Alternatives!

Ladies and gentlemen, may we present to you: Alternative Wedding and Commitment Rings!

Whether you are about to get engaged or you're preparing for a totally awesome commitment ceremony, the design consultants at Studio Vincent are excited to help you find exactly what you're looking for.

We definitely have a great selection of diamond rings here at the gallery, but if you're not a fan of the big sparkly, that's just fine. Not only can we show you a huge selection of bands and rings in cool metals and unusual textures, but we are happy to sit down with you to design something special. The rings pictured below were created by Emily Johnson of EC Designs. These clients wanted something unique, and while they liked the idea of the solitaire, they opted for a big square of red gold with a tiny diamond in place of a larger gem.

The "solitaire" ring was created out of 14k and 18k red gold with a hammered texture and a tiny champagne diamond, and the wedding band underneath is hammered 18k grey gold. The other wedding band was also made from 18k grey gold with a 14k pink cell and a black diamond. This couple worked with Emily to select stock pieces they liked and then designed their rings with their own twist. They chose precious metals over sterling silver to ensure longevity of the rings and they were thrilled with the finished product!



This set is a perfect example of how easy it is to design alternative wedding and commitment rings. If you like the idea of a one of a kind set, scurry down here today to talk to a design consultant.

Colored diamonds, cool clients and creativity!

If you've been following the Studio Vincent blog for the past few months, you've probably read about our love of colored diamonds, stacking rings, and custom designs.  I recently had the pleasure of working with an amazing couple to combine all of those elements into a completely awesome wedding set. 

Let's call these new clients Rosie and Doc.  Two of the most enjoyable people one could hope to work with, they drove over 4 hours to come visit our humble gallery!  Rosie had been working with Emily, our gallery director, to get an idea of what sort of engagement ring she liked, and they settled of Stephen's beautiful 'Forma' design.  With a wider shank and a sculpted u-bezel, this ring is contemporary, but shows the classic beauty of an asscher-cut diamond. 

Upon arriving at the gallery, Rosie and Doc sat down with Megan and me, and the four of us looked at all of the different designs.  Rosie still liked the Forma ring best, and we picked out a STUNNING 1.01 carat ESI1 asscher-cut diamond.  Seriously...we could not stop looking at this gem. 

The easy part over, Rosie then had to choose a wedding band to go with her engagement ring. How could she choose?  With so many color and style choices the selection seemed tough...until we pulled out the colored diamonds.  I think Rosie might actually have squealed.  Megan and I examined each and every diamond and selected the most beautiful ones we could find: green, blue, aqua, pink and white.  AMAZING.  The design was playful and whimsical, but the diamonds were small enough so that the band was modest enough for Rosie's taste.  How could she say no?

Doc selected his Muse Helsinki ring with red gold inlay with almost no trouble, and then we decided to add an element of red gold to Rosie's set...an echo of Doc's ring, if you will. 

When the order was placed, I was sad to see Rosie and Doc go, and even sadder to think that I wouldn't get to see the looks on their faces when their new rings were delivered to them, 4 hours away.  Our goldsmiths, Stephen and Susan outdid themselves on this order.  The rings turned out beautifully and it was such a pleasure to work with these fantastic people.

I hope they enjoy their rings, and, if you like what you see, come visit us at Studio Vincent and we can design something perfect for you!
