a popular ROCK

If there was ever a time when saying “love is in the air” could be uttered without fear of sounding clichéd, this is definitely it. There is something about the sun visiting longer and more often that seems to encourage people to pop the question as if they were asking to pass the salt. Apparently, even celebrities cannot escape this special kind of fever; as rumours and news about Mariah Carey, Scarlett Johansson and Ashley Simpson and their respective adjacent males can not be silenced. But even though every corny part of ourselves would like to fully believe that love and only love is what you need —just like the Beatles sung— I can’t but come to think that engagements have another protagonist, one so precious in such a way that seems to keep the attention from the groom although he is ultimately responsible for it. That is the ring.
However, an engagement ring is not only a ring, it does not matter if it is made of silver or gold or platinum; it is all about the rock. As long as the fiancé-period goes, the ring is the one and only on the spotlight, for it somehow represents the vows to be exchanged. Because of this, because of the importance of the diamond itself I wondered if things were still made traditionally, that is —making a trip to Tiffany’s and going through the rocks section enjoying a glass of Moët— or if the modern times we now live in have managed to come up with new manners in which to find the perfect ring. I was much surprised when I found Abazias.com, a diamond seller on the web.
Women don’t want just any ring, they want something different, unique; this calls for new ways of finding the perfect ring for them. Abazias gives you the chance to design the engagement ring yourself! Choose among different shapes (from the classics, to heart or pear-shaped), colours, carats and clarity ranges… and of course, you can also adjust the price to your needs. It seems the perfect solution for all those men struggling either to find or pay the ring they feel is in order. I don’t know about you but I find this method not only very imaginative and innovative, but quite revolutionary too. In addition, the web also offers a selection of jewellery, watches and, of course, wedding rings so you can log out having the whole package.
Anyway, pals, the time to keep blaming the good ol’ jewellers for their lack of originality and astronomical prices is gone. Even this can’t escape the Internet fever. But they will love us for taking the time to do it. After all, they are a girl’s best friend.

I'm off.

I defy you to find anything as interesting on that website as what I've designed. People should get themselves a good jeweler who can make them a beautiful custom piece.

If I get proposed (ever) it had better not be with a diamond ring--big and sparkly yes, typical no thank you!

i dunno i never understood women's obsessions with diamond rings, i mean they're pretty and all, but some people judge how much the man love them by how big the diamond is. my parents never had wedding rings and if i even get married i dont think i will either

I really liked the ring that Jude Law gave Sienna Miller. It was quite different and it really suited her.

Yes, you are so right! Now, it is not about wedding ring, but it has become a rock competition! The bigger the better! I really like vintage one... a lot of work! The stones are smaller, but really detail and beautiful xx
