MY FAVORITE RINGS

ph: my own

My favorite rings. Yellow gold, delicate + dainty.
Below are the details on each (second photo- from left to right, then center)...

+ Victorian Halo Pavé Diamond Ring: Found this beauty on Ebay from Peter Suchy Jewelers.
The moment I saw it, I fell in love with the floating design. They also have this art deco stunner... it kinda reminds me of Angelina Jolie's engagement ring.

+ Gold 'Oui' Ring: After a failed hunt for the original Dior ring last year, I came across this version on Etsy from Street Bauble. Check my original post on it here.

+ My Engagement Ring: A vintage solitaire diamond set in platinum with a yellow gold band.
It was inspired by my great-grandmother's diamond ring. Since I was little, I adored hers- it was classic + simple, so I knew I wanted the same. Love how well it goes with my other rings.

+ Jacquie Aiche Diamond Waif Bezel Ring: Cutest lil thing. I got this ring in a smaller size so I could wear it as a pinky ring or as a knuckle ring.

+ Bittersweets NY Teensy Diamond Ring: Handmade, thin, delicate + perfect for stacking.

+ Mara Carrizo Scalise Rain Ring: Love the this texture this ring gives to my stack.

MY AFTERNOON AT HARRY WINSTON

ph: Ana Schechter

Last week, I was invited to HARRY WINSTON on 5th Avenue for lunch and to check out their iconic engagement ring collection. The moment I stepped through the door I was in diamond heaven! I was given the opportunity to create my dream engagement ring with Harry Winston designers. My dream design would then be sketched for me to take home. I got to see every diamond cut and setting imaginable. I mean, I just about died slipping these rings on my finger! Seriously, the most sparkling beauties I have ever seen! The design I fell in love with was a classic three-carat, round brilliant diamond solitaire ring ♥

We then headed to Harry Winston's old private office (via his tiny personal elevator!), where we were greeted with a delicious elderflower cocktail- one of the best I've ever had! Over cocktails, I got to watch the beautiful video I exclusively posted for you above, showing the design making process of these engagement rings from beginning to end. Ring making is truly an art!

Over the three course lunch we chatted about the diamonds and got to hear some great stories about Harry Winston's history, their charity involvement, and hear about some amazing celebrity and royal encounters. Before leaving, I was presented with my personalized engagement ring sketch- a perfect souvenir that I will make sure to show my boyfriend every chance I get! ;)

Overall, I truly appreciated the personalized experience and getting to learn more about the history and art behind these creations. I want to send out a huge thank you to the Harry Winston team for one of the dreamiest afternoons I've ever had!

Head on over to HARRY WINSTON to check out all of their engagement rings.
I dare you not to fall in love with one!
