like one shimmery space with the stars all dressed to the hilt. Of course, there were actors and actresses who wore their own jewellery as well and one of them was Katrina Bowden of the TV series 30 Rock. Many of the others basked in the glow of diamonds in order to advertise them but Katrina’s magnificent diamond ring stood out amidst all of them.
The diamond engagement ring that her fiancé Ben Jorgensen gave her was worth nearly £20,000 and it has a 2-carat princess cut diamond in the centre with two round diamonds on either side. The ring is set in platinum and it tapers down from these three diamonds with other round diamonds set in channels. She had on an outfit by Amsale, bag by Judith Leiber and shoes by Stuart Weitzman and they were so complementary to the dress.
The couple first met seven years ago when they were both very young and they felt the connection. Then, when they met again two years ago, they knew this was real. What a romantic story! Katrina acts in the very successful series which airs on NBC and while she was a guest star in the first few episodes, she became a permanent fixture after that as the laid-back assistant who wears revealing outfits. Ben is a musician and was the lead singer and guitarist for Armor for Sleep though he as parted ways with them now and has gone solo.

Home Improvement Store Helps To Find Missing Wedding Ring

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

In Columbus in Ohio, USA, a woman lost her wedding ring and never thought there were any hopes of getting it back again. However, she didn’t want to just let things be without making a latch ditch effort to find it so she went to a home improvement store to see if they could help her. This was a store in Arden and one of the employees was, to her good luck, a metal detector hobbyist.
This metal detector hobbyist offered to be of help and he decided to help the lady and her husband find the wedding ring that she had lost. He got together with another hobbyist and together they went off to the couple’s home, very confident that if the ring was anywhere in the vicinity of the house, they would find it. They arrived at the house and set off around it, searching for the wedding ring with their equipment.
They must have been looking all over for an hour when suddenly, their equipment detected something and they found the wedding ring among some vines. What a great joy it was for the couple. However, their luck did not end there. There was another lost ring of theirs that they found and they also found a set of car keys which had been lost. According to the couple, the only payment these two would accept was some chocolate cake and coffee, no money. There are still so many people with good hearts all over the world.

Heidi Klum Seen With Wedding Ring On

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

Has it become fashionable in Hollywood to be seen with your wedding ring on even after you’ve separated and you are on the road to divorce? There are many – both men and women celebrities that seem to like the idea of keeping their wedding ring on almost as though they want to let the world know that they have not moved on from their marriage. Heidi Klum is the latest on the bandwagon and she is still wearing her ring though the media is full of reports of how she and Seal have been having huge marriage problems and they have separated.
And yet, pictures have surfaced of Heidi dropping her kids off for a karate class with her wedding ring very much on her finger. What she did do however, was to turn the ring around so the diamond wasn’t visible. So why is she wearing it? For the sake of the kids? The strange thing is, Seal has also said that he will wear his wedding ring because he feels that a couple separating does not mean that the wedding ring should be removed at once.
One wonders if this is going to be a new trend among celebrities. Considering the huge amounts they spend on their engagement rings and wedding rings, will they keep them on after they go their separate ways? What if a person gets married four or five times – quite common in their world – will their fingers then be decorated with rings like notches on a totem pole? Food for thought indeed!

Diamond Rings And Diamond Jewellery Dazzle At Screen Actors Guild Award Ceremony

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

The stars dazzled and so did the diamonds and there seemed no end to the dazzle and shine of these wonderful gemstones at the prestigious Screen Actors Guild Awards. Ever since it was instituted in 1995, this awards ceremony has been a much awaited annual affair and the awards have been very prized because the selection and the awarding is done by the actors – a peer group.
This year’s ceremony saw Penelope Miller draped in diamonds by one of the leading American diamond jewellers – Blue Nile. She had on a stunning sapphire and diamond ring, matching earrings and a matching bracelet – all of them caught the light and shimmered and shone on the red carpet and inside. These pieces were a part of what the company calls the Extraordinary Collection and they are specially designed for wearing on the red carpet for the best Hollywood events so the whole world can see their creations.
The same actress wore a vintage 10-carat diamond cuff the previous night at the Directors Guild Awards and this too was by the same jeweller. There have been others who have been draped in diamonds too – Nancy Carell and her husband Steve Carell being among them. It really is a great opportunity for jewellers to showcase their best pieces at events like these – it’s a one way ticket to displaying them at their best and getting orders for unique jewellery.

