A Ring for Every Bennet Sister: Pride and Prejudice Inspired Engagement Rings

By on August 8, 2017
Bennet Sisters from Pride and Prejudice

Fictional as they are, the Bennets are one of literary’s most treasured families. Appearing in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” since then the Bennets have continued to charm readers centuries later. The daughters: diverse, spunky, and heroines for many readers (including all of us at Premiere Jewelry), each have readily formed opinions on proper conduct and love, and despite general drama, many find blissful happiness in marriage.

While only three wed in the novel, we thought it would be fun to take a look at all our Bennet girls’ personalities and pick a contemporary engagement ring that might suit them best.

Mother and Daughter Wedding Prep

With all the duties to take care of in the weeks before the wedding, it’s easy to forget how important the other women in the wedding are. Yes, yes, the bride tribe is second to none, but in this case, we mean the mother of the bride (and the mother of the groom of course). Often overlooked, a child’s wedding day can be just as important to the parents as it is to the bride and groom themselves. And wanting to show their support for the couple, mothers often enjoy the opportunity to proudly stand out on the day of their child’s wedding!

As such, we’ve prepared some tips and tricks for helping bride mamas look their best without stealing the attention away from their daughters.

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.

As some of our own staff will attest, these lesser used diamonds are sometimes the most glamorous and most favored for people with bold personalities.

By on March 13, 2017
Unique Wedding Bans at Golden Tree Jewellers located in Langley, British Columbia

 

To some, weddings can seem like the apex of old-world tradition. An artifact of days gone past when the cotton was high, the fish were jumping, and the living was easy. And while this conception of the wedding is still the case in some situations, we’re seeing more and more couples that have rejected the “classic” marital traditions in favor of contemporary, fun, and most of all, unforgettably unique ceremonies and weddings.

For example, at PJD we’ve seen weddings hosted everywhere from churches to libraries to bars to barns to treehouses, and serving everything from gourmet donuts to curry stations and everything in-between.

So it should come as no surprise that we have seen some pretty memorable and truly unique wedding bands. Past are the days where a wedding band had to be plain and unadorned. Instead, today men’s and women’s wedding bands are every bit as glamourous, gleaming, and sophisticated as any diamond engagement ring.

That’s why we’ve put together this short guide to some of our favorite bold, distinct, and one-of-a-kind wedding bands available right now.
