Young love

It seems Miley Cyrus can be tamed! The singer/actress has announced her engagement to Aussie beau Liam Hemsworth.

Miley broke the news to People magazine, saying “I’m so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam.”

The young couple met in 2009 on the set of The Last Song, when Miley was just 16. Liam, 22, proposed to Miley, 19, on May 31 with a vintage 3.5 carat Tim Lane ring, which he helped design.

Liam has come along way since his days as Josh Taylor on Neighbours. The Melburnian has made a name for himself in Hollywood, recently starring as Gale in the hugely popular film, The Hunger Games.

Former Hannah Montana star Miley went to twitter to thank her fans for their support. “Thank you for all the love today :) I’m happy to share this news with you all. I feel like all my dreams are coming true,” she said.

We wish the happy couple the best of luck, and eagerly await details of the wedding to share with you.

Antique engagement rings

Vintage jewellery tells a story. Behind the veil of history, antique jewellery conjures up thoughts of nostalgia, wonder, and reflections of times gone by. Antique jewellery is timeless, classic and bursting with character, and if you purchase a piece of vintage jewellery, you’re also purchasing something that has most likely been loved and treasured by someone before you, which gives your piece extra charm.

Antique engagement rings are very popular, and with so many expert jewellery stores providing stellar pieces for those vintage lovers, there’s a great collection available out there. With a civilization rich with history, antique jewellery can date all the way back to the Victorian era, which ran roughly from 1835 to 1910. Then there’s the Edwardian era, the Art Deco and the Retro, all providing vastly different designs and creations from their time.

If you’re a lover of vintage and have a lust for all things old and charming, then an antique engagement ring might be the way to go!

Melbourne’s Keshett and Mary Titchener are both reputable jewelers that have big and beautiful collections to trawl and admire. And Sydney’s Martin and Stein is synonymous with fine antique Jewellery, so check them out!
