Actress Kate Hudson sure has a thing for rocks AND rock stars! The Something Borrowed star announced to Matt Lauer yesterday on The Today Show that she and had accepted an engagement ring from boyfriend, Matthew Bellamy who is the frontman for the rock band Muse. The couple began dating in late Spring of 2010 and announced shortly after that they were expecting their first child. Hudson explained that Bellamy’s proposal was “very sweet and very romantic,” and only happened a week ago. The rock star presented the actress with an engagement ring, which weighs approximately 9.00 carats, featuring an emerald-cut centerstone that is flanked by two tapered baguettes and set in platinum. This isn’t Kate’s first trip down the aisle with a rockstar, as she previously exchanged wedding bands with Black Crowes lead singer, Chris Robinson with whom she has a son, Ryder. Although the couple has yet to set a wedding date, I’m sure the couple will decide to exchange vows and wedding bands in a simple yet elegant setting surrounded by only the closest friends and family.

There’s that old rhyme that even a lot of modern day brides still adhere to on their wedding day…“something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” But what about before she walks down the aisle? Take a look below at how this popular saying can help you select the perfect engagement ring.
Something Old: Have you ever considered purchasing an antique engagement ring or an estate piece? There is something about a vintage ring that exudes romance. The delicate designs, the lacy filigree work and old world charm tell a love story from a bygone era. Scour antique stores, estate sales and even online market places that may specialize in this sort of thing.
Something New: OK, what if your intended is not the frilly girly- girl type? She may be happier with a modern looking ring. The sleek lines of a bezel set ring, or the geometric angles of a more modern ring might appeal to her. This type of design is also good if your girlfriend has a job where she works with her hands, and complements a sporty look and personality. Bonus: sturdy modern designs are especially great if she is hard on her jewelry.
Something borrowed: So maybe you and your significant other have already ring shopped and you have not seen anything that is exactly to your liking. Maybe you have seen a particular prong style you liked on one ring, and a shank you liked on another. Many jewelry boutiques have taken this very situation into account and will make you a custom one-of –a- kind ring. Feel free to “borrow” different design elements from other rings you may have liked and incorporate them into your dream ring.
Something Blue: Don’t forget, there is no steadfast rule that an engagement ring must be a diamond. An engagement ring is any ring that is given with the intention that a marriage will soon follow. Blue sapphires have long been a popular choice for engagement rings due to their durability and beautiful color. You can purchase a sapphire solitaire, or choose a ring that features a sapphire at the main attraction with diamond accents.
