<p style="line-height:14.25pt;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-family:&#34;">Elegant engagement rings can assume a variety of styles, but one characteristic in common is a graceful form. The design can be intricate but must be secure, to keep the diamond from being lost. Six prong settings can in this way offer that little bit of added security. Having said this, four claw settings are normally substantial in the claw or prong thickness to safeguard against this. The above design shows a variation on the simple Tiffany style of setting, with a geometric pattern incorporated in an open six claw setting. The design sits about 6mm off the finger and brings the centre of attention to the diamond itself. The style of this <a href="http://www.serendipitydiamonds.co.uk/">engagement ring </a>is elaborate enough to catch the eye, yet steals nothing from the diamond itself, which is most definately the star of the show.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ringbox.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/6_44_ct_oval_diamond_antique_engagement_ring_platinum.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-124" title="6_44_ct_oval_diamond_antique_engagement_ring_platinum" src="http://ringbox.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/6_44_ct_oval_diamond_antique_engagement_ring_platinum.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="137" /></a>Leave it to Miss Manners to clear up <a href="http://www.contracostatimes.com/relationships/ci_10690254">a major issue</a> for jewelry inheritors. Is it appropriate to wear an ancestor's engagement ring even if you're not engaged or married and never plan on being?</p>
<p>Today, a reader asked the following question:</p>
<p>"DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am in my 50s, have never been married and I have no children, sisters, nieces or nephews. Being the only granddaughter, I inherited two diamond engagement rings from my grandmothers. They both have great sentimental value to me.</p>
<p class="bodytextragright">Would it be improper to wear them on my right-hand fingers? It's a waste to let nice rings just sit in a box."</p>
<p class="bodytextragright">Miss Manners replies by saying that, because they once were her grandmother's rings but are now hers, they are no longer engagement rings but instead "Family Rings."</p>
<p><a href="http://ringbox.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/ringbox_2023_416827382.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-125" title="ringbox_2023_416827382" src="http://ringbox.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/ringbox_2023_416827382.jpg" alt="" width="112" height="112" /></a>For those interested in the concept of family rings, no need to wait for a relative to leave you a special ring. Consider John Christian's Continuous Life <a href="http://www.john-christian.com/mothersrings.html">Mothers' Rings</a>, which feature the names of children and family members; and also the <a href="http://www.john-christian.com/gofacrri.html">Family Crest rings</a>. Just provide your name and country of origin and the John Christian jewelers will do the rest.</p>
<p>They truly are "instant heirlooms."</p>

