Jersey Shore Returns

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — admin @ 1:06 pm

Tonight, season 2 of the out-of-nowhere phenomenon Jersey Shore premieres on MTV tonight.  This show is already out of control…I guess it’s ok to keep the title “Jersey Shore” even though the episodes will be taking place in Miami for season 2.  As a New Jersey resident, I think I speak for a majority of NJ when I say we don’t want to associated with these stubborn, fist pumpin juice heads, no talent clowns who can’t understand that their just prolonging their 15 minutes of fame…and trust me, it’s been a long 15 minutes.

However, we can’t overlook the fact that they have become celebrities in a way…I’m sure you reach some type of status when the President of the U.S. mentions you by name.   But WHY have they become so popular?  Being sponsored by MTV doesn’t help, but could it be because they appear to be wearing Ritani jewelry? Definitely doesn’t hurt.  Snooki and the gang flash a good amount of jewelry int he show.  Like their necklaces or earrings?  Check out Ritani’s versions by clicking here

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.

Inception Hits Theaters

Ok boys and girls, dreamy movie star Leonardo DiCaprio is back with what looks like another blockbuster movie, “Inception.”  If anything, I would go to see Ellen Page but I might be in the minority here.  Anyway, I was looking at the summary for the movie (since the trailer doesn’t help much) and this is what it says according to IMDB:

“Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.”

Sounds like Leo has found his nitch in the Sci-Fi/Thriller/Mystery market.  (His last movie was Scorsese’s “Shutter Island.”)  I decided to be a nice guy and save you the time and money and just give you the ending…the idea that Leo wants to plant is for you to buy an engagement ring from Ritani.  Somewhere in your subconscious you want to buy a ring, and Leo is going to help us out there.  One day you might wake up with a Bella Vita, Endless Love, or Romantique engagement ring sitting on your girlfriend’s finger without any memory of putting it there, but rest assured you did.

Don’t let Leo get in your head!  Check us out online or give us a call to buy a ring…before it’s too late!

Picking Your Bridal Party

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , — admin @ 10:08 am

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.

The Lindsay Lohan Drama Saga

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 10:45 am

Lindsay Lohan is scheduled to appear at her home away from home today: The Beverly Hills, CA courtroom.  The reason for her court appearance? You guessed it, drug and alcohol abuse.  The 24 year old actress has been caught a few times in these situations.  She was caught and sentenced three years ago after she pleaded guilty to driving while under the influence of alcohol as well as cocaine (not at the same time, but it wouldn’t surprise me).

After missing a hearing to promote one of her films at the Cannes Film Festival, the judge removed her probation and ordered her to wear an alcohol monitor.  Of course the monitor went off at an after party she attended on the night of the MTV movie awards.

What happened to the girl in the Parent Trap or Herbie Fully Loaded?  If you have kids and are trying to figure out how to approach them about the negative effects of drugs and alcohol, just show them a picture of Lindsay Lohan within the past 5 years and they’ll get the idea.

It sounds like this judge shows no favor towards celebrities, in which case buying the judge alittle something could never hurt.  (Some call in bribery, I would call it jealousy).  Here are Ritani, we have everything a judge could want…and then some!  Sitting in a black robe all day doesn’t sound like fun…adding some jewelry could sure do alot.  Maybe a nice pendant from our Endless Love collection?  Or possibly some earrings from our Floral collection.  If Lindsay wants to stay out of the slammer, these are things she should seriously consider.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 12:51 pm

As all of you know, or should know, the fourth of July is coming up soon.  Many people celebrate the fourth in different ways.  Some people travel to see relatives.  Some may have a barbecue while others may go to their town’s firework show…or both.

Whatever you do with friends or families, keep in mind WHY we celebrate this holiday in the first place.  Next time you see a person in the armed forces, make sure you go out of your way to thank them for their service of upholding our freedom.

Showing your appreciation to a soldier doesn’t have to take long, minutes at the most…but most of you have a three day weekend…what to do with the rest of the weekend…WHY NOT SHOP RITANI?!

We have beautiful collections (such as Endless Love, Romantique, and Floral by Ritani just to name a few) from engagement rings to pendants, to earrings!  Maybe you have a special occasion coming up? Ritani can help you celebrate it!  Check out some of our fine jewelry!:

World Cup Fever? Here’s Some Medicine!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 3:07 pm

The world cup is living up to its name and is taking the world by storm!  Everyone is talking about which country beat who (some countries I have never even heard of) and as well as predicting which two teams will end up in the finals.  With soccer being a European sport, I was surprised as to how intense America took to the competition!  I can’t tell you how many facebook friends I had to cut because that’s all they would post about…sacrifices had to be made for my sanity…

And then all at once, POOF, America was out and almost all the posts stopped.  Now that all the late evenings and early morning drinking is over  (with the game being in South Africa and all messes with our sleep pattern), people are probably thinking, “what’s left in life?”  Well, maybe you’ll start going back to work and making money…and then with all that money you’re making, you can spend it on fine jewelry.  A beautiful new necklace or diamond ring really helps the grieving process to an American defeat.  Ritani makes some of the finest hand crafted jewelry.  With collections such as Endless Love, Floral, and Romantique, Ritani really proves its point.  We have jewelry for every occasion, from graduations to designer engagement rings!
