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.

With Spring knocking on the door, the first blooms of the season are bursting through the top of the soil… seeking the warmth of the sun. Soon, the crisp air will be fragrant with the sweet scent of hyacinth and lilies. A kaleidoscope of brightly colored flowers will usher Spring in… some of my personal favorites are crocuses, daffodils and tulips. This week, we’re celebrating the incoming season with a sale that’s just too good.

Today’s pick is an 18-karat white gold beauty with a little secret. This modern beauty is a bit wider than a typical engagement ring; it has great presence and a good feel on the hand. Seventy-eight perfectly matched round brilliant diamonds are set edge to edge with tiny prongs in a style known as pavé. These near colorless sparklers have an average clarity grade of VS2-SI1 and a combined weight of exactly .63 carat – a detail that is inscribed inside the shank of the ring.

Presenting in a modified halo, those side diamonds surround a dazzling center stone. Perfectly nestled into the center of the ring is a round brilliant diamond that weighs 1.00 carat. An excellent match to the side stones, this diamond has a color grade of H-I and a clarity grade of VS1-VS2. Viewed from the top, this ring is a radiant display of scintillating sparkle. It’s the side view that has my heart.

With just one small turn, the secret is revealed. A tulip-like blossom cradles the center of the ring. Made from 18-karat rose gold, this detail is everything. The gold has been artfully sculpted into a series of curves, mimicking the look of a flower – it’s a stroke of creative genius. It should come as no surprise to learn that this ring was made by Simon G. (his signature mark is etched inside the ring) – his timeless designs have been captivating young couples for decades.

This ring has been on our site for quite a while. We are excited to offer it as a Pick of the Week. Previously priced at $9,775.00 – we are now dropping the price to just $6000.00! We cannot wait to see who claims this stunning diamond ring for themself or someone they love.

“Designing jewelry is an all-consuming passion, it is my hobby. It’s my life.”

– Simon G.

Since 1980, Simon Ghanimian has been hand-sketching some of the most iconic bridal jewelry in the world. His style is a unique combination of vintage artistry and the trends of today. He has been known to say that he still gets his biggest thrill from creating a new piece. After forty years, that’s quite a statement.

Each and every piece of Simon G. jewelry is perfection from the inside out. They are polished on the top, back, interior and even underneath the stones. This painstaking process creates a highly reflective surface, and ultimately allows the brilliance of each diamond to truly shine. The artisans at Simon G. work within their own unique discipline – pavé, channel, or prong setting.

Only the finest materials are used to create these extraordinarily beautiful engagement rings. Every creation is assigned a unique serial number, this seal of authenticity is like a birth certificate… revealing when the piece was made and where it was sold. In addition, every piece of Simon G. jewelry is put through ten quality assurance checkpoints. This rigorous process ensures the supreme quality of every piece.

This 18 karat white gold gem is a classic Simon G. design. A perfectly matched pair of pear-shaped brilliant cut diamonds flank the center stone while a delicate halo of round diamonds encircles the entire trio and cascades down the shoulders. These thirty-six diamonds have a combined weight of .70 carat. All of these diamonds are near colorless and have an average clarity grade of VS-SI.

A round brilliant diamond is nestled in the center of the ring. It weighs in at .73 carat. This diamond dazzles with a color grade of E-F and a clarity grade of VS2-SI1. Each element of this beauty combine to create pure perfection.

This is our 24th Pick of the Week. Every Monday we take an old favorite from our website and evaluate every aspect of it. This information is used to calculate a new unbelievable price. This Simon G. original was on our website for $6,750.00. Today, it’s available for just $5,400.00! Go to our site and make it yours.
