His and Hers – Volume 12

Baubles, Bling, and Complementary Rings

I’m definitely an old-fashioned girl.  I’ve been married for over twenty-four years.  For all of those years and a few more while we were just dating, my husband and I have fulfilled traditional roles… I take care of the house and he takes care of the vehicles and outdoor tasks (mowing the lawn, snow removal, etc).  It’s a natural fit for both of us, and we’ve thrived in those roles.  

One of my favorite traditions is complementary rings.  Whether they be wedding bands or right hand rings, there’s something so special about complementary pieces.  I love the visual connection – this week, we have a special pair of rings.

Both featuring a rich pop of purple, these modern amethyst rings are sharp and stylish.  His ring (modeled by our own Steve Becker) is a 14-karat yellow gold stunner.  A 1.00 carat baguette cut amethyst is bezel set in the center of fourteen round brilliant diamonds.  These diamonds have a combined weight of .75 carat.  The gold has been polished to a pristine shine.  This is one of the only amethyst men’s rings I have ever seen.  Moderately priced at $1,275.00, this ring is available online and in our store.

Not matching, but certainly complementing this handsome ring is an equally appealing ladies ring.  It, too is made from 14-karat yellow gold.  Made in a classic bypass style, the two ends of the ring wrap around and almost pass each other.  Perfectly positioned in the end cap of each side are a matched pair of square-cut amethyst gemstones.  These vivid violet stones have a combined weight of approximately .50 carat.  The style is simple, with no additional stones or decor. This modern beauty is available on our website for just $675.00.

With so many similarities, these two rings are ideal for a husband and wife, a mother and her son, a father and his daughter, a brother and sister… any two people who share a deep connection.  If you are longing for an outward symbol of the bond between you and that special someone – these two rings are perfect.  Stop by or give us a call to claim one or both of them today.

His and Hers – Volume 10

Baubles, Bling, and Complementary Rings

In the past couple of weeks, Dana and I have been working on upping our website game.  Until very recently, jewelry has been primarily dominated by pieces for women.  However, with stylish and trendy celebs leading the way, men have been stepping it up in regard to fashion and high-end accessories.  We’re not just talking about gold rope chains with crosses.  Men are sporting strands of pearls, diamond chains, extravagant brooches and so much more.  Not wanting to be left in the dust, we have added a men’s section to the website.  

In the days and weeks to come, we will be adding several fancy and fun pieces to the site, like this ring…

 Made from 10-karat white and yellow gold, this classic ring exudes elegance.  A rectangular piece of black onyx sits vertically on the finger.  Framed by a yellow gold border, this stark stone is the perfect background for a singular round diamond.  Weighing just .03 carat, this tiny sparkler is set within a double milgrain-edged square. 

A three-tiered rib decorates the shoulders of this estate ring, adding texture and visual appeal.  A new addition to the website, this ring is priced at just $450!  

Curvaceous and chic, this beauty is the perfect complement to our men’s piece.  Elongated and upscale, this ring is made from 14-karat yellow gold.  The lengthy center of the ring is accented by a trio of round diamonds that are set vertically.  Six additional diamonds are situated to the left and right of the center…  combined, these nine gems have a total weight of approximately .50 carat.  A layer of black antiquing has been added to the ring, adding a hint of color to this stately beauty.  Also on the website, this ring is priced at just $675.00.

This pair of rings is perfect for those seeking non-traditional wedding bands.  They’re also fantastic choices for right-hand rings or even pinky rings.  No matter the reason, it’s impossible to deny that this dynamic duo is the simply too good to pass up.  Hop on over to our site where this “His and Hers” are waiting to become yours.

His and Hers – Volume Nine

Baubles, Bling, and Complementary Rings

Partners.  Soulmates.  Kindred spirits.  Lovers.  Husband and wife… a union that is often celebrated with a pair of matching wedding bands.  Twenty-five years ago, our wedding band case was overflowing with everything from classic plain gold duos to pairs of tri-color entwined braids.  Nearly every couple purchased matching bands.  In the years since, both couples and the rings that represent their love have evolved.  Today, more often than not, wedding rings are complementary, like these.

Both made near the turn of the century, these rings embrace everything the Edwardian era had to offer.  First, let’s look at the ladies ring.  Created from both yellow and white 18-karat gold, this elegant ring contains one Old European Cut diamond as the center stone.  This slightly warm gem (K-L in color) weighs approximately 1.30 carats.  Nestled deep within the octagonal-shaped top, this diamond has a clarity grade of VS1-2.  Cascading down the shoulders and wrapping around the sides are intricate engraved patterns; it’s on our site with a newly reduced price of $5700.00.

Comparatively, the gents ring is made from 14-karat gold.  This ring also showcases two-tone appeal.  Just like its counterpart, the shoulders of this ring are inset with white gold segments.  The graduated pattern carved into the shoulders of this ring is identical to the decoration of the ladies ring.  Additional engraving surrounds the center, it offers a more masculine look of both linear and pierced design elements.

Winking from the center of this ring is a .55 carat European Cut diamond.  Exhibiting a fancy deep brown-yellow color, this antique stone has a clarity grade of SI and is priced at just $1385.00.  These two vintage pieces have so much in common and yet also proclaim their own uniqueness. 

Shown on the hand, it’s easy to see how great they look together.  If you and your significant other have been searching for the ideal way to symbolize your commitment – look no further.  Both rings are available now.
