What No One Tells You about Engagement Ring Shopping (& 3 Rings that are Worth It)

By Heather Smith on September 5, 2018

Let’s be honest:

Engagement ring shopping is hard, even for those with insider knowledge of the industry. There always seems to be an ever-widening gap between what you really want and what you can realistically afford.

But in recent years, bridal jewelry companies have worked harder to accommodate the changing needs of those shopping for engagement rings. Big brands like James Allen, Blue Nile, and Brilliant Earth have focused their efforts in creating a seamless online shopping experience in an attempt to win over technologically-savvy couples heading to the altar.

With an emotionally-charged high ticket purchase like an engagement ring, there will always be the pressure of choosing one that is “good enough.” And too often, that reality overshadows everything else.

So, if you’ve just started to delve into the engagement ring industry in the hopes of finding the perfect one for your perfect one, here are a few things to keep in mind.

The pear is no doubt a delicious fruit, but it’s also the stunning luxe design of the moment in engagement rings. Celebrities have been at the forefront of this exciting jewelry trend, and we can tell you that the pear shaped engagement ring is getting all the buzz.

Socialite Paris Hilton has been spotted sporting a whopping $2 million, 20-carat pear-cut dazzler. Hip-hop singer Cardi B is also wearing the trend with a $500,000 engagement sparkler.

Then, of course, there’s pop star Ariana Grande proudly showing off her stunning pear shaped engagement ring from SNL’s Pete Davidson. The pretty bling boasts a $93,000, 3.03-carat diamond set in platinum.

The pear cut, or teardrop shape, is a classic vintage style that has recently exploded onto the scene. The beauty in the pear shape offers its wearer some versatility. The ring can be worn with the diamond facing up or down, so it is your choice, ladies and gentlemen. There are also hip, pear cut diamonds designed in east-west or side stone settings.

Stylish Matching Wedding Bands for Brides and Grooms

By on November 21, 2017

Worn by women for hundreds of years, it isn’t until recently (since World War ll) that men have joined in on the tradition of wearing wedding bands to mark their union. And with an endless selection of designers and styles, modern couples can easily express their shared love for one another with matching wedding bands while still showing off their individual style.

Matching wedding bands is a great way to publically honor the marriage for a lifetime to come, but what does matching really mean? it could mean a number of things, but for our purposes we are considering matching wedding bands, bands that are complementary in precious metal (yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, platinum, etc.), similar stone use (diamonds, colored diamonds), same style (pave, prong, channel), and/or same finish (polished, matte, hammered). What’s more, many contemporary designers craft bridal rings for both men and women, so couples have an easier time finding matching bands from their favorite designer.

To make your shopping experience easier, below we select matching women’s and men’s wedding bands from some of our favorite designers in traditional, contemporary, and alternative styles.

“Something Blue” Fashion Jewelry Pieces for the Stylish Bride

By on November 2, 2017

With this year coming to a close and engagement season coming up, it’s time to once again revisit all our favorite bridal things. Not to be overlooked, the fashion jewelry a bride wears on her big day matters just as much as the wedding dress itself. And while there are multiple ways of tackling bridal fashion jewelry, some brides look to family traditions when shopping for their bridal jewelry. One we see every year in the PJD office is the “something borrowed, something blue” Old English Rhyme. Once thought to bring luck and a promise of fertility, now it has become a wonderful tradition for brides to observe if they want.

While there are many clever and interesting ways for brides to wear their four ritual items, we thought it would be interesting to look at possible fashion jewelry to meet one of the special criteria. For brides still looking for their “something blue,” we’ve discovered an array of gorgeous blue-hued fashion jewelry pieces that fit the stylish bride-to-be perfectly.
