Kim Kardashian wearing platinum jewelry at this year's Emmy Awards,.

According to the press release Platinum Jewelry Dominates the Red Carpet at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards, platinum jewelry had a strong showing at the 2010 Emmy Awards. The Wedding Ring Blog also illustrates that popular celebrities such as Tina Fey and Kim Kardashian wore subtle but classic pieces of platinum jewelry while standing in front of press cameras. All in all, platinum was a very visible metal for jewelry.

Fred Cuellar, The Diamond Guy®, and Dr. Mark Mehaffey of St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital (in Houston, Texas) discuss the truth about removing wedding bands in an emergency room situation. Wedding bands created with gold, platinum, palladium, silver, titanium, or stainless steel can all be removed fairly quickly with a diamond-tipped cutting saw. However, wedding bands made in cobalt and tungsten are a little tricky. A cobalt wedding band has to be cut in two areas to be removed, while tungsten is literally shattered with vice grip pliers.

A note from Novell’s Marketing Director Rick Mulholland:

Novell has recently added a profile to a great up-and-coming bridal website – WhereToGetEngaged.com. I am a big fan of this website as it is much less cluttered than TheKnot.com or Brides.com, and they really seem to understand what an advertisers needs are as far as tools for social networking. I have added the top wedding bands that Novell will be promoting over the next year. The latest and greatest Novell products, such as TATU wedding bands and our new bridal jewelry collection, will also be added in the near future as well. One nice feature is that retailers can also create a profile, link to Novell as a vendor, and even have the ability to highlight products that are for sale. For these reasons, I encourage every one of Novell’s referred retailers to link to us on WhereToGetEngaged.com, as well as our Facebook page, too.
