Diamonds & Engagement Rings News

Nicole Scherzinger has been suspected of being engaged to current boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton because of a recent sparkling diamond ring being flashed. Earlier this week, while the singer and race-car driver were leaving a hotel in Sao Paulo, Brazil, photographers snapped pictures of them, also discovering a flashy ring as she raised her left hand to her waist.

                       

Neither one of the lovers have confirmed these rumors just yet. When questioned about her love life with Lewis, whom she’s been dating since May of this year, Nicole responds very openly.

Although, initially rumors spread claiming the couple was breaking up, in September Nicole stated that she and Lewis were looking for a house to buy so that they can move in together. Moreover, she wrote a song for him called “I Think I’m In Love.” She refers to this new song saying, “It’s a very personal song. It’s very in-depth and emotional - a real song that I know is going to connect with people.” 

Furthermore, Nicole posts a video online proclaiming her love for Lewis, who had become the new Formula One world champion for winning at the Brazilian Grand Prix. In the video Nicole adds in, “I’m so excited, I feel like I’m on top of the world right now… Why? Because I want to congratulate my boyfriend Lewis Hamilton for being the official Formula One World Champion. Congratulations baby, I love you, I love you, I love you. It’s all about the love and it’s just good times.”

Moments after Birmingham City striker Marcus Bent gets down on one knee, Gemma Atkinson accepts the proposal to marry him, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star, 23, was proposed to by Bent while at a romantic trip to the Lake District. Gemma Atkinson, model and actress, is now sporting a $166,000 engagement ring.

Daily Star had quoted a friend of the couple stating, ‘Gemma was thrilled when Marcus popped the question. He really is the love of her life and she’s sure they will be together forever. They are both very happy.’

The duo began dating in 2006, while Atkinson was still starring in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks. In 2007, the two split for several months, while at the same time Bent, 30, was seen out with glamour model Danielle Lloyd. Though, by November 2007 the couple was seen back together again just before Atkinson flew to Australia to star in I’m A Celebrity.

While acting on the jungle reality show, Atkinson rapidly won over an army of male fans because of her curvaceous figure that was often displayed in bikinis.

For Atkinson, who claimed she didn’t want to be ‘tied down’ at an interview in OK! magazine earlier this year, the engagement seems to be quite a turnaround.

She stated, “I’ve never been one of those women who’ve thought about marriage and kids. I will get married but I don’t want to consider it until I’ve enjoyed my twenties and we’ve lived together for a while.”

The star also speaks of her love for the footballer, saying, “He’s like a rare diamond, once you’ve got then, you keep hold of them.

‘Marcus is very romantic - every day he does something nice for me. The other day we were staying at a hotel and Marcus checked out before me and wrote: ‘I love you’ on the mirror with soap.’  Â

Spotted in Miami with five bodyguards surrounding her, Beyonce Knowles heads to the beach where she can soak up some rays with the company of her sister and personal assistant, before heading to her performance at the 2008 Bermuda Music Festival.

                

In April, former Destiny’s Child member married her boyfriend, Shaun Jay-Z Carter after six years of dating. Even though the couple has not publicised their marriage yet, the 18-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring, worth $5 million, speaks much of their relationship.

On November 18th Beyonce plans on releasing a new album. The celebrity had posted a statement on her official website: “I have recorded over seventy songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny’s Child.”

                 

Scarlett Johansson has tied the knot with Ryan Reynolds this past weekend in an intimate ceremony outside Vancouver in Canada, where the groom was raised. The two can officially be called husband and wife.

Although the wedding was kept on the down low, a representative of Scarlett had confirmed the wedding did really exist and was attended by her mother, Melanie Sloan and her brother, Adrian Johansson. This is the first wedding for both, Ryan, 31 and Scarlett, 23.

           

The duo began dating in February last year, soon after Ryan broke off his engagement to the singer, Alanis Morissette. Later in May 2008, the pair had announced their engagement. Though accurate details of the engagement date were kept under wrap, Scarlett has been spotted wearing an approximate three-carat stone ring ever since.

