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…

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…

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…
