83rd Academy Awards bring out the best in diamond jewellery

1/03/2011

 

The 83rd Academy Awards, or the Oscars as they are more commonly known, predictably brought out the best in the world’s diamonds and gemstones. The best actresses on the globe modelled all sorts of jewellery, particularly diamond dress rings, many of which are available here at Mad About Diamonds.

Diamond dress rings out in force at the Oscars...

The ceremony, in which Colin Firth wiped the floor with his competitors following his performance in the King’s Speech, saw an array of cocktail rings, emerald jewellery and beautiful earrings as everybody dressed to impress. Again, many of the designs on display at the Oscars can be found at this very website.

Firth was accompanied by wife Livia, who wore jewellery made from fair-trade and fair -mined gold, set with ethically sourced aquamarine gemstones from designer Anna Loucah. She said; “More and more actresses seem to be championing the cause and I think having one-wear jewellery made from ethically sourced materials on the red carpet sends out a really positive message.”

If any of the beautiful diamond dress rings or eternity rings caught your eye then please explore the Mad About Diamonds website. We can customise any ring to suit your particular needs and they are crafted in our state of the art workshop. The Mad About Diamonds website may also be of help and is ever so easy to use.

Sapphires outselling traditional diamonds

24/02/2011

 

As we often say here at Mad About Diamonds, a diamond is a girl’s best friend! But is that necessarily the case? Historically, diamonds have been the most popular choice when it comes to engagement rings, but recent trends suggest that sapphires are quickly becoming more dominant. Not to worry though as we have an extensive range of both diamond engagement rings and sapphires here at Mad About Diamonds.

Sapphires to take over traditional diamonds?

In a survey done by ‘Bride to Be Cost of Love’, the popularity of sapphires has more than doubled since 2008. Kate Middleton’s choice of diamond engagement ring is thought to drive this trend yet further in the coming months.

When Charles and Diana married in 1981, the very same ring sparked a very similar change in the market as brides to be looked to emulate the Royals.

Young engagement ring buyers are also going for white gold engagement rings and princess cut diamond engagement rings and the price range for these rings is currently in £3,500 to £10,000 bracket.

So, if all this has got you in the mood or if you are currently looking for a stunning sapphire or diamond engagement ring then take a look around the Mad About Diamonds site.

We’re sorry to keep going on about it guys, but we’re in the business of beautiful diamond engagement rings and we have found some more juicy gossip about Kate Middleton’s beauty! Mad About Diamonds have a range of gorgeous diamond engagement rings much like the Queen-to-be’s so go and have a butchers!

The ring is the same one that Prince Charles bought for Diana when they got engaged and at the time it cost a staggering £300,000. With today’s economy and the changes in the market that means the stunning piece of jewellery would fetch a near six-figure sum!

To put that into perspective, following the surge in diamond engagement ring sales this Valentine’s Day we have been able to calculate how much we mere mortals are spending on engagement rings. For the average British couple their ring will cost in the region of a modest £1,400.
