Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera had a love story filled with erratic passion and a fire that could ignite a pool of water. Meeting in the halls of the Public Ministry of Education Frida captured the attention of the already famous artist Diego Rivera with her talent and her riotous personality. The two were wed in 1929 against the protests of her mother and with the warning to Diego from her father “Frida is a clever girl, but she is un demonio oculto- a concealed devil!” While the difference in age was an ample 20 years the two bonded on an intellectual level that was unshakable; serving as each other’s most trusted confidants and most honest artistic critics.

Partners in Science and Love: Marie and Pierre Curie
Marie Curie and husband Pierre Curie were partners in the pursuit of both love and science. The pair met Sorbonne University in Paris. Enamored by Marie’s intense passion in the field of science and discovery Pierre proposed to Marie. Refusing at first, upon Pierre’s insistence that even if he were reduced to teaching French in her native Poland he would follow her anywhere, Marie accepted. The two would go on to be pioneers in the field radiation and came to coin the term “radioactive.” The couple was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1903.

Sharing a twitpic later that evening Linda showed off her engagement ring in a creative and adorable way, slipping the gorgeous ring on the hand of her and Steven’s 15 month old daughter. Tagged with, “My daughter Lilah Rose wants everyone to know that her mommy and daddy are getting married…” Linda let us all get a close up look at the diamond stunner. A round diamond center so brilliant it looks like it’s projecting a beam of light is prong set on a thin shank lined with diamonds. This engagement ring may have a simple design but a huge impact.
NK26151-W
Natalie K’s Classique Collection offers a variety of engagement rings with a clean aesthetic and elegant appeal. NK26151-W is one such ring which offers a clean and simple shank lined with 18 prong set round diamonds. And because Natalie K engagement rings can be customized to fit the center stone of choice a larger diamond center can be mounted to create the same jaw dropping impression as future Mrs. Rodriguez’s engagement ring.
