Celebrity Engagement Rings
By

MatsenWhether we like it or not current trends in
engagement rings say bigger is so much better. Just have a look
at what style engagement rings celebrities are choosing. And of
course what’s good for them is good for the rest of us.
J Lo’s engagement to Ben Flick also started an interesting
trend of consumers seeking out pink diamonds. In no other time
in history have pink diamonds been as popular as right after J
Lo placed that pink diamond engagement ring on her finger.
Do any of you remember Marilyn Monroe sexily purring
“Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend?” Do you have any idea what
that did the engagement ring market.
Guys are still paying for that statement. Sure back in the
50s women knew it wouldn’t be sensible to wear such a large
engagement ring but that didn’t mean a gal couldn’t yearn for
it.
Today a women wouldn’t feel in the least bit guilty about
wearing such a diamond, in fact there are many a women that
judge how well they are loved by the size of the rock they are
wearing because they “know” what Marilyn knew, that “diamonds
are infact a girls best friend.”
When we see the engagement rings worn by stars like Madonna
or Catherine Zeta-Jones we take notice and their choices
influence the trends that follow. Celebrities are the leaders in
setting fashion and jewelry trends.
Madonna with her Edwardian engagement ring and Catherine
Zeta-Jones’s antique styled 10 carat diamond ring has revived
the desire to own a beautiful antique engagement ring. In fact
it’s one of the hottest engagement ring styles in 20 years.
The size of the diamonds in current styles has also grown
from the average one carat to over three carats. That’s a pretty
big rock that’s going to set you back a bit. But girls know they
deserve it!
If you aren’t sure whether bigger is better than have a look
at the jewels at this years Oscars which are said to total over
$50 million dollars in value. Wonder how many vaults it took to
keep those locked up for the night?
With bling being the in thing one has to stop and wonder how
the heck normal average working guys plan to pay for these
rings. When their fiancés are asked the standard answer is
“doesn’t matter I’m worth it.
That’s great if your guy is earning a 6 figure salary but
wait what if he’s not. What if he’s joe average living from pay
day to pay day. What should he do move into the bush and give up
his home, perhaps take up walking and sell his car?
Wait guys maybe you can get away with a really good quality
cubic zirconia. No guarantees but it might be worth a try. Most
of the high end ones can only be identified by a quality
jeweler. Then again maybe she won’t care as long as it’s big and
impressive.
Okay girls lets be real here. Dreaming and lusting for that
big 5 carat rock is just fine. No problem with dreaming, but
when it comes time for your man to buy that ring remember that
the ring is not what you are marrying so perhaps it’s time to
consider the quality and quantity of the husband to be rather
than the ring.
Big diamond or little diamond it doesn’t matter as long as
the two of you are blissfully happy. Let the celebrities wear
their big diamonds and let them sparkle and shine in the lime
light. It doesn’t matter because you got your man! That’s what
counts!
