A stack of art deco rings from Paris Hotel Boutique. The top one is my favorite, how about you? I like it because it combines angular and circular elements at the same time.

Handmade Rings

Today I have found some interesting and unique handmade rings on Etsy that I would love to share. Anytime I can show off handmade wedding goodies, I will take the opportunity. Some recent trends in rings have us shouting for yellow gold and colored diamonds. Take a look at what we’ve found, and let us know what you think of yellow gold and colored diamonds.

Handmade Yellow Gold and Colored Diamond Wedding Rings

janishjewels

From JanishJewels, for $795.00. The artist says, “Stunning, big, natural, uncut, raw, conflict free rough diamond set in 18k gold bezel on hammered 14k gold band. The diamond measures approximately 10.2mm X 11.8mm and weighs 4.80cts! The band is approx. 2.8mm wide X 1.25mm thick. All metal is recycled.”

moiraklime

By moiraklime, this ring can be customized with different metal or stones. $425.00

NIxin

From NIXIN. At only $450, this ring is a steal. From NIXIN, “Part of the Geometrix Series, the “Parker” ring is simple but stunning. The center stone in this particular “Parker” is a .10ct Baguette. The Baguette’s steps, along with the rectangular bezel create a delightful contrast to the soft, satin finished round band. In order to accomplish this seamless look, the bezel is custom made to fit this particular Diamond.”

samanthamcintosh

This unique ring is from SamanthaMcIntosh from $1290.00. She offers a 25% for a matching wedding band. Here is what Samantha McIntosh says about her ring,

“This diamond ring will make the perfect engagement, wedding or anniversary ring for the eco-conscious, ultra unique super woman of your dreams.

This conflict free rose cut pear shaped natural diamond slice is crystal clear with very faint shades of canary and unique refractive inclusions. With a super high polish micro facet surface makes for an extremely sparkly center stone with incredible rainbow fire and luster. It measures 6.0mm X 4.3mm and 0.29ct.”

The 2013 Art of Weddings Bridal Showcase!

I always feel like the holiday season sneaks up on me and I’m left running around trying to get the perfect gift or find decor for the house and cook a wonderful meal. Even though it can feel like a deadline creeping up on you I really enjoy this time of the year. It’s a chance to slow down and enjoy the little things; friends, family and good food!

During this time we are also thrilled to hear about all the newly engaged couples. Besides planning for our holiday gatherings we are also busy, busy organizing a swankier kind of bridal show for you. The 2013 Art of Weddings is going to be a great show. We love hosting it at The Gerding Theater at The Armory in the Pearl District. The venue is stunning and a great location for your ceremony and or reception. This is the first year that David’s Bridal will be joining us. Get ready for a fashion show featuring all their gowns!

We will also have a raffle at the end of the evening where you could win any of these amazing prizes!

5 dozen hors d’oeuveres from Chez Joly Catering.

$100 in cupcake gift certificates from Cupcake Jones.

A bridesmaid bouquet from Old Town Florist valued at $75.
