Anakin Skywalker Pops the Question to Earthling Princess

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Not so long ago in a city not too far away (Hollywood), actor Hayden Christensen proposed to Rachel Bilson, herself of silver screen fame. In late February of this year, People.com reported that the couple had become engaged over the previous holiday season. Hayden, 27 - and made uber-famous for having portrayed the role of “pre-gothpunk makeover” Darth Vader in the most recent STAR WARS trilogy - proposed in a still yet disclosed manner to the actress of the same age, the two having met on the set of the movie, Jumper. News of the engagement was leaked to the above named source by an un-named individual who had sat on a transcontinental flight next to Ms. Bilson. After having been asked about her lovely ring and whether or not she had set a date yet, the actress replied, “No, we just got engaged.”

 

As for the lovely ring, Rachel has been far more clever at keeping those details under wraps than the announcement of the impending nuptial. However, careful observation and use of some elaborate imaging software has allowed us to make a few educated guesses as to the nature of the engagement ring. Before we begin our examination, the management here at weddingrings.net/blog would like very much to thank our special speculatory investigative team, ‘The Wing-Dings Squad’. They are, true to their motto, “The best darn wing-dings on these here interwebs!’

 

Judging by the photograph page right, the ring from afar clearly stands out at a naked eye viewing distance of approximately 8 -10 feet. This has instantly led many to speculate the rings weight to be at least 2.5 carats. The inset of the photo, pictured within the red circle, is an enhanced image showing a great deal of detail. The diamond itself is most probably a solitaire-cut stone, but when our experts take into account the angle at which the photo was taken and run it through 3-D imaging analysis software, the Wing-Dings have calculated a 17% chance that is potentially an unorthodox “rounded oval-cut”. Light refraction analysis of the stone itself has determined the ring to be of a less than natural origin. Though not a paste based, or otherwise faux stone, it emits a high ultra-red spectromittal refraction when exposed to sunlight, thus proving it was likely man made! The Rings metal is, according to light wave reflectional analysis tests, either pure platinum or a platinum-based white gold alloy.

 

The design and presentation of the overall piece is quite tasteful. The band of the engagement ring appears to have somekind of segmented or corrigated exterior, perhaps itself inlaid with small stones or consisting of etched designs.

 

We wish the young couple all the best of luck this galaxy can afford them! We keep high hopes Hayden doesn’t do Rachel like that deadbeat Anakin “Darthman Cometh and Went” Skywalker did Padme’ Amidala…abandoning her pregnant self on some desolate rock in the middle of no where… no weapons with which to defend her poeple… having to rely on Uncle Obi Wan to raise her son.

Wedding and Engagement Ring Trivia!

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Let’s have some fun today with a bit of useless trivia! How many answers do you know? How many people do you think you can stump around the water cooler? Want to seem like the proverbial ’brainiac’ of the office and need more material? Well read on, smarty-pants!

 

Q: What is the most common explanation associated for the reason behind engagement/wedding rings being worn of the third digit of the left hand?

A: Many ancient cultures believed that the left middle finger contained the “vein of love”, which ran from the left ‘ring’ finger directly to the heart. Thus expressions of love such as rings were worn on said finger.

 

Q: From where do we get the word “diamond”?

A: According to philologists (people who study the history of words) the word diamond comes from the Ancient Greek term ”adamant”, which meant steady, eternal or indestructible.

 

Q: How did the word “betrothed” come into existence?

A: Again, philology tells us the modern word “betrothed” comes from the old Anglo-Saxon word “troweth”, a word associated with truth and loyalty. To be” betrothed” in Middle English meant to have had taken an oath or sworn fidelity to another. Nowadays, to be betrothed means having vows of eternal loyalty at a wedding ceremony.

 

Q: Is there a difference between being ‘wed’ and being ’betrothed’?

A: Interesting tid-bit here… In its modern usage, to be ‘wed’ is to be declared married by secular institution, while to be ‘betrothed’ is to be declared married by a religious entity.

 

Q: What was the smallest engagement ring know to have been offered?

A: The smallest engagement ring known in history was given to the two year old Princess Mary, daughter to the infamous King Henry VIII of England’s House of Tudor. She had been betrothed by her parents by-proxy to another infant, Prince Dauphin of France. The ring was specially made to fit her tiny finger!

 

Q: What is a “princess engagement ring”, and how does it differ from a regular engagement ring?

