Well, apparently everyone has had the same exclamation about Carrie Underwood’s engagement ring. It is said that her engagement ring weighs in at 12 carats, and that’s just the center stone!! The designer has not been mentioned but the value is estimated at around $1.3 Million. She is one special girl to have gotten such a fabulous diamond engagement ring.
Congratulations to the newest engaged celebrity couple!

While attending a hockey game her fiancé Mike Fisher of the Ottawa Senators was playing in, Carrie Underwood was showing off her diamond engagement ring. Mike had proposed to Carrie on Sunday evening after they had dated for a year. The couple is very excited about this new step in their future together. They were very private about their relationship, and considering the lyrics to at least one of her songs it didn’t seem that she was even involved. Now that their relationship is public, people have connected the dots in regards to some of her other songs lyrics. Carrie referred to their romance in the liner notes of her latest album ‘Play On.’ “I love you so much!” she wrote to Fisher. “You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day.”
Mark is a very lucky guy to have gotten together with such a special girl. I hope this relationship can stand the pressures of Hollywood and keep it real for their own happiness. Good luck to the happy couple!!! The wedding date has not been announced yet, but i’ll keep you posted!!!

The lovebirds held the wedding ceremony in Long Island, NY in a castle with 400 guests present. After Kevin gave Danielle an engagement ring over the summer they started to plan a fairy-tale forest themed wedding with 14 foot trees and crystal icicles. The weather only enhanced the theme by adding in the REAL snowy backdrop.
The grooms two brothers served as the best men whom held on to the wedding rings until it was time for the couple to say their vows. This new wedding band Kevin received is replacing a “purity” ring he had worn until then, where he had vowed to stay pure until marriage. While Danielle wore a silk and crystal flower in here hair as a reminder of how the two had first met in the Bahamas.
Kevin and Danielle have begun their “Happily Ever After” story, this is because Kevin has said to have found his “princess”. The two exchanged wedding bands they designed for each other along with the traditional wedding vows.

As the year comes to a close many companies and newsies are creating Top 10 or Top 50 lists of the year for various industries and trends. As these lists were compiled RITANI has been noted and given some great press about their line.
INDESIGN magazine, a trade book for the jewelry community, has mentioned RITANI as # 16 of the Americas Top 50 Most Visible Jewelry Brands of 2009. RITANI has really gotten their brand out there this year with multiple ads being featured in publications like ELLE, Marie Claire, and InStyle to name a few. ELLE Magazine in particular has featured RITANI in 8 out of their 12 Issues. Even with the difficult times that brands have had to endure this year, RITANI has stayed abreast of their advertising, as it’s necessary to stay current to keep afloat.
United Brands LLC out of Beverly Hills, CA has put together their rankings of the jewelry, watch and diamond brands. RITANI has been named # 10 of the Top 10 Jewelry Brands in the bridal category. That is just another example of how relevant this company is in the cutting edge world of diamond engagement rings and jewelry. In my opinion this is a great honor considering Beverly Hills is about the highest echelon in the market of luxury goods, and I see it as a great recognition for the company and the brand.

They’ve managed to keep the majority of their ROM-ance under wraps, but earlier this month Candice Crawford was seen wearing an engagement ring, so it seemed, from her football hero Tony Romo. During a recent Dallas Cowboys game, the former Miss Missouri USA displayed what looked to be a very important piece of jewelry.
Candice is a sports reporter and hosts the Cowboys’ weekend sports show, Special Edition. Romo play’s for the Dallas Cowboys, but may be equally as famous for dating Jessica Simpson for a time. They also had engagement rumors flying about but I think he didn’t go through with it because she seemed to be a “bad” luck charm when he’s on the field.
I saw the picture of the ring she is wearing, and it looks more like a promise ring than an engagement ring. I hope it is anyways, as it is in no way reflective of the millions of dollars he has earned. I would like to say that when the time comes he will buy her or the lucky lady a proper diamond engagement ring, instead of what looks like a band with a couple of rows of some not so flashy diamond chips. Web resolution as it is I could be wrong, but I will keep tabs on this story to see if this is truly a celebrity engagement.

