When it comes to plan a wedding, choosing the perfect wedding dress is the most exhilarating process! Finding something that flatters your body shape can be an overwhelming task. The first step towards finding the perfect wedding dress is to know your body shape. You can use the experience of celebrities and their wedding dresses to know the latest trends and also to relate with their body types to determine yours!

If you have small, petite body frame like Nicole Richie then you can take a cue from her beautiful wedding dress. Her ball-gown skirt wedding dress had more than 100 yards of silk organza, tulle petals and was hand-made. It was inspired by Grace Kelly’s beautiful vintage dress. With this body frame, it is advisable to keep the wedding accessories to a minimum. Nicole Richie just wore simple diamond earrings on her wedding day that didn’t over-power her beautiful dress.

Women with a pear-shape body like Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce, an A-line princess wedding dress will complement your curvaceous body the best. This type of dress helps to create a perfect balance between the upper and lower body. A simple diamond necklace with diamond drop earrings will complete your look perfectly.

Someone with an enviable hour-glass figure like Salma Hayek, Kate Winslet and Scarlett Johansson should...

Some typical characteristics of people born in November are they are jovial, intelligent, freedom-loving, enigmatic, strong-willed, and passionate. Phew! That’s a long list! Sir Winston Churchill, Demi Moore, Leonardo Dicaprio and Julia Roberts are few of the many famous personalities born in the month of November!

Double Delight

Topaz and Citrine are the two birthstones for people born in November.

Topaz is the most popular out of the two. It has been around for at least 2000 years and is considered to have magical powers. This stone with stunning hues is believed to bring good fortune and health to the wearer. Egyptians believed that the gem protected its wearer from any harm. The Romans also associated this gem with Jupiter, who is the God of Sun because of the golden glow of the gem. The hues of topaz ranges from amber gold to fine cognac, from peach to pink orange, and other various shades of brown.

Little lesser known than Topaz, Citrine is equally beautiful and is believed to have many healing properties. The rarity of this stone can be regarded as one of the reasons why this precious stone is not so popular. Another reason is, often people get confused between...

So far you must have seen all sorts of diamond rings. Single solitaires, big rocks, tiny pieces and clustered diamonds! But this diamond ring by Shawish beats all of the above, hands down!

One Diamond Ring

Just imagine a diamond ring fully made from a single faceted, large rough diamond. No other metal of any kind like white gold, platinum or silver used on the ring. Just purely diamond! Sounds impossible?

Well, Shawish, a Swiss jewellery house made this impossible feat possible. They have managed to achieve something that no one else has ever thought or done. This amazing diamond ring rightly named as the ‘First Diamond Ring’ is made from one single diamond and has no metal on it. It weighs around 150 carats and the estimated price of this ring is £43 million.

The makers confessed that they had to invest a lot of time, money and patience in creating the ring using a single piece of diamond. They had to be very careful while cutting and shaping the diamond as altering the diamond structure could have lead to colour modification. As a diamond’s worth is determined by its colour, clarity and flawlessness, they didn’t want to compromise on this aspect.

It is quite evident that whoever came up with this idea of a complete diamond ring is surely possessed by diamonds. The makers took the phrase, “the bigger, the...
