RINGing in the New Year with Celebrity Engagements – Who will make it down the aisle first?

The most popular gift for celebrity couples this Christmas was definitely the engagement ring, with high-profile couples getting engaged left and right.  After a little under a year of dating, Reece Witherspoon became engaged to her agent boyfriend, Jim Toth.  Toth presented the smitten Witherspoon with a rare and unique 4-carat Ashoka Diamond Engagement Ring set on a pave and platinum band produced by William Goldberg Diamond Corporation.  We can’t wait to see what kind of wedding band she pairs with that stunner!

Also making it official is the controversial couple of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian.  After meeting on the set of their made for TV movie, Northern Lights, the couple turned in their wedding bands, which ended their marriages, and began dating immediately.  Cibrian presented Rimes with a 5-carat Oval Diamond Engagement Ring, which also features single-cut pave diamonds and small rose-cut diamonds set uniquely in rose gold Fleur-de-Lis designs that attach to the band.  The ring was designed by Cibrian’s childhood friend, the jeweler Brent Polacheck, who received design consultations from both LeAnn and Eddie.

What a year for Natalie Portman?!  First Portman celebrated the opening of the much anticipated movie Black Swan, which showcases her in an award-worthy role.  Now Portman has wedding and baby shower to plan after receiving an engagement ring from New York City Ballet dancer and Black Swan co-star, Benjamin Millepied, AND announcing her pregnancy.  2011 is looking like it’s shaping up to be the year of Portman.  How talented is their child going to be?!

Princess Kate? When will Prince William put a RING on it?!

Celebrity engagements have definitely grabbed our attention lately with Dancing with the Stars Pro, Karina Smirnoff getting engaged with a breathtaking 4.5 carat Asscher cut diamond and the adorable couple of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo getting ready to say “I Do” with an Asscher cut diamond flanked by trapezoids by Bader and Garrin, our focus is now shifted across the pond as growing speculation is swirling around Prince William and longtime girlfriend, Kate Middleton. The couple began dating while attending University in 2003 and after a brief split in 2007, the couple seems to once again be going strong.

Royal watchers have long been predicting the impending engagement of the extremely private couple, but rumors have definitely begun to swirl with the couple making very public appearances recently at a friend’s wedding in the English countryside and with both of their families vacationing together with the Queen at her royal estate of Balmoral.

As we all wait with baited breath for the Queen’s wall post on her newly established Facebook page, we are all left wondering…. will the prince continue the trend by proposing to his princess with an Asscher engagement ring?

Cheat Sheet: When Shopping for a Wedding Band

Let’s face it, shopping for a wedding band is often overlooked and, when finally tackled, can be daunting. With so many styles, it seems like the choices are endless, thus, we’ve developed a cheat sheet of things to consider when looking for one of the most important pieces of jewelry you will ever own.

Will you wear the ring every day? If you want to wear the engagement ring everyday, then the wedding band should mirror the style of the engagement ring. Be sure to consider how the rings look when paired and how well they sit together.

Will you mix things up and sometimes not pair with your engagement ring? If you are not going to rock your engagement ring everyday then perhaps you want a wedding band that is slightly more detailed.

Are you looking for matching bands for you and your husband-to-be? Of course, you do not have to have matching bands, however, if you would like to have similar styles, make sure you both agree on the style of the bands. If you can’t reach agreement, consider bands that compliment each other.

Do you like to mix and match your jewelry metals depending on what you’re wearing for the day? If so, consider two-tone wedding bands that pair flawlessly with whatever jewelry you feel like wearing: yellow gold, white gold, platinum or sterling silver all look fabulous with a two-tone wedding band.

Picking Your Bridal Party

Most of the blogs that appear on this page discuss engagement rings or other type of jewelry by Ritani (besides the celebrity gossip of course).  We pride ourselves on having fine pieces of jewelry available for every special moment in your life.

For this week’s blog, I want to concentrate on the bridal party: the groomsmen and bridesmaids.  Most of the attention is given to the bride and the groom, and we totally ignore those that make the day so special.  The bridal party plays a huge role in a wedding’s success…or its failure.

Picking your bridal party is very important…and after reading this quote that I found on a brides experience with one her bridesmaids will no doubt convince you:

“I went wedding dress shopping with a couple of bridesmaids and had an 11 a.m. appointment at a bridal salon. One of my bridesmaids had been drinking at a christening before our appointment and showed up totally wasted. She was loud, slurring, and grabbing different wedding dresses off the racks. The sales people kept asking her to sit down, but she wouldn’t listen. She finally said that she could tell that she wasn’t wanted there and left. As she was driving out of the parking lot, she hit the sales person’s car and drove away. They took down her tag number and called the police, who came to the scene and interviewed me as part of their investigation. My bridesmaid then called me that afternoon and screamed at me, accusing me of calling the cops on her. She did not recall hitting a car or behaving the way she did. Needless to say, she is no longer a bridesmaid.”

Rule #1: Don’t pick a bridesmaid who gets drunk at a christening IN THE MORNING!!

Rule#2: Don’t let her drive drunk

(These are common sense rules, come on people!)

I’m sure you can find hundreds of other first hand horror stories.
