Ah, marriage. What a wonderful institution! And certainly full of traditions.

One such tradition is the engagement ring, marking the commitment a couple has made for marriage in the (hopefully near) future. Engagement rings are often a large part of the whole wedding and marriage process. When a woman announces that she is engaged, the first thing people want to do is see the ring! Then they want to hear all about the proposal…but that’s another story altogether.

Let’s face it: engagement rings can be very pricey. The traditional engagement ring is a diamond solitaire. If the ring were a simple band the price wouldn’t be such an issue, but once that rock is placed on top the cost can skyrocket!

Luckily for those engagement ring shoppers out there, Bidz.com carries a gorgeous always-changing variety of affordable engagement rings. We carry yellow gold, white gold and platinum rings. We carry traditional diamond solitaire styles as well as more ornate rings and rings with stones other than diamond. There is plenty to bid on, and with a new selection daily you’ll want to check back often.

Congrats on your upcoming nuptials, and good luck bidding!

“The Ritz-Carlton hotel in Roppongi, a trendy district in Tokyo, serves a “diamond-tini” with a 1.06-carat diamond for $15,000. For that extravagant price, the server does more than just plop the drink down on a napkin and walk away. The presentation includes tableside preparation and the song “Diamonds Are Forever” playing in the background as the stone floats to the bottom of the glass. A ring mounting by a local jeweler at a later date is also part of the package.”

“The modern word sapphire is derived from the ancient Latin tern “Sapphirus” which means “The Stone of Saturn”.

Sapphire blue has thus become a colour related to anything permanent and reliable, and this is one of the reasons why women in many countries settle on sapphire for their engagement rings.
The most famous musical example for this melancholic shade of blue can be found in George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue.”
