Wedding Wreck Wednesday!

Congratulations on your Engagement..now what?

After sharing the news of your engagement with both your parents, make sure you call your insurance company to insure your ring.

Question to ask when choosing a policy:

• Is the ring covered if you lose it accidentally, or only if it's stolen?


• How will the company replace the ring -- with a check? Or will they require you to purchase a replacement through a specified jeweler?


• What if it's a vintage ring or other unique piece? How will the quality and size of your diamond -- and that of a replacement if needed -- be documented?


• Is the ring insured to full cost or a fraction of it?


• How will you need to prove the ring vanished if you make a claim?


• Are there any circumstances that aren't covered? (What if your ring flies off at the circus and gets trampled by elephants, for example?)

Putting a policy on your engagement ring may sound unromantic, but nothing's sweeter than peace of mind.

Black Magic

Diamonds are definitely forever, but if you are looking for a modern edge in your wedding jewelry, try black diamonds. Black diamonds share many of the positive qualities of a clear white diamond. They are extremely hard stones, which makes diamonds an excellent choice for an engagement ring as there is little danger of the diamond chipping, becoming discolored, or generally showing wear. A black diamond also has some of the inner fire that is found in clear white diamonds. It may sound strange, but even very small black diamonds will reflect the light and these sparkle and shine when light hits the facets.

For the "Little" People in your Wedding

If you are including young children in your wedding, did you do anything special to ask your ring bearer(s) and/or flower girl(s)?

I found these cute books on Amazon and think they would be perfect for your littlest attendants. I think that the books will prepare them for their responsibilities and will make a nice memento.

Diamonds are a "Princess" best friend

What fairytale wedding wouldn’t be complete with a Disney diamond ring?

Clothing designer Kirstie Kelly, who launched a line of Disney character-inspired wedding gowns and bridesmaid and flower girl dresses a few years ago, has added a line of diamond engagement and wedding rings to the collection.

Kelly unveiled six rings with matching wedding bands, under the label “Kirstie Kelly for Disney by Mouawad,” as part of Bridal Fashion Week.

Each ring design, like the gowns, is inspired by one of six Disney princesses including Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Princess Jasmine from “Aladdin,” Ariel from “The Little Mermaid,” and Belle from “Beauty and the Beast.”

“It’s different, in the sense that there’s a story behind each princess,” Kelly told the National Jeweler.

The sparklers retail for $1,200 to $6,000.
