WHAT WE OFFER ARE TRULY REVOLUTIONARY RINGS, BUT ONLY FOR REVOLUTIONARY THINKERS.
[

BREAK AWAY FROM CONVENTIONAL THINKING THAT CLAIMS ONLY MINED DIAMONDS ARE FIT FOR AN ENGAGEMENT RING, AND IN RETURN GET THE RING OF YOUR DREAMS. OUR PATENT PENDING STONES MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO AFFORD LIMITLESS LUXURY. AND BECAUSE OF OUR IMPECCABLE QUALITY, NOT EVEN YOUR JEWELER WILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. ARE YOU READY TO EMBRACE THE REVOLUTION?
SHOPPING FOR DIAMOND JEWELRY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
IMAGINE LIFE WITH A DIAMOND NEXUS ENGAGEMENT RING.
Over the last century, the diamond industry has spent billions of dollars to convince you of two things: 1. Your engagement ring must be an expensive mined diamond…nothing else will do. 2. It should cost at least 3 months salary. The truth is if you can free yourself from your prejudices about how much a ring should cost and where your jewel should come from, you can have exactly the ring of your dreams with no compromises and save thousands of dollars. This is Revolutionary thinking.
Your friends oooh and ahhh over your ring, clamoring to get a closer look at the stunning jewels. You are happy to extend your hand for a close examination because you know they will never be able to tell that you are not wearing a mined diamond. As you soak up the praise, you coyly mention that you’ll be honeymooning in France and house hunting when you return (you can afford to now thanks to your savings).
WE’RE CHANGING THE RULES OF THE DIAMOND INDUSTRY’S GAME. THE REVOLUTION IS HERE. Science has made tremendous advances in the last 10 years. It is now possible to create high grade jewels in a lab that rival the finest mined diamonds. The Diamond Nexus Jewel is the Revolution the diamond cartels fear and the consumer has been wishing for. It’s not a diamond. It’s not a common CZ or anything else that has ever existed. It is a technologically advanced, lab-created crystal that cannot be told apart from a diamond by anyone-not even your jeweler-without scientific testing.
WHO’S JOINING THE REVOLUTION? Every day, hundreds of people just like you choose a Diamond Nexus Engagement Ring instead of a mined diamond. We’re over 150,000 customers strong and they all know the same thing: Our patent pending stones make it possible to afford the exact ring they want without compromising a thing. This means you get your favorite cut, the setting you’ve always dreamed of, and the color and clarity you deserve while saving thousands. Our customers agree because in 5 short years, our growth has propelled us to number 294 on the IR 500 list of America’s largest E-Commerce businesses.
F R E E R E S I Z I N G W I T H I N 3 0 DAYS O F P U R C H A S E
And the really delicious part? Keeping your friends and family wondering just how successful you must be to afford it all.
STILL TOYING WITH THE IDEA OF A MINED STONE? HERE ARE THE FACTS THE DIAMOND INDUSTRY DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW: -
Diamonds aren’t really rare. Diamond cartels simply hold back the supply in order to increase their cost. Evidence of this is the fact that selling your diamond on the open market is likely to get you only about 30% of your appraised value.
- Diamond Nexus technology provides a conflict-free alternative to a mined diamond because our stones are created in a lab. - We don’t sacrifice beauty either. Our stones are flawless, D-color and just $149 per carat. - Unique cuts (radiant, asscher, etc.) and colors (rose, sapphire, etc.) are also available for no additional cost than our regular stones.

RIP ! T U O E M e me to and giv heart t e e w s r u o y
Dear Love of My Life: I am sorry that you’ve been hammered all your life with the message that you have to buy me a mined diamond for my engagement ring. I know that you are stressed out about the three months’ salary thing too. Well forget listening to myths pushed on you by big players in the diamond industry. I’d rather have a better quality stone from Diamond Nexus, and use the leftover money to spend on things like a breathtaking honeymoon or a great down payment on a house. So honey, it’s OK to purchase my engagement ring from Diamond Nexus. If you do, I’ll be getting exactly what I want, we’ll be helping the environment, and maybe we can use the leftover money for that big screen TV you want. Although it might be better to spend it on the couch that I (we) both want. Love, Me P.S. Here’s their website: www.diamondnexus.com

