The classic
Solitaire
One diamond, nothing else to look at.
The most requested style in this store, and it has been for forty years. One center stone in a prong, bezel or cathedral mount, with nothing competing for attention. The diamond does all the work, which means the diamond has to be right.
This is the setting where cut matters most. A well-cut stone in a simple mount will outperform a bigger stone in a busy one. We help you choose the stone first, then build the setting around it.
The sparkle
Halo
More brilliance without a bigger center stone.
A ring of smaller diamonds surrounds the center stone and adds visual size without increasing the cost of the center. The ring looks bigger, brighter, and more detailed than a solitaire of the same carat weight.
Halos work especially well with oval, cushion and round centers. If your budget gives you a choice between a larger stone in a solitaire or a smaller stone in a halo, the halo often wins on first impression.
The statement
Three stone
Past, present, and what comes next.
A center diamond flanked by two smaller stones. The traditional reading is past, present, and future, but most people choose it because it fills more of the finger than a solitaire and carries more visual weight.
The side stones can match the center or contrast it. Pear sides on a round center, trapezoids on an emerald cut. The combinations change the personality of the ring entirely.
The heritage
Vintage
Made today, designed a century ago.
Milgrain edges, filigree scrollwork, hand-engraved patterns, and settings inspired by Art Deco, Edwardian, and Victorian eras. These rings carry the most handwork of anything in the store, because the details that make them look old are the hardest to do by machine.
If you have an inherited ring from one of those periods, we can redesign it into something that keeps the spirit but fits your hand. The stones carry over, the setting gets rebuilt.
