Reinstein/Ross has been a New York City bride-to-be favorite for many years. All their pieces are one of a kind. They are handmade from scratch with no prefabrication process, so each piece is truly made to order. This boutique's designs are Etruscan and Egyptian inspired using classic metal smithing techniques. Their custom peach and apricot gold alloys are signature in there work. Reinstein/Ross claim many women pick their rings long before they have found the husband.


I've only recently discovered Reinstein/Ross while shopping in Soho. Amazing since I've lived in New York 12 years. Reinstein/Ross pieces are larger and thicker then my usual taste in jewelry but they have many options. Here on display are 3 pieces in particular that show the scope of there work and price range. But I'm sure there is something for everyone's style and price range in this collection.

The first time I spotted the Blueberry ring was probably over a year ago while browsing through the Clay Pots site. I immediate loved it for it's simplicity, elegances and delicate execution. I was also surprised at the affordably of the set . Carla Caruso has sculpted a beautiful set of rings that twist and interlock. The Willow rings are a lovely streamed lines version of it the same organic idea.

ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES & IRREGULAR SHAPES

Sarah Perlis jewelry is a mix of delicately made bands and rough cut precious gems. She manages to make her jewelry romantic, soft and sincere with her use of color and technique. Her style brings to mind the pastel shades of impressionist painting, such as the work of Renoir, Monet or Casatt.


Perlis works with a variety of stones to complement her designs - diamonds, turmaline, sapphire just to name a few. She also takes a successful risk working with irregularly shaped gems.


Rose Cut Round Diamond Ring 1mm to 4mm Diamond available for $275.00-$560.00

Triangular Rose Cut Diamond Ring for $650.00


Her simple solitaire rose cut diamond ring is lovely. A simple bezel style setting with a hammered band. There is a variation of the ring with a triangle rose cut diamond for something a little different. It's the first time I think I've seen a triangle rose cut diamond in a ring, and it's refreshing.


Light Blue Sapphire with side rose cut diamonds price varies with type of gold used.
Diamond and Pale Green Sapphire Ring, Emerald Marquis Ring and Pink Sapphire Ring prices are unavailable at this time.


Three Rose Cut Round Diamond Ring available for $1,500.00

Champagne diamond ring available for $920.00

Round Brilliant Diamond with side Rose Cut Diamonds price unavailable at this time.


If you're looking for something with more stones, she has a number of 3 stone rings. One that caught my attention in particular is the diamond & green sapphire ring. The pale pastel green sapphires are a really nice touch. The use of the green makes the white of the diamond pop. It would be interesting to see a variation of this ring in particular with a pale fuschia sapphire as the center stone instead of a diamond. The mix of this green and fuschia should look extraordinary together. And for those diamond lovers, she also has a few styles of 3 stone diamond rings.