<p><strong>I Can't Get Over How Amazing My Ring Is!</strong> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png" alt="5" /> by .. Aimee (Arizona)<br />My fiancé proposed to me on July 3, 2007 with this ring in hand.  The minute I saw it, I started crying-- I couldn't believe how gorgeous it was!  </p>
<p>Moissanite is an amazing stone.  It has even more sparkle than diamonds and let me tell you-- with light hitting it, the stone is truly dazzling.  </p>
<p>The biggest reason why we had discussed moissanite over diamond was how "clean" it is-- with moissanite, you never have to worry that you're getting a conflict, or "blood," diamonds.  No matter how much the salesperson reassures you that their store doesn't buy conflict diamonds, how can you be truly sure?  With moissanite, that worry is eliminated.  Of course, the price doesn't hurt as well... :-)</p>
<p>Our wedding is coming up on October 17, and I truly feel that this ring is the crowning piece to my "princess" wedding day! </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:12pt;" lang="EN-CA">Once upon a time there lived a man (M) in Windsor and a  woman (W) in Michigan. They met, got engaged, M bought W a $15,000 ring, and  they put a down-payment on a house in Michigan. Alas, this was not a “happily  every after” story, and a dispute over title to the future matrimonial home led  to a demise of this particular relationship. Lending credence to the old adage  of hell and fury, the engagement ended with not one, but two legal action  launched by W against M: one in Michigan, in relation to the now-sold  matrimonial home, in which M countersued for the return of the ring and his  portion of the down-payment; and one in Ontario, for a declaration that she is  the lawful owner of the ring, and for payment of incurred wedding expenses.  Faced with this barrage, M successfully moved to stay the Ontario action,  arguing that Michigan, where most of the witnesses were located, was <em><span style="font-style:italic;">forum conveniens. </span></em></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:12pt;" lang="EN-CA">What it is interesting about the decision of  Master Pope in <strong><em><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"><a title="http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onsc/doc/2008/2008canlii49153/2008canlii49153.html" href="http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onsc/doc/2008/2008canlii49153/2008canlii49153.html">Buxar  v. Lukich</a> </span></em></strong>is not just the (somewhat) droll subject matter,  but the court's recognition and disapproval of W’s actions, which effectively amounted  to forum shopping. Specifically, the Master found that W’s action in Ontario was  motivated by her desire to gain a juridical advantage, since Michigan law  effectively precluded her claim for the engagement ring, deeming it to be a  conditional gift to be completed upon marriage. Following the guidance of  <strong><em><span style="font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;">Amchem</span></em></strong>,  which decried forum shopping, Master Pope weighed the forum shopping conclusion  in favour of staying the action.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:12pt;" lang="EN-CA">On the facts of the case, it is likely that the stay  would have been granted anyways, since most of the <strong><em>Muscutt </em></strong>FNC factors clearly favoured  Michigan. However, future litigants beware: a forum shopping litigant is not  likely to find much love in Canadian courts.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>aren't we the people that blog all narcissists?? believing that we're interesting enough that someone somehwere is reading our rambling...</p>
<p>yup...</p>
<p>anyway, a list of all the things I want? why not?</p>
<p>we'll start this category off with something really obscene...mind you I took a picture of this in a magazine yesterday with my camera phone and sent it to my boyfriend...</p>
<p>yeah I know...normally, doing that or posting this would be perceived (justifiably so) as psycho girl hinting to boyfriend it's time to give in and buy the ring...but yeah that's so not me...plus we have a long running joke of doing outrageous and stupid things and saying stupid things to "play" annoy each other...</p>
<p>so really it's just that I saw this and thought "ooooh purty!"<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"><span lang="EN-US">Several factors should be involved when choosing and purchasing an <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?PageIndex=3&#38;cat1=18">engagement ring.</a><span> </span>The first factor is cost.<span> </span>Some of the younger generation are beginning the rest of their lives and cannot afford a large <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?PageIndex=4&#38;cat1=18">diamond ring.</a><span> </span>Some divorcees may want to outdo the previous spouse in the selection of the ring.<span> </span>Others have actually tattooed a ring on the fingers to symbolize a piece of jewelry.<span> </span>However, spending wisely on this most important item is sure to produce the desired results!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?PageIndex=5&#38;cat1=18">Engagement rings</a> vary in price from under a hundred dollars to infinity almost.<span> </span>Platinum is a common choice for <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?cat1=39&#38;cat2=129">engagement rings</a> due to its strength and durability.<span> </span>White gold is often less expensive with somewhat of the same look as platinum.<span> </span>White gold is almost half the price, but will not usually last as long as an expensive platinum ring. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"><span lang="EN-US">An <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?PageIndex=2&#38;cat1=39&#38;cat2=129">engagement ring</a> should not cause financial hardship, but should be regarded as a stepping stone to the all important wedding day.<span> </span>Most women will display the ring proudly, no matter what the cost.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"><span lang="EN-US">Last, but not least, make sure the ring is sized correctly.<span> </span>Perhaps her mother knows her ring size.<span> </span>You may have access to another ring to use to correctly size her <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?cat1=39&#38;cat2=130&#38;cat3=132">engagement ring.</a><span> </span>No woman would want to return a newly received ring to be resized.<span> </span>A properly sized ring will show her you are considerate about the smaller details.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"><span lang="EN-US">It is important to consider the wedding band that will accompany the <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?cat1=108&#38;cat2=112&#38;cat3=114">engagement ring.</a><span> </span>It need not be purchased as a set; however, it should be of the same precious metal and style as the <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?cat1=108&#38;cat2=112&#38;cat3=115">engagement ring.</a><span> </span>These jewelry pieces are meant to last a lifetime and should look good doing so!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;" lang="EN-US">Getting married to someone is something special and therefore it is important to choose a wedding ring that symbolizes this importance. <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?cat1=19&#38;cat2=24">Platinum wedding rings</a> are perfect to exchange on that special day, because they are everlasting just like the marriage should be. There are many designs to choose from and qualities so you will have to narrow down the <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?PageIndex=5&#38;cat1=19&#38;cat2=24">platinum wedding rings</a> to the ones most suitable for your taste.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>

