In Durban, Africa, a woman lost her diamond engagement ring on the beach front and was devastated at her loss. She reported it but there seemed little hope of finding it though the officers who run the centre near the Snake Park there looked for it for two days running. Unfortunately, all they knew about the woman was that her name was Sarah.
Then, the head of a centre called in 30 response members of the tactical team and they all went down on their knees determined to find the lost ring. And find it they did. Now that’s what is called commitment and going the extra mile – they didn’t need to do it but they did.
The only little hitch in this whole episode is that the lady cannot be found now because no one knows her last name. However, the news is out and they are hoping that the lady will come by – they will hand her the ring after she gives them the right description. What a wonderful ending to an otherwise sandy burial for that engagement ring.

Aussie cricketer Michael Clarke’s ex-fiancé gave back the diamond engagement ring that he had given her even as she struggled to get her life back on track again. The high profile break up had filled all the gossip magazines, especially after Lara Bingle’s nude photo shoot that paid her an exorbitant amount of money.
Lara says that she has sacked her celebrity manager and she is busy getting her life back together and she would like a quiet spell now. She did the right thing and gave the high priced engagement ring back to Michael instead of flushing it down the toilet. All she wants right now, according to her, is to be away from the limelight.

A jeweller in Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA has come up with a novel idea – to give away a free cruise with an engagement ring. Well, diamond engagement rings are expensive and so are honeymoons so if you get one free, it helps a lot! That’s why Valentine’s Jewellery has joined hands with two cruise lines - Norwegian and Royal Caribbean to promote this scheme.
When a couple buys an engagement ring over a certain value, they will get a coupon for a cruise for two on either of these cruise liners valid for 8 days, 7 nights and they can use it anytime before one year of the purchase is up. What’s more, if you don’t like any of the rings that are available, they will make a ring especially for you, to your specifications. Such a great idea!

A Korean jewellery company called LUVU has designed an extraordinary new engagement ring box. It is in the shape of an egg but it’s a lot more than that. This very modern and contemporary egg shaped box has a special sensor. So when a man presents a girl with it when he proposes to her, she is supposed to kiss it.
It is like a fairytale because the magic kiss makes the box fly open thanks to special sensors that react to the heat in human lips. There’s more – when the box opens up, the ring which is strategically placed in the centre is lit up by LED lights that light it up from all sides as the bottom portion of the box rotates so the ring goes around. All of this with music to go with the occasion. Of course, you can have precious stones put into the inside and outside of the box if you wish and have it custom made with your design.
So now, the engagement ring finally gets fitting packaging to go with it – beautiful, unique and something both the younger as well as the older customers would love.

It was a sad day for a teacher who was flying from JFK to San Diego in the US. She went to the bathroom with her one-year old and took her rings off to put some lotion on her hands. When her little one distracted her, she forgot about the rings and went back to her seat. It was only after they landed and were in their hotel room that she realised the rings were missing.
They searched everywhere and then called the airline but no one had turned anything in. The tragic part was that besides her diamond engagement ring, she had also worn her grandmother’s diamond wedding ring and she’s heartbroken that she has gone and lost an heirloom which she could have passed down to the next generation.

Most people could never, ever imagine that they could lose a diamond engagement ring on a street and then have it found and returned to them. However, this is exactly what happened to someone in Litherland, a northern suburb of Liverpool.
Danielle Nelson had got engaged four years ago to her childhood sweetheart and the diamond engagement ring she had on was worth thousands of pounds. She had gone shopping and come back when she suddenly realised her ring was missing. She was so shocked and depressed that she couldn’t even go to work for a few days. So you can imagine just how ecstatic she felt six weeks later when the police called and said they had found a diamond ring like the one she had reported lost.
The strange thing is that the woman who found it on the street was just glad that the ring was reunited with its owner and didn’t want any reward whatsoever. There are some wonderful people still on this planet!

Imagine the firemen’s surprise when they dug out a fabulous diamond ring from one of their boots which were kept to collect money for charity. That’s what happened in Warner Robins in Georgia, USA at the Fire Department.
The boots had been kept all over town and the charity that the proceeds were going to was the MDA or the Muscular Dystrophy Association. As the boots were being emptied out, one of the firemen spotted something glistening and realised that it was a diamond ring, probably a diamond engagement ring. So the question was, did it fall in by mistake or was it put there by a very generous person?
Just in case it was a mistake, the owner would probably be going crazy looking all over for it so the firemen have posted up notices to see if the owner shows up to claim it. Meanwhile, the Fire Department of Warner Robins has topped the list of contributors to the MDA. They have been raising money for this good cause since 1995 and since then have raised over ÂŁ1 million.

Well, not yet but she will be when she is reunited with the diamond that fell off her diamond ring on a bus journey in New South Wales. She realised the stone was missing when she was travelling on a late night bus and searched high and low for it but couldn’t find it.
The great thing was, another driver who was driving the bus the next day saw it and picked it up – of all places on the pavement where she had boarded the bus. And the lady looked all over the bus thinking that was where it had fallen.
The strange twist is that they don’t know who the couple is and so they have had to look through security footage so they can identify them. One hopes that the lady does read or hear about it and comes to claim her diamond. From despondency to delight will probably be what she feels! Somehow a diamond engagement ring has such sentimental value!

Are Uma Thurman and Arpad Busson going to get married this weekend? The rumours are very strong as the couple has jetted off to an island in the Bahamas and sources say that it is quite likely they will come back married.
Millionaire Arpad Busson and Uma Thurman got engaged last year and what was in the news then was the diamond engagement ring he gave her – twenty diamonds surrounding a huge eight carat diamond. So we wonder if a wedding ring is going to be added to that sparkler very soon.
The island they are on is the very same one where Mariah Carey got married last tear. They need to be there for two whole days before a marriage licence will be issued to them. Everyone including the officials is very tight lipped about things so maybe we can expect some good news in a few days.
