Diamond Fine Jewelry Inspired by Georges Melies

By on April 7, 2017

Georges Méliès was one the most innovative and prolific filmmakers of his generation. In the late 1800s, Méliès began his artistry, quickly establishing admiration and respect as he was the first filmmaker to successfully form stories, build gorgeous set designs, and most notably for creating illusions with jump cut and other tricks that sparkled and made his audience fall in love. His most popular film was released in 1902 and was called Le Voyage dans la Lune, also known as, A Trip to the Moon. We couldn’t help but make some comparisons to some of our favorite pieces of diamond necklaces, diamond earrings, diamond bracelets, and diamond rings collection. During this golden age, jewelers pulled inspiration from ancient civilizations to develop this nouveau style using fine diamonds, silver, and gold with geometric shapes. Shapes that particularly became a massive craze were moons and stars. Here are some starry-eyed diamond necklaces that are sure to stand out and throw you back to the French gold age of dreams and glamour.

Our Favorite Engagement Ring Picks for Jakob!

By on March 28, 2017

It. Has. Finally. Happened. After months of sharing our wedding picks and tricks with one another (and with you), one of our own is going to get engaged! That’s right, one of the boys in accounting, Jakob, has talked with his lady love and they have decided to take the leap! Like the awesome couple they are, they have talked things through, but Jakob still plans to surprise his partner, Jennifer, when it comes to the actual presentation of the engagement ring.

A little bit about the couple, Jakob and Jennifer have been together for over seven years. And while they have been happily living together for the better part of those years, they finally decided it was time to get married and make it official. Jakob works with us as one of our loyal accountants and Jennifer works with young adults with disabilities, providing support in and around the community. They are a cute couple and often Jennifer sends us treats through Jakob. We are, needless to say, very excited about all of this.

In all our excitement, we decided that it would be fun to put together a list of some of our office’s favorite designer engagement rings for Jakob to consider when he goes out to shop for Jennifer’s ring.
