Our digital diamond feed showcases a selection of the best cut diamonds from around the world, evaluated and chosen by our in-house diamond experts, that represent the perfect balance (analytically and financially) for you. With our Beyond the 4Cs® approach to cut, brilliance, and beauty, we curate a recommendation of impeccable options based on your unique preferences and budget.
“While a GIA certificate is a great place to start, our team visually examines each diamond looking for the best ‘make’ (cut, outline, brilliance and visual beauty combined). This is how we go Beyond the 4Cs®.
No two diamonds are alike, therefore the most beautiful stones are also the most desirable. These are the diamonds we exclusively look for and work with. “
Cut grade, carat weight, color grade and clarity grade. Today, the 4Cs of Diamond grading is the universal language for assessing the quality of any diamond, anywhere in the world. The creation of the 4Cs represents two very important things; that diamond quality can be communicated in a universal language, and consumers know exactly what they are about to purchase.
We take the sourcing of our diamonds very seriously to ensure we do not sell conflict diamonds. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards conflict diamonds, and work exclusively with vendors from countries that adhere to the US Department of State’s Kimberley Process.
All of our diamond center stones (for engagement rings and stud earrings 1.00 carat and above) are GIA certified.
It’s more common for colored gemstones to not be certified because there is no formal, internationally recognized, system for universally grading the spectrum of color (including level of hue or saturation) for colored gemstones. Simply put, there are too many variables. It’s most common to only see certificates provided for stones that have a unique or storied country of origin or a gem that has natural characteristics that might heavily influence its value.
Our designs are exclusively set with diamonds and select precious + semi-precious gemstones (blue, pink and purple Sapphires, select spinels or rare Rubies).
We exclusively set rare, natural Fancy Vivid Pink Argyle® Diamond pavé in 18k Rose Gold and natural, Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond pavé is always set in 18k Yellow Gold to highlight the hue and saturation of their respected colors.
Adding colored diamond pavé to our designs is available at an additional cost. Please contact Customer Service to assist with any special requests.
The pricing is the same for all of the metal options. Each of our rings are handcrafted, made to order, in your choice of 18k Gold (white, yellow or rose) or Platinum. You may also choose a two-tone combination of metal as well.
The band (shank) on the majority of our engagement ring designs is 2.00mm wide. A 2.00mm wide band is also the thinnest option offered, since it also provides the perfect balance of strength and refinement for everyday wear.
We have a selection of showroom samples available to view during a showroom visit. This is a wonderful way to see our most popular designs in-person and will give you a sense of our quality, and craftsmanship. We invite you to Schedule a Visit.

A careful adjustment to your engagement ring ensures that it fits perfectly and with the greatest of comfort. Our master jewelers apply their technical expertise to finely adjust your engagement ring.
Your engagement ring should fit snug but comfortably. It should slide on easily, but you should have to pull a little to get it off. If your ring is uncomfortably tight or it slips off with no resistance at all, your ring should be sized.
If you notice that the stone moves from one side of your finger to another, we suggest adding half-moon sizing beads inside the band. It will decrease the ring by approximately a quarter of a size ( – 1/4). They are also used to address issues like the swinging/spinning of a large diamond ring or larger knuckles.
Fingers can shrink or bloat for many reasons, many of them temporary, like cold weather, salt intake, pregnancy, or weight loss. We highly recommend limiting the frequency of sizing your ring, since every resizing negatively affects the strength of the metal.

Using the provided SparkleSparkle® cleaner that we provide upon purchase, on a daily basis is highly recommended. We also recommend using a small in-home ultrasonic cleaner.
Gemstones (both precious and semi-precious) are softer than diamonds. You should always be conscious when wearing gemstones and remove your jewelry (keeping it somewhere safe & secure) when doing any type of activity that might expose it to rough surfaces or impact. For example, this might include: gardening, household chores, intense sports or trips to the gym.
Our pieces are created for everyday wear, but we recommend removing your ring/band during workouts, household chores or any other strenuous activity.
For a light cleaning, we recommend using the SparkleSparkle® cleaner provided at least once a day and an in-home ultrasonic cleaner once a week.
