Set Her Heart on FIRE!

June 30th, 2009

What better night to be proposed to than under a sky that is as explosive as the feelings you have for your love.  The Fourth of July can be just as romantic as Valentine’s Day, so why not plan your engagement then.  Imagine sitting under the stars admiring a beautiful fireworks display and be surprised with something more beautiful and sparkly then the lights flashing around you.  While highlighting the heart of summer you can celebrate your love on a night that is as full of energy and light as your hearts are for each other.

Engagement rings can be an amazing token of the everlasting love you feel for each other and the day you get it is just as special.  Every girl imagines a proposal that sweeps her off her feet and makes her say “Yes” without hesitation.  Plan the event to reflect the emotion you have for her and she will never forget it.  Fireworks and diamond engagement rings both shine a light that can capture intense emotions, so don’t forget to plan your day to be remembered and relived through story for a lifetime.  Begin your endeavor by choosing an engagement ring, next are wedding bands, and the list goes on at RITANI: Where It All Begins.

RITANI’S NEW ANADARE COLLECTION ADDS A ‘TWIST’ TO ENGAGEMENT RINGS

June 17th, 2009

PRESS RELEASE - New York, NY (June 16, 2009) –  Ritani, America’s premier engagement ring and bridal, fine jewelry designer, officially launched its newest bridal jewelry collection, Anadaré, at the JCK Show in June. Praised for its exquisite Endless Love™ collection, Ritani setting, Bella Vita collection, Romantique ™ collection and other unique engagement ring designs, Ritani received an overwhelmingly positive response from retail jewelers nationwide for the new Anadaré line.

Derived from an Italian word meaning “to tie”, Anadaré represents the moment when two individuals fall in love, their hearts coming together or intertwining as one, symbolizing their unity. This concept is visualized in Anadaré’s signature double-helix shape design. From the twist in the polished shanks to the precision set pave, this collection will forever stand alone.

“We’re especially excited about the launch of our newest bridal line as Spring tends to a very popular time for engagements and thus, our retail partners will have something new and exciting to show to their customers in store,” said Joel Klein of Ritani. “And, with one of this year’s trends in engagement rings being ‘Twisted Bands,’ retailers can be sure lovebirds everywhere will be flocking in for our Anadaré engagement ring designs.” (According to theknot.com, “Designers have opted to put a little more swing in their rings. From swirling diamond bands to more streamlined metal twists, we’re enamored with this smooth move.”–  http://wedding.theknot.com/getting-engaged/engagement-rings/articles/6-engagement-ring-trends.aspx?MsdVisit=1)

For over a decade, Ritani has been re-imagining bridal jewelry and specifically, meticulously designed engagement rings for a more modern, discerning consumer: one who seeks uniqueness and quality, yet clearly appreciates the tradition of jewelry as a symbol of timeless love. Only the finest materials are utilized in combination with artisanal craftsmanship to create diamond, platinum, 18K gold and palladium jewelry by Ritani.

New Trend in Wedding Proposals: When SHE Pops the Question!

June 16th, 2009

Jennifer Hudson Proposes to Beau

Jennifer Hudson Proposes to Beau

Jennifer Hudson has turned the tables on the traditional wedding proposal. She’s had a ring designed for her lawyer-turned-wrestler beau, and presented it to him as she asked for his hand in marriage. This is indicative of the leaps women have made over the years, and the days of “ladies in waiting” have proven to be an out-dated concept.

It’s 2009 and there is no question that women are making their own impact in the world. We have found our way into numerous arenas previously only associated with men. So hearing about a woman proposing to her man should be no exception. There has been a growing trend of women assuming the duty of proposing engagement to their significant others. This role-reversal was bound to happen with the rise of ladies in the drivers’ seat heading major corporations, getting on the presidential ballot, and having a crack at professional sports previously only a male opportunity.

The variety of men’s bands has also grown recently, making it easier to find the right ring to reflect your guy’s style. Forget about the old plain gold bands of your grandfathers’ time. The designer jewelry market has found a demand for unique, beautifully crafted men’s wedding bands.

There are still classic options as well as modern styles to choose from, which can make the proposal to your beau truly unforgettable. RITANI has expanded their men’s band line in both Modern and Classic design styles to accommodate the various tastes of today’s man. Whether he likes simplicity or edgy designs you will find there are many to choose from in the RITANI men’s ring collection.

Shopping for your OWN Engagement Ring!

Kim Kardashian says she’s just saving time and stress -  by shopping for her OWN engagement ring.  “It’s just easier,” Kardashian says.  She has filled her sisters in on what she has in mind for her fiancee-to-be, Reggie Bush, to give to her when he pops the question.  This has been a growing trend, and a lifesaver, for today’s pre-engaged man struggling to find the perfect ring for his love.

If you think your man might be dropping the hint that you’ll be getting engaged, you start to go through the details of the proposal.  You want the event to be perfect, from the place it occurs to the engagement ring.  Like most women, I would love to think that my man knows me well enough to choose an engagement ring for me.  Realistically, that may not be the case.  An engagement ring is something you will have forever, and should be reflective of the woman who wears it.  Trying to make this experience as pleasant as possible should be the goal, so both of you are focused on what matters, your future together.

