Diamond Ring And Hair Of Elvis Fetch a Lot

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

The Heritage Auction which sold Elvis memorabilia last month realised quite a bit from the King’s possessions. Had he been alive, he would have been 75 today and there were many who wanted to own a part of him which is why this auction at Memphis drew a large crowd.

His stunning gold and diamond cameo ring sold for a huge sum and so did a lot of other pieces that were auctioned. However, his famous white piano didn’t sell because it did not get the asking price. They say it might be sold privately later. With Elvis dying so young it was obvious that the great performer he was, he would be remembered for years by his loyal fans.

What made news was the jar of dyed black hair of his that had been collected by his barber and was auctioned along with his other stuff. He was so famous for his black quaff and the hair no doubt was a great bit to remember him by for the person who bid for it and bought it.

Abbey Clancy Seen With Engagement Ring On

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Out on a date with Peter Crouch, Abbey Clancy, the lingerie model was seen wearing her diamond engagement ring. Does this mean that all is right between them? They were seen out together for the first time since the news about Peter Crouch hit the public gaze. However, they were seen to be enjoying each other’s company and were at L’Atelier, the posh Soho restaurant.

The diamond dazzler was off her finger for quite a while soon after Peter Crouch was reported to have paid a teenage hooker. She wasn’t seen around with him either and sources said she was devastated. They seem to have gotten over it now though and it looks like they have patched up things and cleared misunderstandings between them.

The restaurant is a double Michelin-starred one and is known for its caviar, foie gras and quail. It is one of London’s hot spots and famous for its romantic dinners. If that’s the case, it augurs well for the couple.

Diamond Ring For Herself

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

When Marie Nordmann got to 40 and felt that she wasn’t going to get married, she decided that she didn’t need anyone to give her a wedding ring – 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 didn’t want just any old ring.

It’s 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. There was a lot of thought that went into this ring which she wanted to make very special.

Marie works as a liaison resource between developers of software and other businesses and helps them fine tune programmes. She also writes a blog and is active on Facebook. This diamond ring that she has designed for herself has become her favourite jewellery piece.

Is Kate Moss Wearing A Wedding Ring?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

It looks like Kate Moss and her fiancĂ© Jamie Hince have got married – well, it must have been a very secret affair considering no one’s got a whiff of it yet, except for the fact that both of them seem to be wearing wedding bands – and matching ones, too. Not just that, they were seen to be wearing matching tattoos as well on their wrists and they were tattoos of anchors.

Both Kate and Jamie were wearing silver rings and she was wearing it over her engagement ring – a beautiful diamond ring. The couple has been holidaying in Italy for two weeks. Sources say that they have bought a place on Stromboli Island in Italy because they just love the volcanic island.

The couple has been together for three years now and it has been noticed that Jamie has a good and stabilizing effect on Kate. They were introduced to each other by Sadie Frost and they have been together since then even though rumours of rows abound. Kate’s daughter by an earlier relationship and Jamie are also said to get on very well together. They got engaged on her birthday when Jamie flew to the Caribbean to propose to her.

A DIY Diamond Engagement Ring

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

Matt Katz of Australia didn’t just want any diamond engagement ring. He wanted to put a lot of himself into this token of love so he decided to make his own engagement ring for his girlfriend. It was a painstaking process and not many men can do it – but he had set his heart on doing just that so he learned all about it and went through the different processes to come up with a stunning solitaire diamond ring.

First, he had to bend the band of gold – you need to choose the right tools for this and you need to decide what metal you need – eco-friendly recycled metal is always a great choice. Then you need to decide what stone to use – a diamond is always best, but even here, the choice is huge when it comes to shape, cut and weight. The setting for the diamond is vital and needs to be strong so the diamond won’t easily slip out of it. The setting and the ring have to be soldered well together so it seems seamless. Then, it’s time to set the stone. Once that is done, you need to polish the engagement ring so it looks its dazzling best.

Well, most men as we said, prefer to take the easy way and go look at a reputed diamond store to choose the engagement ring. The choice is huge, the finish perfect and you know you can go back to them if there is a problem. However, full marks to the DIY man for wanting this to be a personal gift from the heart.

Gold Diamond Engagement Ring Found In Langley, Canada – No Claimant

Friday, August 20th, 2010

There’s a gold engagement ring that has been found in Langley in British Columbia, Canada but thus far, no one has come forward to claim the ring. The engagement ring has a solitaire diamond in a round cut set in the centre and the setting is yellow gold. The ring is obviously very new as the price tag is still attached to it. So did some man buy it, hoping to ask the girl of his dreams to marry him and then dropped it somewhere?

