We bring our engagement rings posts to a close this week with one of our own designs. Probably our best selling ring - the dearly adored Hollin Wheat Band featuring an antique mine cut diamond with gorgeous clarity & color. This ring is an instant classic in that it updates it's vintage inspiration ever so slightly with it's streamlined appeal and offers something that's hard to find - a beauty that's both timeless and utterly wearable.

Engagement Rings, Day 4
A nice alternative to more traditional engagement rings, cluster rings have proven very popular in our stores and for good reason. This 14k White Gold Daisy Cluster Ring has 11 antique rose cut diamonds wrapped around a bright center that just shines. As with all of the rings we prize this has a nice modern, low profile. These also just seem to universally look good on all fingers! Beautiful.

Engagement Rings, Day 3
Today we have a beautiful 18k White Gold early Deco Ring showcasing some incredible filigree work & a stunning 3/4 carat center diamond. The great thing about this is that it's quite substantial yet retains a delicacy & lightness due to the filigree blossom and thinness of the band towards the bottom. It is also notched as they used to do on some rings of this period so that when you wear it with a wedding band it will fit together perfectly. Gorgeous, and you won't see one of these on every finger.

Engagement Rings, Day 2
Today we are featuring one of our own designs made specifically for a client. This is a handmade 14k Rose Gold band with a 14k Yellow scroll setting holding an Emerald Cut Ruby (!) adoringly flanked by two antique white diamonds on either side. While an Emerald Cut Ruby sounds like a contradiction in terms, what it delivers is something quite lovely - a large Ruby with beautiful color and translucency that both absorbs & refracts light equally. Our customer was very happy with this as were we!

Engagement Rings, Day 1
Every day this week we're going to be featuring a different Engagement ring. Some will be antiques and a couple will showcase our own creations. We'll raise the bar high with this incredible early Deco Platinum & Diamond ring. Did someone say 'Bling'?! The center diamond is a full 3/4 carat with gorgeous side diamonds going down the stunning handwork on the band - all of which adds to the unmistakable sparkle of it. Part of what makes it so special is that it's simultaneously simple & ornate, just beautiful!

Happy Valentines Day!
Happy Valentines Day to one & all - however you're spending the day we hope you feel the love. This morning in Northampton I was headed back thru town after dropping our daughter off at school & couldn't help notice the huge banner hanging from the Rte 9 bridge that reads 'I love you Claire'. Then as I stepped out of the car to get my much needed coffee I stumbled (literally) on this - rose petals all over the sidewalks as far as you can see.

Love Is In The Air
Just in time for the coldest month of the year as the days begin to grow ever so slightly longer and brighter - love is in the air. Valentines Day is fast approaching and we wanted to showcase some inspiring finds that will make great gifts for a beloved or just for yourself. Here we have a Victorian locket that trumps all with it's 'I Love Only You' inscription. The front of the locket has some nice Champagne Paste Rhinestones set into 9ct pinstripe Rolled Gold. The pictures here show it as it came to us but we're cleaning it up & putting it on an 18" chain - it's going to be absolutely lovely! Keep an eye out here for upcoming in-store & web promotions as Saint Valentine approaches..
