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 yearâs Emmy Awards was Emily Bluntâs diamond and platinum bangle, Kellyâs Osborneâs white and black diamonds in platinum bracelets, Kim Kardashianâs platinum cuffs liberally studded with diamonds that were white and champagne coloured and Kyra Sedgwickâs platinum and diamonds earrings, ring and bracelets.

When Marie Nordmann got to 40 and felt that she wasnât going to get married, she decided that she didnât need anyone to give her a wedding ring â 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 didnât want just any old ring.
Itâs 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 Ÿ carat while the two smaller diamonds she used are œ a carat.

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.

Whatever will men who are going to propose think of next? Mike Perrett from north-west London lost a leg a few years ago and he had saved the bone, making things from that bone using a DIY kit. He was always good with his hands so when he saw a friend wearing a plastic earring he went and made a bone earring from the bone he had. He also made a necklace and cufflinks.
So when it came to one of the most important days of his life, he wondered how he could make it special for his girlfriend Melita and thatâs when he got the idea of using some of the bone for an engagement ring. So he worked with a jeweller and the platinum ring has a diamond and â you guessed it â a piece of bone!
Mike lost his leg in India when he was helping out in an orphanage. He was playing volleyball with the children when he fell off a cliff. His leg could not be saved but his shin bone was given to him and heâs kept it as a reminder.

Finally, the star of Ugly Betty, that popular TV serial and her long time partner, Ryan Piers Williams are engaged and sheâs wearing a 4-carat diamond engagement ring as proof. Itâs been years since the couple started first seeing each other and America was seen at the Edinburgh Festival where she had come for the movie the Illusionist of Scotland.
America has acted in a number of films but people will remember her the most for her role in Ugly Betty, the girl with the braces, glasses and a heart of gold. Sheâs won the Golden Globe, sheâs won ten other awards and sheâs had twenty-five nominations. Thatâs a lot for a 26-year old. Her film âOur Family Weddingâ is set to be released soon. Way back, when Ryan was still a student, he had her in his play when he was at the University of California. Since then, heâs gone on to become a great director and producer.
The diamond ring is huge and itâs a round cut stone set in platinum. It looks like America has dazzling days to look forward to in every way. In real life, the star is far from the famous character she plays in looks but itâs a character that somehow walked into the hearts of viewers and become someone who a lot of people identify with. In real life, the fairy tale ending is similar though as she finally wears the ring given to her by her long time love.
