Don't Love the Rock You've Got? How to Upgrade Your Wedding Ring

BERJAYAKate Middleton may be happy with her 18-karat hand-me-down sapphire sparkler, but the same can't be said of other women in long-run relationships. Ah, the ring, that lasting symbol of love. Or is it?

These days, having the right sparkler is as important as having the right man -- which is why more and more happily married women are altering, upgrading and even trading in their rocks for a new and improved ring-finger stunner.

The reasons are as varied as the methods, whether to commemorate a momentous anniversary -- like actually making it to the 10-year mark, which is no small feat in this country -- or snag what's being called a "pushing present" for the birth of a baby. According to Engagement Rings, one popular upgrade is a three-stone ring to symbolize a couple's past, present and future.

Regardless of the ring-reinvention route you choose, it's all about forgoing tradition and going for the all important fifth C: change. Just look at these women and their before-and-after twinkling transformations.


The Family Jewels

When Danielle Liss's grandmother passed away, she inherited two of her granny's diamond rings. For the 34-year-old Liss, whose husband proposed with a ruby solitaire, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to honor her grandmother by having the diamonds combined into one (five-stone!) ring. "I told my husband that I thought there was no greater symbol than the rings of a woman whose marriage lasted for 59 years, only to be parted by death," says the Las Vegas–based Liss, who plans to someday renew her vows with the new family heirloom.

The Worst Sex Scene of 2010? And the Award Goes To ...

BERJAYAThe sex between them was like "a lepidopterist mounting a tough-skinned insect."

Mmmmm, are you turned on yet? No? What about a comparison of a nipple to "the nose of the loveliest nocturnal animal, sniffing in the night"? Still nothing?

Those two quotes were among the many that won author Rowan Somerville the Bad Sex in Fiction award this year for his novel "The Shape of Her."

This year Somerville beat out Jonathan Franzen, Alastair Campbell and several others to win this not-so-coveted prize, awarded by the U.K.'s Literary Review. Since 1993, they've been scanning novels (only the ones that are expressly non-pornographic -- sorry, career smut-writers) in search of "the crude, tasteless and often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in contemporary novels."

Somerville was presented with his award during a special ceremony in London, and just like any bad sex writer, he had a good sense of humor about himself. "There is nothing more English than bad sex," he said. "So on behalf of the entire nation I would like to thank you."

If you're like us and the bad sex makes you want to read "The Shape of Her" more, you can buy it today. What a perfect stocking stuffer for your parents!

Guy's Video Love Letter Goes Viral (But Has It Reached His Girlfriend?)

BERJAYAWhile some couples Skype or sext to keep the love alive, Walter C. May wanted to do something a bit more ... epic. Teaming up with California band The Daylights, this L.A.-based director wrote a song and made a music video to tell his girlfriend, Lex, just how much he loves her.

Although doing these romantic videos aren't anything new, May wanted to take this a step further by not sending directly it to Lex, who's currently working towards an MBA at Duke University.

Instead he sent the YouTube video to a few friends and tweeted it (after blocking her on Twitter) in hopes that it'll get to her "organically." Katy Perry and "Chuck" star Zachary Levi have already tweeted about the song, helpfully titled "I Hope This Gets to You."

It's only been a couple of days since this song has been on rotation, and surprisingly Lex has yet to see or hear the song. "Its surprising how hard it is to get a message to someone if they are always in school and you 'gag' order on all over your mutual friend," May tweeted on Dec. 1.

Hopefully his girlfriend will see this soon -- especially since it looks like everyone else in cyberspace has already viewed it. ENJOY!
