Diamond Engagement Rings Specialist

He wasn’t ready to confess to the public that he really was engaged to the make-up artist on his show, not even when she was seen sporting a huge rock of a ring on her left hand. However, at on the Jay Leno show two days ago, Simon Cowell finally came out and told the world that he was engaged to Mezhgan Hussainy. Even though speculation is rife that he actually proposed on Valentine’s Day, he refused to get drawn into making any confessions of how, where and when.

Of course, a bit of his acerbic wit came to his aid and he said that it would be a shame if what he was wasn’t carried on – so he’s obviously looking forward to little Simons coming along. Famous for his caustic wit and quick comebacks, maybe this was one time that Simon did look a bit embarrassed but it’s obvious he’s very much in love.

This season’s show The Bachelor, a reality show where for 14 weeks, one man’s heart has to be won by one among 24 young women, came to an end with the bachelor, Jake Pavelka choosing Vienna Girardi as his bride. He dated all of them during this time and finally made up his mind about who he wanted by his side.

The engagement ring he presented her was a Neil Lane one with diamonds weighing 2.7 carats. There were seventy diamonds surrounding a 2 carat centre diamond and it was set in platinum. Neil Lane is very popular with Hollywood stars and there are many of his jewellery designs that can be seen on the red carpet. This one was short listed from six of his designs.

There are a whole lot of romantic ideas when it comes to proposals and how a man gives the woman of his dreams the engagement ring. Hidden in champagne, in desserts, proposals in the air, under the sea – there’s so much romance and imagination that surrounds a proposal. There’s one however that goes back to WWII. A soldier wanted so much to ask his girl to marry him and he knew it would be some time before he could get back home. So he asked his sister to do the needful. He sent her the money and asked her to buy the engagement ring and give it to the girl he had known and loved from high school in Illinois, USA.

Today, they’ve been happily married for 64 years and both are over 90 years old. Sophia, the lady still has all those romantic letters that Renner, her husband wrote to her when they were young and apart. She keeps them safe in a cedar chest.

A couple got engaged in New York and soon after that, the woman, Rena Hope Friedman, did everything she could to make Roger Adler break off the engagement. First, she kept pushing him to propose and when he did, she kept wanting a BMW, a honeymoon in Australia with first class air tickets and even told him that his old parents couldn’t attend the wedding. When he decided to break off the engagement, she refused to return the ring.

The engagement ring that Roger Adler got her was a 4-carat diamond which was a radiant cut and it had diamonds on the side and was set in platinum. So he is convinced now that this is a kind of business she runs – getting men to propose to her with a huge diamond ring and then breaking off the engagement while keeping the ring. Of course, he won’t let it go and he’s filed a case demanding the return of the ring. The legal stand is clear – the ring goes back to the man if the engagement is broken.

One of the older American Idol winners, Carrie Underwood got engaged to her hockey boyfriend, Mike Fisher, in December and the size of the ring has been creating ripples of excitement all over. Estimated to be anything in the region of £0.5 million or maybe even more, what does she do but go top that with a Grammy award! Talk about striking it lucky!

The Grammy was awarded for her song ‘I told you so’ in which she collaborated with Randy Davis. Her tour starts in March and we wonder when the wedding date is going to be with her hectic schedules.

A platinum and diamond ring was stolen from a jeweller in Crowthorne and it was valued at over £3,000. The staff at the store said that two men walked in to look at jewellery, created some amount of confusion which distracted the staff and made off with the ring. One said he wanted to look at bracelets for a present for Valentine’s Day while the second said he wanted something to give his girlfriend as her birthday was coming up. Then he corrected himself and said he was thinking of getting engaged.

The staff was so confused that they didn’t realise when the two of them walked out without buying anything that they had taken the ring. They only realised it when they saw the empty ring pad where the platinum trilogy ring had been. Quite a change from burglars entering stores and robbing at gunpoint.

Maybe it’s because more people are aware today about how gold and diamonds are extracted and how much hardship and misery they very often bring to the countries that are rich in them, as well as the environmental hazards that mining for these cause. Could it be that information dissemination is so much quicker today that a lot more people are exposed to what really happens? Whatever the case may be, the trend towards ethical and eco-friendly jewellery has shown a marked increase.

There are couples today who are consciously choosing their engagement and wedding rings so they comply with environmental, ethical and human rights guidelines. So what is an environment friendly or ‘green’ ring? Instead of buying a wedding ring that means anything up to 20 tonnes of ore which goes to make it, the ring could be made of recycled gold or it could be antique gold or even a second hand ring. This would mean saving that much of mining. If the engagement ring has a diamond, you could make sure that it is an ethical diamond and not a blood diamond, which means it isn’t from a country where diamonds are used to start revolutions and massacre millions. Your jeweller will guide you in the right direction.

It looks like it’s becoming a trend – this wearing a diamond ring on the engagement finger and then innocently denying being engaged, It could be two things that are happening. Either there are many who don’t care about the engagement ring finger being exclusively used for the engagement ring and the wedding ring. Or, it’s done with the express purpose of getting the media talking. When it comes to celebrities, the last could well be true because they just love being in the public eye at all times!

Take Hillary Duff, for instance. You know, the young singer and actress who was seen wearing a diamond ring on the left hand ring finger. When you see someone young and famous like her in Hawaii with a ring the obvious conclusion one draws is that she is engaged. However, apparently she isn’t. After the big to-do she made thinking she had lost her dog when all the time it was at home, pulling another trick like this is rather funny.

Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden have been together for three years now and even though they didn’t get engaged or married right away but decided to have their babies instead, all the wait has perhaps done is to ensure that the diamond engagement ring is even bigger than one thought possible. Nicole has always liked her jewellery to be large and flashy and it looks like that has extended to her engagement ring as well.

The large diamond is securely set in platinum so it minimizes the chance of it falling out. It has a classic centre diamond which is brilliant cut but it has a modern design around it with a pavé design. It looks like there’s a wedding planned in summer.

The big name in music, Simon Cowell – now who doesn’t know of him? – seems to have finally fallen pretty hard if sources are to be believed. The rather caustic-tongued Simon seems to have forgotten that he had once said he would never get married and now seems to be quite wanting little Simons around him. After admitting that his current girlfriend, American Idol make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy could be the one, he seems quite set to maybe walk up the aisle sometime in the near future.

Talk has been circulating ever since people noticed the expensive diamond bracelet and the diamond ring – a rock of a ring one might add, on her left hand ring finger. Add to that the fact that this is the first woman that he has been demonstrative with in public and you’ll see why everyone seems hopeful that there could be some exciting news in the offing. Though it seemed like Valentine’s Day would be a good time to announce the engagement if there was going to be one, thus far, there’s been no word.

They were engaged sixty years ago and then they lost touch and though both loved each other, fate kept them apart. They both married others but never forgot each other. Till one day, 60 years later, they got in touch with each other over the Internet, reconnected and got married.

Then tragedy struck this romantic old couple in America. When she came back to her hometown to pack and move in with him in Los Angeles, he disappeared without a trace. Till now, his body has not been found. While she suspects foul play because he was well off, his children say that maybe he just went away because he felt shocked by what he had done on an impulse. For her, it’s a double tragedy as she sits waiting for news of him – wearing her new white gold wedding ring and her 60 year old platinum diamond engagement ring which has never left her possession.
