Posted on May 14, 2015 by Mary Hood | 0 Comments

We’re living in an exciting era for jewelry. There are endless options for engagement rings, allowing you to express your distinct taste while declaring your love. The diamond solitaire will always be a classic, but nontraditional designs, including colorful stones and unique settings, are on the rise.

Below are a few gemstone rings from our collection that embrace this vivid trend. Each ring features a twig band cast from foliage found in New York City’s Central Park. All rings are handmade in NYC and available in various shades of 18K reclaimed gold. Please see product listings for more details, and feel free to contact us with any questions. 

Emerald-cut golden beryl evokes vibrant tropical sunsets in this elegant, art deco-inspired setting. Two bright beryllium sapphires flank the charming yellow stone. This eye-catching combination is perfect for a spirited beauty.

A diamond may be forever, but legend has it that beryl brings joy and marital love to its wearer while the golden beryl in particular also promotes sincerity and sympathy. Now that sounds like a lovers’ gem!