During the Thomas Weisel Partners 2008 Consumer Conference in New York this morning, Blue Nile Inc. presented to investors.

Diane Irvine, CEO of Blue Nile repeated the findings for the company’s second quarter by stating that the retail status in the United States is challenging.

Trends have taken a turn, downsizing in bridal purchases. Consumers began trading their solitaires for diamond bands, which has an average price difference of about $6,000 to $3,000. Furthermore, buyers were switching their band quality from platinum to white gold.

The economy did not actually have any statistical evidence of a slow-down on wedding bands or engagement rings, but Mark Vadon, Blue Nile chairman said that unclear data hinted to a weakening market.

Vadon had reminded the people who attended the meeting that buying the ring was just part of the larger marriage investment; the package also includes a wedding and setting up a new home.

Rumors have been spreading since the actress, Lindsay Lohan has been spotted sporting a heart-shaped diamond ring.

While attending the DJ gig in New York with her girlfriend, S Ronson, the ring was just recently seen. LiLo’s appearance soon led to several rumors after Ronson allegedly told the people for whom she was performing, “By the end of this year, my love will be Mrs. Ronson.” In addition, Ronson said, “Tonight shows the power of a woman - to underestimate that is to underestimate the world.”

         

Lohan was quoted saying, “I’m really happy. She’s a great person. And she’s a great influence on people around her.” Lindsay Lohan’s certainty is clarified as she goes on saying, “But I think that anything that’s change [in] my life is because of me. I’ve gone through it, and I’ve learned to deal with it and I’ve made the decision to move forward.”

On the other hand, Lindsay’s father does not believe the rumors and claims, “It’s all BS. It’s not true.” A source stated that Lindsay’s mother had apparently been following a similar story saying, “She said it’s just one of Lindsay’s cocktail rings, nothing more. It’s like her own personal joke these days. She slips a ring on that finger, then goes to a party and watches the rumors start to roll. It amuses her.”

Are Lindsay’s parents really right about everything just being a big bluff or is the wedding in the process already? Â

While in London at the Mobo nominations, model, Danielle Lloyd shows off her fiance, and new sparkling engagement ring.

The celebrity has been dating DJ Ironik just months ago and has wasted no time getting engaged to him.

Last week, Lloyd was quoted saying, ‘Things are a bit tricky for us at the moment because he has so many female fans so we’re having to keep it on the “downlow”.’

She continues by letting us in on some news saying, “We’re just waiting now until he brings out his album at the end of this month then, put it this way, we may have some news to announce.”

For Danielle, DJ Ironik, 20, who was nominated for Best UK Newcomer is her first serious relationship since she was dumped by Portsmouth star Jermain DeFoe.

Preceding these relationships, 24- year old, Danielle dated footballers Teddy Sheringham and Marcus Bent.

While spending a fun-filled day with her daughter Nahla at the Los Angeles Zoo, spectators were left in awe of Halle Berry’s baby, Nahla Ariela Aubry.    

                              

The star of X-Men gave birth to baby Nahla in March and has been dating Model Gabriel Aubry -partner and father- for three years now.

Onlookers have also discovered that Halle was flashing a sparkly new engagement ring, sparking rumors of an upcoming wedding, while spending a mummy-daughter day out.

           

Forty-two year old, Halle Berry has been married twice before. Once married to baseball player, David Justice and second time married to Eric Bennett. Both marriages unfortunately ended because allegedly cheating.

             

Although there are rumors that Hilary might be engaged because of her new bling, there are also many doubts.

The primary reason that Hilary does not seem engaged is because even though she seems like a regular and simple girl does not mean she wouldn’t prefer a multiple carat ring over a plain gold band.

Furthermore, Hilary Duff is known for wearing lots of jewelry, especially rings. The most recent proof of this os on Friday when Hilary was at Katsuya with her boyfriend Mile Combrie she was wearing three different rings on her right hand. Several weeks before that she was seen wearing an enormous and bulging ring on her left hand with a bunch of bracelets added to it.

This is confirmation that Hilary Duff is most probably not engaged and is just having some fun with some more rings and new styles.
