Last week, in addition to all the bridal shows and tabletop presentations being held throughout the city, it was also time for the jewelry show. And what a show. I had the honor of attending a celebration hosted by Stephen Russell called "Platinum Jewels In Bloom," and they showed me the most gorgeous vintage and vintage-inspired jewels, from sparkling colored-stone engagement ring to the most vibrant sapphire pieces.
Do you have your eye on a colored stone for your engagement ring, or do you have one already? I'd love to hear all about it!

What timing - my fiance and I just designed my ring on Saturday - a diamond with a sapphire on either side. I really wanted a sapphire center, but compromised with my lovely husband-to-be, who thought that a diamond says "Hello, I am an engagement ring." We both really like color, and I think there are so many gemstones that are beautifully suited for engagement rings.

I decided on a pale aquamarine -- it's gorgeous and it looks darker or lighter depending on the light. I also picked yellow gold, which not many people go for these days. The stone is princess and is surrounded by tiny diamonds. I love it!

I love my sapphire engagement ring! It's a brilliant blue cushion cut 1.5 carat sapphire and it sparkles so much! We had the setting designed after a victorian ring that I loved the shape of but with an art deco inspired pierced engraving. We saw it this way, we can afford a mediocre diamond, or a fabulous sapphire that is as unique and lovely as anything!

Was up in Montreal a Few weeks, we had talked about going to a jeweler in Montreal we had heard of from some friends, S. P. DIAMENT JEWELS. Well my boyfriend proposed to me, it was just prefect, a little chill in the air a touch of snow falling, anyways it was beautiful. we went straight to S. P. DIAMENT and together we designed the most beautiful yellow diamond ring I have ever seen, ( was really nice to be able to be involved in the design aspect, they even made me a model in silver in case there was any thing I wanted to change) it was a 3 ct Cusion cut yellow diamond surrounded by tiny white diamonds and a platinum and yellow gold mounting, anyways if you're ever in montreal go to S. P. DIAMENT JEWELS, best jeweler I've ever been to.
