One of the biggest news stories in the world last week – the U.S. aside — was the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager of the Manchester United soccer team.

Exclusive: The Engaging Colin Cowie Talks about Platinum Bridal Jewelry
I first met Colin Cowie last week at a jewelry media preview in New York City, hosted by Platinum Guild International USA (PGI-USA).

In honor of the debut of Baz Lurhmann's "The Great Gatsby" (based on F.

Today we bring you a gallery of those images below.
See Lorraine DePasque's exclusive video interview with celebrity wedding planner Colin Cowie, who was recently named as a spokesman for Platinum Guild International USA. Cowie discusses the best choices for modern brides in platinum engagement rings, wedding bands, as well as other jewelry for the big day.
