To make it even easier to peruse, all you have to do is click on the 'ring book' button on our site & you will instantly have a high quality PDF on your desktop. Additionally, we have print copies in both stores so if you come in you can view the book alongside the current stock in the cases. Perfect!

Ain't No Mountain High Enough

This is a great story. Awhile back we got an email from a guy named Josh living in Equador looking for a band to accompany his grandmother's diamond. The catch was that the diamond was in Chicago with his brother. Rather than send the diamond to us they had a family jeweler in Chicago who was lined up to set the diamond in the band we'd provide. This required lots of back & forth about the diamond's specs, making sure the setting would be correct, look right & most importantly - fulfill what he was after. Turns out it worked! We just got a really sweet email directing us to his blog where you can read more about their beautiful, high altitude (16,463 feet to be precise), mountain top proposal.

 

'With Engagement Rings..'

Friday's NY Times featured an interesting article titled 'With Engagement Rings, Love Meets Budget'. For a purchase heavily driven by the heart and expectations - this article nicely illuminates some of the complexities that often accompany such a purchase. Worth a read - here is the link.

September Wedding

The greatest rewards are sometimes in the smallest details. We just got this really nice note from a lovely couple whose wedding bands we made. They were married in September, her ring is our branch band (pictured below). They were nice to enough to send a picture from what looks to have been a magical day..

Did I ever write and express how much I love my beautiful wedding ring? (We got married in September)

I tried on perhaps two rings - here and there - before we came across your store while visiting Boston.  I didn't need to try on another one.  

Thank you again - the ring is a joy to wear!

Best,

Molly

Engagement Rings, Day 6

Today we're featuring an Engagement Ring that we just finished for a client in Cambridge. This is a 14k Yellow Gold band with one of the most incredible Emeralds we've ever laid eyes on! It took Rebekah almost a month to find the stone, looking & searching for exactly what the customer hoped to get. This is a Zambian Emerald hand cut in the USA. Part of what makes it so special (beyond the fact that it's a full 1.4 carat weight!) is that the stunning color is entirely natural & non-heat treated. It's also what they call 'eye-clear', meaning there are no inclusions (material that is trapped inside a mineral during its formation) - which Emeralds almost always have. Really nice also that this was given as an engagement ring, something a bit different and so beautiful. The pictures really don't do this one justice..

Engagement Rings, Day 5

 

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.

Men's Wedding Bands

A large part of our business is making custom engagement rings and wedding bands and over the years we have had the pleasure of working with so many wonderful couples.  This week we wanted to give you a sampling of some men's bands that we've made recently.  Featured are our 14K white gold hammered flat band and a wide mixed metal band made of 14K white and yellow gold.
