Diamond Engagement Rings Specialist

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.

The Hollywood actress Hillary Duff got engaged Mike Comrie, a hockey player in February this year and it looks like wedding plans are on for the couple. Her engagement ring made news with its huge diamond and it is valued at close to £65,000. They were on a trip to Hawaii when he asked her and she accepted.

The wedding, according to Hillary’s sister is going to be managed by wedding planner Mindy Weiss and it is said to be shaping up as a very intimate, private affair. Hillary is just happy to be getting married and is relaxed and looking forward to having that wedding ring on her finger. It looks like the wedding is going to be a very expensive affair because there have been celebrity trainers who have been hired for Hillary’s bride routine.

They are preparing for it when it comes to the first dance too and sources say that they have been taking lessons for a few months to ensure that it is perfect. Their private instructor is Lisa Goodman. Here’s wishing their perfect dance lasts for always.

Blue Nile jewellers of the USA, leaders in online diamond jewellery have launched a Recently Purchased feature for engagement rings where people who log on can see over a thousand three hundred designs that have been customised. It also gives people looking at the site the opportunity to see the characteristics of the diamond or diamonds that have been used as well as all the other features like the price, the setting, the carat, etc.

This is one of the most comprehensive engagement ring databases there is online. It also makes buying an engagement ring, especially a diamond engagement ring so much easier and more transparent. What people can see on this site is just how different a setting or the carat weight can impact the look of the diamond. For example, how different will a 2 carat diamond look from a 1 carat one?

This feature on the site is dynamic and keeps changing all the time. The items that are featured here are all unique, made by their jewellers who are master craftsmen. The database keeps evolving and growing and there are so many designs you can look at and alter depending on what you want and how much you are going to pay 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 that’s 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 – you guessed it – 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 he’s kept it as a reminder.

Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock from South Africa are engaged and everything about it spells royal pomp and fairytale splendour. Now she’s beautiful and everything a fairytale princess should be – well groomed, exquisite and dignified. And he of course, is royal.

The diamond engagement ring is one that is befitting to the situation and it has a huge centre stone, at least three carats surrounded by round diamonds. The centre stone is pear-shaped and the diamonds are set in gold that is greyish in colour. The ring is both beautiful and regal. It dazzled the sights of anyone who saw it. It was designed by Maison Repossi, French jewellers.

The Prince is at least twenty years older than Charlene who used to be a swimming star and apparently they are going to be married next year. Unlike recent celebrity weddings where few friends and simplicity have been the order of the day, this one will probably have all the stops pulled out when it comes to pomp and pageantry.

Finally, the star of Ugly Betty, that popular TV serial and her long time partner, Ryan Piers Williams are engaged and she’s wearing a 4-carat diamond engagement ring as proof. It’s 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. She’s won the Golden Globe, she’s won ten other awards and she’s had twenty-five nominations. That’s a lot for a 26-year old. Her film ‘Our Family Wedding’ 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, he’s gone on to become a great director and producer.

The diamond ring is huge and it’s 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 it’s 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.

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.

The Fargo marathon in North Dakota, USA was great in more ways than one. One of the women who participated had a pleasant surprise as she crossed the finish line. There was her boyfriend who was also the director of the marathon waiting for her with an engagement ring. And how did he present it to her? He hung the medal that all those who finished got around her neck and she was amazed to see something attached to it. There it was – a pink string with a diamond ring attached to it.

He went down on one knee, released the ring from the string and proposed. What could she do but accept such a wonderful proposal? As soon as she accepted, the announcement was made over the loudspeaker system. Now this is one proposal that the people there are not going to forget in a long time.

Country music singer Miranda Lambert has got engaged to singer Blake Shelton and she has been proudly flaunting her diamond ring. She first showed it off at Blake’s party for his song that is on top of the charts in country music. Apparently they got engaged on the 9th of this month after being together for five years.

The engagement is supposed to have taken place in the woods in Oklahoma, on their property. She’s thrilled with the ring, happy that Blake seems to have known exactly what she wanted. Both are at the top of their careers so whether wedding bells will ring in a hurry or not is anybody’s guess.

Jude Miller gave Sienna Miller a diamond engagement ring way back in 2004 and then of course, there was all that brouhaha about the nanny issue and the messy break up. However, the couple has got back together and they are said to be enjoying each other’s company. For the past two years, the two have been seen around together and have even been caught holidaying together.

And now, she’s wearing his ring again – not on the left hand but the right. So we’re wondering just how soon it will be before the ring is on the right finger. He seems to be back on good terms with her family again and it’s probably only a matter of a very short time before they announce their engagement – or should it be re-engagement?

The funny man of the popular TV series ‘Little Britain’ is engaged and that too after dating supermodel Lara Stone for just a few months. He’s 38 and she’s 25 and they both sound very happy. Apparently David called up her parents in the Netherlands so he could ask them for their blessings. Only after that did he propose to her.

According to sources, the engagement ring has a large diamond which is said to be around 4 carats. It is a round shaped diamond and it is set in a diamond band. Lara Stone has recently been in the news because she has replaced Madonna as the face of Louis Vuitton. The company has gone back to using models – only, unlike the usual Size Zero models that most use, they prefer a flesh and blood model with sexy curves and the gap-toothed beauty seems to fit the bill very well for their Spring Collection this year.