DARE to COMPARE! See the difference? Neither will anyone else.
Diamond Nexus is The Knot's 2011-2012 Bride's Choice for Best Jeweler
Zales mined diamond solitaire Stone Quality: E-F color, VS2, Ideal cut 1.0 carats, 18k gold, $13,999
DN diamond simulant solitaire Standard quality stone: D grade, IF, Ideal cut 1.03 carats, 18k gold, $960
When it comes to your engagement ring, which is more important: the actual quality, or what you paid for it? Remember, you’re going to be wearing the ring, not the price tag. Diamond Nexus diamond simulants look uniformly identical to the finest mined diamonds: the kind you pay over-the-top for because of their exquisite D grade color, and exceptional, flawless clarity. (Think: Harry Winston, Tiffany’s, Cartier, etc…) DN stones, on the other hand, are not limited by supply-induced scarcity and therefore can be priced much more affordably: just $99 per carat for our Classic Series stones, and $149 per carat for our Certified Signature Series stones. With solid, individually cast settings of 14k gold, 18k gold, or platinum, they easily measure up to fine diamond jewelry in craftsmanship as well. Your friends will never know the difference unless you tell them!

The CUTS of
8
DIAMOND NEXUS GEMSTONES
MARQUISE CUT - A brilliant cut stone with a unique shape that, like the trillion cut, can maximize carat weight giving you the appearance of a much larger stone. Often set with round or pear shaped side stones, it can lend a slender, long look to the hand.
HEART CUT - The ultimate symbol of love. Its rounded pavilion gives it the heightened brilliance of a round cut gem, while the pointed bottom and curved arches at the top complete the shape with symmetry and romantic sparkle.
PEAR CUT - This popular cut with a single point and rounded end looks like a tear drop. The unique look and the difficulty in executing the cut have long made it a favorite of royalty.
TRIANGLE CUT - A stepped facet cut in the shape of a wedge. Used in a variety of heart-stirring jewelry, but most often commands center stage in ladies’ pendants.
CUSHION CUT - A romantic antique cut also known as the pillow cut. Popular since 1830, the beauty of this cut is in the depth of the jewel, as well as its luxurious breadth which makes the stone appear larger.
OVAL CUT - Very similar to a round except it is elliptical. Invented in the early 1960s, this shape has a bigger surface area than a round with the same carat weight, and therefore is an excellent option for those looking for the brilliance of the round in a larger size.
ROUND CUT - The most popular, researched, and classic of all cuts. Generally, a 58 facet cut with proportions designed to maximize brilliance and dispersion (fire). When cut to perfect Ideal Cut standards, it’s the most brilliant of cuts and will show beautiful “Hearts & Arrows.”
TRILLION CUT - A dazzling and versatile triangle shape with truncated corners. One of the more unusual cuts, it displays a very sharp brilliance. Its large, wellproportioned surface area results in a big look: a one-carat trillion will look as large as a one-anda-half carat round gemstone.
RADIANT CUT - A beautiful combination of the classic elegance of the emerald cut and the sparkle of the round brilliant. Similar to a princess, but with a rectangular outline and blocked corners like those of an emerald cut. The radiant cut is dramatic as a solitaire but also looks great paired with side staging stones such as baguettes, trillions, or princess shapes.
EMERALD CUT - A step cut with broad, flat planed facets. The emerald cut shows less brilliance and dispersion (fire) than the other brilliant cut diamonds, but it has a classic elegance preferred by many. Its large, open table highlights a stone’s clarity.
ASSCHER CUT - A beautifully unique, antique cut developed in the early 1900’s. The beauty of this elegant cut is that it draws the eye deep into the stone’s center, which is the exact opposite of modern gem cuts in which the facets repel the eye in the name of brilliance.
PRINCESS CUT - Square in shape with pointed corners, this cut is second in popularity to the round brilliant. With 76 facets, it is very brilliant and full of fire. A very popular engagement ring choice.

