Diamond Cut 101- Which Cut Best Fits Your Personality?

Diamond Cut 101- Which Cut Best Fits Your Personality?

I know I’ve talked about wedding style and engagement jewelry a lot lately. But as I’ve mentioned before, I truly feel that your engagement ring is one of the most valuable pieces of jewelry you’ll ever wear, so it should really represent who you are! I just filmed a vlog with Precision Set Fine Jewelry Works, who have really stunning engagement rings that are available in a variety of center stone cuts. I figured exploring diamond cuts and showing how each cut fits with your personality and style could be super helpful. Your center stone is the part of your ring that stands out the most. It’s an important element of your ring, so you want to choose it carefully. Obviously you’ll want to consider the size of the stone, but before you do that, you probably want to settle on a cut. Every diamond cut says something specific about the woman who wears it. Now, some of you may already know exactly what you do and don’t like. But for those of you who aren’t sure, I’m going to tell you what type of personality each diamond cut represents to help you find the ring that best embodies you. I?ll start with the traditional round cut diamond. The round cut diamond is one of the most popular cuts for…

Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend

Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend

In case you didn?t get it from the title of this post, we?re talking diamond jewelry today! Obviously, in the title, I had to reference the famous song sung by Marilyn Monroe in the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. If you haven?t seen the film (or at least the clip of this song), do so immediately after reading this post. Marilyn is stunning and the diamonds they showcase are to die for. So why do we love diamonds so much? It?s partly the way they catch the light and sparkle. They are also practically indestructible, which makes them very valuable. Because of their value, diamonds have become a precious commodity. Owning diamond jewelry is the epitome of luxury. Every woman feels special when she?s draped in diamonds. Shouldn?t we, as women, feel special all the time? The answer is yes, of course we should! That?s why we should all have diamonds of our own. There are three classic pieces every woman needs in her jewelry box. Diamond stud earrings are the first, and probably the easiest to acquire. Quality stones can come in all shapes and sizes. You can make a bold statement with 1 carat square-cut studs, or you can try a more subtle look with 1/2 carat round studs. Diamond studs are the perfect go-to earrings for every day,…

Future Fianc?s – Customizing Your Engagement Ring

Future Fianc?s – Customizing Your Engagement Ring

Hey everyone, Bridal season is in full swing, and while I?ve already talked about jewelry style for the wedding guest, now it?s time to talk about the main attraction?the bride! For just about any woman, the actual wedding day is the most important bridal moment. But the engagement takes top priority, too. Where a woman gets engaged (public or private space), how it happens (flash mob or dinner at a favorite restaurant), and the people involved (20 friends or just the couple) are major factors. And obviously the ring itself is a significant part of that moment and beyond. A woman?s engagement ring will likely be the most expensive piece of jewelry she ever owns. Along with the sentimental value that?s attached to it, finding the perfect ring to match your personal style?or to nudge?your significant other in the right direction?is crucial. Now I know that for a lot of ladies, engagement ring daydreaming starts on Pinterest early in a relationship, or even before there actually is a relationship. No judgment here! You deserve the best and most beautiful engagement ring, and it takes time to hone in on what fits that vision for you. There are so many different factors that are combined to create your ideal ring, such as the center stone size and cut, the setting, and…

It’s Wedding Season! Be the Best Dressed Guest

It’s Wedding Season! Be the Best Dressed Guest

I adore weddings. You eat delicious cake, dance the night away, and witness two people in love start the next chapter of their lives together. What?s not to like? But one of my favorite parts of a wedding doesn?t even happen at the actual ceremony or reception–it happens before. You know where I?m going with this. Yes, I love–and I mean love–choosing the perfect outfit to wear. Anytime I get to dress up and be fancy is a good time, so you know I?m going to get excited. The type of ceremony and reception I attend is usually my greatest outfit influencer. If I?m going to an evening shindig at a elegant venue, I might go for a long cocktail dress and heels. An outdoor afternoon wedding means I throw on a tea-length dress and wedges, and take a gauzy wrap if the weather is going to be on the cooler side. But there is one wedding fashion rule I try to keep in mind when choosing an outfit: Do not upstage the bride. This is obvious, but I?m mentioning it anyway. Weddings are not the place to debut that strapless white dress you found at last year?s Labor Day sales. And it?s not just about clothing?what jewelry you wear matters too. So, how do you look on point with…

Welcome to The Jewelry Find Blog

Welcome to The Jewelry Find Blog

Hi everyone, Welcome to my blog! I?m so glad you decided to check it out. I started writing this as an extension of my vlog series, where I show off some pretty fabulous jewelry from amazing designers and offer up style tips. I love what I do, and I really enjoy helping people discover new things that they?ll love, too. This blog is a way for me to continue doing that. Have you ever stopped to think how jewelry is so woven into our daily lives? We wear rings to symbolize our commitment of love to another person, or put on a string of heirloom pearls to remember a grandmother. We throw on a statement collar necklace if we?re in a bold mood on a Friday night, or a pair of delicate studs for an elegant, job-interview worthy look. Jewelry plays an essential role in how we represent our style and ourselves.? Starting from a young age, I?ve been lucky enough to interact with some of the world?s top jewelry designers. I grew up passionate about jewelry and fashion in general, and carried those interests with me when I went to college. A BA in Communications and Media Studies, a BA in Textiles Merchandising, and Design, and an MFA in Fashion Design later, and here I am, so excited to…
