How far would you go for love? For a New Zealand local the answer was ‘very far’. After dropping his wedding ring to the bottom of Wellington Harbor, Aleki Taumoepeau, swore to his new bride that he would retrieve the sunken treasure… that was 16 months ago. The NIWA ecologist was scouring the harbor for invasive plant species last March when the ring slipped from his finger. He quickly threw an anchor overboard in an attempt to mark the loose whereabouts of the band. He swore to his wife of three months, Rachel, that he would find the token of their bliss. Describing the incident, Rachel said “It flew off into the air and everyone on the boat was looking at it and said it was like a scene from Lord of the Rings in slow motion.” Three months after the incident Aleki Taumoepeau was on the hunt for the ring, but the quest proved to be unsuccessful. Thankfully, Aleki was back on the scene recently for another attempt.

---------------------------------------------------------- I recently purchaesed an engagement ring from Excel Diamonds and couldn't imagine a better diamond buying experience. Barry and Judah were on call for all my questions and patiently dealt with any request I made. I was nervous about making such a large purchase online and was hoping that when the diamond arrived I would get what I was sold. After opening the diamond I couldn't believe my eyes as it was the most beautiful ring I had seen with more brilliance than any of the stones we'd seen at local jewelry stores. My fiance is in love with the ring and people constantly compliment her on the stone. After wearing the ring for a few days she decided it was a little to big and we decided to send it to Barry and have him re-size it. (at no cost of course) In order to get her size I suggested she go to Tiffany's and have them size her finger. The ring I ordered from Barry was a Tiffany 6 prong replica and a big reason I chose Excel was the quality of their Tiffany replica settings. The lady at Tiffanys loved the ring so much she was convinced that we had purchased it there and offered to send it to New York right away for re-sizing. We didn't take her up on the offer but walked aways from the store feeling like we had gotten an incredible value from Excel without paying the Tiffany price. -----------------------------------------------------