A: A princess engagement ring was an early English design that consisted of three to five diamonds arranged in a row across the top of the ring. Though no current differences exist between the two terms, in pre-Magna Carta England there existed laws stating that only royalty or church officials could possess rings consisting of multiple stones!

 

Q: From where and when did the custom of a ‘wedding band’ on top of a ‘betrothal ring’ (engagement ring) originate?

A: No one can really say, as the concept of gifting two rings (one before and another after a wedding) is a rather recent phenomenon of current prevailing Western cultural ideals which some researches have noted seems to have sprung up quite organically across the globe some 100 or so years ago.

Tom Brady & Gisele Bundchen Take it to the End Zone!

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Super model Gisele Bundchen and Tom “Super Bowl” Brady were wed late this past February, 2009. The couple had been dating and engaged for sometime before the ceremony, and according to many sources, have transitioned well into married life. The very private event itself took place at the Santa Monica catholic Church located in Santa Monica, of course.

 

At 28, the Brazilian born bombshell wore an amazing strapless designer dress to her first trip down the wedding aisle. This was Mr. Brady’s first attempt at married life as well. She was sure to see that her three miniature pet poodles wore gowns matching her own, as all three served as bridesmaids to wit! The ceremony, which started at dusk as reported by US Magazine, was simple and elegant with only a small number of the couple’s friends and family in attendance, to include Tom’s young son John, sired during a previous relationship with Hollywood actress Bridget Moynahan who was not reported as being in attendance though having been invited to attend. Though perhaps not as glamorous of a wedding as one might expect for such a well known pair, it would appear Gisele had a dream wedding none-the-less, having once been quoted as saying when asked in an interview that she would prefer, “A simple ceremony. I would prefer something more intimate with only the closest people.” After the Kiss, Tom and the now Mrs. Brady left the church with the new step mother carrying Tom’s son in her arms and attended a small celebratory gathering at the couples home In Brentwood , California.

 

The vows exchanged were topped with a matching pair of white gold wedding bands, each inscribed with words of eternal love and set with small, emerald cut diamonds whose designer is still unknown.

“Roughing” It! An Off the RADAR Diamond Ring Trend

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

The above ring is a fine example of how rought-cut diamonds and other stones can provide lasing and unique beauty.Though certainly not the choice made by the majority of diamond engagement ring buyers, rings containing rough-cut stones are growing in their popularity. There are several existent conditions contributing to the rise of such rings, many of which center around environmentally conscientious consumers, those buyers looking to make a unique statement with their piece and cost comparisons with the more traditional, finely cut and polished stones.

 

For all the blushing brides-to-be who beam with excitement  each time they display their well polished engagement rings to friends, family and complete strangers, there are also a few brides who would blush with something other than pride if sporting the latest in cut stone fashions. For such green economy consumers the idea of wearing a diamond that may have been mined from a contested area, or feel that the diamond’s production might have been cause for further pollution to the environment, a rough-cut diamond is quickly becoming the leading choice in  many kinds of diamond jewelry; not just engagement rings. The demand for such eco- friendly stones and designer jewelery has grown bit by bit over the past few years, and though most chain retailers do not carry such pieces, custom boutiques and several specialized online shopping portals either carry, or can custom craft, such a unique diamond engagement ring or other type jewelery design.

 

Now, do not let the word “rough” fool you. A rough-cut stone contains two things: beauty in its own right and the kernel of a polished diamond! For most consumers who purchase a rough-cut stone, be it for the “main event” of an engagement ring, as accent stones on a wedding band or other designer jewelery piece, the primary motive is show a new and unique trend. Rough-cut diamonds possess a unique beauty in their own right. Unlike their refined and polished cousins, no two rough-cut diamonds will ever even appear quite the same… much less identical! Also, for those individuals who may want a truly one of a kind ring, implementing uncut or otherwise rough diamonds is a fine option to consider. Perhaps you may to go for an ‘ancient’ and not just ‘antique’ look for your next piece! However, another factor may come into mind when purchasing rough-cut gems (diamonds especially), and that is the fact that contained with each is a potential mega stone. Depending upon the surface clarity of each stone, rough-cut diamonds can easily be determined for 4-C quality and potential final cut size. Since rough-cut diamonds are less costly on a carat per carat basis, the savvy consumer can not only get more diamond for their two months salary, but may also take investment potential into account as well. This is particularly true for jewelry pieces that may hold less sentimental value than engagement or wedding rings, such as earrings and pendants.