Blue Stone Ring Instead Of Wedding Ring For Katy Perry

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

There was so much talk that even after she and Russell Brand decided to call it a day, Katy Perry was still wearing her wedding ring – almost as though she still wanted to salvage what was left of the marriage. However, those rumours have all been laid to rest now with her having taken off her wedding ring that caused so much speculation and replacing it with a silver ring which has a blue stone. She was seen around town wearing the ring almost like she wanted everyone to know that things were absolutely over.
The thing is, the couple had already filed for divorce and it very definitely looked like Russell Brand had moved on. However, the fact that Katy’s wedding ring was still on was enough for people to feel that maybe there was some chance that they would get back together again. It’s happened before with celebrities and even if it isn’t like that in regular life, celebrities are known to play by a different set of rules and what might seem impossible for others may just work for them.
With Russell Brand and Katy Perry, marriage seemed such a strange union considering how different they are. Right now, both seem to be dignified about it and not fighting over things in the media and one hopes they can put this behind them and be civil. For now, that’s a pretty ring on Katy’s finger even though it isn’t a wedding ring.

Lost Wedding Ring Takes A Trip To Egypt And Back

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

When Helen lost her wedding ring at Marks & Spencer’s at Gerrard’s Cross little did she think that it would surface thousands of miles away. She is in sales at the store and she had been packing a number of things for various customers when she suddenly noticed that her wedding ring was missing. She got married in 1990 and since then, she has had her ring on always till now when she lost it.
Helen didn’t sit around doing nothing and accepting the fact that her precious wedding ring was gone. She decided to make an appeal to the person who might have found it and it was done through the Advertiser. The appeal was emotional – she begged the person who had found it to please return it as the ring had such sentimental value for her. Of course she got a number of responses, many of them were sympathy ones. Then, last week, when she walked in to work, she found that a man had left a note for her saying that he might know the whereabouts of the ring and he asked her to call him.
When Helen called, she got the biggest surprise of her life. The man had come to the store with his mother and Helen had been bagging their shopping. The lady had bought a Christmas pudding to take to friends of theirs in Egypt who she was going to see and Helen had packed it for her. The wedding ring had got stuck to the wrapping and it was when the lady opened it in Egypt that she realised that there was a wedding ring there and it had to have come from the store. The lady comes back home next month after her holiday and she will be carrying Helen’s treasured wedding ring with her. Imagine – that ring would have travelled over four thousand miles before it gets back onto Helen’s finger again. If only that wedding ring could talk, what a tale of adventure it would tell!

New Engagement Ring App For Android Phones

Monday, January 30th, 2012

There seems to be an app for just about everything today. An app to message, an app to remind you of what to do, an app to list your tasks, an app to make your appliances more intelligent and one wonders how long it will be before there’s an app that will breathe and do everything else for you! So why should engagement rings be left out in the cold?
There’s a jeweller who has an app now that makes choosing engagement rings much easier. Taking today’s audience into account, this app is available for iPhones, Android phones as well as for social networking sites like Facebook. So what does this app help you do? It lets you rotate the image of the diamond engagement ring any which way you want so you can see it from all and any angle. It also lets you view the engagement ring as it would look on a hand. The great thing about is the fact that there are so many options when it comes to angles, types and changing things around like the size of the diamond or the setting to see how it would look in every metal.
While choosing an engagement ring today, men want everyone’s opinions – their friends, family et al seem to be involved in the decision-making process. Maybe that is what the speed of technology has done to people – make them able to connect so fast that they want everyone they know to come on board when it means making a decision like this. When there is an incredible app like this one, it means the person can choose the options and send it off immediately to anyone whose opinion they value and wait a few minutes for a decision. For a generation that shares every single waking moment with an audience, this is a very welcome app indeed.

Is Jessica Biel Going To Get Second Engagement Ring?

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

If rumours are to be believed, Justin Timberlake proposed to girlfriend Jessica Biel with a diamond ring. Only it was a rather small diamond ring and apparently she wanted something that was a bit more showy. Maybe he thought small was classy and elegant but it looks like she was looking for a bit more bling. Which is why even though the rumours about their engagement are so hot, there’s no ring to be seen.
According to sources, Justin proposed to her last month in Wyoming where they were on holiday. However, it seems that she wasn’t amused with the minimalistic diamond engagement ring. So according to people in the know, Justin Timberlake is going to ask his mother for help to help him choose a more suitable ring. He feels that she really should be given what she wants.
Of course, there are those who say that Justin proposed to Jessica because he wanted her to stop about his straying and it looks like there have been a number of instances where he was suspected of having played the field. This engagement of course would put those rumours to rest. And it would also, so they say, help her to keep quiet because his friends feel that he has no desire to get married any time in their near future. Justin is known to just love his single status and his freedom so it might be a long while before they actually get married. However, he obviously did not want to lose her so now it looks like he has the best of both worlds.
