Not Husband’s Wedding Ring, Says Widow

Monday, August 30th, 2010

A widow in Derbyshire is devastated that after the death of her husband, a jewellery store in Birmingham cheated her. She gave them his wedding ring and signet rings as well as some other old jewellery to have lockets made for their two daughters and thought nothing of it when they were given the lockets. These lockets were meant to be Christmas presents for the girls so they could each have a piece of something their father owned.

Her husband passed away two years ago and she thought it would be a great idea to do this for her daughters and she trusted the jewellers so she asked them to melt down the gold and make it into lockets. All was well till months later when one of the girls spotted an identical locket in another shop and realised that the jewellery store had cheated them and just replaced the gold with standard and not hand-made lockets like they were asked to do.

The city council is investigating and one hopes that they can trace the original gold so the widow and her girls can have the satisfaction of wearing a part of their father’s ring. To date, the store hasn’t commented.

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 ¾ carat while the two smaller diamonds she used are ½ 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.

So when he lost it again when he was scuba diving in Lake Michigan, he didn’t think he could be so lucky as to find it again, considering the place he lost it was at least ten feet deep. But another diver found it and all it said inside was the date of the wedding and his wife’s name. The person who found it was persistent and with the help of the county clerk’s office, they managed to trace Michael.

Michaels and his wife have been married for 24 years and what a relief it must have been to get that wedding ring back again. Now that’s what we call real good luck and we’re hoping he won’t have to find out of he will be third time lucky too!

Do Fake Wedding Rings Help With Unwanted Attentions?

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Many women tend to feel that a wedding ring on the finger is a deterrent for men when they want to flirt aggressively. Is this really true? This belief has led many young women to wear a wedding ring to protect themselves from aggressive men who cannot take No for an answer.

There’s a ring manufacturer in Seattle USA who seems to be capitalising on this idea and selling fake wedding rings for a song. According to her, there are so many women that are hit on and this seems to be a great way to keep those horrible men at bay. Ever since she opened shop – the company is called Ms Taken – she says that she has sold so many wedding rings that are fake. The strange thing is, more men than women seem to be buying it - for their girlfriends no doubt!

The company even advertises on YouTube and while these rings are no substitute for the real thing, it looks like there is some use for the products they sell. One wonders however, if the men are so concerned, why don’t they just marry the woman in question with a real wedding ring? And does a fake wedding ring really keep away the men who are aggressive and pester a woman no matter what? It might just keep away the ones who could be seriously interested in the woman!

Alicia Keys Wanted Wedding Ring, Not Diamonds

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Alicia Keys got what she wanted on the 31st of July when rapper Swizz Beatz slipped a wedding ring onto her ring finger. They had a very private wedding ceremony and it was away from the media glare what with everyone being focussed on what was happening at the Clinton wedding on the same day.

Alicia Keys is expecting the couple’s first baby and she and Swizz Beatz have been friends a long time as well as worked together. The wedding took a lot of people by surprise especially as Swizz had, just a week ago, denied that they were going to get married soon. There were also rumours after Keys and her manager parted ways that Swizz would take over that role, which he had emphatically denied.

Alicia, say sources, looked very lovely in a Vera Wang gown which was designed in a Grecian one-shoulder fashion. The wedding was held in Corsica with the Mediterranean as the backdrop with their close friend Deepak Chopra officiating. There has been a lot of negative publicity with Swizz divorcing his wife in May, announcing that Alicia was pregnant with his child and then getting married so quickly.

Man Pays For Thinking Diamond Ring A Fake

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

It happened in China – it actually did. A lady named Wang lost her diamond wedding ring at a parking lot. This happened in the Fengtai district in China. Zhang found the ring but threw it away thinking that it must be a fake ring. Little did he know just how much that simple action was going to cost him.

The owner of the ring obviously looked for the ring and couldn’t find it and when she heard that Zhang had found her ring and had thrown it away, she went to court. According to the Beijing News, just that careless and unknowing action cost Zhang 46,000 yuan and he had to pay up to keep the diamond wedding ring owner happy.

The thing is, he did it out of ignorance. So many real diamonds look like imitations and if you are not well read up on gems, it is easy enough to make a mistake. So if he thought that it was a fake, why should he have kept it? Wasn’t it rather unjust that he had to pay just because his knowledge of diamonds and jewellery was lacking?

It looks like the famous Liz Taylor is at it again, doing what she does best – hogging the headlines with news of yet another wedding in the offing. This is going to be the ninth time for her if she does get married. While official spokespeople deny that anything is in the offing, reliable sources say that she is getting married and that preparations are on. It looks like the event is going to be at the end of the year.

The lucky man, if you can call him that, is Jason Winters who is not yet fifty while she will soon be eighty. However, he’s been managing her affairs for a while now and it looks like they are very close. In fact, they seem to have kept quiet about how close they are even though they have been seen together on the red carpet of many events together.

Sources say that a bejewelled turban is being made for the wedding and it is going to be studded with diamonds. Jeweller Christian Tse and designer Keith Holman are supposed to be working to get it ready. No one knows the location yet but everyone’s talking and waiting excitedly to see how it all unfolds.