Unlike other materials, <a href="http://rivazge.com">platinum wedding rings</a> do not corrode, tarnish or get any cracks in them. Although they are strong, <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?PageIndex=16&#38;cat1=19&#38;cat2=24">platinum wedding rings</a> can show scratches, but that is not a problem at all. The rings can easily be buffed and that will remove any signs of scratches from the <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?cat1=19&#38;cat2=23">platinum wedding rings </a>and they will look like new again. Buffing only has to be done on platinum wedding rings if there is a need to. Otherwise, the platinum wedding rings keep their great shine and are very low maintenance. <span> </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:12pt;" lang="EN-US">Those that purchase <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?PageIndex=5&#38;cat1=19&#38;cat2=23">platinum wedding rings</a> will pay a bit more for the material, but in return also get the best precious metal available for jewelry that has many advantages over other commonly used materials like gold or silver. It is not as abundant as gold which adds to the price, but the qualities are what set <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?PageIndex=9&#38;cat1=19&#38;cat2=23">platinum wedding rings</a> apart from the rest.

Popular designs for <a href="http://rivazge.com">platinum wedding rings</a> are the Celtic knot, Greek and classical styles. Engravings are also common on platinum wedding rings. A simple wedding band even looks good in platinum, but if a gemstone is added then <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?cat1=105">platinum wedding rings</a> look spectacular. If you have the resources, you can even have your own platinum wedding rings made according to a design you created yourself.

Since platinum wedding rings will be with you for a lifetime, it is worth every penny. However, if you are on a strict budget or would just like to save money then it is worth asking at different stores for their prices on <a href="http://rivazge.com">wedding rings.</a> You may get a discount at one or the other and many stores have sales so you might find the same <a href="http://rivazge.com/categories.asp?cat1=19&#38;cat2=98">platinum wedding rings</a> cost less at one jeweler than the others so it is worth the time to check around before making a purchase.</span></p>

Sorry mate, wasn&#8217;t listening! What were you saying again?

