Marriage is a serious commitment for both parties and should always be treated with some degree of seriousness as there are financial aspects that could cause issues. When you purchase the ring, you are often spending many months worth of salary on a symbol that stands for love through all eternity. While many marriages do end up in divorce, it is usually many years after the marriage has taken place and both parties agree that things aren’t working out the way they expected. It can be quite hard on both sides as they want things to work out so badly. Other times, both parties realize during the engagement period that things are not going to work and part as friendly as possible.
A recent situation has arisen regarding an engagement ring, a Hummer and a failed engagement. In this case, the man, James Mekalian , gave his fiancée a ring worth over $50,000 and a 2006 Hummer. Both were gifts as he was sure he was going to marry this woman, but now he wants both back as he feels he has been duped. He originally asked her for the ring and Hummer back, but she has not responded so he feels he has no other recourse but to sue her for the items. The value is rather high and he feels that she was with him for his money and not for love. Many times, the couple will agree on certain terms after the break up, but in this case, it is not so clear. Continue reading »
Diamonds are a natural resource that we will eventually run out of one day in the future, but no one knows how long that will take. Like other natural resources such as oil, diamonds are created well below the surface of the earth and there are finite amounts of each. When we mine diamonds, we do some damage to the round and do cause a bit of trouble with Mother Nature, but the demand is very high for the gems and we justify in that way, but many believe that diamond mining is much worse for the environment than the experts believe. Sustainable jewelry is the use of lab-created stones including diamonds and recycling materials that have already been mined or have come to the surface to be conscious of what we are doing to Planet earth. The designers who use these materials are often very Earth-conscious and want to preserve Mother Nature as best as they can. It often takes much longer to create a socially-conscious piece as the use of found materials can be very limiting and the designer must be very creative in his or her choices for the designs.
