Craftsmanship

Appearances can be deceiving, and while two rings may share a similar design, it’s the intricacies of their craftsmanship that ultimately determine their value and quality.

Shop Together!

A popular option is to bring your partner in to “pre-shop,”  they want a say in what their engagement ring looks like!  At this time I can measure her finger and get an idea of her general sense of style. We won’t discuss pricing at this appointment but make sure to include your budget in your appointment request so that I can steer her toward the right rings.

Some couples will buy it on the spot, but most will come back separately to finalize the transaction. This way you will still be able to surprise her.

Moissanite

Moissanite is a man-made stone that mimics a diamond. It has a higher refractive index showing off more colors and sparkle. They are the second hardest stone to a diamond making a great option for an engagement ring at a lower price.