Where was it found? It was found in a petrol station at Mohawk when a man stopped to fill air in his tyres. Suddenly, he noticed something on the ground, shining and when he picked it up, he saw it was a yellow gold diamond ring with, as we said, the price tag still attached.

So many engagement rings are lost all over the world and yet, there are some good souls who find them and look for their owners because they know just how sentimental in value an engagement ring can be. This, in spite of the fact that in most cases, the diamond alone will fetch a pretty penny.

Expensive Engagement Ring Falls Into Cape Cod

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

There he was, all set to propose when nature disposed of his plans. He had the over £5500 diamond engagement ring in his hand and he was feeling so romantic and pleased with himself considering he had set this up to be different and special. He had planned to slip the ring onto his girlfriend’s finger on the jetty in South Yarmouth in the US. He attached the ring to a sand dollar and when the girlfriend hopefully found it, she would see the ring too and he could propose.

Trust women to change the best laid plans. She did find the sand dollar but she was so excited seeing the ring that she dropped the sand dollar and the ring into the water. So even though they tried searching, the surf claimed the engagement ring as well as his carefully laid plan.

They were lucky that the ring was insured but we wonder how many more men have planned things so well and lost their rings. It might be so much better if they just hid a note saying ‘Will you marry me?’ in such places and take out the ring from their pockets when the girl said ‘Yes’.

Jessica Simpson Buys Herself A 3-Carat Diamond Engagement Ring

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

So she went out and got herself her own engagement ring and sources say it is an expensive diamond ring with a 3-carat diamond. In this day and age, that might not seem unseemly except that her fiancĂ© hasn’t got his divorce from his previous wife yet. So is the engagement ring in anticipation of the divorce or is she telling him to get on with it and get married to her soon?

Jessica has been with Eric Johnson for just three weeks and one wonders if that isn’t a little too soon to know that the person is the one. But Jessica insists she does and who is anyone to argue with her? It also transpires that she just wants to get married and this is probably the first step towards that end.

Well, she has all the money one could want and if she wants to buy herself a ring, so be it. According to Eric’s wife, he’s broke and while he did live with her earlier, she thinks he is now living with Jessica. No doubt the ring will be flaunted as soon as the divorce is a fact.

Pink Panther Thieves And Diamond Rings

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

In a theft that could well be a movie script, members of a gang of thieves called the Pink Panther, after the famous movie, hid a very expensive diamond ring worth over one million in a pot of face cream and tried to smuggle it out of the country. Very ingenious and maybe thrilling in a movie but in real life, it’s rather sad for the owner of the diamond ring.

The gang of thieves have many members it is claimed, maybe over two hundred and they specialise in robberies in the Balkans, the Gulf and in Asia, Three years ago, they stole a very expensive diamond tiara in Tokyo and made off with it. The gang is known for the speed with which it operates and its creative planning of each theft. They have operated for over ten years and they have done a number of armed robberies as well.

Now, one of the gang members has been arrested in Spain and the Japanese have asked for him to be extradited to Tokyo to stand trial and it looks like the Spanish ministry has agreed.

Is Bar Going To Get An Engagement Ring?

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

It appears that Leonardo DiCaprio has been seen looking at rings and you know what that means – or at least, what every fan of his will think. Leo and Bar Rafaeli have been together for five years now and that is one long relationship in Hollywood where people seem to be changing partners every month.

The news seem to be doing the rounds thanks to a close friend who says that the famous actor has told him that he is going to take his mother along to look at engagement rings for Bar. He has been busy the past few years, making one hit movie after another that it is understandable that he was too busy to get married. However, the couple seem very happy together and it was only a matter of time, we thought before they announced plans to get together.

Apparently Leonardo is also thinking of selling his pad and moving into a house which Bar would love, no doubt. So maybe we’ll hear the good news too. We wonder what the engagement ring is going to be like. A diamond ring to put all the recent ones to shame?

Diamond Ring And Valuables Stolen In Farnham

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

It’s sad to see a spate of thefts in the Surrey area and there seem to be far too many burglaries with things of value being stolen. One of the homes in Farnham saw the theft of a valuable diamond ring, an expensive watch, a video camera and photographic equipment.

The thieves seem to have got in through an open window and they obviously made their way there through the roof. The police believe that a blue Vauxhall Vectra which was seen in the scene of other crimes similar to this could be the vehicle used by the thieves. In some cases, they seem to have used metal bars to open doors and windows and gain access into the homes.

The estimated value of the things stolen is £12,000 and police have warned people to leave their doors and windows securely locked when they are away from home. They would need to double check and it would be wise to not leave their valuables unlocked in an empty house. They would be better off in a safe that is secure and people should also take care to ensure that no newspapers, mail or parcels accumulate on the doorstep. Enlisting a neighbour’s help to remove it everyday would be a wise idea.