How does this happen without spoiling the spontaneity and romance?  If you know that the two of you are on the road to marriage then he won’t worry about you saying “No”, he’ll just want you to say “WOW!”  One way for him to see you respond this way is for him to really consider your taste in jewelry.  What style of enagement ring will make you melt and fall in love all over again?  This is a very big decision, and one you won’t want him to make on a whim.  A great way he can get some help, if you’re not sure if he has any clue about your style, is if he talks to someone close to you.  Maybe your mom, sister, or best friend can help steer him in the right direction.  A fool-proof way to make sure he isn’t being led astray is to drop some hints of your own to the people he may enlist for help.

Start doing a little window shopping or web surfing to see the various styles and diamond cuts that are out there.  With so many to choose from it may be little overwhelming, just think how your fiancee-to-be feels like.  I have found that selecting a few options and getting some feedback from trusted friends and family can help you to narrow it down.

RITANI, an innovative designer in bridal jewelry, has created a way for you to compile your choices of their products into a poll.  This is incredibly useful and easy to send by email to get quick responses which can help in your pursuit of the perfect engagement ring.  Try this out and I think you will be assured a great selection, and your man will appreciate your help without knowing you did anything at all.

The Bachelorette Jillian Harris, A Rose Ceremony, A Girlfriend at Home, and an Engagement Ring? Pure Entertainment!

June 15th, 2009


There are lots of twists and turns for us in this season of the Bachelorette. Just when you thought the girls from the Bachelor had brought drama to the table, NOTHING compares to the guys from this season of the Bachelorette!

The show adds even more drama, now that someone might have a girlfriend at home! Well who is it? Is it just a rumor to drive a wedge between Jillian and the other Bachelors, or is it true? If it is true, then who do you think it is? I have to assume that someone has a girlfriend that they are thinking about giving an engagement ring to back home, but would someone really go on national TV and embarrass themselves, Jillian, and their girlfriend like that? Maybe…

David is gone… Mike is gone…. Juan is gone…. Brad is gone…. Tanner F is gone…. Sasha is gone…
We already know that Wes is infatuated with his singing career… Is it Wes? Maybe…

There are still a bunch of really good guys left! I can’t wait to see the next Rose Ceremony.

We know that Jillian will make someone very happy, and an engagement ring from the right guy is the only way for the season to end. We’ll see more tonight!

Reality TV and True Love! Are these Engagement stories the Real Deal?

June 12th, 2009

I watched the last episode of a relatively popular Reality TV Show which takes place from season to season in very remote locations across the globe. It’s actually a very cool show, and from the performer’s point of view the show only lasts roughly about a month. But as I was saying, at the end of this particular season one of the male performers dropped and popped the question to one of the female performers at which point she readily accepted his offer all ‘agush’ in smiles and ‘adrip’ in tears of joy!

Uhmmmmmmm, WHAT?!! After only a Month! They only knew each other ONE WHOLE DINKY LITTLE MONTH!

True love you ask? An honest engagement you query? Well, it sure did turn out to be just that, because two years later they got married and they are still together to this day. So ladies and gentlemen I guess the point I am trying to get at is that it really doesn’t matter how long you know that special person in your life, when it’s right– it’s right! And when it is right where can you go to find the engagement ring that says everything and even more than he will ever be able to express in word or deed? Frankly there is only one place that offers the finest selection of designer engagement rings and wedding bands and that is at www.ritani.com. Visit the RITANI website and browse through our various collections. When you find something that you like click on the retailer tab to find a local dealer in your area.

You may not have met each other on the set of some hit TV show, but you directed your True Love story and now you have something unique and incredible, let RITANI help to make it a sweet REALITY!

If you are going to leash the Big Dog you better give him a NICE COLLAR! I’m talking about Men’s Wedding Bands!

Men's Wedding Bands Classic and Modern

Most guys probably won’t admit that they are too concerned about the style and look of their wedding band. In fact, it goes without saying that jewelry whether it is bridal or fashion has predominantly been a woman’s thing. But should it really be that way? Let’s face it the typical guy will make certain that the clothes he buys reflect his unique taste for style and design, and since every guy is different in that respect it is surprising then that so many men, when they get married, settle for a boring, no frills, plain as plain wedding band

What happened to that stylistic sense of uniqueness? It goes back to what I said earlier about guys not being overly concerned about the type of wedding band they wear, but they are. Granted some guys truly don’t care but does that mean they have to settle for boring? No, and this is where the woman in his life has the unique opportunity to slip in and show him how a men’s designer wedding band can improve his stylistic appearance and give him the additional confidence that he needs. The best part is that he will carry it with him for the rest of his life.

Where can you find the perfect band for the man in your life? The Men’s wedding band collection by RITANI at http://www.ritani.com/products/category/15 has something for every man’s unique and distinct personality. After all he is the Big Dog, shouldn’t he stand apart from the pack?
