Happy Stories From our customers

Let’s start with an emphatic NO. Hearts are an ancient symbol of love that have been used in the form of jewelry and other art forms for a long, long time. We’ve made countless pieces of heart-shaped jewelry and we can assure you, the happy, romantic wearers don’t mind “going there.”

With that said, heart jewelry doesn’t suit all tastes. How do you know if you or your partner is the heart wearing type?

You’re a romantic at heart.

You cry at sad movies.

You like the color pink.

You love the act of cuddling.

You believe that love will always prevail.

You wear your heart on your sleeve.

Wearing heart jewelry means you’re not afraid to show your emotions and your basic love of love. You embrace all that is romance and don’t mind basking in the beauty of it.

Giving hearts to a loved one means you’re proud of your feelings for that lucky recipient. You are giving a wearable reminder that the wearer is loved.

The final verdict? Go there! Be a heart-wearing fool!

This is a great video showing the new Charles & Colvard hearts and arrows cut vs their standard cut in both color options, D/E/F color and G/H/I color, both in the new F1 crystal. The hearts and arrows is cut more to diamond proportions so it has a taller crown and a smaller table. Stone #1 is the new hearts and arrows cut F1 GHI color. Stone #2 is the standard cut F1 DEF color. Both cuts are available in either color. The GHI color face up very white while the DEF colors are completely colorless.

Let’s face it: Valentine’s Day puts a lot of pressures on couples (to say nothing about singles). It’s hard to force romance after all.  It’s something that evolves naturally and organically, like a rose bud opening.

But with that said, we can still honor the holiday of love in simple ways that don’t require too much forced effort.

Have a romantic breakfast in bed. This one doesn’t require a ton of work and it starts the day off on the right foot (especially if you have a busy work day ahead of you). Make the breakfast a little extra special. Add some blueberries and coconut to those pancakes. Make the coffee extra delicious with a dollop of whipped cream. Then spend some time in bed actually enjoying it together.

Put a plant in the ground together. Seeds, planting, growth, reaching toward to the heat of the sun–plants naturally symbolize love in all its growth and beauty. Find a plant you both enjoy and put in the earth together, reminding each other what it represents every time you look at it.

Dare to write a  poem. Listen, nobody said it has to be good! There isn’t a woman or man out there who doesn’t like poetic words written about them. Take a little time to write something sweet but most importantly, sincere–that goes a lot further than sounding like the next Keats or Shelley.

Remember, Valentine’s Day is about love, not getting it right or spending a ton of money. Simply show that significant other in your life your deepest and most profound feelings–that’s free afterall!

Prongs will be shorter when finished

Okay, the answer is jewelry! We couldn’t keep it in. But it’s no surprise to you, is it? Jewelry is afterall the icing on the cake and the cherry on top to any style!

This quick and easy video provides some basic advice on how to jazz up the simplest of outfits (actually, it’s the simpler outfits that are most effectively dressed up).

Hint: don’t be afraid to go big!

Charles & Colvard’s new Forever One Hearts and Arrows cut, moissanite cut to diamond proportions. We think it’s absolutely gorgeous! This video shot outside in indirect lighting.

Unedited studio video. You can see the arrows for a split second when the stone is directly facing the camera.

The power of three is universal and is often used to represent past, present and future; body, soul and spirit; birth, life, death; beginning, middle and end. So you can only imagine why three stones on an engagement ring can indicate so much!

In the case of BC’s D Flawless Three Stone Emerald Cut Ring, the stones are emerald cut.

What is an emerald cut exactly?

An emerald cut is considered a “stepped” cut, originally developed for cutting emeralds, but now, equally suited to other stones, such as diamonds.

An emerald cut with a square-looking profile (as opposed to a rectangular profile) is often referred to as an Asscher cut.

Emerald cut diamonds create a hall-of-mirrors effect, with the dramatic interplay of dark and light planes.

Emerald cut diamonds give an elegant, somewhat dramatic look to an engagement ring and have been seen on the hands of Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Angelina Jolie and Kate Hudson.

So why bother with a custom made emerald cut engagement ring when you could walk out of a high-end jewelry store, box in hand?

Because what’s in that box lasts a lifetime. Make it count by creating a truly unique piece where every detail is drawn from your love.

In 2012, Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds surprised the world when they got married (on the sly). Reynolds put a gorgeous 12-carat oval-cut diamond on Lively’s finger (allegedly valued at a cool $2 million).

Our Lively-inspired ring is an oval pave halo custom made engagement ring with three rows of pavé diamonds that inspires celebrity levels ooh’s and ahh’s…and definitely not anywhere near $2 million!
