Proposal Idea: Falling For The Chef

Mitch and I met in our final year at culinary school. We struck up a conversation one day after class and which ended with him asking me to dinner.  I reluctantly agreed and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Our relationship just ” felt right” from the moment it started and we knew that we were meant to be with each other.  As I tell my friends, “When you know, you know”. We had been dating for a little over a year when we decided to move into together and making plans for our future.

One afternoon we were getting ready for a family BBQ and Mitch asked me to run upstairs and grab his “BBQ shoes” – and yes, he has BBQ shoes.  As I headed down the stairs, BBQ shoes in hand, Mitch kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the stairs and holding an open ring box.  I was so surprised by the moment that I actually fell down the last few steps, landing on Mitch.  As we laughed, he asked “I guess that’s a yes?”

It’s been over 10 years since that day and we still laugh about that story.  Not only did it change our lives forever but it still makes us a little windy when we recall that day.  I literally fell for my chef…and I continue to fall in love with him more every day.

Proposal Idea: The Prize

saint louis engagement ring for 10% above wholesaleAfter dating for five years, Jill knew that it was a matter of time before John popped the question. One winter evening they went ice skating at an outdoor rink. Excusing himself, John went to purchase a couple of sodas, a bag of popcorn and a box of Cracker Jacks.

The rush of being a kid again came over Jill as she saw the box of Cracker Jacks. She was so excited to rip the top off and find the prize that awaited her inside. After every handful, she would reach deeper in the box, feeling around for that famous little toy.  Much to her surprise, a large smile filled her face … she found it.

As she pulled the toy from the box, a look of astonishment came across her face. It wasn’t the little paper covering with little jack on it, but a rice paper envelope with a diamond ring inside.  A small tear ran down her face as John slowly grabbed her hand and knelt down. He looked up at her and asked; “Will you marry me”? As John slowly put the ring on her finger, Jill with a tear running down her face said; “John, I will marry you”!

A platinum engagement & wedding ring is more affordable than ever

Wedding RingsPlatinum has always been cherished for its purity, versatility, and naturally white metallurgical properties. A good jeweler knows that no other metal has the ability to reflect the radiance of a near colorless diamond like platinum. Platinum won’t wear away, doesn’t fade or tarnish, and will retain its naturally white color forever. In addition, it is hypoallergenic and its immense popularity for fine jewelry can also be attributed to its durability.

Platinum is the rarest of metals, and it used to be that the high cost of this treasured material made it unaffordable to many people. Luckily, that has changed recently. It seems that the spiraling economy may actually be responsible for this opportunity to purchase platinum. Automakers account for about half of the world’s platinum demand, as platinum is used in the production of catalytic converters. When fewer cars being manufactured, the demand for platinum decreases.

Although the demand for the precious metal has decreased, the platinum miners in South Africa have continued production. South Africa produces about 80% of the world’s platinum supply, so the steady operation of their mines greatly impacts platinum prices. If they continue production, the prices may continue to fall. Some industry watchers believe another factor in the price decrease is that the price of platinum had simply gone too high for the market to bear. When the price reached a high of $2,300 an ounce, it became far too expensive for most jewelry consumers who could choose white gold as an acceptable alternative.

All these various factors have combined to create a “perfect storm” that has put platinum within the reach of many more people. This is a great time to buy rings, necklaces, or jewelry of any kind. Whether you want diamond earrings that will sparkle to their best advantage, or if you want to update your wedding bands to platinum to celebrate an anniversary milestone, now is the time to invest in this valuable metal. The downturn in our economy has certainly been a challenge for most of us, but perhaps this is one cloud that has a platinum lining.

Why Platinum?

How do I love thee? Let me count the carats.

istock_000008282798xsmallThere is nothing that will make a woman’s heart pound faster than the sight of a small square gift box in the hand of the man she loves. It’s one of the most anticipated moments of her life and one that she may have been secretly rehearsing since she first realized he was the one. This is a moment that will be remembered by her forever, and it’s important for the diamond to be just as special. After all a diamond is the ultimate symbol of love.

The size and style of diamond engagement rings vary through time, often indicating a change in the average income or the cost of diamonds. Today, brides-to-be seem to prefer at least a 1.5-carat diamond in their ring. They know that a larger diamond shows off the cut and color of a fine stone in a way a smaller one cannot. In addition, the current generation of brides includes a demographic that is well-educated and career-oriented. These women have worked hard for their success and are more likely to desire a unique engagement ring that reflect who they are. And while it is always important to remember that a man’s love is not measured by the size or cost of a ring, it’s also fair to recognize that this is a piece of jewelry this woman will be wearing everyday for the rest of her life and it should reflect her own personal style.

Since women have their own unique tastes in jewelry, I recommend a couple choose to shop for their engagement ring together. A diamond jeweler can offer information and guidance to get them started on the road to finding the perfect symbol of their love. Some couples will seek the services of an engagement ring custom designer, while others may look for discount engagement rings on the Internet. Some couples may prefer a jeweler to whom they will return to purchase their wedding rings. There is no right or wrong way to go about it, but it’s important to take the time to get exactly what she wants. If the price of 2-carat diamond seems expensive, there is the option of a 1.75 carat diamond or a diamond with less clarity or color. Size alone doesn’t determine the value, so it may very well be possible to purchase the carat size she truly wants. When in doubt, I often advise my clients to make the most of the opportunity to get it right the first time. My former associates at De Beers made a significant influence on the  purchase with the two months salary guideline.. Most importantly, remember that the true value of a diamond engagement ring lies in the decades it will be worn and how many times your future wife will look at it and smile.
