This afternoon we’re craving rocks – and we’ve got the sparkle to back it up. We’ve been adding more vintage inspired and platinum baubles to our wishlist, but today we’re especially interested in big diamonds. You know, the type that make you lean to the left when you walk. The sort that cause a glare in photographs. The kind that are such head-turners we’ve got chiropractors thanking us for booming business. In other words, we like big diamonds and we cannot lie. Especially when they’re mounted in beautifully unique engagement rings settings. White metal still rules the bridal trend scene (although requests for rose gold and yellow gold engagement rings have certainly been on the rise) so today we’re showcasing out white gold and platinum favorites.

White gold and diamond engagement ring in square halo with round diamond

Hello, lover. Micropave split shanks meet diamond studded shoulders before bowing down to a square pave frame mounted with a gorgeous .71ct round brilliant diamond (in addition to the 1 ctw of accent diamonds).

This ring is the definition of refined glamour. A beautiful, prisitine GIA certified G colored VS 2 1.09ct cushion cut diamond is set flush with a platinum halo of .40ctw round brilliants. The shank is a simple, platinum rounded band that won’t compete with the center show.

The stunning 1.16 carat center stone shows off its fabulous color (F) and impeccable clarity (VS2) with a minimalist, clear step cut. The side stones (approximately another carat) sparkle with lots of fire thanks to their brilliant cut, but their trapeze shape nicely mimics the rigid lines of the center diamond. All set in platinum to create an extra luxe look.

Did you just audibly gasp? Good, that’s the appropriate reaction. First of all, let’s discuss the center stone, since there’s no tip-toeing around this elephant in the room. A fabulous, 2.20 ct princess cut, G colored, internall flawless center stone compeletely dominates this ring (in the best possible way). As if that wasn’t enough, an additional carat and a half of round brilliant diamonds studs the shanks. Can you say “yowza?”

Engagement Ring Eye Candy: Picture Frame Engagement Rings

We’re still swooning over all the new engagement rings we got in to our Boca jewelry store last week. With vintage details and beautiful EGL certified diamond center stones, it’s no wonder we can’t get enough. One setting that we’re particularly attracted to is the picture frame setting. Similar to a halo style engagement ring, the picture frame setting features a beautiful surround of pave, channel set or micropave diamonds on the center stone. Plus, the picture frame setting gives you the best of both worlds: if you love the look of a square setting, but fall in love with every round diamond you see, problem solved.

2.33 Carat Diamond Engagement Ring

On this beautiful ring, a small space between the diamond and the frame create a beautiful, open and airy look from the negative space. This has two benefits – one, you get the diamond-enhancing look of a traditional halo, but with a slightly more unique look. Also, should you ever want to upgrade to a larger center stone in the future, your setting allows you to do so.

Platinum Art Deco Inspired 2.34 ct engagement ring

This beauty features an octagon of diamonds (rounds and square shaped step cuts) arranged around a large bezel set round. In case that wasn’t enough diamonds for you (completely understandable), there’s a sprinkling of pave on the shank too!

Vintage style 2.05ct diamond and platinum engagement ring

We just love this stunning and unique engagement ring. Its unusual shape only attracts more attention to the gorgeous (and huge) bezel set diamond. But not to be outshone, the frame features 4 more bezel set rounds with platinum milgrain accents, and two rows of smaller rounds embedded into it.

An Open Letter to Gretchen Rossi’s Engagement Ring

April 26, 2013 12:44 pm , 2 Comments ,

Readers, it’s time for some real talk. We’d like to chat about the Gretchen Rossi engagement ring pictures making the internet rounds, but first we want to make a few things clear.

  1. Nothing but love for Gretchen proposing to him – we think it’s great when women pop the question and doubly great that Slade has a man-gagement ring (and it’s really cool too – black gold with black diamonds.)
  2. We’re based in Boca Raton. The bigger the diamond, the better. The bigger the fancy yellow, even better – hello, we collect 12 carat internally fancy yellows like no one’s business. It pains us and confuses us that we dislike this ring so much.
  3. Engagement rings are highly personal statements. One woman’s treasure is another’s travesty, so obviously our opinion means zilch to Gretchen, who we’re assuming loves her ring. All that being said, we can’t bring ourselves to ooh and ahh over this ring the way we do over the dozens we ogle each day.

There’s just something so off about this ring. The 4 carat round brilliant fancy yellow diamond looks like it’s got an impeccable clarity grade, but that color is just so off. It looks either irradiated (which is fine, when it’s done right) or like a strange shade of vivid FY. Bringing it back to the positive, jeweler Danny Arik’s addition of a white diamond frame around the stone is lovely. It adds a nice finish to the stone, which would have looked strange in just a prong setting. We’re not nuts about the addition of the trapeze cut white diamonds on the side (we would have preferred just the round brilliant in the white diamond picture frame setting). But, in the O.C., more is more. No comment on her statement nail.
