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.





Each ring will vary depending on the diamonds avaliable. Hand carved in 18k gold with round and rose-cut pear shaped diamonds $2,360.00 

This ring is a simple design and it lets this uniquely cut diamond really stand out. It reminds me of the diamonds I saw in London in the Crown Jewelers. There were so many rose cut stones. So fantastic! This boxy rose cut is a great alternative cut if you're looking for something unusual and very romantic. A princess cut diamond can be so cliche and I think they look so cold. In theory, I think the princess cut sounds like a great the idea but they don't look right on most hands. The extra cuts on this diamond soften the look and it feels more elegant.

A modern setting for an old fashioned cut. This classic emerald cut white sapphire (6mm x 4mm) is set in a simple half-round band (2mm x 1.35mm), in 14k gold. $385.00
Green Amethyst Organic Ring



Recently, I went for a whirlwind trip to London to see 2 wonderful friends, the Tate Modern and Depeche Mode. On a day's outing we stopped at a small market at the Wharf on London's Southbank, between Waterloo and Blackfriars Bridge near the Tate Modern. I happened upon the work of Mikala Djorup. Mikala is a Danish born designer whose work is quite modern. She creates very organic handmade settings that present a set stone in a unique way, some having an almost Dr Seuss feel. Her settings protrude up and out presenting the stone on a elegant pedestal. She has many pieces with cognac diamonds and gold. May favorite piece I sadly don't have a close up picture of, so you will have to get the idea from my drawing. It was a cognac diamond emerald cut just under a carat set in white gold or platinum in a 4 prong setting. It is a great example of the up and out setting I mentioned earlier. I liked her solitaire stone pieces more then her stacked tube pieces. But, this is just personal preference.
So, if you're on vacation and have the time or you're a Londoner who read this blog go check her out!
