Art Deco Wedding Bands
Wedding season is upon us! We love diamond Art Deco wedding bands because they can compliment an engagement ring or stand on their own as well, such as this stunning 14k white gold band with seven beautiful diamonds!

Art Deco Rings
The Art Deco Period was a design movement that began in Paris during the roaring 1920s and quickly spread internationally, continuing on into the 1930s. Art Deco jewelry is characterized by bold, modern design and streamlined, angular geometric shapes. Platinum and white gold were commonly used metals. We love Art Deco rings because they are so elegant and timeless. Featured below are two of our favorite rings in the store right now: A platinum engagement ring with two marquis diamonds on either side of the center stone and a stunning 14K white diamond band.

Victorian Lockets
Beginning in the mid to late 19th Century, the locket was one of the most popular items of jewelry. Wearers of lockets would put photos or even locks of hair of loved ones inside. During the Victorian and Edwardian periods, it was very common for lockets to have intricate monogrammed initials of the owner inscribed on the back. Some have a small diamond in the center, with an incised starburst pattern surrounding it, adding a beautiful sparkle. We are so fond of these lockets that we try to keep one on hand at the store at all times!

Signature Rings: Wheat Band

One of the most enjoyable aspects of making custom wedding rings is seeing different variations on one of our signature designs. Recently we made this ring in 14k white gold with a stunning diamond set into our wheat band, the ring is both wearable and impressive. Congratulations to the lucky couple!

Oldies but Goodies
One of my favorite things about knowing jewelry so well is being able to look at a beautiful vintage piece and see the uniqueness and value before it is even polished. I love vintage jewelry and think that it is such a valuable piece of history and artistry. So in that light, I wanted to show you all some of our new vintage pieces that I've acquired in the last couple months.

This ring is a vintage rose cut diamond set in a rose gold setting. I love how small and simple it is, and the rosy hue of the gold adds such a warm feeling to the ring.

This band is called the "Hollin Style" and can be found with and without the diamond setting on the top.

This last ring was purchased for one very lucky lady just a week ago. It is a vintage Cluster Diamond ring from the Edwardian period and is set in rose gold. The setting was very low so it sat close to the finger and was a petite size 5. The great thing about buying vintage engagement rings is that the diamonds and gold have already been mined. It is one of the best ways to be "eco-friendly" with a diamond. And the styles are so unique and wonderfully crafted. If the style of the ring is still popular now, 100+ years later, then you know it can stand the test of time.
