New Carla Caruso Jewelry Prices






A few weeks ago I posted this pict of the new line by Carla Caruso. She was getting ready for the New York Gift fair and no price where up yet. Now that the fair is over she has them listed on there site. I'm so excited to share them with you again with a full price list. Something I really like about her work is it's very affordable and she uses white sapphire. By using white sapphires it helps to keep the cost down dramatically and they still look great. She is willing to use other stones if one request.

Champagne diamond

Champagne and Silver Galaxy Diamond. These are just very flawed diamond. I work with this in the piece I make.
I personally find the flaws beautiful and unique perfect is boring.


This is my favor ring of the new collection. A design for a simple prong set.
I wonder how this would look with a pale champagne diamond or a galaxy against the satin finish. I bet it be lovely. When I say Galaxy diamond I mean a very flawed but sparkly diamond.

I'm in love with these bands

Platinum and 22ct gold, Antique old cushion cut diamond 2.53 cts

Platinum with round sapphire 3.65 carats and 2 small ascher cut diamonds

22ct gold with rose cut ruby and 2 rose cut diamonds

Earlier this week a viewer comment that I should take a look at Malcom Betts. I'm totally in love with his work now. I'm so glad that he was brought to my attention. According to Malcom Betts site he became "a goldsmith at the age of 16, Malcolm Betts has pursued his craft ever since. Over eight years of study and training, he refined a distinctive style that has run through his professional work to this day."

This might be a fun analogy to some and you can blame the influences of having the movie Excalibur on in the background but, these rings feel very royal medieval to me. I state this as a positive and I think King Aurther would totally wear these. I know I would. They have a very unique style and look and his gem selection is fantastic. He uses old cuts and antique stones, as well as ethically sourced.


All of his work has a slightly hammer look and roughness that adds to the beauty of the pieces. These techniques work in a way that accentuates his beautiful choice in gems. I'm in love with the combined metal bands.

R¿ng By Sruli Recht





Ring is a 10carat white gold Möbius band with a hand tapped 16gauge. Has three uncut rough diamonds set individually
6.86 carat total weight over three different diamonds. [Black 3.53ct / White 1.88ct / Yellow 1.44ct]

I found this while doing research at work for a project. I have never seen anything like this before. It's very cool how the wearer can change the color of the stone depending on whatever whim she feels. It's a very unique piece and original in concept. If your worried about the stone unscrewing the designer states, " The thread are made with a precise watchmaker thread cutter which fix the setting to the ring so that it must be undone by hand and can´t unscrew itself."

The Only Antique Tiffany Engagement Ring I Will Recommend


Antique Tiffany & Co European Diamond Engagement Ring 3,000$


The reason I'm posting this ring is it from 1886 and an original Tiffany's. Not one of those generically mass made ones.

Moonstone & Sapphire

A 14k white gold setting holds a beautiful iridescent 5.11ct moonstone surrounded by six round cut sapphires (.71 total weight).