MYTHS 6 • About Diamonds & Simulants •
1
DIAMONDS ARE RARE. Actually,
diamonds are plentiful. However, a few really big companies control the majority of the supply of the world’s diamonds. Each year they allow a certain amount to be available for purchase. By controlling the supply, they can jack up the price and create artificial rarity.
6
YOU SHOULD SPEND TWO TO THREE MONTHS’ SALARY ON YOUR RING. Guess who came up
3 MINED DIAMONDS YOU BUY FROM A REPUTABLE JEWELER ARE ALL PERFECTLY CUT.
5
CONFLICT DIAMONDS DON’T EXIST ANYMORE.
Right now only 11% of our nation’s jeweler’s can truly claim that their stones are conflict free. The rest? Well… Diamond mining is filled with horror stories of brutality to people and to the environment. Strip mining leaves behind barren land that can't be used for planting and feeding families.
DIAMONDNEXUS.COM
IF IT’S A SIMULANT, IT MUST BE CZ
Not true. Diamond Nexus stones are created with a revolutionary, patent pending formula. Our stone is different from a CZ stone in four key ways: weight, hardness, coating, and chemical composition. These differences result in a superior Diamond Nexus stone with qualities that, upon visual inspection, are indistinguishable from a mined diamond. Please check out our learning center at diamondnexus.com
Not true. Jewelers often sacrifice the cut of their diamonds, making the cuts too shallow or too deep, in order to make more use of their raw material and to give you a stone that appears larger. Less than 15% of the world’s mined diamonds are cut to the Ideal Cut Standard, a standard which maximizes the brilliance of your stone. At Diamond Nexus, each stone we create is cut to this Ideal Standard.

with that idea? The ad agency for DeBeers. What you pay for your ring should be about what you feel comfortable spending. Personally, we think you should be able to pay for your ring, go on the uber-romantic tropical honeymoon, and return home debt free.
PEOPLE WILL KNOW I’M NOT WEARING A MINED DIAMOND. Not if it’s a revolutionary Diamond Nexus stone on your finger. Our stones are hard like diamonds, sparkle like diamonds, and will never cloud or chip. Our exquisite settings are heavy gold (think Cartier & Tiffany, not your typical mall jeweler). In fact, not even your jeweler will be able to tell the difference. The only way we do not compare to a mined stone is the cost.

Every few years, new ring styles take the stage and become instant favorites with brides. (Think colored stones, pavé settings, etc.) Well the same is true for precious metals over the decades. From yellow gold to platinum, each metal has its own set of virtues. 14kt…18kt…What’s the difference? Why don’t I see rings in 24kt Gold? 24kt gold is 100% pure gold. So why aren’t all engagement rings made out of it? Well, it is generally too soft to be used in jewelry making. Most gold jewelry needs to be combined with some other element to give it strength and durability. Some common metals gold is combined with are: nickel, zinc, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium. So, for example, 18kt gold is 18 parts gold and 6 parts another metal. That is why 18kt gold is said to be 75% pure (18/24). The science of mixing alloys is really quite interesting. All gold is yellow when it comes out of the Earth. It is the metal you mix with it that creates the different colors we love. White gold is created by mixing yellow gold with nickel. Since a lot of people are allergic to nickel, palladium is another metal used to create the color of white gold. It’s more expensive than nickel, but does not cause allergic reaction. All Diamond Nexus white gold is made with palladium. All white gold jewelry is then coated with rhodium, a member of the platinum family. Rhodium makes the ring brighter, more shiny, and more durable. Rose gold is created by mixing copper with yellow gold. There is a big trend right now to mix gold colors in a ring. Tri-color rings can be a unique way to make a statement. As you might have guessed, the higher the proportion of gold used in the final metal, the more valuable and expensive the metal will be. All things being equal, an 18kt ring will be more expensive than a 14kt ring. Some engagement rings in the United States are 18kt, but 14kt is more common and in many ways is a better choice. Once on your finger, it is difficult to see a difference between the two. All Diamond Nexus engagement rings are available in either 14k or 18k gold, as well as platinum and palladium.
Yellow Gold vs. White Gold
rings in the USA are made in a white color metal, be it white gold or platinum. There are certainly women who are diehard yellow gold fans (more power to you!), but most purchases these days are for rings with a white gold finish. The popularity of stones set in white metal comes from the fact that white metal sets off a diamond center stone with a brighter, more radiant look.
Platinum…the Ultimate metal? Platinum is an exceptional, very white metal, which unlike gold is used to make jewelry in almost its pure form. When you get a platinum ring it is likely to be 95% pure with only minimal trace elements making up the other 5%. Strong and long wearing, platinum does not need to be rhodium plated like white gold and a ring made of platinum will be heavier than its white gold counterpart. Platinum is certainly an elegant choice for an engagement ring setting and many couples fall in love with its prestige. Still, many couples shy away from its high price tag. Also, platinum is not as bright and reflective as white gold and it develops a “patina” over time. Platinum lovers value this understated luster, but some couples don’t care for the duller look. A note on our gold bands…whether you choose white or yellow, 14kt or 18kt, rose gold or platinum, all of our settings are solid (not hollowed out as some jewelers do to save money.)
Nearly 80% of all engagement rings in the USA are made in a white color metal, be it white gold or platinum.
It’s a matter of taste. Years ago, most engagement rings were created in yellow gold, but the trend over the last two decades continues to favor white gold for an engagement setting. Nearly 80% of the engagement DIAMONDNEXUS.COM

