About Sam Wright-Smith
I grew up near Bath, am an avid rugby fan, and currently doing a postgrad course in English. I’d say I’m the jester in my circle of friends, although I’m not sure if this is a good thing or not! My goal is to write comedy for a living, but for the moment I’m happy getting my work published. Some of my male friends take the mickey out of me for writing about rings, but they’re just not in touch with their inner metrosexual!

During the display, the chosen messenger owl swooped on to Jason’s arm with a pink velvet bag attached to its leg. Safe inside the velvet bag was Jason’s diamond engagement ring ready for him to pop the question to Melissa. (more…)

Mens wedding rings are often overlooked in the excitement of the proposal, stag parties and hen parties and the wedding day itself. However, most men want to demonstrate their love for their partner and commitment by wearing rings on the third finger of their left hand.
Remember how your girlfriend (now fiancé) received lots of attention when you gave her one of those special engagement rings. Almost before you finished proposing the news probably travelled the full circuit of her friends and family. The same is true for you and there’s no doubt you’ll both need wedding rings ready for your wedding day. (more…)

Whether Ms Middleton will have much say in the matter of choosing her engagement ring is up for grabs.

When trying on a ring in a jewellery store, or if you have borrowed a ring from a friend, you may have experienced a tight sensation when removing the ring. This is caused by the movement of the ring against your skin where your finger expands wider than the band of the ring. The ring becomes wedged, stuck or simply will not budge. If you are lucky and this happens at home it will be less embarrassing, but no less complicated to unstick the ring.
As a rule, never force the ring from your finger. There are many tried and proven techniques you can use. By forcing the ring in any way, the metal may bend tighter or break and cut your skin. (more…)
