The Best Celebrity Engagement Rings of All Time

These stunning celebrity engagement rings prove that a diamond—if not a marriage—is forever.
 Engagement rings have not always been all about the diamond: Roman brides were given a gold ring to wear in public and an iron ring to wear at home. In the 1700s, simple poesy rings were popular in Europe, while in New England, Puritan men—shunning frivolous rings—were thought to have given thimbles to their betrothed (though women often cut off the tops and wore them as rings anyway). Fast-forward to 1947 and De Beers’s famous slogan, “A diamond is forever.” The rest is history. Now we have everything from Elizabeth Taylor’s 33-carat diamond from Richard Burton (though it was just a gift, not an engagement bauble) to Kim Kardashian West’s 15-carat diamond from Kanye and Olivia Wilde's brilliant emerald from Jason Sudeikis—ring inspiration galore from some of the dazzling gems sported by stars.

Will Blockchain Be a Boon to the Jewelry Industry?

LONDON — For gem specialists, merchants and gatherers alike, the absolute greatest difficulties are the equivalent — and very natural: How would one be able to ensure the moral provenance of a jewel or valuable stone? Guarantee it is genuine and not phony? How might one secure and track the development of a gem inside a divided and murky store network? What's more, how might one validate responsibility for piece if that is raised doubt about? Various gems industry heavyweights have as of late embraced circulated record innovation, an umbrella term for a mutual and synchronized database, to record such data. What's more, excited defenders of blockchain, the basic framework, say the innovation could be a conceivable — and progressive — check arrangement, albeit one still in its outset. Blockchain, which has been utilized since 2009 to support the digital currency Bitcoin, enables an exchange to be recorded forever on a database shared among PCs without depending on an o...

Enamored with Enamel Jewelry

What do you think of enamel jewelry? Personally, until a couple years ago, I hadn’t given it much thought. But with its resurgence in popularity, I’m becoming a big fan!! Certainly enamel is nothing new, as it dates back to the 13th Century BC! (If you want to read more about the history, Lang Antiques has an amazing article about enamel jewelry.) Basically enamel is when a certain type of glass, called an allochromatic, is fused to the metal below. You may be familiar with Closionee and Champleve, which are two popular types of enamel. Today, some jewelers are really taking this tricky technique to new heights, mixing enamel with jewels and themes that really make what’s old new again. Foundrae is one company that really has melded enamel, gold and meaningful talismans together. Here’s their Dark Blossom cuff.   Erica Molinari combines my love of momento mori and enamel in a new type of heirloom ring.  Brooke Gregson adds a whole new dimension to ena...

Splinters from Stars: 10 Facts About Diamonds

Image
This month’s dazzling birthstone is – Diamond! To celebrate this timeless stone, here are 10 fascinating facts about diamonds. The word diamond comes from the Greek word adamas, meaning ‘unbreakable.’ Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth, and the only way to scratch one is to use another diamond. The quality of a diamond is determined by the four C’s: cut, colour, carat and clarity. A ‘carat’ is equal to 0.2g and is used to measure the weight of a diamond. The term carat comes from the Greek word keration, meaning carob seed. It is believed that carob seeds were once used as a unit of weight since every seed was nearly identical in mass. In 1477, the first known diamond engagement ring was given by the Archduke Maximilian of Austria to Mary of Burgundy, which sparked a trend amongst European nobility. Diamonds are formed miles beneath the Earth’s crust and come to the surface through deep volcanic eruption. The Hope Diamond is one of the most famous s...
