You may need a tissue by the end of the story. Keep it handy.

In the year 1943, David Kershaw had a summer romance with Jeanne Walker. A year later he was summoned to the U.S. Army and he served till 1946. While in the army, the couple wrote letters to each other but stayed away from getting engagement because of the war. In the meanwhile, a Polish jeweller made two silver engagement rings for David to express his gratitude during the war period. The silver coins were supplied by David and the jeweller made the custom-made engagement rings out of the coins with ‘David’ and ‘Jeanne’ engraved on it.

Engagement RingsAfter coming back they soon started dating again but later separated amicably as neither of them was ready for a commitment. “We went our separate ways,” Kershaw says. “She went to nursing school. I went to engineering school.” They both went on to get married and have kids.

He still had the silver engagement rings but kept them safely in a box. He never mentioned the engagement rings to anyone. The engagement rings were kept secret that would die with him. But fate had other plans.

In 2008 Kershaw’s wife, Clara Wahl was diagnosed with Alzheimer. As he didn’t want to send her to a nursing home, he...

The famous British supermodel who has several ‘Sexiest Woman’ titles under her belt, Kate Moss is undoubtedly, a smart business woman!

After a series of successful alliances like Topshop with a clothing line, designing a range of handbags for Longchamp, and also releasing four fragrances as a result of collaboration with Coty, she has now tested the waters by designing jewellery!Kate_Moss

She has ventured into the jewellery business by becoming a jewellery designer for a French jewellery company called Fred. Her exclusive luxurious 22-piece collection is inspired by her rarely seen tattoos. The price ranges from £ 400 to £ 40, 000.

You will find long ruby and diamond necklaces, diamond studs, white and rose gold stackable rings and diamond pendants in the shape of anchors, crescent moon and stars in the jewellery collection designed by her.

She also recently got married to Jamie Hince, a musician. Her wedding ring was a simple gold band, contrary to her huge vintage diamond engagement ring. But that’s another story altogether!

Her penchant and love for designing jewellery can be credited to her stint as a super-model. She knows the in-and-out of fashion; hence she knows what designs work and what don’t.

With such good business sense, it comes as a no surprise that she is considered as one of the most successful and richest women in...

Not all wedding proposals are dreamlike and perfect. Going down on one knee and proposing to the love of your life can make anyone anxious and give you the jitters. Even the extensive planning and preparation can go wrong at the last minute.

Lost Diamond

If you don’t believe this then ask Matt Cawley, a 31-year-old restaurateur from Massachusetts in America. All he wanted was to surprise his girlfriend, Stacey Scanlon, a 30-year-old school teacher with a memorable wedding proposal. But things went horribly wrong for him right when he was about to ask, “Will you marry me?”

Cawley selected a family heirloom diamond engagement ring, worth approximately £ 6000 for his lover. He tied the diamond engagement ring to an oversize sand dollar (a type of marine animal species that looks like a white round coin) and placed it on the pier at a beach. In pretext of taking a stroll on the beach, Cawley took her to the pier and directed her attention to the sand dollar. But as soon she went to pick it up, the ring got detached and fell down in the rocks.

“It was the worst feeling in the world,” Cawley added. “I won’t put it up there with a death, but I was in shock.”

The beautiful engagement ring was paved with beautiful sparkling diamonds with one large diamond at the centre. It was not only beautiful but was also a part of the family heirloom. Family, friends and even...

The recent celebrity who has everyone’s tongue wagging is Huge Hefner, the founder of famous Playboy. He has always lived an envious life but lately he has been in news for all the wrong reasons. The 85 year old, Hefner’s relationship with the 24 year old Playboy mate and model Crystal Harris has been in the news right from its start, be it their engagement or Harris dumping him a week before the wedding!

The latest development is that the diamond engagement ring given by Hefner is going to be auctioned at Christie’s in New York City in October, 2011 by Harris. The sparkling 3.39 carat round diamond ring, set on platinum was purchased for a staggering £ 59,000. Hefner allowed Harris to keep the ring even after their relationship didn’t materialize but it was reported that she tried to sell it quite a few times earlier. Finally she decided to auction it in order to get rid of all the memories of her relationship with Hefner.

It is predicted that the ring could sell for anything between £ 13,000 and £ 20,000 at the auction.

A round cut diamond is the most preferred cut for engagement rings as it showcases the many facets of a diamond beautifully and emits the most sparkle. If you wish to own a classic round cut

But later it was confirmed that the proposal was a private affair contrary to the reports and like any other man in love, he went down on his knees with his hands outstretched holding a stunning diamond studded sapphire engagement ring.
