ROMANCING THE STONE: SETTINGS TO ENHANCE YOUR ENGAGEMENT DIAMOND

How do you give an engagement ring to a girl who owns a jewelry store?  You give her the one thing she can't get herself - a family heirloom diamond. 

My fiance', Craig, recently proposed with his grandmother's diamond ring.  Wearing an heirloom stone links the bride to be with her future family in a profoundly personal way. But you can still add your own style to an heirloom ring if you and your fiance' decide to reset the stone in a new, spectacular setting.  You'll have your something old and something new!  Make sure to get the blessings of the person who gave it to you.

SETTING YOUR STONE TO REFLECT YOUR PERSONALITY

A visit to your local jeweler is a must.  The ring should reflect who you are, so follow your instincts.  If a ring isn't you, try on something else.  Make your jeweler aware of the styles you like - modern, antique, or vintage inspired.  There are stunning new engagement ring settings designed to enhance your diamond.  Here are three great examples.  My diamond was re-set in a Hearts On Fire 3-stone "Enrichment" setting, surrounding and enhancing the beauty of my center stone.  Another fantastic style utilizes a 'Halo' of diamonds around the stone.  Hearts On Fire "Repertoire" and "Repertoire Dream" settings make the center stone actually appear larger.  Choosing a diamond band adds sparkle to your ring.  This time is all about romance, so add romance to your stone!
