Diamond Engagement Rings

Birmingham striker is supposed to have gone down on one knee to propose to Gemma Atkinson end-October and she now wears a huge rock for an engagement ring on her finger. It happened when the couple had gone for a break to the Lake District and they came back engaged.

The couple’s romantic journey has been an on-off thing. It all began over two years ago but they drifted apart. Gemma Atkinson stars in I’m a Celebrity, a jungle reality show and after they had split up, she was heard to say that she thought she was too young to settle down. So this engagement comes as a bit of a surprise. Yes, the two were seen around together before she left for Australia for the shoot.

She calls him her diamond in the rough and apparently he is very romantic. Will it last? Marcus has been seen around with glamorous models when Gemma and he were not together. However, this time around, it looks like a rosy future is ahead for both of them.

A young couple bought their wedding rings at a jeweller’s store and got married in June. Though they had paid for the wedding rings by credit card, they got a lot of money as gifts during their wedding and so decided to pay off the amount through an online bill payment company. Imagine their shock when they got a reminder from the jewellery store that they hadn’t paid. Jason and Sarah Williams from Sacramento, USA were nonplussed because their online bill payment records showed that the money had been credited to the company.

It was only after quite a bit of confusion that they realized that there were two online companies with the same name and the payment had gone to the wrong company. There were two Rogers Jewellers – while one was the store in Sacramento they had bought their white gold wedding rings from, the payment had erroneously gone to a store of the same name in Iowa. What followed was worse – the store that received the money didn’t return it to them so they ended up paying for their rings twice. Well, the online payment company gave them a refund so all’s well that ends well.

Spotted with boyfriend Lewis Hamilton in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Nicole Scherzinger had a large diamond ring on her left hand and suspicions are it’s an engagement ring. The two have been together for a while now and the singer even wrote a song for him.

Lewis Hamilton has just become the new Formula One champion after the Brazilian Grand Prix after which Nicole posted a video online proclaiming her love for him. She doesn’t hide her feelings for him and has been pretty open about their affair since the time they started dating in spring this year.

In Brazil, even as reporters and photographers crowded around to take pictures of the two of them, she put her left hand up to her waist all the better to show off her ring – so little wonder everyone’s talking. With a rock like that, it looks like they are all set to announce their engagement to the world.

A thief who posed as a customer took a Chorley jeweller for a ride as he made off with an 18-carat diamond ring. The jeweller in Market Place had been there for over 20 years and nothing like this had ever happened to him.

When did this robbery take place? In broad daylight, at 10.10 a.m. The thief walked in and asked the jewellery store owner to show him a ring that had been displayed in the shop window. Then he changed his mind and wanted to see something else, then the first one again. In all this confusion, he suddenly just took the ring and walked out and the jeweller just didn’t know what to do - he was so shocked!

The CCTV in the shop was on and the police have got a fair idea of what the man looks like. He had an accomplice with him but the second man waited outside the shop.

Imagine making all the arrangements for a wedding, then find that the wedding rings that were ordered hadn’t come. Well that was the plight of a couple in Singapore. They had planned it down to the last detail and everything including the caterers, the gown, the photographers and the invitations are ready. All except the wedding rings.

The couple had paid the initial deposit money for the diamond wedding rings but unfortunately, the shop where they ordered the diamond rings from closed down and the couple had no idea where to go to get their rings. They called, they emailed but there was no response. Even the website was down. They have tracked down some of the Directors of the company but it looks like it will be quite a while before they get any response. So they just intend to go ahead with the wedding without the rings. Will they get the wedding rings they had ordered? We do hope so.

Former Canadian President’s son, Ben Mulroney got married to his fiancé, Jessica Brownstein a few days ago. The wedding was held in Montreal, in St. Patrick’s Basilica and it was attended by the former Prime Minister and his wife. The wedding was an intimate affair for just family and a few close friends. The couples’ love story goes right back to their school days. They knew each other from those days and had always stayed friends.

Jessica Brownstein is a fashion designer from Montréal and Ben is the host of Canadian Idol. Apparently, the couple wrote their own vows and read them to each other. The priest conducted the wedding service but it was blessed by a rabi. After the service, Ben and his wife hurried off to get into a waiting limousine.

From Long Island comes an amazing tale. Claudio Grammatico’s daughter was getting married and on her wedding day, their Labrador pup swallowed her diamond engagement ring. Claudio had just lost her son when a drunken driver had caused his death so she just didn’t have the heart to punish the dog who was also probably grieving.

After the wedding, the X-rays showed that the ring was in him so they just had to wait for him to pass it out – which took all of four days. Dogs do the most unexpected things! What it did do for the family was to bring a smile on their faces again after their sad loss. Today, Claudio speaks at organ donor functions and the like and uses the X-ray to make a point.

In Florida, a woman found a diamond ring in a wholesale supermarket and promptly returned it to the office. She works at the BJ’s Wholesale Club and as she was walking along the meat aisle, Mary Klemm saw something glittering on the floor and picked it up, only to find that it was a diamond ring.

Well, it was a lucky day for Lorraine Wurtzel who had been shopping there so the ring must have slipped out of her finger without her being aware of it. That ring had been bought for her on her 20th wedding anniversary in the eighties by her late husband so it was very special to her.

The ring had a 4.6 carat diamond in it so imagine the woman’s joy when after searching in all the stores she had been to, she found it here at BJ’s.

First there was the rumour that Katie Price and Peter were going to split, then now, here’s Katie showing off her huge diamond encrusted wedding ring to tell the world that all is right with her world.

Peter Andre came in to Los Angeles alone and maybe this is what sparked off the rumours. However, he seemed on top of the world as they strolled along the LA streets. Of course, the newspapers have been chasing him wanting to know whether the marriage is on or off and Peter Andre hasn’t said anything yet. This was especially so after having gone separately to two different parties a few days ago.

Could Katie drinking too much at times have anything to do with it? Peter definitely doesn’t like to see her in an inebriated state.

There are strange things that are found in strange places. In Staffordshire, when the Alton Towers Corkscrew Rollercoaster was being cleaned up prior to it being dismantled, there were a number of things that were found. Among them were a diamond wedding ring, a prosthetic leg and twelve St. Christopher crosses. The wedding ring and the crosses might not have caused much of a surprise but the leg definitely did and the park officials wonder how on earth someone could not have missed a leg!

The Corkscrew Rollercoaster is the oldest one in the park and its claim to fame in the years gone by was the fact that it was the first double loop roller coaster in Europe. It was set up in 1980 and it has taken over 40 million people for a ride. On November 9, the park will allow people to have one final ride on this famous rollercoaster before it becomes history.
