Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

This week we are showcasing a very special piece… a three-stone beauty made by famed designer Michael Beaudry. Since 2009, this Los Angeles born company has been painstakingly crafting some of the world’s finest jewelry. His designs are made of only the finest precious metals and gemstones; primarily platinum with accents of 18-karat yellow and rose gold. Our own ring is indeed made of platinum – the quality can be both seen and felt.

Platinum offers true heft… weight that speaks of the merit of this lovely ring. Focusing on the three-stone silhouette, there are a trio of larger diamonds set within the piece. The center stone is a round brilliant diamond that weighs approximately 1.05 carats. Flanking the center are a matched pair of round diamonds that have a combined weight of .60 carat.

Surrounding each of the three principal diamonds is a delicate halo of tiny diamonds that continue to cascade down the shoulders. There are seventy-six dainty diamonds in all with a total weight of .74 carat. That brings the complete gem weight to a whopping 2.39 carats. On average, all of the diamonds have a color grade of G-I and a clarity grade of VS-SI. The quality continues throughout the mounting – even the back side of the ring is beautiful, as shown above.

The three-stone style has been favored for hundreds of years. The most recent symbolism has dubbed it as the “past, present, and future” ring. One stone representing each. While it’s a perfect engagement choice, it’s also quite appropriate for an anniversary or perhaps even a mother’s ring. This symbolic beauty has been a part of our collection for quite a while, priced at $12,000.00. Today, we are dropping the price to just $8,500.00!

Shown on the hand, you can truly appreciate the impressive presence of this modern beauty. With a substantial discount, there’s simply no reason to resist. Click the photos to see the ring on our site and make it yours today.

Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Thing

Last week, we shared a piece of jewelry from the Retro era (the late 1930’s-1940’s) – a bold band that is SO good. Those years not only designated the Retro period but also the Great Depression. Arguably the most devasting economic downturn in United States history, the depression saw unprecedented unemployment rates, businesses going belly up and a radical decline in economic activity. It wasn’t until World War II started that things started to turn around. Preparing for war fueled industrial production which created jobs. The war efforts also gobbled up all of the platinum using it for manufacturing rifle and engine parts as well as explosives. Rather than inhibiting jewelers, the loss of platinum inspired them to create an entirely new trend. By alloying gold with a higher ratio of copper, rose gold entered the picture in a big way.

The majority of Retro jewelry was big and bold. Statement pieces were all the rage – gold was manipulated into scrolls and volutes; it was woven, braided and entwined. There were leaves, ribbons and my favorite… bows. This simple yet incredibly feminine form has been adorning jewelry for centuries. Bows were particularly beloved during the Edwardian era. It came to the forefront once again in the 1940’s. Vintage bow brooches are readily available as are pendants and necklaces. But rings are rare.

This sweetheart just arrived and we are in love! Uncomplicated and effortless in design, this beribboned ring offers endless charm. Made of 14-karat rose gold, it’s a finger size seven. It sits perfectly on the index and middle fingers of my left hand. The knot in the center of the bow is white gold and is set with an Old European Cut diamond that weighs approximately .10 carat. Adding the perfect amount of sparkle to this triple loop bow. A small space separates each loop and remnants of the original milgrain beading remain on the edges of those loops. The tails of the bow drape down the shoulders of the ring, completing the look.

Perfect for so many occasions, this vintage ring is priced at just $465.00. Although it was well loved by previous owners, there is still plenty of life left in it. Choose it for any reason or no reason at all – it’s just too sweet to let it go! Check it out on our site today.

Pick of the Week – Volume 73

We all know what a halo is… a crown of light rays hovering above the head of an angel. It can also describe a circle of light around the sun, moon or other luminous body. In religious art, the halo symbolizes spiritual importance and a divine connection. It is the visual representation of light, grace and heavenly glory. A halo around the sun or moon occurs as the light refracts off of ice crystals that are in cirrus clouds. In both cases, it is a circle of light.

Today’s pick is the perfect example of the hottest looks of the modern era – the halo. For all intents and purposes, the definition is still accurate. In the jewelry world, a halo is a small ring of diamonds that surrounds another stone. And although the style was anything but new, the concept took off like wildfire. This miniature band of diamonds also reflects the light and enhances the appearance of the center stone.

This classic ring is made entirely of platinum by legendary designer, Simon G. A ring of twenty round brilliant diamonds comprise the halo, while an additional twenty diamonds create two rows that cascade down each shoulder. These diamonds have a combined weight of .50 carat. As is the standard in all Simon G. designs, these gems are near colorless with a clarity grade of SI1-2. Accentuating the design are rows of tiny beads of platinum called milgrain. This beading encapsulates the halo, as well as both rows of diamonds on the shoulders. This small detail brings a hint of vintage-inspired design to this modern ring.

Shining from the center of the halo is a natural earth-mined diamond that weighs 1.06 carats. This near colorless diamond has a clarity grade of SI1-2. The total diamond weight for this engagement ring is 1.56 carats! It has been on our site for $8,250.00. Today, we’re dropping the price to just $6,000.00. That’s quite a savings. If you or someone you know is dreaming of a halo-styled designer diamond ring, this is a fantastic option. Hop on over to our site for additional photos, then add it to the cart and make it yours.
