Diamonds & Engagement Rings News

‘Ring by Spring’ has been affected by colleges all over, now. College girls eagerly go around flaunting their new engagement rings to their classmates. ‘Ring by Spring’ is a term made up to define the large amount of seniors in a rush to get engaged by spring quarter.

Students go around campus doing a “ring check” before deciding what type of ring they would like for themselves. ‘Ring by Spring’ was originally started by christian universities but, are now nationwide.

 These days there are girls who apply to college just to find a suitable husband and to get a useless degree. Other girls choose to go to colleges that are mainly populated by potential husbands such as, Industrial Technology or Mechanical Engineering, and shortly afterwards they drop out, simply to expand their chances in meeting a guy.

The smarter of the students have a promise ring, which is not as expensive as a real engagement ring, in case something happens before they plan a marriage post graduation. Many students rush into getting engaged and then lose out on being able to have a girl’s night out, or get to feel young and carefree because they simply isolate themselves from all the single students who are in no rush.

    Though diamonds last forever, what’s a girl to do with them after a breakup or divorce, when it becomes worthless in her eyes?

Just because breakups and divorce rates get higher does not mean the hurt lessens.

After much research, there was a result of no such website that provides in selling eternity bands, engagement rings, and other valuable jewelry from divorced or broken up relationships.

About a few months ago a website was created primarily for that cause. Marie Perry, a writer and actress, and her daughter-in-law, Meghan Perry, formed Exboyfriendjewelry.com.  The website was designed for selling jewelry that lost emotional spark. The site also has a page for women who would like to tell there own story behind the piece of jewelry.

In the past three months many blogs have been written. Launched with the slogan, “Don’t want it. He cant have it back,” and 3,000 registered users, it has been a very successful website.

Many of the stories are not so extreme. Although there are women who are said to come from abusive relationships that have affected them but, are now moving on.

This past April, another website has gone public by two New Orleans students. The website, Ex-cessories.com and its motto, “Don’t Get Mad-Break Even,” offers independent appraisals of jewelry, matches buyers with seller, and provides a shared network.

One of the women on this site comments on her posted diamond ring saying, “Beautiful ring came with the wrong man. Decided to sell to regain the money that I spent finishing payments on the ring that my ex didn’t.”

Rumor has it that Nick Canon has proposed to Mariah Carey, whom he dated for no more than a few months now. Mariah Carey is thrilled with her engagement ring, proudly boasting it, until finding out that she has been given the same ring nick gave to his ex-fiance, Victoria’s Secret model, Selita Ebanks.

Mariah Carey is well known for being a born-diva, expecting only the best, and nothing less. Unless the ring came from a family heirloom, it is very offending to give a woman the same ring given to an ex-fianc, especially a music idol that has a status to maintain.

Will Mimi actually accept the marriage proposal after all?

Yes the rumors are true Ashlee Simpson is truly engaged to Pete Wentz.

Ashlee announced on Pete’s web sight that even though the matter is truly private she wanted fans to here it from her her self.

The huge diamond ring on Ashlee’s finger which was given to her over Christmas is indeed an engagement ring. The couple plan to tie the not latter this year.

For one man his spear time is all about cherished memories. Bob Grattan is a diver in his spear time and when he dives he looks for cherished pieces to be able to reunite with the loved ones.

Allot of the time Bob has nothing better to do than sell these wedding band watches or tennis bracelets. However for one lucky couple things were about to change.

On Bobs most recent dive he recovered a class ring that had a clue to it. The ring had a gold band and it was marked “University of Maryland, 1951″ and had 2 initials.

Bob called up the university and began to call the 3 people that he was given on his last call he found the couple.

The wife Kiki said that she was the one who lost it. When the husband had proposed the were to poor for a fancy engagement ring so he proposed with his class ring instead.

For this couple even though the ring was replaced along time ago it was great to have the memories back from a class ring that was turned “engagement ring“  giving back to the couple of 52 years.

Once thought to be little more than trinkets, old jewelry stuffed away in attics and keepsakes in boxes has suddenly become a small treasure because of the extraordinarily high price of gold and silver.

Gold which is now being sold for $900 an ounce has more than dubbeld compared to four years ago and silver has hit a record high of $20 an ounce up from last years $7.

People are now walking into stores and selling there gold and silver some people have even resorted into selling the metal coupling out of their air-conditioners and walking out of the store with thousands of dollars.

However lucky these prices are not making a dent in those people who are wishing to buy engagement rings.

These people don’t care that the gold or silver in their engagement rings are going to cost more because it is believed that when the economy is going through some rough times gold and silver is looked at to be rarity and beauty and who wouldn’t want to have that.

The break in happened in Bessingby Road, Bridlington during broad daylight between the hours of 10am and 3pm, where burglars made an untidy search of the house before stealing the jewellery.

Out of 6 items 3 engagement rings were stolen 1 which featured a flower design formed out of a ruby and diamonds, a man’s gold dress ring and a gold eternity ring with rubbies embedded in half  the band.

Among those items there were also a gold engagement ring, this one with blue sapphires surrounding a diamond, a gold eternity ring, with raised blue sapphires covering half the band and a gold chain.

Nothing else but these items where believed to have been taken.

It’s no surprise that Jamie Lynn Spears amt up her own engagement rumors buy flaunting her diamond engagement ring.

However while Jamie Lynn took no problem in flaunting her ring; but when it came time to confirm the rumors she wouldn’t do such a thing.

If Jamie Lynn’s ring is turley an engagement ring than why is she wearing it on the wrong hand?

Celebrity jeweler Cynthia Wolf who designed older sister Brittany’s engagement ring says “it looks like a round diamond very 1980’s, with a yellow gold band. It looks like a wedding set with two different bands.”

Cynthia estimates that the ring is only about a half carat and probably cost between 8,000 and 10,000 if it was custom made; but if bought off the shelf it could cost much much less.

On Wednesday Shirley Espy along with 3 other victims told there story of being robbed to a jury.

“I was heart broken” Epsy says. She tells the jury about how she was just meeting a friend and a coffee shop after her bible study grope and after they were through she was walking back to her car to pick up her 8 year old boys from school.

When a man came up from behind her placed a gun to her stomach and said you scream and I will kill you. These men walked away with her 3 carat diamond engagement ring, as well as her platinum and diamond wedding band worth a total of $60,000.

One of the 2 men who are standing trail agreed to pleed guilty to the charges which will be reduced to robbery since he agreed to testify against the other guilty person.

This second thief however will not be so lucky he chose to rob a 2 ladies in 2 different publix parking lots. He made away with one ladies purse and the other ladies 11,000 diamond ring. However with great thanks to publix there are security vedio’s that clearly show the mans face.