Color describes the amount of color a diamond contains. The color scale ranges from absolutely colorless (D color) which is the most preferred, all the way down to colors that can be quite gray and muddy looking. In addition to white stones, diamonds can come in some pretty intense colors called "fancy colors" which may be yellow, red, pink, blue, and even green. But when most people think of a diamond, they are thinking of the traditional white diamond. All of our stones are D color.

CARAT Carat is the unit of weight for a diamond. In nature, large diamonds are much rarer than small ones, so they will come with a much higher price tag. A three carat stone may be priced as high as twenty times the price of a one carat stone. Diamond Nexus gemstones are not subject to this issue of size scarcity: all of our stones carry the same percarat price.

Cut speaks to the way a diamond’s proportions are created. It is really quite mathematical. An ideally cut diamond will yield the most fire and brilliance. In the jewelry industry, the Ideal Cut Formula was first developed in 1919 by Marcel Tolkowsky, a Belgian diamond cutter and engineer. All Diamond Nexus stones are cut using the Ideal Cut Formula to bring out the fire in your ring.

When Mother Nature makes a diamond, she does it with a lot of heat, a lot of pressure, and one element: carbon. When Diamond Nexus makes a diamond simulant, we do it very much the same way, but we add some additional elements to the mix. The result is an incredibly hard crystalline substance that looks, wears, and endures just like a natural mined diamond. The stone we create in the lab cannot visually be told apart from a mined diamond by anyone: not even your jeweler, let alone your mother-inlaw. It even cuts glass. Our revolutionary patent-pending process (or how we make these amazing stones shine) is long and complicated, but ultimately worth it. Here’s a snapshot of the process (on right.) To learn a lot more about our process, visit the Simulant Creation Process pages on our website at www.diamondnexus.com/product-educationthe-simulant-creation-process.html
The PROCESS of a

DIAMOND NEXUS GEMSTONE
3

1. CREATING THE MATRIX - At extreme temperatures, approaching 4000 degrees, we mix a proprietary blend of elements in a very specific sequence and we bring them to a molten state called a “matrix”. 2. COOLING
- The matrix is then cooled in stages in a carefully controlled fashion. During this cooling process, the crystals form. After the matrix is cooled, the product is called a "boule" which is a solid object containing crystallized and non-crystallized material.
3. EXTRACTION
- The boule is broken up (actually with a big hammer) and the crystals are extracted. At this point, they resemble an uncut, rough diamond crystal.
4. INSPECTION
- The crystals are then inspected for quality in a similar fashion to how rough diamonds are inspected and graded. A laser beam is passed through the crystal which highlights internal flaws and gives a guide for rough cutting.
5. CUTTING - Once rough cutting is complete, the stones are again sorted and moved on to the final cutting stage which is done in our Austrian fine-cutting facility. Because our crystals are basically flawless after rough cutting, the cutting process can be much more precise than for a natural diamond, as the cutters are not trying to “work around” and hide flaws. This enables all stones to be cut to Ideal Cut standards, which only about 15% of stones achieve in the diamond world. (This yields the desirable “Hearts & Arrows” pattern found in the finest cut mined diamonds.) R I N G E N G R AV I N G AVA I L A B L E F O R $ 2 5

- The Diamond Nexus coating is much different from anything else available on the market today, and has been a multi-year development process. The DNL coating material is corundum and other proprietary materials which is substantial, visible under microscopy, and has important measurable physical characteristics. The coating seals the stones’ surface, greatly lowers porosity, makes the stone impervious to outside contaminants, and increases its hardness. The coating is not fully transparent, and the slight opaque and blue phase shift imparted brings the brilliance and dispersion of the stone almost exactly in line with a natural diamond. Our coating process is extensive, unique to us, and quite expensive.
7. QUALITY CONTROL - Diamond Nexus gemstones are sorted and graded in the same way as earth-mined diamonds. Each stone is inspected, evaluated, and graded against a perfect control sample. Any gemstones exhibiting defects in cut, color, or clarity are rejected. Gemstones are stored in diamond paper until they are sold as loose stones, or set in jewelry.

