ENGAGEMENT RINGS: WHY GEMSTONES MATTER
Your love is uniquely mysterious and wonderful - and the reason a certain ring embodies something personally profound and beautiful for the person who wears it!
For any ring you wear every day, choosing a durable gemstone on the hard side of the Mohs Scale is ideal. In this video, I explain why diamonds and sapphires are great options, and pearls and opals are brilliant for cocktail rings. There are so many alluring colored gemstones that make beautiful engagement rings, from spinel to tourmaline!
More than ever, it is important to choose diamonds or colored gemstones that are traceable and responsibly sourced, as well as ensure gold or precious metals are not financing conflict.
Shop engagement rings that dynamically reflect your love that align with your values.