Top Tips for Choosing a Tip-Top Wedding Ring for Men

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Let’s face it, for many men the idea of wearing their wedding rings on a daily basis is a less then desirable prospect. Though some may have less than honorable intentions for their lack of showery, most men have work safety, ring damage or perhaps even dress code concerns to take into account when wearing their wedding bends. Let’s take a few paragraphs in this first instalment of our two part article to explore some of the various types and common styles of men’s wedding rings to see if we can’t find one that is right for you when looking to display your love and commitment.

 

Most tradesmen and others who work daily with their hands have, for one reason or another, good cause for not wearing their wedding bands. Pretty much any wedding ring a man could hope to purchase will be made from some form of electrically conductive metal, and as such, those who work around electricity or machinery wherein the ring could be lodged will need to often remove their rings at work, if worn into the workplace at all. For those individuals who will be finding themselves constantly removing and replacing the ring from their middle digit, a ring made from a durable metal such as titanium or tungsten would be the best of choices. Gold and other traditional metals are quite soft and pliable, thus increased wear on the band itself is inevitable. Over the long term, such wear will make the band thinner and more brittle, and may eventually lead to the band becoming split or otherwise broken. Another valid reason for exploring stronger alternative metals is to ensure that when the rings is stowed, perhaps in a pocket or tool belt, it has less of a chance of suffering from scratches or misshaping in the event it should come into contact with another hard metal surface.

 

For those husbands who may possibly have dress code issues to concern themselves with, such as Active Duty military personnel or emergency responders, more traditional styles and colors might be the better option. For any readers who may have served in the armed forces, I’m sure they might recall having read the standards published by their respective branches when it came to wearing of their respective uniforms. Though wearing a wedding ring certainly is not against any dress code I can think of (or recall from Army FM 21-20), still, I wonder just how appropriate my old chain of command would have felt about an orange hued, anodized tungsten wedding band!

 

There are for many men fewer concerns about wedding ring substance at the workplace, as their attention may need to be focused more on style. I myself, like many men who sit at desks, spend a great deal of my day typing or otherwise consumed by dexterous finger movements. As such, rings for office gents need to be lighter and fit as if they were not there. Ridges, sharp edges and even inlaid stones are perhaps things to be avoided when choosing your perfect wedding band. However, in the event that the wedding ring you choose is ornate in its nature, do be sure to see to it that the ring fits well and won’t swivel around your finger. I myself have a coworker who loves his wife and wedding band, but hates the small cuts he receives on the webbing between his fingers on occasion from the small ridges which flank both sides of his ring!

“TomKat’s” Token of Love – Examining Katie’s Engagement Ring

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

 

When Tom Cruise proposed to Katie Holmes, he presented her with a five carat oval-cut diamond engagement ring reminiscent of art deco or other more ‘antique-ish’ designs. The stone, set in white rose gold and resting in a pave setting, topped off what many feel was a truly unique and elegant ring. The proposal itself was nothing to simply put aside as being bourgeois, as the world’s most famous Scientologist popped the question atop one of the world’s most famous landmarks, the Eiffel Tower, on a still unknown date in 2005. Even after only a few minutes of having been on her finger, the ring began to stir up comments from the peanut galleries of the world. The high profile couple was, and many would say still remain, an easy target for the world press to fix their eyes upon, and thus inevitably created both kudos and criticisms regarding themselves, the proposal, and of course… the ring!

 

The ring’s large and stunningly brilliant appearance drew opinions of both awe and shock alike, depending on which camp the comments originated from. While many celebrity gossip outlets focused on the  movie star, glitz and glamour angle, others were not so quick to sing the praises of the ring. Many conservative groups, especially those with a charitable bend, leveled criticisms against Tom and the couple for having spent such a large sum of money on the piece. The ring was estimated to cost somewhere between 5 and 6 million dollars. They made mention of the fact that though Tom was (and still is) an ardent supporter of human rights groups and various charities across the globe, and his donations of time, money and the publicity that he inevitably brings to any cause he might support are always welcome, the fact that such an extravagant ring was placed upon his beloved’s finger served to distract from the more important issues he has historically concerned himself with. Katie herself couldn’t escape the wrath of a few commentators, who reveled in their witticisms regarding the large ring and Katie’s thin and delicate fingers. One blogger went so far as to say, “It looks like a St. Bernard’s whisky barrel on a poodle!” Tom was also called out on the carpet for having bought a ring that was perhaps improperly sized when it was noticed by paparazzi photogs how the ring had a tendency to float around Katie’s finger.

