Celebrity Engagement Rings

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively

"In another romantic tale of life imitating art—except for the superhero secret identity part—heartthrob Ryan Reynolds (Green Lantern) married his onscreen love interest Blake Lively (Carol Ferris) in September at an intimate, secret ceremony with only 35 guests. This is Reynolds’ second marriage—he was previously married to actress Scarlett Johannson—and Lively’s first.

Months after the vows were said, photos finally surfaced of the couple’s special day and the bride’s very special ring. Designed by Lorraine Schwartz, the ring features a flawless oval-cut pink diamond with a band of pavé diamonds in rose gold. Reynolds worked with Schwartz to create the stylish stunner, which is paired with a rose gold wedding band accented by diamonds. The ring more than makes up for the wedding’s lack of glitz, estimated as it is at about 12 carats and a retail value of $1.2 to $2 million—more than any other ring featured since The Jeweler Blog began."

Pantone Color of the Year 2013

It's here, it's here, it's finally here!  Pantone has selected their color of the year for 2013, drum roll please.....Emerald! Let everyone with a May birthday get excited as they might see quite a few more striking birthstone pieces this year!

In the jewelry business it is important to note a few characteristics of emeralds. Take a quick look at the information below to find out more.

• First, they are not a strong enough stone to wear on a daily basis. This does not make the suitable for engagement rings.
• Second, they are a beryl mineral, the same as aquamarines. Unlike aquamarines they crystallize closer to the Earth's surface and therefore have more fractures and scratches.
• Third, the finest colors for emerald gemstones are green blue transparent stones with strong saturation. 
• Fourth, emeralds of fine quality often times come from Columbia and countries in South America.
• Fifth, the Emerald is the birthstone for May.
