“The Perfect Pink,” a flawless pink diamond, officially became the most expensive jewelery auction sale in Asia after bringing in a cool $23,165,968 million. An anonymous buyer emerged victorious from the cutthroat bidding war to claim the 14.23 carat prize.

The emerald cut pink diamond was nestled between a pair of D-flawless diamonds with a combined total of 3.40 carats. All three emerald diamonds were set on an 18k white gold ring band.

The diamond was the most expensive lot at Christie’s Hong Kong auction. A spokesperson from Christie’s called the Perfect Pink “a phenomenon in the world of gems,” partially due to the diamond’s perfect coloring and type IIa classification. Type IIa diamonds make up only one to two percent of the world’s natural diamonds. Many of the world’s most famous or sought-after diamonds are Type IIa for having virtually no impurities and an exceptional sparkle.

The fancy intense pink stone with VVS clarity was sold at Asia’s largest jewelery auction of all time. The diamond ring sold for four million more than Christie’s expected selling price, making it the most expensive gem ever to be sold in Asia. Many experts perceived the massive jewelery auction as an indication of the increasing Asian demand for luxury goods. They expect to see more luxury Asian auctions in the future, especially after the successful sale of the Perfect Pink.

While the Perfect Pink diamond ring was the largest jewelery sale in Asia, the diamond was still no match for the incredible $46 million record selling price of the 24.78 carat pink diamond “The Graff Pink,” bought by Laurence Graff in Geneva on November 15th, 2010.

It’s not a kept secret that women are usually more emotionally advanced than men. As a result, many women find themselves ready for marriage when they partners continue to be clueless about it. It’s time to teach you how to get that Wedding  ring and get your man to start planning the exciting proposal
Ladies, take notes:

1.    Friends getting married- Sometimes it takes another wedding to realize that your time has come. If it’s that time in your life when all your friends are getting married, try to convince your man to attend one of those ceremonies with you. Enjoy the evening and be happy for your friends’ joy but also don’t forget to throw a remark in the air once in a while about how lovely the wedding is, how happy they seem and how much you envy them. If your man how excited you are about the wedding, he might get the idea that you are ready for marriage yourself.

2.    Family- Family makes the best collaborators of them all. Try to speak with your mother or your sister about how much you wish to get married, and get them to ask a few questions about this matter in the next family dinner. Whether the question will be asked carefully or very bluntly it’s up to your family to decide (and we all know that family members can be not polite when the want to). There’s nothing like public peer pressure to get your man to consider his future.

3.    Window shopping- We realize that window shopping is probably one of the most hated activities a man could engage in, however- when it comes to marriage, sometimes it’s necessary to pull out all the heavy weapons. Try to stroll down with your man at the mall and accidentally stop by an engagement ring shop or by a wedding gowns store. Pretend that you are interested in one of the items in the display window and ask your boyfriends opinion about it. The sudden interest in wedding supply will raise a few questions in your man’s mind that will make him more aware for you wish to get married.

4.   Ask him yourself- This is the non traditional tip of the bunch but it’s also the most efficient one. If you wish to get married but your boyfriend has no idea about it, try popping the question yourself or at least bringing it up to the table. We all know that being direct and sincere is the best way to act in every aspect in life and same goes for marriages as well. Whether you’re planning a big romantic proposal or you just want to discuss the matter with your man- find the appropriate time to do it and remember to be kind and gentle.

5.    Just wait- People say that patience is a gift and it’s the recipe for a long happy life and we must agree. If your man hasn’t proposed to you by now, he might not be emotionally ready for it now. Don’t pressure or threaten him into marriage and just give him some time to grow and to realize that he wants marriage just as much as you do and then you will be certain that his proposal comes from within him. For now, try to enjoy the relationship with him and all those great reasons that made you want to marry him in first place.

Choosing the right engagement ring is a complicated task in number of aspects.
Most men will agree that choosing the proper manner to propose marriage is quite difficult but choosing the right engagement ring is even harder.
In our last post we gave you tips about original marriage proposals and we feel that it’s only fair that now we will help you choose her dream ring:

1.    Family comes first- Some families take huge importance in the engagement rings which is why you should always consult the family first. It would be highly unpleasant if you will buy an engagement ring while your fiancé’s family had an antique engagement ring prepared for the big moment for ages.  Only if the family hasn’t gotten big plans for the engagement ring- feel free to move to the next steps.

