I was recent emailed by a blog reader to check out Marissa Alperin after a great experience she had. I'm very happy she did.

Marissa's work is bright and fresh as well as clean and modern. She uses a wide range of stones in brilliant stand out colors. Great color combination with tourmalines and sapphires. She has some interesting designs and shapes. Some of the pieces have a very simplified Temple St Clair feeling. Over all I am partial more to her solitaire's and simplifed settings. Her multicolored bands a a bit much for me.

Over all nice work and affordable.

Single B Beautiful uses a variety of stones such as white sapphires, mossinate, conflict free diamonds and other beautiful colored gems. She notes under every peiee how she works with conflict free materials for those conscientious buyers. She like many jewelry's I've noticed have started to use white sapphire as a diamond alternative for engagement rings. Sapphire do have some obvious difference in look but I find them very beautiful. An by not using diamonds one can easy have a 1 carat stone.

One of her signature series is the Raw Circle . The pieces from this collection have bezel set stones with simple bands. The bezel is hammered with patterns that remind me of tool marks in clays like cuneiform. She uses sliver something I haven't seen in use much on wedding ring but I like the idea that you will see the wear of time on the ring. Sliver scratch and wears. So the ring ages and wears like ones relationship. Single B Beautiful also uses a really lovely shade of rose gold. The rose gold compliments the white sapphires very nicely and some of her other pieces with colored gems like pink moissanite, tourmaline or violet sapphires. So, check her out if your looking for something modern and organic that very reasonably priced and special.

Custom Ring From Kay Who Knew

Custom designed platinum ring with side trillion cut diamonds and a lab created princess cut blue sapphire.

Recently, I was in the DC, North Virginia area for the holidays and I saw two very nice custom rings. The first ring that I'm showing I was surprised to find came from Kay Jeweler's. I figured that Kay only did custom rings in terms of using pre-made settings and adding stones. However, the Kay Jeweler's this couple went to happened to work with local jewelers in the area, and this couple was able to get a completely original custom design with a Celtic influence. The Bride had to have the ring in platinum due to her job in Chemistry. If it was in white gold the rhodium coating would come off from the chemicals she works with.

Rings Fit For A Fairy Tale Princess

What kind of ring would one give a fairy tale princess from Brother's Grim tales - an Elegant beauty set against dark forces in mysterious tales? A ring from Cathy Waterman.

Wheat Band with Princess Cut Diamond Platinum / Diamond Wheat Band with Princess Cut Center Stone $4,920.00

Jeweler Cathy Waterman's work is whimsical with little bit of gothic fairy tale. Waterman's work could easily adorn Snow White or Cinderella. Her "Love of my life" series is truly worthy of a princess. These pieces are more refined then some of her other work with fine milgrain and lots of small fine diamonds set throughout a single band or helping accent the large stones.

For the traditionalist, her simple diamond and platinum solitaire settings are elegant and lovely and can work with any number of bands that she produces. For the non-traditionalist she also works with a wide range of other gem stones; turquoise, aquamarine and sapphire to name a few. With her work its possible to mix and match bands and rings very nicely, so one could easily sandwich a engagement ring between to band nicely.
