Bloom Studio Trys Somthing New

A natural golden greenish brown faceted diamond slice has been wrapped in the sunny warmth of 22k gold and is accented with a sweet 2.5mm champagne diamond set. Total diamond weight is .33 carats. The diamonds are then perched atop an 18k hammered 1.5mm thin gold band and the entire piece has been given a modern matte satin finish.

Bloom studio states this as "Rustic elegances." I"ll agree with that. It's nice to see the designer pushing herself to try something different. I think it's a fun and quirky ring.

Me and Ro Is Ok By Me

ME & Ro - Pave Solitaire $1,340.00

I know Me and Ro is a fair sized operation with four boutique stores and over 100 employees, but I really love their work. Indian and Tibetan styled pieces using Indian diamonds and more. Over the weekend I stopped by their lower Manhattan store and tried on a few pieces. The sales lady was great., and really helpful with a personal style. (I was digging her double one side nose piercing.) I want to post this ring in particular. I've been a fan of this ring since I saw it but I had never gotten a chance to see it in person, until now. The pave on the side was so fine and tiny I was very impressed. I've seen rings online at a couple of places with slightly different pricing, only a difference of a few hundred dollars. It’s a great ring for the price I think. I also tried on a champagne diamond eternity band I wish I had a picture of it to post, but unfortunately Me and Ro don’t have all their pieces online so you just have to go there and look for it.

Yellow Tulips Mean Perfect Hopeless Love

There's an old Persian love story about Hüsrev and Shirin. This story can be linked to the origins of the romantic symbolism of the tulip. Within this story Hüsrev sends, Ferhad a rival for Shirin away to trouble him no more. One version of this story says Ferhad - broken hearted - traveled out in to the dessert wilderness to die, for he had no reason to live without his beloved. As he began to feel his heart breaking from the sadness of loosing her, he started to cry. As he cried his tears fell to the ground and grew into tulips. From this story tulips have become a sign of ones devotion to there beloved.

Yellow tulips in particular are a sign of being truly, madly and hopelessly in love. So what could be more perfect then a yellow gold tulip wedding band as a sign of your devotion.

Petite Wow & Rose Cut

There’s a growing trend to use conflict free and natural colored diamonds. What’s good is that you know you're not helping fund illegal operations of rebels and or terrorists. Also, using one of these alternative options can bring down the cost of the ring.

I find natural diamonds are just cool alternatives to the tradition white diamond. Chocolate, blue, green or go goth, go black.

A popular cut for these alternative colored stones is one of my personal favorites, the Rose cut.

This ring in particular is modern and clean with a twist. It’s a moderation of the traditional solitaire setting, a white rose cut conflict free diamond with a 14kt Yellow Gold band and 14kt White Gold Bezel around the stone. The light hammered touches on the band adds a human touch, the signature of the artisan. It would have a very different feeling if the band was a perfect cast, cold and impersonal.

It’s a very sincere and sweet ring. I'd recommend the combination of this thin hammered.

14kt White Gold Bezel, White Rose Cut Diamond: 3mm (0.10 carat), 14kt Yellow Gold Band: 1mm $195.00 USD

slim - hammered 14kt gold band $47.00

Pale Lovely Lavender In 2.5 Carats

I found this ring while browsing through Etsy one of my favorite places to find new pieces and emerging studios. This is a simple and elegant ring with a cocktail sized Morganite stone. It has a great combination of understated and subtle colors. The stone has a really lovely shade of soft pink/lavender that work wonderfully with the pale 14k yellow gold band.
