Record-breaking Diamond Ring To Debut– Did ‘The Donald’ Get Trumped?

There are certain things in life that are better left unsaid. If a woman is looking a bit puffy around the middle, you don’t dare ask her if she’s preggers, right? If your boss has his fly down in the middle of a presentation, better wait until the power point comes to a close before pointing out the obvious. In the land of diamond rings, the unspoken rule is, well, bigger is most definitely better.

Don't worry, guys. We know you can't all be "The Donald", who is rumored to hold the record for buying a rock worth $2 million for current wife, Melania. But let a girl dream, won't you?

No one knows this better than Czech Republic-based ALO Jewelry, who plans to debut the most expensive jewel ever made in the country during a Prague jewelry fair in October. According to the Prague Daily Monitor, the gold ring will support a diamond worth close to $1 million, and model Petra Nemcova will be the lucky lady to show it off to the gawking public.

"The demand for luxurious jewelery has definitely been on the increase," says Aloiz Ryšavý, owner of ALO. "Anyone can afford a diamond jewel nowadays," Ryšavý adds.

Well, maybe not THIS diamond jewel. But I would be happy to, say, guard it for them if they need any special assistance. In the meantime, maybe Melania needs a babysitter…

Two Diamond Engagement Rings, One Couple!

Presenting a diamond ring on bended knee has long been the traditional way to seal the deal when it comes to a proposal of marriage. The man agonizes over how exactly to pop the question (and how big a rock he can afford). The woman feigns surprise (even though she knew this day was long in coming – perhaps a little too long). Tears flow...And scene. But this ritual may soon be recast and revamped by a bevy of gay couples who are rewriting the way a proposal goes down.

According to E! online, Heather Matarazzo, best known for her gawky roles in Welcome to the Dollhouse and The Princess Diaries, proposed to her girlfriend, Caroline Murphy, last week. Because they don’t have the traditional male-female roles, they BOTH popped the question. “It was really cute,” says Matarazzo’s publicist, Lisa Jammal. “First Heather proposed to Caroline, then Caroline proposed to her!” Good for them, and good for the jewelry industry, no?

And the bling? There will always be fans of the tried-and-true diamond solitaire. But The Jewelry Insider looks forward to seeing some new designs on the ring finger as more and more couples (gay and straight) put their own stamp on the ritual. Diamond right hand rings, with their multitude of stylings, are starting their migration left. Gemstones such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires can offset a diamond or replace it altogether, if you so desire. And guys are getting in on the act by creating unique interpretations of the (snore) traditional gold band.

No matter who you are or who you love, the good news is the engagement ring is opening its doors to more looks and now more and more fingers. Lindsay and Sam - -are you taking notes?
