Jewelry has been a lifelong fascination for me. I grew up watching my mother shop for jewelry for her growing collection and I learned alot. Those excursions engrained in me a love for high quality jewelry. I wish to not only share my experiences but also facts and interesting stories about everything from Amethysts to Zircon. Join me as I look at jewels and the people who love them from around the world.

The Royal Ring! And its counterpart...
I almost peed my pants late last night when I saw a commercial for the official replica of the engagement ring that Kate Middleton is wearing. What a fantastic ring!!! The real ‘Royal Ring’ consists of an oval Ceylon Sapphire which is a whooping 12-carats and is surrounded by 14 round cut Diamonds. The word on the street is that the ring could have been purchased by anyone in the public if they merely had the money to buy it. It wasn’t a unique or one of a kind design and isn’t that just like Diana? A princess for the people! Now it rests on the lovely hand of Ms. Middleton. What a proud but probably intimidating moment for her.
And now we can have it too. Well a replica of it. It boasts an oval faceted faux Ceylon Sapphire equaling 5.65-carats and is surrounded by 8 oval Diamond x4 CZ’s equaling 3.60-carats.
I remember very clearly how popular the ‘Titanic Necklace’ was and I wonder if this ring can match or surpass that pieces popularity.