The pop star Katy Perry has been seen with Russell Brand quite a lot since they met on the VMA’s this October. The two have been spotted all over Hollywood and London together, at the usual celebrity hot spots. This weekend in London Russell was seen shopping at a famous designers‘ shop looking at diamond engagement rings. One on-looker noticed Russell’s attention for a large square cut diamond ring and seemed to be deep in thought in regards to it.
I think this is a very interesting love match and maybe a great one at that. She is very fun loving and high spirited which seems to have given Russell a new outlook on his life. He has admittedly been a womanizer until he met Katy. He has recently met Katy’s parents and they actually seem to approve of him for their daughter.
Sorry guys, if this is true, another beauty is off the market. We will have to wait and see how this pans out, hopefully by the New Year we will have an official announcement. I’ll keep you posted, with photos of the engagement ring hopefully.

A lot of people like to know what celebrities wear and what they get on their engagements. Many jewelry makers from different countries produce celebrity inspired engagement rings for ordinary people to enjoy and cherish. You will find tons of options in this category with rings ranging in price from $100 to $5000 and even more.

Katie Holmes was presented with an Edwardian style ring by Tom Cruise which cost over 1.5 million dollars. It is a 5-carat diamond ring in oval shape set in platinum and rose gold.

One of the most unusual and extremely beautiful celebrity diamond engagement ringsis the one received by Jessica Simpson. This ring is designed with two side stones and a center stone which is pear shaped set in platinum. The diamonds used on this ring weigh around 3.5 carats and have internally flawless clarity. These types of diamonds are rare and very expensive. Kate Hudson’s art deco style ring with 5-carat asscher cut center diamond and small pave set diamonds on the sides is gorgeous. Kate Walsh inspired CZ ring is also available out there with a similar design.

Usually less expensive stones or diamond stimulants like moissanite and CZ are used on these rings to make them affordable for ordinary people. In place of platinum, 14k or 18k white gold is used.

In the new millennium, we have evolved in our social networking with a virtual approach, with Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Crazy stunts and theme weddings have become a give-in for many. Possibly they do it for the chance to be immortalized on the internet and create a viral sensation. Whatever floats their boat right? They have had months of planning and now it’s time to just have fun!
YouTube has a new hit in the wedding genre, and it really reflects the times we are living in. Picture a groom, named Dana Hanna, at the altar in his tuxedo, standing next to his bride, Tracy, as they complete their vows and exchange rings in front of the minister. So far seems like a normal wedding ceremony, right? Until Dana pulls out his cellphone to change his relationship status on Facebook to ‘married’ right there at the altar. The groom, knowing his bride would be surprised, had her phone ready for her to do the same.
She had no idea this was going to happen, as the groom only included the minister in the plan. He says that they have a lot of family scattered about the country that couldn’t attend the wedding, so he wanted to make sure they were up to the minute. The minister, being aware of this trend many have adopted as a staple in their day-to day lives, was more than happy to play along. He added, after the couple were done updating their status’, “If it’s official on Facebook, it’s official in my book”.
While this stunt went over well this time, we wouldn’t recommend everybody to try it. It takes a special person to find this funny and play along, too. Dana is a lucky man to have such an easygoing woman like Tracy. Good luck to this modern couple, with many more fun times ahead!

Although rumors were flying over the summer that the daughter of former president Clinton was already engaged, Chelsea has officially announced her engagement to a banker, who is the son of former Iowa and Pennsylvania Representatives, Marc Mezvinsky.
On Thanksgiving weekend they sent out a mass email to their friends and family wishing them a Happy Belated Turkey Day as well as informing them of their recent engagement. Possibly Marc proposed to Chelsea on Thanksgiving with their families present.
From School Mates to Life Mates...
The couple have known each other for quite sometime, while she was still living in the White House, Marc’s parents were active politicians and were acquainted with the Clinton’s. Chelsea then reunited with Marc when they both attended Stanford University.
Fate has it in this case that these two were meant to be. Just to ensure the good luck to come in this union the couple has gotten the blessing from her dad Bill. He has great things to say about Marc, including that “He’s a great human being.” How wonderful for the Clinton’s and the Mezvinsky’s to have such an organic union of their families.
The big day is set to happen next summer and I can’t wait to see the pictures from that event. I also really want to see the engagement ring Marc gave Chelsea, it must be impressive as she is worth it!
