Spring is officially here and floral designs are busting out everywhere, including the red carpet. At Sunday night’s Tony awards, many a celebrity donned a floral-inspired dress (see below) and posed in front of an amazing floral backdrop that served to enhance the natural beauty of the celebrity.
The backdrop included 100,000 red roses and was designed by famed florist Raul Àvila. It took nearly 20 hours and 50 crew members to assemble. Wow!

Engagements are serious businesses. And wedding plans are based on detail. That type of detail touches every aspect, including the choice of cut for your engagement ring.
The cut of a ring is a personal decision (since there are so many!). Rose cut stones are becoming increasingly popular, especially with millennials who appreciate the simple, clean line approach to ring design.
But the rose cut dates way back (all the way to the 1500’s).
Why is it called a rose cut?
The stones are designed to resemble the petals of a rose by imitating the spiral of petals. Usually, they are flat at the bottom which creates a larger surface area of the stone’s brilliance. It’s considered a simpler cut than the brilliant cut but continues to gain in popularity because of its simplicity.
Here’s an example of rose cut sapphires.
Do you have celebrity ring dreams? So do we! One of the most fabulous celeb engagement rings belongs to the lovely Blake Lively, and we are ready to recreate the glam look just for you! Shown here, with a massive 10x14mm oval moissanite center set in rose gold, this ring is nothing sort of amazing.
If 8ct feels a little *too* celeb for you, we can recreate this using the center stone of your choice. You can keep it like the original, and make this ring in rose gold, or make it all your own and pick the metal of your choice. This dazzling setting sparkles from all angles and showcases pave on all three sides of the shank, as well as under the center stone. Let us make your celebrity ring dreams a reality.
The above is a CAD rendering to show you how this ring could look. Below is a real-life version of this ring that we recently made with a round center stone.
Check out the beautiful 10x14mm oval moissanite we have reserved for this design. This is quite possibly the last remaining 14 x 10mm oval Forever Brilliant moissanite left.
Did you know that the makers of Lucky Charms cereal were inspired by charm bracelets? It’s true! While General Mills may use blue moons, orange shooting stars, purple horseshoes and green leprechaun hats as cereal “charms”, more traditional charms consist of hearts, keys, stars, crosses, infinity circles and a wide array of other symbols.
Take some soulful time to go through your jewelry box and see what “symbols” resonate with you. Or think of a piece of jewelry that you wore to a “lucky” event, where the stars seemed perfectly aligned and everything went just your way. Don’t pick too many pieces–try to find just one. Then hold it in your hand for a while and infuse it with your wildest wishes, dreams and hopes. Light a candle and leave the “lucky charm” near it, infusing the magic even more.
The next time you put on the piece of jewelry, put it on consciously, knowing you’re also wearing your dreams charged and ready to come true!
