Diamond Engagement Rings Specialist

Lena Paahlsson lost her wedding ring sixteen years ago and even though she looked high and low for it, she hadn’t found it. It was Christmas time and this lady from Sweden had taken off her wedding ring and put it on the counter in the kitchen before she started to bake all the Christmas goodies with her daughters. However, the ring disappeared and they searched everywhere, even pulling up the floorboards but it was all in vain.
The family lives on a farm in the northern part of Sweden and hers was a white gold wedding ring. She had given up all hopes of finding the ring but because they lived away from any place where thieves could have stolen it, it remained a mystery that wasn’t to be solved till a couple of months ago.
The wedding ring came up when she was pulling carrots up from her vegetable garden and she saw that one of the carrots had grown around the ring. What a pleasant surprise that must have been! The mystery is, how did that ring find its way into the garden? The explanation could be that the ring had somehow fallen into the sink and it must have got mixed up with the peels that went into composting the vegetable garden or feeding the sheep. Whichever it was, that ring fell into the garden patch and it had been there, waiting to make its appearance someday. What a lucky carrot that was, to grow through the wedding ring and bring it out again to cheer up the lady. The ring doesn’t fit her now but she’s so thrilled, she is going to have it resized and put back on her finger where it belongs.

According to a jeweller, the tracking of recent jewellery sales has revealed that what are trending really well are rose gold and diamonds that are chocolate or canary coloured. Suddenly, there seems to be a very strong and rising interest in diamond rings that are different – from the colour of the metal used to the colour of the diamonds. Of course, what remains constant is the fact that people still want gold and they still want diamonds when it comes to diamonds rings. However, they want a diamond ring that is different and they are willing to pay more – maybe even a lot more – for it.

Why rose gold? Are platinum and white gold losing their sheen or is it just a fashion statement to have a different colour metal for a ring? Whatever it is, rose gold seems to be the flavour of the season together with diamonds that are brown or yellow – or to give them their fancy names – chocolate or canary diamonds. Diamond engagement rings with these combinations seem to be really popular and the women seem to love the unique and different look, while still feeling good that they are wearing diamonds – after all, in a woman’s mind, they are forever. The brown diamonds dazzle with a rich colour and the yellow ones sparkle with brilliance. It isn’t as thought people only choose rose gold as a setting as some prefer white gold but the trending seems to show more and more rose gold choices than before. This seems to extend to other jewellery like earrings, necklaces and wedding bands too.

The kind of diamonds that were the most popular are the round ones and the princess cut diamonds. The designs also seem to be getting more intricate and artistic. It looks like people are spending a lot of time deciding on what kind of jewellery they want. Is the shifting trend just a passing one or will it be around for a while? In the fickle changing world of fashion, one never knows. What one can say, however is that gold and diamonds – in whatever hue – are going to be around for a long, long time.

Walking home through the park at 3.30 in the afternoon is not the time when anyone feels unsafe and Rachel Briggs, twenty eight years old and married for a year definitely didn’t think so. It happened in Wensum Park in Norwich and little did she think that she was in danger of being mugged in broad daylight. However, that’s what happened and she says she never expected it to.

She was walking along when a white male wearing black trousers and a black hood and speaking in a local accent accosted her and asked her to hand over her bag. She thought as it was daytime, she could just keep walking and he wouldn’t dare do anything. She was wrong because he then hit her on her face and grabbed her bag while she fell on some steps and hit her head. Besides her purse, he also got her mobile phone and both her wedding ring as well as her engagement ring. Her wedding ring was white gold and so was her engagement ring which had five stones in a row. He also took a silver ring with a turquoise stone which she was wearing.

All she saw of him was that he had a pointed nose and she says his breath smelt stale and bitter. He was young, in his twenties and a couple of inches under six feet tall. She doesn’t remember much till she got home to her husband and her sister at home and they feel that she must have been unconscious for a while. She can’t think how she got home but she assumes she must have walked. She hopes that anyone who witnessed the theft will come forward and tell the police what they saw. There must have been many people around and she feels terrible that something like this could happen to someone in the middle of the day. She says it has changed her outlook on life and she feels so violated.

What is the most popular metal for wedding rings? A survey that was done by a store recently had some very interesting findings that popped up. Apparently, Greater Manchester people prefer white gold while people in London prefer platinum. And in Cambridge, the most popular metal is yellow gold. The study shows that from an overview, it looks like the most popular metal in the UK is white gold while coming second is platinum and then yellow gold.
For those who feel that platinum is the ruling metal today for engagement rings and wedding rings, this might come as a bit of an eye-opener. When did white gold creep into first place? And does the place you are from really have so much to do with the metal you pick? Looks that way from the survey. Considering that for years, yellow gold was a given for wedding rings, maybe the time had come for a move away for it. However, maybe tradition does play a big part so while people might move away, they still want it to be gold when it comes to wedding rings. Whatever the reason, this seems to be the trend today.
Wedding rings are so important because it means rings for both the man and his bride. While the engagement ring is all about the woman, wedding rings have something that say ‘couple’ about them. The trend today is to have matching wedding rings whenever possible and when it means wedding rings for both the man and the woman, maybe white gold makes perfect sense. The tradition of gold and yet it looks different – something that both men and women could be comfortable in.

A bride-to-be from Carlisle is so upset because her engagement ring is missing. She’s looked all over and is really despondent that she cannot find it. She feels that it probably slipped off her finger when she took her dogs for a walk. It was very cold and she probably did not feel it slipping off because her hands were so numb.