 

But getting back to the feelings and opinions of all those “Page 6″ writers and National Enquirer fans: they loved it! The flawless, five carat monster was hailed as the engagement ring of the year. Commentators across all media outlets made mention of the predictability of the split band design of another celebrity power couple’s diamond bauble, whilst jewelers across the world noted the necessity of such a split band due to the stone’s size, shape and band thinness when taking into account the given gold alloy. Many other positive comments made mention of the rings tastefully simple design, elegantly old-world in it’s beauty, and the multiple tiny accent diamonds which surround the perimeter of the main stone.

What is a Diamond?

Monday, April 27th, 2009

We all know what a diamond is in the abstract sense; a pretty rock. But how much do you really know about that shiny little bauble you plan on purchasing or already love so much? In this blog entry, let’s try to uncover more information about this most precious of ’stones’ and briefly examine diamonds from a scientific point of view.

 

The most common misconception regarding diamonds is that they are in fact stones. Though this term is commonly used both in the jewelry industry and on the street, nothing could be further from the truth. A diamond is actually a crystalline structure, or crystal for us laypeople, consisting of pure carbon atoms arranged in an isometric matrix. In ideal circumstances over the course of perhaps billions of years (or a few months if the diamond is man made), diamonds grow out equally in all directions resulting in a symmetrical octahedral shape, or looking like two pyramids connected at their bases. Most natural diamonds, and many man made as well, none-the-less experience multiple variations in temperature and pressure during their formation, and as such, imperfections are made manifest within the structure of the carbon matrix. Such variations occurring during the diamond’s creation are what determine their overall 4-C rating. Minor internal lines or cracks, odd shaping, small particles captured with the diamond that were never forced out by the constant pressure and the occasional ‘undiagnosable’ blemish are the most common flaws diamonds can suffer from. One odd and little known such blemish is the occasional ‘crystal within crystal’ flaw, wherein during the formation of one diamond, a smaller diamond was created with the host ’stone’. Usually such imperfections occur toward the outer portions of the stone and can be cut away to reveal the more perfect, if not flawless, interior.

 

The unique qualities of the diamond you may be planning to purchase for your beloved’s engagement ring, or other piece of fine jewelry, go well beyond the mere naked eye. Beauty is skin deep they say, but a diamond’s artfulness is sub-atomic! As many people know, diamond is the hardest material known to exist by humanity, scoring a perfect 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. As such, diamond is extremely resistant to scratching and wear from friction. In fact diamond is several times harder than the next substance down on the Mohs Scale, corundum, which is the same substance emeralds and rubies are formed from. Diamonds, on top of being number one for hardness, are also extremely resistant to heat and acidic or base chemicals. It takes temperatures in excess of 700° Celsius (1,300°F) to even attempt to burn a diamond. As pure crystalline carbon a diamond has no melting point. Moreover, extremely powerful acids and base liquids have no effect on the structure of diamond, as the carbon matrix is so tight that the molecules of such liquids cannot penetrate the surface and begin to break down the diamonds they may come into contact with. In fact it is such chemicals that are used to clean the diamonds in your rings! Such qualities make diamond the substance for industrial cutting and grinding purposes.

Beyonce’s Big & Bold Wedding Day “BA-BLING”!!!

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Really, the title does say it all, people! Pictured left is Hip-Hop diva Beyonce’s wedding ring presented by her husband and sometimes muse, rapper Jay-Z, on the couple’s wedding day. And what a wedding ring it so uber-obviously is indeed! The groom wanted to be sure and make the exchanging of rings at the ceremony would be more than memorable and so went against trends and tradition, deciding on this 18 carat behemoth over the more standard styles of wedding bands. Like so many things in the music industry, the wedding ring is larger than life and, at an estimated cost of nearly three million dollars. Still, what is a low mere seven figures for a woman like Beyonce’ Knowles when, in the same year as the wedding alone, you’re making an estimated forty plus million dollars?

 

Little has been made public regarding the wedding ceremony which took place in April of last year, and for unknown reasons, Beyonce’ has been loathe to be photographed whilst wearing the ring. Insiders reported the wedding as having been a simple, but still quite stylish “A-List” event, with friends, family and several huge names from the Hip-Hop music community.  Rapper/producer Sean “Puffy” Combs, singer and former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland,  as well as Mid-west music sensation Nelly were all said to have been invited.

