Baubles and Bling with Unbelievable Pricing

Today wraps up the biggest shopping weekend of the year.  It’s Cyber Monday.  If you love to shop from the privacy of your own home, in your jammies with coffee and snacks at the ready – this day is for you.  I am a Black Friday girl; in fact, it’s part of the Thanksgiving tradition in my family.  When my boys were small and writing letters to Santa, I loved searching the flyers that came in the mail.  Together with my mom and my sisters, we would plan out our day making sure to procure each chosen item on our lists.  Now that my kids are grown, I still love Black Friday shopping, but it’s more about spending time with my family than sales.  Though I am working today, I’m sure I’ll find a little time to scroll through Amazon deals on my phone… just in case something catches my eye.  Speaking of eye candy, this ring is a true showstopper.

 

The first time we shared it, we paired it with the filigree ring shown above (on the left).  While the filigree ring sold right away, this one is still here.  Today, for Cyber Monday, we are offering it at a new price.  It’s hard to believe that we’ve had this striking beauty for more than six years.  Sleek and modern, it’s made from platinum.  Durable and strong, this naturally occuring white metal is the ideal complement to the soft pink hue of the center stone.  Taking the shape of an elongated rectangle, this pale pink tourmaline showcases an unusual cutting technique.  The curved, faceted top creates a dance of light as it moves.  Weighing 3.40 carats, this gemstone shines.

Situated to the left and right of the center stone are four crisscut diamonds.  This unique cutting style is a variation of the emerald cut.  Adding more facets, it has superior fire and brilliance.  Combined, these diamonds offer.55 carat of sparkle.  It’s one of our favorite rings, and gets a ton of attention from customers…  both in the store and online.  Six years later, and I can’t help but wonder why we still have it.  The only objection that makes any sense is that the price has put it just out of reach.  Today, for Cyber Monday, we’re going to remedy that problem.  Previously priced at $6,500.00, we are now offering it for just $5,000.00!  If you’ve had your eye on this pretty piece, hop on over to our site and add it to your cart to take advantage of those Cyber Monday savings!

Unmatched Brilliance

Baubles, Bling and Dazzling Things

Originally dubbed as a “table cut,” this rectangular beauty is one of the oldest diamond shapes with roots dating back to the 1500’s.  Resembling a hall of mirrors, it gained a new name in the 1920’s.  Featuring 57 facets, the emerald cut diamond (as it is now known) is recognized as perhaps the most elegant and sophisticated of all the silhouettes.  

While it can be challenging to improve upon near perfection, there have been rare instances throughout history.  In 1981, Christopher Slowinski introduced the world to Christopher Designs.  He is a master stone cutter and a visionary, he single-handedly revolutionized the emerald cut diamond.  Elaborating upon the existing profile, Slowinski added triangular shaped facets to the steps in the pavilion (lower half) of the stone taking it from fifty-seven to a whopping seventy-seven facets!  This expert design capitalizes on the scintillation and light dispersion, producing a continuous exchange of light – bouncing back and forth with mesmerizing results.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Original Crisscut Emerald Diamond.

We recently added this dazzler to our estate collection.  Made entirely from platinum, this ring is a true showstopper.  The center stone is a 1.51 carat Crisscut diamond.  This beauty is perfectly nestled between a series of twenty-four Crisscut tapered baguette diamonds that graduate in size with a combined weight of 1.49 carats.  Finally, the three-row look is completed with seventy-four round brilliant stones.  These diamonds outline both sides as well as the center and add an additional .70 carat of bling.  All told, the total gem weight of this modern marvel is 3.70 carats!  Wow!

An elegant engagement ring or a sophisticated anniversary band?  This ring is ideal for every occassion.  And it’s a real steal…  the primary advantage of estate jewelry is undoubtedly the price!  Make this authentic Crisscut Diamond ring yours for just $16,750.00.
