Last week, breathless অনুরাগী of "The Twilight Saga" were treated to a glimpse of Bella Swan's engagement ring in the final trailer for "Eclipse." Now they can own a replica of the diamond-encrusted oval ring co-designed দ্বারা "Twilight" লেখক Stephenie Meyer and Infinite Jewelry Co. The ring matches the one described in the books, and is already available in three prices: "fashion" for $35, "fine" for $479, and "genuine," for a real diamond ring priced at $1979 -- and presumably intended to serve as a real engagement ring for "The Twilight Saga"'s most ardent fans. Infinite Jewelry describes the ring on its website:
"Experience your romance with Edward Cullen in a whole new way when আপনি slip on Bella's Engagement RingTM! You'll প্রণয় প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে off the radiant stones in this elegant, domed-oval, স্বর্ণ ring. In true Victorian-era design, your ring is created দ্বারা master artisans with an open-work gallery and a finely polished edge that surrounds the brilliant faceted stones. How exciting for আপনি to own the only, Original [sic], Bella's Engagement RingTM in the world!"
Other, less expensive "Twilight"-inspired jewelry is available on the site, such as watches and necklaces, but the engagement ring is the only one that takes "Twilight" fandom to a potentially life-changing (and lifelong!) level. Will brides-to-be ask their potential husbands to give them a ring based on a series of teen novels about ভ্যাম্পায়ার and werewolves? Will boyfriends be comfortable proposing with a ring described as a way to "experience your romance with Edward Cullen?" And when the "Twilight" phenomenon gradually fades from our cultural memory, as all things eventually do, will wives look down at their movie tie-in rings with a twinge of embarrassment? One can only imagine the family-heirloom possibilities: "Honey, let's not tell our grandson the ring was based on a vampire movie."
