The summer months bring the most popular time of the year for weddings. In fact, the most popular and most desired month to be wed is June. With the flowers in full bloom, trees freshly coated in green leaves and the weather ideal, June has long been the preferred month for weddings (at least in North America).

Of course, before a wedding can take place and engagement must be proposed! And along with an engagement comes an engagement ring. It seems the first response people have to a newly engaged couple is, “Show me the ring!” (You’d think it ought to be “Congratulations!” but that generally follows the showing of the ring.)

An engagement ring is quite the investment. Rings can range anywhere from less than $1,000 to more than $20,000! Most engagement rings probably fall below the $5,000 mark, but even at several hundred dollars this can be a large investment to anyone.

Luckily you can turn to Bidz.com for your engagement ring needs. We offer a fresh selection of diamond engagement rings in our online auctions each day. Take a look at what we have to offer today and every day. We hope you’ll find the ring of your dreams!

A woman’s wedding day is often planned for six months to a year, sometimes longer. Everything is considered from the bridal bouquet to the little place setting name tags. Nothing is left unconsidered, including the jewelry the bride will wear on the big day.

Always popular in bridal jewelry is the pearl. Freshwater or saltwater, pearls are absolutely gorgeous. Pearls worn at weddings are generally white, but the color variety in pearls allows for a bit of color to be mixed in with white on the wedding day.

The ancient Greeks believed that pearls were the tears of the sea nymphs. In mythology, pearl necklaces became the symbol of a happy marriage—pearls were believed to make your eyes shine and to guard you from unhappy love, thus pearls have been associated
with weddings ever since.

Here are a few tips to help this season’s last-minute bridal shoppers, especially those with an up-to-the-minute fashion sense:

• Chandelier earrings look fabulous on brides wearing an updo.
• A bold cuff bracelet or choker makes a statement and stands out exceptionally well when worn with a strapless gown.
• Tiaras accented with crystals, pearls or both work with practically any hairstyle and most gowns.
• When it comes to metals, platinum and white gold are most appealing when worn with a white gown, and yellow gold is the best choice for an ivory gown.
