I Saw a Mine Cut Diamond Last Night

Last night I met a lovely woman that was purposed to with a Georgian style engagement ring from Doyle and Doyle. Doyle and Doyle is a jewelry store in New York that specializes in antique and estate sale jewelry. Her ring was rose gold with a very unique setting called a buttercup and a beautiful mine cut diamond set in the center. The stone had a lot of fire and luster.

Rings like this are often passed down from generation to generation. A tradition I fully endorse. If your looking for a antique heirloom ring in New York Doyle and Doyle is a great shop. There are many antique jewelry store out there, you just need to do your homework and look for store with a good reputation. Recently I was in New Orleans and found some really lovely pieces at the Silver Smith in the French Quarter for 1000-1600$.

One can also find many online stores like Circa 1930s that manufacture replications of antique rings . If you are shopping for an antique and estate ring don't exclude rings without diamonds, and make sure to get legitimate paper work appraising the stone.

It was brought to my attention that I have not been equal-opportunity and I do apologize. I'm going to correct that with this post and with future postings. In this day and age how could I forget that a woman is free to propose to a man and men propose to other men.

The first series of rings are by Todd Reed. His work is very raw, masculine, and rugged. He uses raw diamonds, an untraditional material, channel setting them in a number of pieces with a combination of metals. Todd Reed's work feels modern and ancient all at the same time. I particular like ring TRDR506l color and finish with the small diamonds worked in to the side of the band. Ring TRDR125 metals combination and diamond work is really striking.

The next few rings are from Sarah Perlis. Perlis' work is refined with faint textures and far more traditional. Her work is elegant but not too feminine.

The last group comes from Zoe & Doyle. Their work is extremely modern not just in look but also materials and technique. This first group has a variety of inventive material combinations of wood, metal, ebony or carbon fiber. The final group comes from Zoe & Doyle are all Titanium bands, a very popular material for mens' rings. The jeweler is able to play with the color with the metal producing a lot of surprising combinations. I have to say I favor the matte finish combinations.

I don't have examples posted but Tungsten, Platinum and Palladium are also very popular metals for mens' band.

Rings from the shadow collection

Sarah Graham's Pebble Collection has some nice solitaries that are simple with unique texturing and petite diamonds. I find her blackened steel work really interesting and different. Grahams mixing of blackened steel with finished gold bezel setting, set with the cognac diamond is seen throughout her Pebble collection. The diamonds really pop with the contrast between the two metals and on the larger band it really shows even more so. If you like the blackened band I recommend looking at some of her other pieces in the Pebble collection. There are some very ornate wide bands worth looking into for wedding bands.