Start your marriage off on the right foot with an eco-friendly wedding. Use some of these tips to get going. PLANTS
Potted plants are great to use as centerpieces instead of cut flowers. They can be planted in your yard afterward. Some green couples even feature vases filled with little pine tree seedlings; guests can take them home to plant, then watch them grow with the marriage.
TRAVEL
Having your reception in the same venue as the ceremony, (or, at most, very nearby) cuts down on travel and reduces vehicle emissions from guests. Not only that, but it helps prevent Uncle Irwin from getting lost as he tries to navigate the little map drawn on the back of his invitation.

DESIGNER COLLECTION
SCOTT
FAÚVER Sleek, contemporary style, inspired by clean lines and modern architecture.
MODERN DESIGN
1
The original Faúver Collection embraces a distinctly clean, contemporary look. Scott’s personal favorite is the “Piper,” since it took every tool of modern design to create it. It is, as he calls it,“simplicity at its finest.”
ABOUT SCOTT FAÚVER Scott Faúver Jones was born and raised in Wisconsin. His middle name, which he chose for the name of his jewelry line, was originally his grandmother’s maiden name. Fittingly enough,“Faúver” is a surname originating in southern France that refers to a smith or a craftsman. Scott has always been an artist, even since childhood.“At Christmas, all my friends got expensive presents,” he recalls.“My parents did not have the money, so I ended up making most of my toys so I could play with the other (kids).” This sense of creativity and adventure served him well later in life when he began his work in jewelry in the late 1970s, opened his own custom jewelry shop in the 80s, traveled the country as a Master Painter for the Thomas Kindade Co., and later became a Navy photographer for eight years before returning to his love of jewelry design. Scott has made jewelry for two presidents, (these pieces are currently in the Smithsonian Institution,) two first ladies, and one royal Princess. He has been approached many times before about creating his own line of jewelry, and has always declined because he didn’t feel comfortable with the people who were offering. But after having worked with Diamond Nexus for awhile and getting to know the company, he finally “felt like the time was right.” He says,“I feel like I’m part of the family.”

MICHAEL
NASHEF
Romantic and nostalgic, filled with soft curves and shapes inspired by nature.
INTERSECTING HEARTS When two unique people come together in love, they remain individuals… but their common interests and dreams intersect, growing into a new life. The Intersecting Hearts design by Michael Nashef, which he originally designed for his wife’s engagement ring, represents this joining of two hearts. The shape formed by the overlap resembles two budding leaves for a fresh, blossoming look that speaks to a lifetime of growth and love between a couple.
1
ABOUT MICHAEL NASHEF Michael S. Nashef was born in Lebanon. His father used to own a factory that made leather bags, purses, and other such things. This helped inspire Michael’s creativity from an early age. When he was 13, he designed his own backpack for the new school year and made it in the family factory. He’s had a love of creative design ever since. Unfortunately, due to civil war, Michael’s family eventually lost the factory. They immigrated to the United States in 1998, starting a new home in Michigan. Michael never lost his passion for design and creating new things. He loves all kinds of handy work, especially woodworking and crafting jewelry.

Michael was a bench jeweler for twelve years, and graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design at Ferris State University in 2006 with a degree in metal and jewelry design. Inspired by travel, nature, and architecture, he incorporates elements from all these things into his work, including the engagement ring he made for his wife Maya. The two had their first daughter, Sarah, in April of 2012.