2.    Think of your woman’s personality- choosing an engagement ring can be a good indication of how well you know your wife. For example- if she is classic you might want to choose a classic solitaire ring for her. If she has a colorful personality you should consider getting her a non traditional topaz or an emerald ring.
Try thinking about which characteristics best represents your woman and try to translate it in terms of jewelry.

3.    Think about your woman’s lifestyle- Lifestyle is a very important aspect to be taken into consideration when shopping for a ring. If your woman is having a rather modest lifestyle, perhaps she won’t feel comfortable with wearing a huge diamond. If your woman has an important role at work, make sure to get her the appropriate ring that won’t steal too much attention and would look solid. Jewelry is something that we all pay attention to and it’s important that it will represent us in the right manner.

4.    Consider her esthetic taste- is she a gold person? Does she prefer white gold or silver? Which type of jewelry does she wear on a regular base? Although you might not notice these details everyday, this is something you should keep track for while shopping for a ring. An engagement ring is a piece that your wife is supposed to be wearing at all times which is why it is crucial that it will suit her taste.

5.    Comfort- jewelry can be quite annoying if they are at the wrong size of too large or clumsy. Try not to get anything too heavy and make sure that the size is correct. Buying a ring that is comfortable to wear is the key to success.

These instructions might seem complicated at first but our main tip is to stay attentive to your woman’s needs and wishes and the rest will follow.

When it comes to popping the big question, many fiancés -to -be find themselves lost in their thoughts in the un-certainty of how to propose. Everyone wants their proposal to be an event to remember but most of us aren’t sure how to execute those big expectations to reality.
To help all of the lost souls and confused couples, we assembled a list of the most romantic marriage proposals. All you need to do is to lay back, read this post and choose your method of choice:

The traditional proposal- some of you may feel that it’s too casual but the truth is that there’s nothing more exciting than a guy kneeling on the floor and simply asking his woman to become his wife by presenting a beautiful ring to her. This type of proposal fits best traditional seeking couple who enjoy keeping things under control and not going over the top. It’s a sweet and thoughtful gesture your woman will love for sure.

The treasure hunt proposal- if you are an adventurous couple, this type of proposal might fit you like a glove.  The treasure hunt proposal could include a ring being stashed into a restaurant meal that the bride to be will discover while eating her food or planting clues all over the house that will eventually lead to the big question and the engagement ring.

The adrenalin rush proposal- if you are more of an extreme couple and you find all the ideas above being completely boring- you must think of a creative way to celebrate your love. An extreme proposal might take place in the sky, while skydiving or in the water, while scuba diving. This will be one of those proposals you end up telling all your friends about as well as the next generation and to be honest- who doesn’t want to tell his grandchild that he proposed to his grandmother in the sky?

The traveling proposal- if you aren’t low on a budget, taking your fiancée to be for a romantic trip within the country or abroad could be a wonderful opportunity for you to end the vacation with a proposal she will never forget. Think of it as the cherry on top of an ice cream- you both get the chance to enjoy a lovely vacation and to make it truly unforgettable- you will come back from it engaged!

In the sky proposal- if your fiancée has always dreamed about taking a romantic flight or a romantic cruise- this is the perfect opportunity for you to make her dreams come true. Rent a helicopter and take your fiancée to the skies, literally or enjoy a lovely private cruise together and just when you are both feeling euphoric from the experience- get down on one knee and pop the big question.

The sky writing proposal- if you are a person of big dramatic gestures, proposing with a huge sign or with sky writing could be perfect for you. Take your beloved woman for a picnic or even for a simple stroll down the park so that she won’t suspect anything and just as you kiss with the trees in the background- show her your true intentions with the help of the sign. Once she’s overwhelmed with the gesture- present her with the engagement ring and be certain that she will not refuse!

The public proposal- this proposal is not meant for all of you shy private seeking couples but it will surely fit like a glove for a woman who loves being in the center of attention. If your bride to be belongs to the second category- arrange a family gathering or take her to a public location such as a football game or to a club and then, with all eyes on you, pop the big question. Your wife will surely feel like the queen of the ball and look at the bright side- she will feel badly not to accept your proposal.

Remember that it doesn’t matter if you propose quietly or with a big bang as long as there is love. Be sure to be sincere with your proposal and choose the proper engagement ring and everything else will fall into place.