 

As anyone can easily see, the ring is a wonderfully cut emerald shaped diamond set in a ’split band’ pure platinum setting. The ring was designed by Lorraine Schwartz, whose boutique is located on famous Fifth Avenue in New York City, has become a staple designer for many successful young ladies who wish to show their best. Schwartz first become noticed in 2002 when actress Halle Berry wore pieces from her collection when she received the ‘Best Actress’ Oscar for her role in Monster’s Ball. Beyonce’ herself has often been seen wearing many assorted designs by Schwartz at previous red carpet events. Other ultra-famous ‘celebutantes’ to have sported Schwartz creations are Christina Aguilar and Jennifer Lopez.

 

The mega star’s’ mega rock’ is reported as being flawless under the 4-C rating system (a diamond grading scale used to determine value), and as an elongated octagonal or emerald-cut, is an exceptionally rare stone. Some controversy was stirred up when a few experts made mention of the how stone’s unique size and quality narrow its’ origins down significantly, having possibly been mined from Sierra Leone or some other West African nation, an area of the world famous for what have been branded “conflict” or “blood” diamonds.

Celebrity Engagement Rings – Past and Present

Monday, April 27th, 2009

From antique rings to one of a kind custom designer creations, there is as much diversity of tastes among the engagement rings of celebrities as there are between the brides themselves. One of the most common attributes of any celebrity ring, however, is the exceptional carat size. Here is a short list of some of these larger than life personalities who have flashed some enormous engagement rings.

 

• Elizabeth Taylor, when engaged to her third husband, Michael Todd, wore a nearly 30 carat emerald cut diamond engagement ring.
• Lady Diana Spencer wore an 18-carat deep blue oval sapphire circled by fourteen diamonds when she promised to become Princess Diana.

• After Marilyn Monroe eloped with Joe DiMaggio, he presented her with a platinum eternity band set with thirty-six small baguette cut diamonds.

Spencer + Heidi = One Overly Hyped Wedding!

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Well, it’s finally official. After three grueling years of having to suffer through one of Hollywood’s most unorthodox courtships; pimping themselves out to various media outlets for supposed exclusives, “paparazzi blunders” and various other oddities, the “wanna-be” Barbie Doll named Heidi Montag has become the latest blushing bride of  Beverly Hills, having married long-time fiancé’ Spencer Pratt.

 

The young couple, co-stars on the popular show The Hills, exchanged vows this weekend at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, California. Besides family and childhood friends, many of the two’s co-stars were in attendance. The short list of beautiful L.A. younglings included Audrina Patridge, Justin-Bobby, Lo Bosworth as well as Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavallari, and Frankie Delgado.

 
The bride wore in excess of one million dollars worth of jewelry (borrowed, of course) designed by Neil Lane, which included an elegant pear shaped diamond pendant strung from multiple diamond bejeweled chains. Other pieces on display were custom diamond earrings and diamond encrusted hairpins, all worn by the bride. This of course was to accent the 2 carat baguette cut engagement ring consisting of two smaller side-set princess cut diamonds. Not to be outdone, the supposedly heterosexual groom sported rather large diamond cufflinks clearly seen in contrast to his black tuxedo. The wedding bands themselves were ‘simple’ matching platinum bands.  Arriving to the ceremony in a classic Rolls Royce Phantom, the couple made certain no expense was spared to ensure that the wedding photos would fetch the highest price. Even a bi-plane pulled a banner professing the groom’s love was employed in the ceremony, flying repeatedly over the location. The previously mentioned wedding photos should be appearing on newsstands, television, the Internet and possibly even direct mailings shortly.

The reception was simple and elegant, with the couple having invited a mere forty guests on top of the assorted network’s cameras crews, photogs and MTV News crew invited to cover the ‘event’.

 

This was the second attempt the couple has made to tie the knot, the first wedding having been postponed due to “security concerns”. According to some sources, the couple received a hot tip from the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security that foreign terrorists had not yet threatened an attack in an effort to disrupt their big day, and thus they made sure to get the word out to their publicists so as to be absolutely certain the whole world knew of their impending wedding, even those who may be moving from cave to cave in their efforts to avoid Allied bombing strikes!

 

Still, congratulations are in order none-the-less (kudos kiddies), and here at weddingrings.net we truly do wish the young couple the best of wishes. Maybe now they will stop clogging up our E-TV!
