So what is a typical Victorian design all about or is there such a thing as a typical Victorian design? They usually have large stones in the centre – these can be diamonds or they can be some other coloured precious stone. This is usually surrounded by an intricate design which is as beautiful as it is timeless. The ring will usually contain some etched words inside and this can be a message of love or a verse.

These Victorian engagement rings can be found in shops that sell old jewellery or pawn shops and they are also available at most jewellers today. These rings are made with modern technology but they look like the real old designs. More and more well known jewellery designers are starting their line of Victorian ring designs and so you’ll find you have a wide choice indeed to choose from.

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

It happened sooner than we thought. When The Office star Jenna Fischer got married a couple of days ago, the word was out that the next in line would be her co-star, John Krasinski in the NBC TV series, The Office with British actress Emily Blunt. The news is that the couple got married in Italy at Lake Como, with Emily in a Marchesa gown. The wedding ceremony took place outdoors and was beautiful if reports are to be believed. They are back and were seen in Los Angeles en route to their honeymoon.

The guest list at the wedding included George Clooney and Elisabetta, his girlfriend and the couple stayed at George Clooney’s place which is close by. So now, Emily Blunt wears a sparking wedding ring that goes well with her huge 3-carat diamond and platinum engagement ring which is designed in an Edwardian style.

Emily Blunt made a name for herself in Hollywood with movies like The Devil Wears Prada and The Young Victoria after a great stint in the UK both on stage and on screen. She’s very versatile as an actress and she is a skilled horsewoman as well as a cello player.

Bachelorette Star To Give Back Engagement Ring

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

Jillian Harris just has to return that wonderful Neil Lane ring that she got on the show and no, she doesn’t quite like to do it, but who would? Well, she would have got to keep the ring if she had gone ahead with her engagement to Ed Swiderski but the news is that they’ve split and so back goes the ring to the sponsors. The two were engaged for a year and a month but the rules are that they have to stay engaged for two whole years if they want to keep the ring.
The engagement ring which was a Neil Lane designer ring has a pear shaped diamond weighing 2.6 carats at the centre and this diamond is surrounded by six baguette diamonds and accented with ninety four round cut diamonds. So once again, it becomes the property of ABC which sponsors this reality show.
Ed Swiderski is a technology consultant from Chicago and apparently he went down on one knee and proposed to Jillian with the ring. However, the reports say that the two have had their differences and Jillian is moving out and going to be with her parents. Unfortunately, this is one more failure for the reality show which has had just two successful engagements in twenty shows.

Diamond Engagement Ring On Belinda Lee’s Finger

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Famous Singapore actress Belinda Lee was seen sporting a huge diamond engagement ring on her finger and looking very happy. She was seen at the opening of a hospice and she couldn’t wait to share the news about her engagement with the world. Obviously people were asking when they saw the gorgeous diamond ring on her finger.

She and her fiancé who she refers to as Mr lee have been together for a while but Belinda was always scared of marriage because she had seen too many of them falling apart around her. She wanted it to be for always because she does not believe in divorce. Which is why she kept refusing Mr. Lee.

So what made her say Yes? Apparently this time when he asked her, he said he wanted to continue doting on her and that’s when she realised that she should accept or maybe he would stop asking her and she would lose the most important person in her life. So they’re engaged and it looks like wedding preparations will begin soon.

Tiffany And The New Engagement Ring iPhone App

Monday, June 14th, 2010

From today, all iPhone users can download a new app which lets you browse through engagement ring styles, help you find your ring finger size and look through all the diamond cuts and shapes. If you see something you like, you save it and then share in on your favourite social networking site.

Now this is a case of tradition keeping pace with technology. It’s also a great way for a girl to hint to the guy about the kind of engagement ring she would like. Of course, this could backfire if the guy is not interested in getting married but if he were, think of the relief if he could get a peek into what you might like, not to mention the ring size. All he needs to do even if he wants it to be a surprise is to put one of your rings onto the iPhone screen and he’ll know the size.

It’s a great new app and one cannot help thinking just how ubiquitous the mobile phone has become in our life. Even choosing an engagement ring becomes so much easier now!

Sex And The City 2 Dazzles With A 5-Carat Black Diamond Ring

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Nothing ordinary will do for Carrie Bradshaw – that’s the character that Sarah Jessica Parker played in the hugely popular American TV series Sex and the City which was made into a film. The first movie ended with an engagement ring – Carrie got engaged with a huge diamond encrusted ring. Now, in the sequel, it just had to go a bit further when it came to bling. This one has her in a black diamond ring – all of 5 carats at that! That’s what Big her boyfriend gives her and all because he feels she is worth it.

The diamond ring was designed by Itay Malkin and apparently the film director as well as Sarah Jessica Parker looked through at least twenty designers’ rings before they decided on Malkin. They actually chose one out of two rings that Malkin had given in anonymously. This ring is set in 18 carat white gold and has eighty colourless pave diamonds surrounding the 5-carat black diamond. The good news is, there will be a limited edition replica range out soon which will be available through Malkin or in select sites online.

There is a lot of jewellery on display in this sequel and all the characters sizzle with fashionable jewellery. Why should it be otherwise when they are all fashionable women of the world? So there are plenty of diamonds flashing in the film – from diamond rings to bracelets to pendants. The film just opened and it was at the No 2 spot.

Perfect Pitcher Gets Fabulous Diamond Ring

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Dallas Braden of the Athletics baseball team in the USA was presented with a ring that literally blazed with diamonds. His team gave it to him and it had 51 diamonds in the middle – that was because his number is 51 and it had 37 diamonds circling them – that was for the outs he had this season. Now a diamond ring like that must be everyone’s dream.

Apparently the team also presented his grandmother with a diamond pendant and it was she who started off the game with the first pitch. For someone to have 19 perfect games in a row is never easy – in fact, people might say it was almost impossible but Dallas did it and maybe that’s why the team felt he was well worth the diamond ring!
