With all the popularity of ultra-delicate designs, it's helpful to remember just how elegant and tasteful a bold 4+ carat morganite ring looks on the finger. The blushing pink of this emerald cut is just a dream.

Some rings deserve a crown. Er... wait a minute. We've done that already this week. 😅 And it would be hard to think of a more different set of rings, and a more different set of crowns! Can't make much more of a show-stopping statement than you will with this bold cocktail ring!

There's something perfectly mesmerizing about the way an asscher cut diamond moves in the light. It's a different type of sparkle from the crushed ice brilliance of many other diamond cuts. The step cut facets just draw your eye deep into the center of the gem. 🤩

December birthdays get 3 birthstone choices -- including tanzanite, which we'll show off in this pretty ring. This design was based on the trillion cut tanzanite, with exploration of arrangements and side stones before the customer led the design to this asymmetrical arrangement.

For a vintage-inspired look, are you drawn to a bold design that extends along the length of the finger, or a more compact style? A bold look that draws all eyes immediately? Or an understated design that reveals all its intricate details only when you stop to look closely?

It hasn't taken long for this combination of blushing pink morganite and rose gold to become a classic. Here, a halo of diamonds adds sparkle and helps accentuate the color of the morganite. And on either shoulder of the bypass-style band are puzzle pieces, a cute personal touch.

Do you like a bit of space between the vining strands of a ring? For this customer, she asked us to remove that extra space, keeping the ruby-lined band more understated so that the diamond really pops. And we'd say it looks perfectly at home on her hand! 😍

This is a nature-inspired beauty for most, and a Lord of the Rings reference for Tolkien fans. The white gold leaf details on the ring's shoulders are inspired by the Leaves of Lorien brooches worn by the fellowship of the ring.

A pear cut emerald was the anchor of our design exploration. We wrapped it in a vining, leafy setting. And (I'm really sad we didn't get a good photo of this angle), under the center stone is a little daisy with a yellow diamond highlight. It's her favorite flower. 🌼

I could use a sparkly distraction from the counting -- I suspect I'm not alone. This customer told us that he'd given his partner a ring years earlier with a blue sapphire tucked into the band, so we incorporated a peek-a-boo setting of blue sapphire to bring that into this ring.

One of the things I love about opal is the way accent gems combine with the color play of the opal. For example, the green tsavorite garnet side stones in this delicate ring draw out the beautiful green color flashes across the face of the marquise opal center stone.

I love the angle of this marquise diamond's setting in this sparkly, leafy ring. If it was straight across, we'd call it an east-west setting. So I guess we'll have to call this an east-by-northeast-west-by-southwest setting. Bit of a mouthful? Let's just call it beautiful!