Pfffft! It sounded like you said I]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1222" title="cooneymedal1" src="http://halfbackflanker.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/cooneymedal1.jpg" alt="" width="497" height="486" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Sorry mate, wasn't listening! What were you saying again?</strong></em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1223" title="cooneymedal2" src="http://halfbackflanker.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/cooneymedal2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="520" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Pfffft! It sounded like you said I've just won the Brownlow...that's pretty funny!!</strong></em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1224" title="cooneymedal3" src="http://halfbackflanker.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/cooneymedal3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="531" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Oh, I did just win the Brownlow...frickin' sweet!!! </strong></em></p>
<p>Brownlow babes, botched vote counting, burger rings and a bloody happy Bulldog! <a href="http://afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=68080" target="_blank">That summed up last night's Brownlow Medal count</a> which was won by...<a href="http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/its-adams-eve/2008/09/23/1221935557459.html" target="_blank">somebody who doesn't play for Geelong</a>. Adam Cooney of the Western Bulldogs was rewarded for a fine season by squeezing past Brisbane's Simon Black <a href="http://afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=68078" target="_blank">to win the 2008 Brownlow Medal by one vote</a>. Cooney hit the lead with one round remaining and then endured an agonising final round of votes as, one by one, his closest rivals were left disappointed as they failed to poll in round 22.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1225" title="ablettmedalmiss" src="http://halfbackflanker.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/ablettmedalmiss.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="436" /></p>
<p><em><strong><a href="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24388711-19742,00.html" target="_blank">Ablett falls just short again</a>...and yes, Jimmy Bartel, it's all your fault!</strong></em></p>
<p>Of course, the evening started with <a href="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/large-gallery/0,25410,5034644-5017792-1,00.html" target="_blank">that traditional display of football brutes and beauties, the Red Carpet special</a>...which is meant to be all about what the girls look like in their frocks. However, Channel Ten's focus was more on finding out who everybody was wearing rather than actually showing the whole dress. The cameras barely panned lower than boob level, meaning that you rarely caught a meaningful glimpse of any of the dresses. Not that we are complaining...</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1213" title="gramkaiti" src="http://halfbackflanker.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/gramkaiti.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="507" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Oi! What are you lookin' at? Eyes off the merchandise!</strong></em></p>
<p>Ooops...sorry, Grammy! Anyway, once the medal count kicked off, <a href="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24388710-19742,00.html" target="_blank">AFL supremo Andrew Demetriou appeared determined to set a cracking pace as he powered through the early votes</a>. Perhaps he wanted the medal count to end on the same day as it started, or maybe he needed to get home by 11:30pm in order to flick on Channel Seven and watch <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0496424/" target="_blank"><em>30 Rock</em></a> (<em><a href="http://www.theinsider.com/news/1206938__30_Rock_Rules_60th_Emmy_Awards" target="_blank">awesome show, just won an Emmy</a>...and Channel Seven play it around midnight? Idiots!</em>) But by<a href="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24388691-19742,00.html" target="_blank"> jumping straight into the round two votes, skipping the opening round entirely</a>, the D threw the entire room into temporary chaos...and hysterics! Very entertaining...totally unintentional, of course, but great viewing!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1219" title="andydcount" src="http://halfbackflanker.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/andydcount.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="479" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Getting ahead of yourself, Andy D? Everybody know that you take footy one week at a time...even Adrian Anderson is laughing at you!<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>Once Channel Ten figured out how to get the count back on track, the votes started flying for the likes of Black, Cooney and Matthew Richardson - who appeared to be the people's favourite judging by the screams of 'Richo' every time he chalked up votes. Bookies favourite Gary Ablett remained within striking distance while last year's winner Jimmy Bartel twiddled his thumbs waiting for some love from the umpires.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1217" title="harveyguard1" src="http://halfbackflanker.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/harveyguard1.jpg" alt="" width="499" height="397" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Robert Harvey has now walked through more guards of honour than he has played VFL/AFL seasons!</strong></em></p>
<p>After yet another tribute to retiring St Kilda great Robert Harvey, and some other puff-pieces, the countdown to the final rounds began and it was here that things got really interesting. Black's early lead was slowly eroded away as Ablett, Cooney and Richo each made up ground before a best-on-ground effort in round 21 from the young Bulldog put him into the lead. That is where he stayed and it was champagne, speeches and <a href="http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24388648-19742,00.html" target="_blank">that classic burger/engagement ring story</a>.</p>
<p>Cooney was as shocked as those people who placed good money on a few Geelong players when he won the medal. It was clear that he didn't have a speech prepared but, like the D's vote counting stuff-up, it was refreshing to see something off-the-cuff and totally unplanned. Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade, who Cooney actually forgot to thank, <a href="http://afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=68083" target="_blank">believes that the Brownlow win will not change Cooney at all</a>...we hope that he is right!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>WARNING: Twilight Spoilers ahead! BEWARE!!!</strong></p>
<p>You <em>KNOW</em> that fans will sporting this stuff left and right once it becomes available (can you believe that you can buy a replica of <a title="engagement ring" href="http://twilightteez.com/product_info.php?products_id=74" target="_blank">Bella Swan's engagement ring</a> online? Crazy, I know). Why am I so interested in the Cullen crest from the <a title="Twilight series" href="http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilightseries.html" target="_blank">Twilight series</a>?! Because it has three <a title="shamrock" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamrock" target="_blank">shamrocks</a> on it! P.S. I'm as Irish as it gets and I simple gravitate towards these things</p>
<p>I'm also a big believer in things that pay homage to history and family (hence, the tiny shamrock tattoo that adorns my skin). It's a promotion of unity. :)</p>

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Cullen Coven Crest</dd>
</dl>
<p>The crest was created for the <a title="Twilight Movie" href="http://www.twilightthemovie.com/" target="_blank">Twilight movie</a> by <a title="cullen crest" href="http://www.artisansdesigns.com/twilightmovie.html" target="_blank">Artisan's Designs</a>, who owns the above photo (which I <em>think</em> is Esme Cullen's crest ring). The <a title="Twilight Lexicon" href="http://www.twilightlexiconblog.com/?p=1073" target="_blank">Twilight Lexicon has a great post</a> on the possible meaning behind the crest's images. Oh, and the crest is NOT YET available for purchase...stay tuned, Twilighters.</div>
