There have been many rumors circulating about Derek Jeter and his love life throughout his career. One of the rumors that just wouldn’t die was that his relationship with Minka Kelly was more serious than they let on. The talk about him giving her an engagement ring has been swirling since August ‘09. According the the New York Post, they have officially confirmed the rumors and have already set a date!! The famous Yankee’s shortstop would never jeopordize his availability to play in the World Series, so they have set the wedding to fall two days after the last game of the series would be played. November 5, 2010 is the fateful day when Jeter officially denounces his bachelorhood.
What a team player, to not let his personal life get in the way of another Yankee Series opportunity. I also think he is being hopeful of the fact they will not need all 7 games to win the series, otherwise his wedding will directly conflict with the parade. I’m sure the whole team will be invited to witness them exchanging wedding bands.
It has been revealed that the wedding will be held at the same castle in Long Island as Kevin Jonas has just had his wedding recently. I wonder if the venue will change now that is has leaked. Otherwise, they may have another Braniston wedding fiasco with helicopters hovering to get that million dollar shot.
The bride-to-be is the daughter of guitarist Rick Dufay of Aerosmith, and she is an actress for both TV and film. No diamond engagement ring pictures have surfaced yet, but I am sure she will start wearing it now that the cat is out of the bag. I wonder what designer engagement ring Derek chose for his lucky lady, was it a Ritani ring perhaps?

While performing solo at the Wasted Space nightclub in the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel, AJ McLean proposed to his girlfriend Rochelle in the middle of his show on stage! He had pulled out the ring from his pocket and got down on one knee to present her with the diamond engagement ring. She happily accepted with a hug right then. It turns out it was AJ’s 32nd birthday the following day and they had much to celebrate that night. AJ had purchased the diamond engagement ring at Rocks in the hotel before he went on stage that night.
I don’t know if it was a spur of the moment decision or he just wanted to surprise everyone, but the band and his now fianceé were very surprised and happy when it happened. He had said to band members that he intended to ask her to marry him but never said when. I guess this was a great way to also announce it to the world!
This looks like it’s going to be a great year for AJ as he is also awaiting the release of a Backstreet Boys Best Of CD at the end of this month.

While vacationing in Jaipur, India (as a Christmas gift to her) Russell proposed marriage to Katy and she accepted. There were rumors circulating before the holidays, but both parties’ PR people have confirmed the engagement on Wednesday. Katy had mentioned to Russell how much she loved the Indian culture so he thought it was the perfect surprise getaway and opportunity to pop the question.
While they were touring the city, they stopped by the Taj Mahal and She Tweeted “He built this for me.” She then likened herself to Alanis Morrisette in the “Thank You” video saying “So when do I start walking the streets naked singing that Alanis song?” How exciting, and what a place to give your special girl an engagement ring!
What a great story about two love crazy people who really feel like they have found their true match! I wish them happiness and longevity for a lifetime together, and to overcome the strife that the stars must endure when dating someone who is also famous.
Still no pictures of the ring, but I will keep an eye out. I am really interested in the type of designer engagement ring Russell chose for Katy. It has to be stunning to be worn by an already stunning lady!

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!

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.

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!

Recently, Miley Cyrus went to the movie with Justin Gaston. She was seen wearing what TMZ reported to be a promise ring. Not that there is anything wrong with wearing a promise ring, but a RITANI ring would look absolutely stunning on the teen queen. Hopefully in a few years when Miley settles down she would consider one the timeless pieces by RITANI to really make that finger dazzle.
Although RITANI does not offer any promise rings, they do have a wide variety of ENGAGEMENT RINGS.
Hey Miley, if you happen to be reading this, feel free to let us know if you are ever in the market for an absolutely exquisite engagement ring and we can create something breathtaking for you!

Come see what all the chatter is about.
Back in the day, most engagement rings were made of non-diamond material. Other precious stones, such as sapphires, emeralds and rubies were very popular choices. While those gemstones are beautiful and colorful, diamonds remain the constant popular and most beloved stone to be the centerpiece of an engagement rings. So why should you buy a diamond engagement ring?
1. Diamonds are the hardest natural substance. They are a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. (the scale that is used to measure the relative hardness of gemstones.) Sapphires rank at a 9 on the Mohs scale, and while they are considered a durable and wearable stone as well, the difference in hardness between a 9 and a 10 is actually tenfold! For a ring that will be worn on a daily basis, you want the most durable stone that money can buy.
2. They reflect a TON of light. While colored gemstones can be faceted like diamonds, the deep color prevents the flash and dispersion of light that a diamond can produce. You want to buy a ring that will be noticed from across a crowded room.
3. They are available at many different price points. Think you can’t afford to buy a diamond? Think again. Since diamonds are graded on a scale according to the 4 Cs, there are a lot of factors that can affect the cost of a particular diamond. Most diamond and bridal retailers will offer tutorials on how to get the most bang for your buck. So take a little bit of time to do some research before you buy—you may be surprised to learn what you can afford.
4. They are available in many different shapes. When most people think of diamonds, they probably picture a round brilliant. While that may be the most popular shape for a diamond by far, keep in mind that diamonds can be cut into almost any shape imaginable. Princess, oval, marquise, pear and emerald are just a few that may be interesting to look at if you do not want your engagement ring to look like everyone else’s.
As you can see, there are many great reasons to purchase a diamond engagement ring. The most important thing is to do you research, shop around and have a great time picking out an engagement ring. This is a memorable purchase, so make sure you are armed with the facts to make your experience as rewarding as possible. Good luck!
