Mariah Carey gets recycled engagement ring. So what?

The Mirror is reporting that Mariah Carey -- newly engaged to actor Nick Cannon -- is sporting what looks to be the very same ring he gave to his former fiance, model Selita Banks. See it here. So far, everyone from Perez Hilton to every other celeb gossip blogger has cried, "Tacky!" But quite frankly, it's really rather eco and in good taste. People infuse way too much sentimentality in a diamond ring, which is really just a symbol. The Rage says bravo to Mariah for being secure enough to accept a beautiful ring that may have been worn on someone else's finger. (It's not like it's a thong, people.) In a way, it's her acceptance of Cannon's past and that's both mature and more valuable than any amount of carats.

FYI: The average price of an engagement ring jumped to $3,200 in 2007, up 16% from $2,750 in 2006 -- according to IDEX (the International Diamond Exchange, which did alter its study to include Internet purchases for the first time.)

Hey, I heard about a new jewelry company that is launched and have a lot less expensiveness prices then Green Karat. You can check their website http://www.GreenORO.com and find lot of green jewelry pieces that are alike green karat but at very competitive rates. They specialize in green wedding bands and non-conflict diamond rings. The company is as green, environmentally and socially conscious, as a jeweler can be and unique thing is that they are offering three very exciting features which no one is offering right now.

1- Green Box Program

2- One Tree & One Ring a Time

3- Make Your Own ORO Ring

4- ORO Certificate of Authenticity [ Each ring you buy from http://www.GreenOro.com carries a Unique Tag Number ]

The head of the company is Shimon Farkas and you can see how extensive her background is in all things green at her current website. http://www.GreenOro.com, He & his family is in jewelry business for three generations and featured on the ABC Morning News and New York Fashion Show. Shimon Farkas is the prime manufacturer of green jewelry all in house and nothing is outsourced to any third party that gives him leverage to cut down his cost and share it with the customers and also with assurance he is offering ORO Certificate of Authenticity with each ring.

The aim is to make the pieces extremely affordable AND eco-friendly. Should be a really innovative website too, you can also ask for any Custom Design and that can be made within a matter of few weeks.