“This is absolutely exquisite! It’s better than beautiful; way beyond gorgeous. I had serious reservations about the possibility of getting my dream translated — via computer — into an actual piece of jewelry. You not only did an incredible job, but you were extremely helpful and patient. Your skill and expertise are obvious. This was a totally wonderful experience.” – Jody
Relax, making your custom piece will be a lot easier than planning the wedding. So, you’re probably imagining the process to be as arduous as the painting of the Sistine Chapel, but trust us, it’s way easier. You give our designer your engagement ring vision (verbally, on a napkin, from a magazine, or even just say “I don’t know… help me”) and they will design your ring using first sketches and then Computer Aided Design (CAD). It’s painless, affordable, and a fabulous experience. At the other end of it, you’ll have a drool worthy ring backed by a lifetime guarantee. Speaking of which, we stand behind our work 100%. If you’re not completely thrilled with the final product, most of our custom creations are covered by our 30-day return policy with nothing but a 20% design fee and the original CAD fee, when applicable. The really good news is that our stones are guaranteed for life. Your Diamond Nexus stones have all the lifetime wearability of natural diamonds. If any stone ever fades, discolors, or becomes damaged, or is lost from its setting, a free replacement will be granted.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST & HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? Way less than you probably thought! On average, most full custom rings fall in a price range between $1600 and $3200. Custom earrings, necklaces, etc., have no average cost as their design can range from very simple to extremely elaborate. Four factors determine the cost of your piece.
DESIGN FEE - The initial consultation with our designers is free; the optional Computer Aided Design (CAD) image rendering is $150.
Custom pieces can be done in as little as ten days from the time your design is finalized.
LABOR - The more complicated the design, the more intensive
STONES - Almost all Diamond Nexus gemstones are priced at a standard $149 per carat.
METAL - The cost of precious metals varies from day to day with the global market. The amount of metal required for your design and the type of metal you select will determine its cost. the craftsmanship will be and hence the greater the cost of labor. That cannot be determined until we know exactly what we are creating.
THE PROCESS
STEP 1 - Give a picture, a sketch, or even choose elements from multiple rings. Your imagination is your only boundary.
STEP 2 - In some cases, rough sketches are done as the ring design is fine tuned.

A WEDDING STORY // Brian & Andrea Imagine your story... & let us bring it to life!
Wedding Photography by Lisa Arnold LisaArnoldPhotography.com
“As we began to prepare for marriage, we went on a grand ring search...Fortunately, we came across the Nexus Design Studio.” Brian and I met the summer of 2005. We interacted several times over the next two years with nothing more than a few words, until a mutual friend and I took up a new hobby of decorating homes. Brian recently purchased a place and she asked if we could help him make his house a home. Next thing you know, all three of us were choosing color schemes and painting his living room. As we began to interact more, conversations became frequent and rather effortless. Eventually, we were spending hours at a time on the phone. Finally, he couldn’t resist the temptation any longer and asked me out for a first date. I’m not exactly sure when the “fall” occurred. I fell in love somewhere between Brian answering all of my bizarre, random questions and him flying to the east coast to meet my parents. Brian and I were very open about the idea of marriage from the beginning: our fears, our expectations, and our concerns. We were using this time to find out if we were created for one another. Inevitably, we were. As we began to prepare for marriage, we went on a grand ring search. After many dead ends, I almost gave up trying to find something unique and was thinking of settling. Fortunately, we came

across The Nexus Design Studio and within days, we were looking through their catalog. We found a new burst of excitement. They even had a design department that would create a one-of-a-kind ring for us! We saw a ring that gave us inspiration and quickly started creating a masterpiece. Working with Jeremy made the design process easy! After a few ideas were bounced around, Nexus created renderings of the ring to show our progress. Late one Saturday night at my parents’ house, Brian proposed while surrounded by family. As he was on one knee, expressing his feelings with a trembling voice and a deep intensity in his eyes, he presented the ring we’d designed through The Nexus Design Studio. This was the first time I had seen the ring beyond renderings. Beautiful is an understatement! My hands shaking and my sister snapping pictures left and right, I only remember saying “Yes.” With that one word, we were engaged.

C. They must look FABULOUS! I don’t care if they hurt; I’ll deal with it.
RESULTS MOSTLY A:
You’ll probably like something with a low profile setting. Few or no accent stones would be ideal for a clean, uncomplicated look with just the right amount of sparkle. Consider a solitaire or simply accented solitaire for a beautiful, timeless design that won’t get in the way of your lifestyle.
62
DIAMONDNEXUS.COM
MOSTLY B:
For overall radiance, multi-stone rings filled with eye-catching accents are most likely to appeal to you, though three-stone rings are also a brilliant alternative if you’d like a slightly simpler look that still dazzles. If detailed metalworking is your taste, check out some of our more modest vintagestyle pieces for that perfect balance between carats and craftsmanship.
MOSTLY C:
Ever bold and dramatic, you’ll likely find that elaborate showcase pieces suit you best. Check out our ornate styles with lots of accents, unusual shapes, and large stones that capture attention from across the room. No need to shy away from high-profile settings, either! Many of our vintage-style pieces may appeal to you too, with their hint of old-fashioned opulence.