Kate lives on Milbourne Street and she has since retraced her steps so many times, looking for the ring with her fiancé. The engagement ring is a small diamond set in white gold and they got engaged last August and hope to get married early next year. The ring has always been on her finger and somehow the loss seems to have affected Kate’s festive season mood really badly. Natural, we suppose.

She’s hoping that with a bit of media publicity that some kind soul will find the ring and return it to her and she will give them a small reward. We do hope she does find it. So many happy ending stories go around about lost and found rings and we do hope hers is one of them.

He was in the news four years ago when he was begging and some generous soul dropped a solitaire diamond ring into his bowl. The diamond was set in a white gold band and it was valued at £500. He didn’t even know when the person had dropped it and it was only when he was counting his coins that he realised that there was a diamond ring among them.

The police tried to find out who it was and they did manage to find that a man had gone to a jewellery store close by to sell the ring and when they didn’t buy it, he dropped it into the begging bowl. The police waited a month, just in case the man reported it lost or wanted it back and then the beggar was allowed to keep it.

He gave it to his daughter who still has the ring. Then, in June this year, he was diagnosed with cancer and given three months to live but he stayed alive till Christmas, spent it with his daughter and grandchildren and then died. He was known all over the neighbourhood because he played a tin whistle. He was, according to his daughter, very positive and he would not let even the cancer get him down.

We’ve heard of stories where the man proposes and maybe it’s just nerves but he drops the engagement ring. One would think that after spending so much on a diamond ring, men would think twice before proposing in places where the ring could fall and get lost. However, a proposal somehow makes a man less practical than he usually is and here’s another story to illustrate just that point.

A web producer took his girlfriend to the Washington pier and proposed to her and dropped the ring. It was a white gold ring with a diamond weighing ½ carat and set with a lot of tiny diamonds. He took the ring out, asked her to marry him, she said Yes and you guessed it – suddenly there was no engagement ring. It fell at her feet, she got a glimpse of it and it was gone.

Yes, they are engaged and he hopes to get her another ring after he’s saved up for it. But they haven’t lost hope yet. The diamond ring might just be on the seabed and a diver has promised to bring his friends and look for it. They would need a metal detector to scour the ocean floor. Of course, if a fish has swallowed it, that would be sad. Wish someone had told him a pier might be romantic but after the ring is firmly on the finger.

People can get so inventive when it comes to stealing jewellery. More often than not, it is the fault of the owner because they take their rings off when they want to wash their hands or apply cream and forget them behind at a hotel or a rest room. Of course, one place where they will take their rings off is at a nail salon and that is exactly where this theft happened.

A lady came into a nail salon in Beaumont, Texas, USA because she wanted to get her nails done. She took off her ring and put it on the table and after her nails had been done, she left. When she realised that she hadn’t put her ring back on, she went back but her ring had gone. The ring was her wedding ring and it was made of white gold and it was set with diamonds.

Luckily the store had video surveillance cameras and they saw that it was a black woman who took the ring and tucked it away under her leg. She was with two other women and two children and she was wearing a purple shirt which had a white collar. The police are on the look out for the woman and they hope they will be able to get the wedding diamond ring back soon.

It just puts your faith back in human nature, it does. A month ago, a lady was shopping at a superstore and she lost her wedding rings. One of them had been made to match the other as a tenth wedding anniversary present. The wedding rings were made of white gold and they were made of slender diamond bands. To her, they were priceless, even more than what they were worth because of their sentimental value.

She was so distraught that she tried everything – the news, the papers, the Internet – to appeal to anyone who might have found it, but to no avail. Then a lady found the wedding rings in the parking lot of that store and turned them in to the police. The police posted the news up on their site and asked the owner to come and collect the rings.

She can’t quite believe that anyone could be so nice as to return those rings and according to the police, she was so grateful and so touched. She vows to make the wedding rings smaller to fit her finger better so they don’t slip off again. What a wonderful way for it to end – of her being reunited with her rings.

A lady who lives in Capthorne Avenue found a wedding ring that someone had lost on Berriton Road and she’s trying her best to find out who the ring belongs to. Margaret Lunnon found the ring when she was out walking and she has made it a mission to reunite the wedding ring with the owner. She found it on the 17th of September but she and her husband were leaving for a holiday so she’s back and looking.

The ring is made of white gold and it has a stone missing. Inside the ring is an engraving that is unusual and unique. Margaret went to the Observer and told them about it as soon as she found the ring, hoping that someone would read the paper and realise whose ring it was. She hasn’t been to the police as yet because she is hopeful that the person would get to know about the ring being found through the newspaper.

Why is she going out of her way to find the owner? She says that she knows how terrible she would feel if she lost her ring and there’s someone out there who is feeling as bad so she would like to do her bit in easing that person’s loss. She hopes that the wedding ring will find its owner soon.

When Eric’s unique white gold wedding ring slipped off when he had his first surfing lesson at Doheny Beach in the US, he thought the ring was lost forever but his wife decide to put an ad on Craigslist anyway. They had very little hope of finding the ring however. The wedding ring had an inscription inside which read Love U long time.It was a good thing she did because a retired US marine and a 74 year old at that, saw the ad and decided to go looking for it. At the same time, a lady who was there with her family found the ring in between some rocks and while she was wondering how to find the owner, she ran into Al, the retired marine. So Al gave her Eric’s number and Billie called them.When Al called later, all he could hear was the excitement and the gratitude at having found the ring. Somehow, all the coincidences came together so that the unique wedding ring that held such sentimental value was returned to the owner.
