The ring selfie has evolved into more than just a dazzling photo of your engagement ring catching the perfect light on a beautiful day. Ring selfies have become a non-traditional engagement announcement to distant family members, acquaintances, and interested observers on social media.
“On trend” or “trendy” are not adjectives you necessarily want to describe the engagement ring you propose to your partner with; the goal is for your partner to wear their engagement ring for years to come, through short-lived shapes and fleeting fads.
As you begin the engagement ring shopping process, you may be slightly overwhelmed with all of your center stone options. You may have even thought your only option was a natural diamond and now you are presented with three: natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, or moissanite. So, how do you decide which is the best center stone for you?
Oval cut diamonds are the most popular and most requested diamond shape with no apparent signs of losing its #1 spot in the diamond engagement ring category.
The oval cut diamond has earned, and maintained, its popularity for good reason. This elongated diamond shape provides abundant finger coverage with a longer length measurement than other fancy-shaped diamonds. Despite the generous finger coverage, the oval cut diamond appears delicate and dainty with a slimming effect of the finger.
Moissanite is a relatively new buzzword in the engagement ring and fine jewelry space. What are moissanite gems and how does a moissanite engagement ring compare to a natural diamond engagement ring?
You have officially begun the hunt for the perfect wedding band to compliment your dazzling engagement ring. Maybe you are looking for extra bands to create a stack or an engagement ring/wedding band set to present to the love of your life as a packaged deal. Wherever you are on your wedding band shopping journey, you need a wedding ring that both symbolizes your everlasting love and sparkles on you or your partner’s finger.
The internet is packed full of information about diamonds, engagement ring shopping tips, and so much more. But how much of this information is truthful or accurate? Learn what is fact and what is fiction!
We have had the absolute pleasure of designing engagement rings and wedding bands for some pretty incredible couples over the past 41 years. Each couple has a wonderfully unique love story with an equally unique proposal and ring.
Lab-grown diamonds have become increasingly more popular over the last few years. After they began to trickle into the market in 2013, Morgan Stanley released a report in 2016 predicting that lab-growns could take a 7.5% market share in sales for larger stones. As consumers become more educated about the striking similarities between natural and lab-grown diamonds, an increase in demand for these less expensive stones is inevitable!
One of our favorite trends in jewelry right now is ring stacking! What once was a simple engagement ring and wedding band pair has turned into the perfect 3-5 piece ring stack… and we are completely on board.
Accurately sizing an engagement ring can often be the most difficult part of the engagement ring shopping process. Over time, one’s ring size can change due to a number of circumstances thus creating a need to resize a wedding band and/or engagement ring.
Meaning ‘pavement’ in French, the term Pavé refers to a setting style rather than an actual type or cut of stone. Within this style, there are different settings that fall under the pavé umbrella. Pavé diamonds are held in place by metal beads that are barely visible in order to create a seamless effect. Most pavé diamonds are actually called melee (pronounced like belly); melee is a collection of diamonds that weigh than ⅕ carat, or 0.2ct.
